It's my Birthday & I Celebrated! Lots of photos, food and fun! Updated 9/23

Yay!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

Yeah! Others are excited!

I really cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to this trip! To be able to spend time with my Best Friend whom I've seen a grand total of like 4 days in the last 10 years!

And this time we will have 5 days so that beats all the previous time!

It is also so nice to be planning meals and not relying on free breakfast (although I will miss that!) for my primary nutrition.

I have so many restaurants I want to eat at. The trip report when I come back is going to have some Food Porn!!

Jumping on board! Great pre-trippie! Can't wait to hear all about your adventures with your friend!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Ummmmmmm, Food Porn!!

Thanks for coming aboard!
I can't wait for the adventures with my friend. Is it June yet!?!?

Ummmmmmm, Food Porn!!

Yum Yum Yum! I'm so excited to be able to eat more of what look like yummy choices! (Last trip I had $120 spending money total!)

I'm thinking of having my Birthday Dinner at Catal! The choices look yummy to me and I'm hoping for the Patina Group Certificate to save $30 for my birthday.


--------

3 weeks from right this moment! I WILL be at Minnie's and friends Breakfast!!!

I had so much fun last time and it will be even more fun with my friend!

(This thread needed a few more pictures!)
You can see my prior trip report for even more pics if you are interested!

It would probably be helpful if I actually made the reservation for the above mentioned meal but I am trying to get all my meals planned out so I can make ONE phone call!

Just thought it was funny that you are saying, "Exactly 3 weeks from this moment I will be..." and today I am saying, "Exactly 3 weeks ago from this moment I was..." It comes and goes too quickly!

I think time slows down as you approach a trip and then once there it speeds way up and then returns to normal speed once back home.

Morning Everyone! I am SOOOOOO VERY EXCITED about the Little Mermaid Fast Passes for guests staying on-site! I KNEW there was a reason I wanted to splurge for on-site for this trip! I swear those FP are gonna be like GOLD!!
I wonder if it will be one for Little Mermaid and one for Star Tours or if you can use both for Little Mermaid??? I am still undecided if I will try Star Tours. Motion Sickness is not something I want to deal with on the trip.

I wish it was 2 FP per day of your stay... it makes me want to break up my reservation into multiple reservations to get more! (Or I've thought about adding names to my reservation and pretending we have more people lol)

On less exciting news I have a Migraine I can't get to go away. It started several hours while I was at work and despite meds isn't going away....

 

[kaoden39]

I get migraines so I am sorry to hear that you have one. I hope you feel better.

I've been getting migraines for a very long time. Sometimes as often as 3-4 times a week. This is the first bad one in awhile. Normally I go to sleep to get over them but my hubby has a bad cold and is still in bed so I don't want to go to bed till he gets up... make any sense? lol

Makes total sense to me.

So I talked to my friend yesterday (or maybe the day before?!?!) about whether or not I should put her allergies on our reservation. She said that it's not a matter of avoiding them altogether but to find a balance and it all depends on what else she has eaten.

So with that I went ahead and officially made some more reservations. So here are the CURRENT plans! (Always subject to change!)

Monday June 6th.
Something small at PCH
Dinner at Goofy's Kitchen at 5pm. (Have to start out with a character meal!)

Tuesday June 7th
10am Minnie's at the Plaza


Wednesday June 8th
6pm Dinner at Ariel's Grotto for WoC

Thursday June 9th
Noon Carnation Cafe
6pm Cafe Orleans

Friday June 10th
7am Surf's Up! (Will chance to Saturday if friend gets a later flight but not likely at this point)
1:30pm Big Thunder Ranch BBQ

Gaps to be filled in by the following as wanted/needed/nearby

I definitely want to try these:
Bengal BBQ
Hungry Bear
Tangaroa Terrace
Troubadour Tavern
Village Haus

These if we are nearby when Hungry and sound good:
Wine Country Trattoria
Pacific Wharf area restuarants
PCH Grill
Naples
Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen
Tortilla Jo's

You have a good planned schedule for each of these different restaurants during your visit. On one of those days that you don't have a planned restaurant, I would try out Hungry Bear restaurant since they renovated it just a while ago.

 

[kaoden39]

Ooh great plans.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Your plans sound delicious!!!

Trying to make the decisions makes me hungry!!!

It's funny how similar our plans are. I'm also starting my trip with dinner at Goofy's Kitchen and we have that Minnie's Breakfast on the same day. I'm finishing my trip with Surf's Up before my noon flight home... We are going to have so much food porn to post when we get back! (And lots of great character pictures too - I'm doing every character meal except Storyteller's and I did that one last time anyway...)

I think I am going to fit Storyteller's in there somewhere. Probably on one of my solo days.

The only one I don't plan on doing is Ariel's Character Meal. I have it for a WoC dinner but I just don't think the character meal would be worth my $$. Its great for those with little princesses but I don't think for me. I will however go to PFF to meet some Princesses!

 

[deejdigsdis]

Yes, definitely try Hungry Bear! If you can get a seat by the water while the Mark Twain sails by...

I wanted to try Troubadour Tavern my last few trip, but we were never in that area during meal time. Someday...

A lot of the food sounds good. Thankfully with so many days I will have time to try lots of options! We will have to wait and see which places end up in the TR though!

 

[smile4stamps]

TWO WEEKS to go!

So I was able to get someone to work for me the day we fly down so instead of getting off work at 7:30am on Monday and then going almost right to the airport I will be getting off on Sunday at 7:30 and therefor can get a regular night sleep before heading down!

I shared with my friend the plan to try and do the Parade, Dinner, and then Fantasmic and she said it sounded good!

She said she is starting to get really excited! She said she was stressed out with work and stuff but now that it is getting closer and her school year is almost done she is getting excited to go!
