I'm thankful for...MICKEY!!! My Thanksgiving '08 TR!: TR Update, Last Day!

Okay, now I just have to talk to DH about the dining plan. Money is going to be the big factor with him.

If only I knew how to make a spreadsheet, I would whip one up to show him the benefits of the dining plan. (Engineers (especially my engineer) love spreadsheets!)

I just got a nice raise at work today, so that should help!

Well, here's an example of your Magic Kingdom day:

Dole Whip Float: $3.99
Lunch at Columbia Harbor House: We'll pretend you are having the Anchors Aweigh Sandwich $6.69, a Coke $2.09, and they include dessert so you are going to get the apple crisp, $3.59
Dinner at Crystal Palace: $28.99
Tax of 7% on all your food for the day: $3.17
Total: $48.52

Dining Plan Per Day: $38.99 or $37.99 so it's already a deal. Plus on days that you do a regular sit down instead of a buffet, the savings would be even more sustantial.

Is the Teppan Edo recommendation foreshadowing what's the come in your tr? Hmmm....

Sure is! :goodvibes
 
You can all order different things and try a little of each, like your own private buffet.

Or you can do buffet and family style meals.

It's nice to be able to order whatever you want, even though you may not eat it all. Just save room for dessert!

Given the choice, I would eat dessert rather than a meal 6 out of 7 days a week! :rotfl:

Even better than a spreadsheet! Thank you so very much!!! :goodvibes
 

Good luck!!! :goodvibes

And congratulations on your raise -- in my rush to help you spend it, I forgot to type it! :laughing:

And yes, Teppan Edo is just one credit.

Thank you!

Good luck!!!

Thank you!

I talked to DH about the dining plan and he told me to decide. So I'm going to ask my mom if she and my dad want to do it. If they do, then we'll do it. If not, we won't do it. I think that if DH and I were the only ones on the plan, we'd either be splitting off from the rest of the group a lot or we'd be dragging them with us to TS restaurants a lot. So I'll feel better if there are 4 of us.

I'll let you know what happens!

I agree that 4 out of 6 people on the plan is better than just 2 people.

Can't wait to see the dining plan verdict :surfweb:
 
Hey just getting all up to date. Do you have a verdict on the Dining Plan? Personally I love it but DH and I always have a sit down dinner so it works out best for us. I am actually trying to decide if we are going to do the Deluxe or the regular plan. we are thinking that b/c DH wants to do some 2 credit meals and the deluxe would work out well for that. Anyhoo keep us updated!!!

BTW I started a Pre-Trip report!!!!

Let's start with the ugly.

I dropped my cell phone in the toilet today. My phone is only 2 months old. My phone was purchased as a replacement for my old phone, which I also dropped in a toilet. (it's okay, you can laugh.) As I stood up from the toilet, my phone fell out of my pocket into the toilet. I was wearing the same shorts both times. I guess these shorts do not have appropriate pockets for cell phone holding.

When I got the new phone, I told myself that I would not carry it in my pocket because I did not want it to meet the same fate as my old phone. However, the new phone had a super cool pedometer feature and needed to be in my pocket to record my steps. Therefore, I carried it in my pocket. And dropped it in the toilet.

Now for the good.

I have a 4 year old phone which will accept my SIM card. So I do have a phone to use. But 4 years in cell phone years is like 320 human years. So that phone is kind of a dinosaur. But at least I have a phone. :rolleyes:

And now, the bad.

My mom said she and my dad do not wish to do the dining plan. So I've decided that DH and I will not do it either. I will, however, make a couple more TS reservations for us with the option of canceling if we so choose. To be perfectly honest, I am a little bit relieved to not have to stick to a dining schedule throughout the trip. But I started to get so excited last night about the thought of all that delicious food. So I guess I have mixed feelings about this.

On a happy note, DH and I had our trees and bushes and shrubs professionally trimmed today and our yard looks AWESOME!!! :yay:

okay, so I'm just trying to cheer myself up by focusing on the yard. I gotta try to think of something positive today!

Awww I'm so sorry to hear about your phone. That stinks. But at least you have a one to use :thumbsup2

4 years in cell phone years is 320 human years :lmao:

And sorry about the dining plan. Maybe when you take a trip to WDW with just your DH you can try the dining plan. This will give you an excuse to plan another trip.

Take pics of your yard!!!
 
That stinks about your phone! But at least you have a backup to tide you over until you can get a new one.

I agree with Jen--maybe you and DH can plan to do the dining plan for a future trip. Incentive to return to the World! :thumbsup2
 
The Dining Plan Quandry.

I'm there right now as I think about my next trip.

You are so right Jessica. Being tied to your ADRs can sometimes be a daunting task. Maybe it's better to have more flexibility in your schedule.

I agree pictures of the yard would be nice.

What did you have a Sweet Ts the other night?
