Disneyland is a work of love: June 2010 PTR 6/2 p.61 updated itinerary

[GoofySon'sMom]

Ok I didn't make any adr's for arrival day since I don't have our tickets yet.

11/29 Biergarten 1:15pm
11/30 Crystal Palace 8:10am
12/1 50's Prime Time 5:30pm
12/2 Brown Derby 3:35pm Fantasmic Dinner Package
12/3 Akershus 6:30pm
12/4 Boma 6:35pm
12/5 Tony's 5:00pm This night we are going to MVMCP
12/6 LeCellier 6:40pm
12/7 Whispering Canyon 5:00pm
12/8 Tusker House 8:00am
12/9 Ohana 5:00pm

So far that is it. I still have to make 1 more for breakfast probably at Chef Mickeys on 12/10 and I can do that tomorrow.

These look great! We have eaten at all of them except Akershus since I only have a boy! As much as I am looking forward to our first trip to Disneyland, I admit to being a bit meloncholy that we aren't going to WDW this year! Enjoy!

Thanks. Did you like them all? I have a question for anybody that can answer I have Ridemax and TGM do I really need them both? Can I just follow ridemax? My dh doesn't really want to parkhop and I have us park hopping 3 times.

I did have to switch my Le Cell day from the one I had originally planned because my first choice of days they only had an 8:40pm available and that wouldn't fly with a 5 year old. I only switched it to my other Epcot day though. I was surprised that I really didn't have any trouble and that was the only time available. My dd however just said this morning she wants to eat in the castle. I will only go there for breakfast though as I have heard that the other meals are not so good. So I have to find a morning for that.

I miss WDW planning.

Ridemax is plenty. Just use TGM for best/worst days.

When is your next WDW trip?

Ridemax is plenty. Just use TGM for best/worst days.

Well that is what I did. I looked at my plans and I only have us PH 2 nights. The 2 nights we are hopping are for AK EMH in the evening, and MK so we can see Spectro and Wishes.

When is your next WDW trip?

It was going to be December 2011 but with 3 bat/bar mitzvahs in the next 4 years to pay for, I am thinking a mega trip is not in the budget. I was hoping for a 16 day THV/SSR split stay but it isn't going to happen now. Right now I haven't a clue when our next Disney trip will be after this one.

Well that is what I did. I looked at my plans and I only have us PH 2 nights. The 2 nights we are hopping are for AK EMH in the evening, and MK so we can see Spectro and Wishes.

I love your plans! I can't wait to hear every detail. I will have to live through you!

I figured PH wasn't really going to be that big of deal since we will only park hop after we take our afternoon break. We will just go to supper and then spend time in whatever park we ate at.

 

[pooh'smate]

I will let you in on my plans when I make them. I only have what days I am in each park planned. I forgot my list at home otherwise I would share them with you now. I will get it up tonight or tomorrow for you.

To be honest, we didn't love Whispering Canyon. I know others really do though so I always say that everyone should try things on their own.

And Tony's has been hit or miss ... some meals we absolutely loved and others were somewhat of a disappointment.

The rest of your choices include a lot of our favorites! Especially Le Cellier & Biergarten!

It was going to be December 2011

That is possibly our long range WDW plan as well ... or maybe October for Food & Wine. We went Christmas week last year and loved it ... crowds and all!

I am debating between lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern and WCC. I am going to Tony's because my dd loves Lady and the Tramp and because Jenny said it was good. I always hear about Tony's being hit or miss so I am hoping it will be a hit when we go. Biergarten looks good. Does it make a difference if you go for lunch or supper?

We love LTT for lunch! I have never gone to Biergarten for lunch because I read that they only have sauerbraten & spaetzle at dinner and those are two of my favs. I am not sure if they have the entertainment at lunch? I am thinking they might but don't know for sure. They have really good potato soup with pretzel rolls for dipping! I could make a meal just out of that!

We found Tony's better the couple of times we had lunch there. I also go because I love Lady & the Tramp. We only had one actual bad meal there and one so-so one. I think all restaurants can have an off day.

Traditionally Tony's is the last meal on our trips to WDW and 'Ohana is the first.

I got my much awaited reply from Disneyland on my email to guest services. They asked me to call them. So tomorrow I am calling during business hours and am going to ask about my GAD fastpasses and what is going on with that.

Let me know what they say. I wonder why they didn't/couldn't answer you in the email?

I know, I was kind of non plussed on that too. So tomorrow morning after I get home from taxiing the kids around I will call and then let you know.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I was just curious that if they are using the fast pass machines for the WoC are the GAD fast passes still going to be good. So I am finding out.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Cool.....I would think they are.....I was assuming they gave you the FP's like they do on some of the tours.....but I'll be interested in hearing their answer.
