It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

[Princesskeyblade]

I know. I am really worried about this cruise thing, my mom just got back and she didn't enjoy it all that much. We are very similar so now I am worried I am not going to enjoy as much as I hope. I am very much looking forward to relaxing though!

Try and keep focusing on the relaxing I know it is easier said than typed.

 

[willwriteforears]

Well I would hope you wouldn't miss me while you are on your honeymoon.

Now that I have found this board, thanks to LL, I am getting the urge to book another Disney trip. Maybe a vow renewal next year for our 25th anniversary.

Aww, that'd be sweet!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I was worried I would hate cruising but I positively fell in love with it. Don't worry too much, as alike as you are, you're still a totally different person than your momma!

I know. I am just afraid I am going to bored, which seems unlikely on a cruise. WDW is my kinda vaca cause you can be on the go!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Okay. I am completely foolish.

I was waiting for DF to come back from giving me his CC for my gas purchase tomorrow and I realized I was missing a guest's last name for the seating chart Urgh. So me being semi touched in the brain, I put the top of the guest list in my mouth. Yep. In my mouth. I don't know. Don't ask. I'm a toddler who puts things in my mouth. I do it all the time. LL's secret shame. So yah. Now no one wants to go to Lapu Lapu Fabby Fest with LL.

Moving on. Top of guest list in my mouth. DF comes in, laughs at me and I yank it out. I pull half of my bottom lip away with it aka the top layer of skin and now I am bleeding. Profusely. So much I got blood on my t-shirt. I think I need to step away from the seating chart.

Ouch.

That sounds like it hurts a lot...

Of course I still want to go to Lapu Lapu Fabby Fest with you LL.. That is not weird to me at all....

However I do agree that you need to step away from the chart!

I'm a weirdo. Oh well. I only do it in the privacy of my own home.
It's stopped bleeding now. DF just laughed at me, I would have laughed at him too.
I've officially stepped away from the seating chart. I have three birds to print and cut out and one left to do entirely. I can finish it tomorrow.

I am trying to convince DF that we should go for ten days.

I have to tell you that going for 10 days gives you lots of time for park stuff.

I am off to bed... Have a great night... Chat with you tomorrow!

Well I must say that I never bleed over my seating chart

I missed the whole cruise discussion (and I'm too lazy to go back and read) but I did catch that you think you'd be bored. Well let me tell ya...I bring a highlighter with me so I can mark all the things I want to do on the daily schedule. (I average about 5 hours of sleep a night on a cruise because there is so much I want to do)

I also bring a highlighter when I cruise. My DH and kids think I'm nuts but it helps alot. The print on the daily schedules can be small.

Our first trip with the kids in 1994 was 10 glorious days at the Poly. There were less parks but we managed to fill everyday with activities and relaxation. It was the best.

I know, I am a special kind of person.

That's a good idea!

I think I will, I am sure DF will think I am crazy.

I think we are going to try to stay at the Poly. That is, if I don't feel guilty about spending all that money.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I know I have posted my ADR's in the mega itinerary but I think these little gems deserve the very own list! I even put possible dining selections for myself. As well as some for DF, because we will be sharing. I am using the menus of allears.net for reference. I am sure they will probably change, so again...possible selections.

The ADR's

Day 1 - Saturday August 30th - Rose & Crown Pub @ 8PM(DxDP)

I can't wait for Rose & Crown, this was the very first ADR that I fully decided upon. We are hoping to get an outside table for Illuminations but I won't cry if we don't. It seems that they will let you go outside to watch even if you are inside.​

Possible Dining Selections:​

Appetizer for LL : Rose & Crown Cheese Plate or Roasted Mushrooms. DF : ??​

Entree for LL : Fish & Chips (these are the whole reason I booked this...yuuum. Entree for DF : ??​

Dessert for LL : Sticky Toffee Pudding. DF : ?? Yeah, I know, I have no "sharing" preferences for DF. Of course, if he doesn't agree with my sharing ideas at anytime he will order what he wants. ​

Day 2 - Sunday August 31st - Crystal Palace @ 8:20AM (DxDP)

I admit, I am going here mainly for almost empy park pictures in front of the Castle. Plus I think it would be awesome to be able to stroll down Main Street without hordes of people. Of course we will be doing buffett which is pretty self explanatory.​

Artist Point @ 5:30PM (DxDP)

I am really excited about Artist Point, orginally we had California Grill booked for this night but I decided I wanted to wait for a future trip. It will also be our first glimpse of the Wilderness Lodge and I am sure it will get us even more excitd for our stay later in the week. I am also excited about dressing up for dinner and then taking some time to explore the Polynesian Resort after dinner and the Electrical Water Pageant. ​

Possible Dining Selections:​

Appetizers: Ideally DF and I would share the Crispy Venison Spring Rolls. The Duck Confit is also calling my name but I will leave the second selection up to DF, cause I am nice like that.​

Entrees: I am really torn between the Buffalo and the Salmon. I think those are what DF are leaning towards as well.​

Desserts: Again I am torn, between the cobbler and the warm heirloom apple tart. Who knows what DF will get.​

Day 3 - Monday September 1st - Coral Reef @ 11:30AM (DxDP)

I have wanted to eat here since my Full House days, a dream coming true! I have been trying to reach Debbie @ Coral Reef to arrange for the diver and personalized menus but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. It's been about a week too, I will just have to be more patient. I want to do it as a surprise for DF.​

