Jackie & Jonathan Do Harry Potter & Disney Dining Pre Trip Report

[jackieleanne]

Hey Everyone.

Yes my trip isnt for another 1 year 3 months and 3 weeks not to mention the 3days but what the hell I've finally been able to book again to go back to Mickey and I think if I didn't write my pretrip report now then Id start to depress myself even more about the fact that I should of been going this year and that when I go back next year it will be the longest ive even been without going to Orlando since our first trip back when I was 4.

Anyways enough of my ramblings here's some more about the trip:

I'm Jackie I'm 22 currently and will be 23 by the time of our trip and turn 24 when I'm out there. I am well and trully a disney fanatic and it is quite often that you will see me cry everytime I watch a disney film and that's as soon as the intro starts and I see the castle. I work for the Greater Manchester Chambers of Commerce. And live in Leigh currently with the parents but should be moving out in the next month or two. Although this will be my 10th Dinsey trip it will be my first onsite trip. Here is me on our last holiday to the mouse.

Also going along is my bf Jonathan we have been together for two and a half years now and are getting our first house together. Jonathan also loves Disney allthough he's always saying that he can never love it as much as I do. He's an electrical engineer and loves his cars. He's probably most looking forward to Harry Potter Land about the next trip as he's a huge fan but he also can't wait to get back on our fave ride Splash Mountain. This is Jonathan on our last trip, his first when I managed to convert him into a Disney World lover.

Coral Reef - dinner
Rose & Crown - dinner
Beaches & Cream lunch/dinner
Chef Mickeys - Dinner
Trails End - Dinner
Planet Hollywood Dinner
Le Cellier - Dinner

Those are probably all definite's although still unsure on Le Cellier :S I love my steak's but I'm not good with Sauces does anyone know if you can just ask for it without sauce or sauce on the side?

 

[PJB71]

Sounds like your plans are coming along

Cant wait to read more

 

[jackieleanne]

Going to scrap Le Cellier now that it's going to be a 2ts restaurant. Will have to think of something else to do.

May keep it so I dont have an adr until we get there and after weve done a place could always pick to go to a fave and book this when out there.

Flights are out soon can't wait to book the flights I've already got a lot of money saved up so just want to get that part booked now.

On other note's ill also be making a new trip report as I'm going to get to go this year after all booking today hopefully.

Hi Jackie

Just wondered if you had considered Teppan Edo instead of Le Cellier? Its still 1TS and Dave preferred the steak there then Le Cellier. Just an idea for you it is a very fun evening out we really enjoyed it

Oh hadn't thought of that as I don't like chinese food but if they do steak and it's being recommended I may look into that. Actually when we went to a chinese in southport for one of his family's birthday I absolutely loved the steak that they did for me. Thanks for your tip, think Jon would like it then as he get's to have something different.

[jackieleanne]

Awww no we are back on the 4th December. You get such a nice long break.

Don't call it chinese when you are there they get upset One lady on our table asked for special fried rice and he said that it was chinese and we were in Japan she looked shocked lol

I had chicken and steak was lovely served with rice and noodles onion and some thing else but I didnt have it I didnt like it cant remember what it was though

Defiantly give it some thought though we love Teppan Edo so much

 

[florida sun]

Lovely start, looking forward to hearing more

 

[jackieleanne]

OK so some huge changes made since I last posted!

Well we have booked our flights with Virgin flying Personal Economy for the first time so excited about that. Will be great to relax and enjoy some leg room, the extra bag, priority check in/board etc.

We are flying out on 23rd August from Manchester at 11am and returning on 10th September 20:25pm.

Also booked Loews Royal Pacific Resort for 3 nights from 23rd August to 26th when we will be checking in to SSR. Looking forward to trying this and also getting to enjoy benefits of the extra hour for Harry Potter Land and FOL access.

Will need to sort out a car now.
