He said we could go back. October Anniversary trip!

[Jenjulia]

Great! I'm so happy for you because I know how much you wanted Ohana for your anniversary. I can't wait to read your trip report and hear what you thought of your dining choices.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

great dining ADR's...
is the Tusker House character dining???
if you're not sure about Playhouse disney dining what about Chip & Dale or the Tusker House w/Donald...just thoughts or what about princesses is Madeline into the Princesses yet??? I know Ashton would love the Playhouse dining...another thought is to pick up a DVD w/JoJo and Einstiens???

Ok got the Plaza but not exactly the time I wanted. Who knew THAT would be the hardest one to get into. lol

so...do you have (ADR's)everything now??? is that part of the planning complete?

I'm happy you were able to get all that you wanted to!

Yes my ADR's are done. Well we'll need to cancel some of them but I'm not going to worry about that just yet.

What I am stressing about a little is Madeline really wants to go to the Space Center. We have 2 non park days- tuesday and Friday. I was planning on just relaxing those days. If we go one of them that will be 4 days in a row out at a park. Not sure if we can handle that.

 

[crocko]

Yay! Glad you got your ADR's scheduled!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Maybe plan the space center in the beginning of the week; so, you will still have the later part of the week for a relaxing day--sounds like a fun day trip

but, remember you can always relax when you get home
that way you can keep having adventures

Thanks! We've been so busy haven't had much time to think about our Disney trip.

BUT I think we just decided to do Mickey's Halloween party instead of Ohana on our anniversary. I'm so excited. I just have to order the tickets. I wish they werent' so expensive though. YIKES! If we were there earlier in the month we could get an AP discount. I hope she loves it.

So we'll get 3 MK days instead of 2. I've read that they let you in at 4pm with your party tickets. I hope that's true!

 

[crocko]

4pm for MNSSHP ticket sounds right to me.

Yay for more MK time!!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

on the Halloween Party!!!
are you going to dress up?? other PTR's some are talking about costumes;
sounds fun!!
Have a great day!! glad to hear from you

 

[chicagoshannon]

Madeline will dress up. I"m not sure if Eric and I will. We'll see. We're not really costume people. Here is our new schedule:

Oct 18 arrive and dinner at Chef Mickey's
Oct 19 DHS- breakfast scheduled for Hollywood and Dine (or whatever it's called)
Oct 20- MNSSHP
Oct 21- Magic Kingdom- breakfast scheduled for Crystal Palace might need to cancel
Oct 22- AK breakfast scheduled for Tusker house
Oct 23- our anniversary... off day up in the air now.
Oct 24 Magic Kingdom- have Plaza ADR

I decided to go with the pary on Tuesday because the tickets were cheaper and figured that hopefully it wouldn't be as busy as a Friday night.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

sounds like a well planned trip! are ya'll skipping Epcot or just havent decided yet?
Have a great day!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Hi Shannon! It's been a busy summer and I have had very little time on the boards. I think your plan looks great. Halloween is so fun when the kids are Madeline's age. Do you know what you might dress her up as?

 

[my2disneyboys]

Your plans sound GREAT! I read Tuesday was the best night for the party- lowest crowds!! You will have a great time I cant wait to see pics.

 

[chicagoshannon]

We might go on either DHS day or AK day. We haven't decided. I know Madeline wants to ride Nemo so we'll see.

I have an Alice in Wonderland costume so maybe that.

Oh that's good to hear.

That is so funny you said that. I just saw someone's hot air balloon pics, and I'm thinking about going up the night of our anniversary, after our dinner at Cali Grill. I'm a little chicken about heights, though, but what an awesome experience that would be!

 

[chicagoshannon]

Ok, so a lot of you know that Madeline and I will be joining my parents in Feb. 2010 in Disney for another trip. We were thinking of going towards the end of the month BUT looked at prices today and decided on Feb 6-12. We will add on one of the Disney dining plans most likely (not sure which one yet).

We havent' decided on a hotel but our choices so far are:
Wilderness Lodge (1 room)
Coronado Springs (1 room)
Pop Century (2 rooms)

As much as I'd love to stay in the Wilderness Lodge or CS we're leaning slightly more towards POP. We would request connecting rooms king/dbl dbl.

Hopefully we'll have something booked by the end of this week. My mom needs to discuss things with my dad first. LOL

 

[longing2Batdisney]

can't wait to hear where ya'll decide to stay
we are between the POP and CSR ourselves!!! for next year
we still don't and won't have a date for a few months

wish we were able to go in the beginning of Feb/unable to because of school...

Have a great day!!
