James' First Visit! A Sept 2010 PTR - We haven't been in 10 years!

[YukiPhnx]

Well, you've still got plenty of time to switch dates around.

 

[ipodluvr287]

Yes! There is one on the 21st! Hurrah! We'll probably buy the tickets soon!

Me and my sister have just decided what we are going to get our mom for Mother's Day! We want to get her a pearl and a setting from the Pick-A-Pearl in the Japan Pavillion at EPCOT. I had no idea this even existed until I read about it a few hours ago on the DIS. I asked her what she thought about it and she said she didn't mind waiting till September for it if it was going to be something this great. Me and my sister might get ourselves a pearl and a setting also while we're there

 

[YukiPhnx]

Awww, that sounds like a great gift! I've been thinking of getting the same thing myself when I get there

 

[ipodluvr287]

I know. It sounds like a lot of fun and the pics I've seen are wonderful! Anyway, tomorrow morning very early at 4:30 AM my little sister and her chorus are leaving for WDW so they can sing there during Magic Music Days. I hope she has a great time. She'll be back on Sunday night. She said she'd buy me a tshirt! Woop

Well guys, my sister just returned from a trip at WDW with her middle school chorus and she told me on Friday morning they performed at Saratoga Springs in front of judges and Saturday Night they got the award for best all around choir and numerous other awards at a special ceremony at the Indiana Jones Stunt Show theater. She said they had a great time and she even got me cute tshirt that has Walt and Mickey holding hands while walking up Main Street and at the bottom it says Main Street U.S.A The Magic Kingdom and it has the castle and fireworks in the background. Its beautiful!

So guys, lately I have been bored and have been messing around with a hardcore itinerary. A lot of thinking and hard work have gone into this. It's not done yet, but I'm sure it will probably be finished by early-mid June b/c I'll probably change it around a lot between now and then. I'll post it here as soon as its done.

 

[YukiPhnx]

Ooooh, time to get hardcore!

I remember I got hardcore as soon as the hours came out. But before that, I already had a tentative one based on the hours that HAD come out.

Ha As soon as park hours came out for September I decided what park on which day and what restaurants. I had everything all set and thank the Lord park hours haven't changed for any of the days I'll be there and the MNSSHP date I picked turned out to be a party date, so I'm thrilled. They better not change any park hours between now and then or I'll probably start freaking out. Hahaha

 

[ipodluvr287]

The itinerary is going well. I'm not done yet, but probably will be soon. But, what I wanted to tell you lovely people was that I signed up for the Disney Parks text messaging updates! When you arrive for your vacation they will send you texts each day with park hours, and you can request ride times and character meet times! It sounds cool! I'm getting excited! About 3 and a half months to go!

I'm here! Can't wait to read more! It sounds like you guys are going to have a great trip!

Hi,

I'm joining.

The Disney Parks text messages sound pretty awesome. I've not read about that. Looks like I should give it a try.

Have fun planning!

 

[Belle_princess]

Hi!
I'm here! I'll be in WDW nearly the same time as you (I'm going from Sept 21- Sept 29). If my plan stays the same, you and I will both be at DHS on the same day.

I can't wait to hear more about your plans!!

Thanks for following everyone! Can't wait to see you there Belle_Princess!

Okay, now for a short update. I have been hard at work on the itinerary and it is coming along well. Hopefully, it will be all done soon and I'll post it in here. I have also come along a WDW Ultimate Paking List somewhere on the internet and saved it to my computer and it is really good! I'm currently finishing up my finals at school, so I probably won't be on here again until the weekend. (Friday is my last day of school this year! ) Also, I will be at the beach from June 7-12th, so no posts then either, but inbetween now and then hopefully I'll get a few posts on here

QUESTION: Has anyone here been to Tony's Town Square or Coral Reef Restaraunt before? I would like to hear more about them!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

We have been to both Tony's and Coral Reef.

I believe that we are probably in the minority, but we did not have a good experience at Coral Reef. We were there for our wedding anniversary and the service was absolutely the worst service we have had in all of our trips to Disney. The food was okay but honestly, DH won't even consider going back there. I'd probably give it another chance, but I can't talk him into it.

Tony's was okay. We went there a couple of years ago. I thought the food was pretty good. I think it get's a bad rap at times in reviews. We'd go back there again.

Thanks for the insight! Anyone else?

Ohio, you aren't alone. I went to Coral Reef in 2002, and I wasn't terribly impressed. It wasn't all it was cracked up to be! The food was decent, but I would not give it the raving reviews everyone else tends to give it!

I found Tony's to be better! I like the atmosphere and the food. I've eaten there twice! Both times were fantastic! Give it a try- I'd say it is worth it!

Hello Everyone! I'm back from the beach and I had a great time. It was NICE! Just thought I'd let you guys know b/c you probably think I've fallen off the face of the earth haha I've got a few minor adjustments left on the itinerary and then it shall be posted. It might take about another week because I've been really busy with volleyball practices. I hope you guys are having a great summer!

 

[ipodluvr287]

Ok guys, I'm trying to work transportation time into the itinerary/schedule. Do you guys think its faster/more convenient to take Disney buses everywhere or drive your own car?
