First time in the world oct. 2014

[spiritsim]

Raina is correct we will pay oop for the 2 signature places. The rest will be on our dinning plan.

Thanks for all the well wishes, Franks back is healing very well and his sugars are way down from before surgery........He just has to be able to get up our stairs and in and out of the bed with out a grab bar and then he can come home......I can't wait miss him terrible we are always together so I am very lonely without him. I told him we changed our date for Disney he said whatever we think works best....love that man.

 

[disneychic2]

Aww, that's so sweet! Frank sounds like a really great guy. I'm sorry he's in pain. He has a pretty terrific wife who loves and supports him too!!

I didn't know that about paying oop being more beneficial than using the credits. Good information to have!

Have a great day!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Where did i miss about ADR's?!?!?

post again please??

i think i might do the 2 credit for Cindy's table. then pay OOP for quick services. much cheaper in my case.

Ohana's is OK.. my husband is the one who won't give it up...

BTW you need to change the name of your report since you changed your dates!!!

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

Mom, you need to post a list of our ADRs so we can get feedback......even though we have changed enough just between the two of us

Actually, the pony rides and HDDMR is at Ft Wilderness. Just get on the boat that will go to Ft Wilderness instead of the one to Wilderness Lodge. Unless you just want to see WL, in which case there is a path you can walk to Ft Wilderness, or you can catch a boat there.

Everything sounds great, if a bit adventuresome! Two MNSSHPs?? I absolutely loved that party and hope to go again before too long!

You can call 407-WDW-DINE to make barber shop reservations. Barber shop hours are 9 to 5 everyday. Go to allears dot com for more info if you like.

My 2 cents for what it's worth.

BOOOOOOOOOOO

now how soon do I need to make a reservation for main st barber and where do I make it at? number? Can you make a reservation before rope drop like BBB or not?

i don't know how early you can make the reservation.. but here is the number
(407) WDW-PLAY

 

[veggiemama]

I'm very late to the party apparently - 29 pages already???

I am going to be there at the same time with my mom celebrating her birthday.

Going back to read now - looking forward to seeing what you are planning....

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

Thanks for the input y'all!!!

I hope we have made some good choices.....we have been agonizing over them for a year now!!!

Yeah, cs-sounter service....we are trying to leave these somewhat open so we can just see how we feel while we are at the parks but if you have any suggestions...

Well, I have read in a couple of people's comments and reports that MNSSHP just has too much to see and do.....so, IF we get free dining, and IF we want to....we might do it twice (I mean, we will be there for 12 days.....)

 

[disneychic2]

I would totally do MNSSHP twice if I could! The CMs really get into it and it is just a great and fun atmosphere. The parade is awesome and the fireworks are spectacular. Be sure to go around the Haunted Mansion. If your girls don't want to ride it, the special effects during the party are, well, pretty special! Here I am, getting all excited about it too!!

 

[disneychic2]

I was wondering how Frank is doing? Hopefully he is home by now.

Also, I made an appointment for our granddaughter at the Harmony Barber Shop yesterday and this is the number you call: 407-WDW-TOUR. Don't know why there, but that was the number they gave me and it worked.

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

Ooooooh thanks! I will call them and find out what we can do!!! YAY!!!!!

I'm sure mom will post something soon, but yes, Frank is home He is doing well. Had a small setback but nothing major and they still let him go home. Now mom has her work cut out for her!!!

 

[spiritsim]

Sorry my comp was in the shop ,just got it back. Yes frank is home. He came home sat for a one day trial to see how he would get along. Did great but fell sun night at the nursing home, and I had to take him to the emergencey room to make sure nothing was dislodged or broken. But he is all right ,just very badly bruised his bum. It is a wonderful purple color. Poor guy, having trouble finding a comfortable seat. Other than that he's doing great his sugars are down in the 80-90s and he is eating 3 square meals a day. And for treats I got him sugar free ice cream ,jello and pudding. So he can ask for something sweet but doesn't make his sugar go up. Thanks for asking I love having him home again!

And for Mo, my niebors went to T-Rex the menu is a little different than our rainforest café. And of course its a dinasore theme but her kids loved it
And yes he keeps me hopping but I don't mind

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

So, I was watching a Stacey video today with the girls, and Audrey started BEGGING to go to the water park What? When are we gonna fit that in? I mean, we had already figured out our park days (hopefully).

Well, I started crunching numbers and it will only cost us about $150 for the six of us to add the WP option. What? Apparently I did not pay that much attention when we were first looking at ticket options. So then after talking to mom we decided we could just drop one of our F & W days (we had two) and split our last MK day with EP. So we can do 7 day tickets instead saving about $60.

So thanks to the 8 y/o we are spending about $90 more, but we will be able to do Blizzard Beach (which Audrey wants) and mini golf (which I want)

So since we will be able to without wasting money, is Disneyquest worth checking out when we go to DTD? I have read such mixed reviews, but hey, we don't have to buy extra tickets.....

ok we have decided on 8 day PH, Fun&more tickets

Haha! That's a sucker bet...of course there will be changes! There will always be changes!! I just changed a couple of things on our trip 12 days out! Now we're 8 days out and I think I'm good. I think. Probably.

Trish and Raina, your plans sound great. I hope they all work out for you and you get all the ADRs you want when the time comes. It will be here before you know it!
