[leamom2princesses]

I realized yesterday that we'll be out of town when I hit my 180 ADR mark. Lordy mercy!

I'd love to do a meet but we don't arrive until May 27th.

What are your plans for the 28th and 29th?

We totally should! Would be awesome! Lets figure out a day that works for everyone!

I agree!

Most of us are still there then so hopefully we can meet!

Yep....worst case we can do two meets!

I'm fine thank you ! Tired , busy, but fine !!!

Try to get some rest Rosie! Have a great weekend.

Just checking in to say "hi"!!! ADRs on Monday!!! Whoo hoo!!!!

Hi Becky! I know I have so much to figure out between now and Monday morning! Have you finalized your plans? Feel free to share.

The more meets the better I say! Are you going to post ur final ADR list on here??? I need help.

 

[racefanof88]

I'm all for a meet. I loved the meet in May and would really like to do one again. We are going to be there May 24th thru 30th. The 27th, 28th or 29th would be fine with me. I have 6 days before I can make my ADRs. Dallas wants to eat at Chef Mickey's,and Kona and I want Grand Floridian Cafe. He said he wanted to try 'Ohanas for dinner.

THANKS CONNIE

We love Ohana for dinner. I looked at the menu for the GF Cafe. It does look good. You should give Ohana dinner a try...might want to consider Tuesday night the 25th...

YAY!!! How fun!! We're looking at an early BBB appt. as well. We're wanting 6:30ish for 1900 Park Fare and the same for O'hana. Since we had 11 inches the day we were in AK last time we want as much time there as possible this trip.

Hi Becky! I noticed you have one park each day. Do you not have park hoppers? Do you make your ressies or does your TA? I don't know what time I need to be up to make my ADR's online. I'd rather do it online after the big goof last year with the girls BBB over the phone. One more day until ADR's!

No, we do not have park hoppers. I think it would be too hard with Claire as young as she is. We'll probably get them when the girls are a bit older. My TA makes all of our ressies for us--it is sooo nice!! I don't have to do a thing! Yes, I hope things work out like you want it for the BBB this year. It will be fun to be there together!!

 

[englishrose47]

All your adrs look great !!! I took the family to TE in Sept and the kids LOVED it!! The biggest hit of the trip!!! The onion volcano fascinated Kyle !!! I still have 1 more ressie to make for Feb. I have decided on Cape May for dinner !!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

All your meals sound great!

It really depends on the child and the family. It never bothered Josie or Lindsey to shuffle around but they are very "go with the flow" at WDW and can/could sleep in their stroller with no problems whatsoever. Josie especially has taken quite of few cat naps going from one park to another. A little power nap does wonders for her.

I tried to live without PH last year but realized very quickly that it just doesn't work for us. We like catching a favorite at one park and heading over to another to catch something else. It worked really well with the weather we had last May. Some of the key things we enjoy were rained out or cancelled and we were able to work it out later in the week in most cases. I can see how it wouldn't work for some families/children though. It's definitely not for everyone.


Yay for having a TA that makes your ressies! That's the only part of doing it on your own that stinks....it will be an early morning for me on Monday!

Thanks Rosie! Cape May was one that I was on the fence about. I think it would be fun but I don't know where to put it in my plan. I know the girls would love it though. My family loved TE in May. Definitely one of the highlights for us too. My little one still runs around say "thank you for your patience" and bowing. Too cute.

All your meals sound great!

Thanks Lessa!