Appetizers : CREAMY LOBSTER SOUP!! CREAMY LOBSTER SOUP!! I think that is what both of us will order.​

Entrees: I want the Lobster Salad. I saw a picture of this and it looks like a little slice of heaven. I know being from Maine, it's a little ironic to order lobster while at WDW but I love it. DF has been eyeing the Blackend Catfish.​

Desserts: The Chocolate Wave for LL and DF is up in the air.​

Brown Derby/Fantasmic Package @ 5:10PM (DxDP)

Brown Derby was another quick decision as far as ADR's go. I am really looking forward to it.​

Appetizers: Cobb Salad, I mean what else would we get on our first trip to Brown Derby?​

Entrees: Brown Derby is one place where I just can't decide it all seems yummy, I think it's going to be one of those last minute decisions. I am sure some would argue that all dining decisons should be last minute but alas the wonder of planning 180 days out!​

Desserts: I want to try the Grapefruit Cake. Has anyone out there tried it? Is it really really strong? I don't like to eat grapefruit but don't mind grapefruit flavoring if that makes sense. I think DF wants the creme brulee but I can't remember and if I ask him he will look at me like I am nuts.​

Day Four - Tuesday September 2nd - Les Chefs des France (DxDP)
Note: We will be partaking in a CS lunch either at Pop or Animal Kingdom.

Having dinner at LCDF was a more recent change after drooling over the food porn thread and reading some reviews.​

Appetizers: I think I want Tarte a la Flame Alsacienne, translation flatbread baked with cream fraiche, onion and bacon. Not sure though, there is Bisque de Homard/LOBSTER BISQUE on the menu and it might be hard to resisit. DF has expressed much interest in the Soupe a l'oignon gratinee/Onion Soup.​

Entrees: I am leaning towards teh Gratin de macaroni but I think it is going to be one of those whatever appeals to me most at the moment. I have no idea what DF will order. As you can see he doesn't like to play the what will we eat 2 months from now game with LL.​

Desserts: I will be partaking in the Crepe a la pome et cannelle, glace vanille, caramel jus de pommes. Mmmm. Again, DF?​

That concludes the first four days, to be continued....

 

[Princesskeyblade]

Now I am really Hungry!!!!

I am really looking forward to seeing how you enjoy Les Chefs de France. Especially since we are there a little bit after you!

I really hope we like it. I can't even remember what we canceled to eat here. That ADR has gone to happy placed where all canceled ADR's go.

Not going to hijack, because the R&C and Illuminations are SO going in my TR, but you will love this. And when we were there, we were outside and there were people who were allowed to stand next to us--they weren't eating so didn't get a table. But their presence means you definitely shouldn't have any problems getting outside. ​

Yayayaya! I am eagerly awaiting an update on your TR!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Back to our regular ramblings...

Day 5 - Wednesday September 3rd - Kona Cafe @ 10AM (OOP)

Note: We will probably pay out of pocket for Kona instead of using a DxDP credit. This is the day we are checking into WL and I think we are planning to do a CS at WL or at one of the other parks.​

I am going to have the Macadamia Pineapple Pancakes and DF is going to have Tonga Toast, so I can nibble. I think DF wants to try the press coffee pot and I might indulge in a mimosa, it will be my birthady afterall!​

Cinderella's Royal Table @ 8PM (DxDP)

I can't wait! This is the holy grail of LL's WDW trip. ​

Appetizers: I am going to have Corn and Crab Soup with sour cream and chive. Mmmmm, I have read wonderful things about this and I plan to indugle in it. I think DF is ordering the Vegetable Spring Roll or the soup along with me.​

Entrees: I am torn between the Prime Rib or the Lemon Lavendar Chicken. Mmmmm. I have no idea what DF wants.​

Dessert: Chocolate Cream Cheese Buckle! Or if DF gets the hint I sent him via email (the numbers for the bakeries at WDW) maybe a birthday cake! ​

Day 6 - Thursday September 4th - Le Cellier @ 8:05PM (DDP)

I have been wishy washy about Le Cellier from the beginning but after reading alan_renfroe's review of it and TK's insistance, I am sticking to it!​

Appetizer: As we will be on the regular dining plan at this time, we will be paying for apps out of pocked. Even so, I think we would both like to try the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup.​

Entrees: I think I will be going with the Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon and I bet ya that DF will too.​

Desserts: No Idea.​

Day 7 - Friday September 5th - 1900 Park Fare @ 9:55AM (DDP)

Mary Poppins! Again, another breakfast buffet so nothing fun to report except I am hoping to try the strawberry soup thingy.​

Kona Cafe @ 5PM (DDP)

We canceled 50's Prime Time Cafe so we could partake in the most delish Kona Cafe.​

Appetizers: I am so paying for the STICKY WINGS out of pocket. I am brainwashing DF to order the Lump Crab Cakes so we can share.​

Entrees: I absolutely want to try EVERYTHING on the menu so it's a toss up to what I will pick. I am starting to drool.

Dessert: I am torn between the Chocolate Macadamia Nut Tart or the Kona Kone.​

There you have it. The complete list of ADR's that will not be changed again. I, LL, vow not to change these ADR's before my trip. I reserve the right to cancel/tweak while on vacation.
