Very cool!!!! I am going to get balloons for Father's Day even though we leave the day before. I am going to get pics for the kids and also have them purchase some Disney Dollars for them for when we arrive.

I love Disney Dollars. I love both them and the Disney gift cards.

I love Disney Dollars. I love both them and the Disney gift cards.

I haven't done the gift cards before- maybe that's the way to go. It's just so fun though to have a big wad of Disney Dollars even if they are mostly ones.


The Tooth Fairy brings Disney Dollars in my home.

Smart tooth fairy. We don't have the tooth fairy anymore, she has retired.

I think that I want to get some Disney Dollars for the scrapbook.

You are shaming Disneyland and I both.

 

[rentayenta]

I do heart Disneyland, I do but they are denying me my planning nirvana with their uncertainty. Ridemax is still on hold until they know the hours.

They are kind of playing with that planning buzz aren't they?

No kidding.


I cannot imagine what is so difficult to determine. I imagine they have spent millions on the WoC so you'd think their initial plan had provisions for seating and show times.

I would think so, but maybe for some reason they have come up with problems. I am having a problem figuring how people will get around in DCA during WoC. I mean you will be stuck on what ever side of the park you are on. I think it is a planning mess.

Good point. And then from being stuck how will we be herding into the waiting area. And how about those with dining packages?

I know. I am thinking that I want to be out of DCA by the time the whole WoC crowd starts coming in. I figure the early part of the day in DCA.

That's a good plan. My guess is that if the first show is really at 9 pm, I'd get outta Dodge by 7 pm at the latest.



I think I have hit a new planning low, blame it entirely on Disney, and have decided to post what we might order at the restaurants. Bare/bear with me. My family prefers to eat family style and we are BIG into sharing so I don’t plan on eating 100% of anything and there are 6 of us.

Naples
~ Calamari Fritti
~ large Spinaci salad
~ Pizza Margherita
~ Polpettine (meatball) sandwich
~ Rigatoni al Pesto e Gamberi (shrimp)
~ 2 Tiramisu

Storyteller’s Café Breakfast not sure if we’ll do the buffet or not. Might do buffet for everyone but me.

Wine Country Trattoria rumor has it their menu is drastically changing
~ a few House salads
~ Meatball sandwich. My DS and I these!
~ Lasagna Rustica
~ Chicken Panini
~ Tiramisu
~ Orange Sorbet

Blue Bayou
~ Tesoro Island Chicken
~ Five Pepper Roast NY
~ Buccaneer’s Beef Short Ribs
~ Kid-cut Roast NY
~ 2 Crème Brulee

Café Orleans

Oh gosh....this is the one thing I do plan. I have been looking at the menus of all the restaurants on the different websites that have them. I like the idea of ordering different things and sharing. Scotty and I do that.

So I am not a total nut for doing this. I love sharing, I don't need more than a few bites of anything.

Oh and the meal is so much more exciting and fulfilling if you get to try everything.

 

[jordanyosh]

I don't see my name on there anywhere....

Totally. Plus I always like whatever DH orders more than what I order. I might start posting CS and snacks if Disney doesn't get their crap together!

I don't see my name on there anywhere....

I left out names to protect the innocent! How the heck are ya? Are we still meeting? We are staying all Friday night now. That might work better for you being the weekend and all.
