I think I am going a little crazy ... UPDATED!!!! =)

[Tinkerbelle's Mom]

Tomorrow is my 90 day mark!

I have my carefully planned ADR list (reviewed and edited by fellow disers). We are trying the DxDDP this time.

I have already secured our CM breakfast and our CRT lunch. I am planning on being flexible and have other places chosen as 2nd and 3rd possibilities in case I cannot get our first choices.

Now here comes the crazy part, most nondis people think the above is where the craziness starts but what do they know , .....

I live in California. So this means my normal waking time is 3 HOURS behind the east coast. So I was thinking of getting up at 4am my time so I could call in at 7 am eastern time to make my ADRs.

Okay this is a new one even for me.... but hey I am very excited about our plan and on the DxDDP I am able to try a lot of places that we have never eatn at.

So on the "Obessive Disney Vacation Planner Scale" how crazy does this sound?

I think it's awesome and would be doing the exact same thing!! Good luck getting all of the ones you want!

IMO, not early enough. The phones open at 7am ET, you don't want to be just waking up then. Get up at 3:45 PT.

I'd suggest just staying up until 4 AM, and then go to bed after you call.

Good idea but... I need to be well rested to rush the CM... to make sure we get all our favs. Plus if I stay up I may... too much!

Well after getting up at 3:50 (3:45 seemed a little too early ) and sitting down at my kitchen table that had been set up with my lists and memo pad before I went to sleep I anxiously reviewed my list.

I prepared myself to not get everything I wanted - which is okay sometimes that leads to new adventures afterall!!

Well at exactly 4am my time, 7am eastern, I call in and get a wonderful CM.

I start with the ever coveted Le Cellier, fully prepared for her to tell me they are full. Well guess what... she didn't!! WHO WHOO!! I secured an ADR there for the night we are going to see Illuminations! Yeah off to a good start.

It only got better from there. Every resturant I wanted at every time I wanted was available.

Our list includes:

Tusker House
Boma (2x we are staying at AKL)
Coral Reef
Garden Grill
Ohana
LTT
WCC
PSB
Le Cellier
CP
PLaza Inn
BBB (for my dd before CRT)
CRT
1900 PF
CM

I stayed away from the signature and more adult resturant because I am traveling with two kids who are picky eaters. I did not want to waste time and $$ on resturants where they would not eat anything. This list is comprised of resturants that I think will be fun but also serve someting that both kids will eat.

So in the end my craziness paid off!

My family is still looking at me like:

You have a great list! Congrats on getting exactly what you wanted!

I know your family and friends might seen it crazy, but it really is a huge victory.
