Yep. I know what I am doing tonight at 8:30 now.

Me too!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Me three! Let's regroup online at 9pm to discuss.

Sounds like a great plan to me!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Me too!

You know, I'm working on my food budget and for the 2 of us to eat at Boma it's over $60! That's without a tip as well. Is it worth it? I can't decide. Especially since we can't gorge ourselves with our bands.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Ok... see you ladies at 9.

Tough call, LL. $60 is a lot if you don't think you can eat that much. You'd have to research as I'm not 100% confident but I could swear that I've read that people with the bands can get guest assistance cards that allow them to pay the kids price at the buffets. I hope I'm not imagining that.

CP or LL- are either of you going to try Harry Potter when you visit? The latest Orlando attractions magazine had quite a few pages devoted to it. I'm happy to send it along to either of you if you're interested.

I don't know what to do but I'm happy to report that I did FINALLY get a Le Cellier ADR. I'm so excited. I have heard about getting those guest assistance cards but I don't know if I want to go through the hassle, you know? Plus I don't know how that would make me feel having to give someone a card and letting them know I have a band. It's one thing to tell friends, another thing with strangers. I don't know. I'll think about it though.

No Universal this trip. I'm hoping our next trip we can sneak over there to check out the Harry Potter things.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Hurrah for Le Cellier. I got one for Oct too! Can't wait. I did just find out that you can get the cheddar soup and pretzel bread sticks to go. That's a neat tip if you ever can't get an ADR!

Perfectly understandable on the guest assistance card. I personally don't like buffets so Boma doesn't really appeal to me. I'd much prefer Jiko but everyone is different. For sure you will enjoy exploring around the Lodge!!

I can't believe you are 60 days away. And CP is 2 weeks or less! I am getting close to 90. Saying it that way makes me feel better than 3 months... that sounds way too long.

In-room Disney video from 1987. The outfits alone are entertaining!

Please refrain from telling me how old you were in 1987...

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, that's a tough call about Boma, LL, because we do tend to gorge ourselves when we are there. At least you have some time to think about it. Hurray for a Le Cellier ressie!!!

Do you really not want me to tell you how old I was in 1987??? It's probably right around the same age you were, C! Not heading to HP this trip -- maybe in a year or so.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I thought it was a cute special. Makes me want to be there, that is for sure. How many Mickey bars a year did they say? 2.8 million???

 

[Charleston Princess]

Something crazy like that! I am seriously craving one of those dipped and smothered giant oreos from Goofy's now! Plus, I think I need to get on the waiting list for membership at Club 33.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Why don't they have something like Club 33 in Orlando?? How cool would that be?

I've actually never been to Goofy's Candy Co. Can you imagine?? Have to fix that ASAP!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yes, you must head to Goofy's!!! They have the best stuff there!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I have to go to Goofy's, Main St Bakery, any stand for Mickey bar... what else? I thought they tried to draw attention to the less popular countries. They showed kids getting the candy creations in China but I thought she wasn't allowed to give those out anymore?

Still cool to watch and would give anything to be there tonight!
