January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part I !!!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hi Shelly! Can you believe we're under 21 weeks now? Time is going to go so fast!

YAY !!

 

[trixiequilts]

I am so excited, I got my maps ordered!!!

I should look into that...I don't know very much about it. Aren't they customizable or something? Was it hard to do?

Did you ever say where you live? I know it's close to Detroit and Ypsie and all, but I can't remember!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I am so excited, I got my maps ordered!!!

YAY for the maps!! I haven't ordered any recently. I'll have to check and see if it has been 6 months yet, it may be time for a new set! I don't take them to the parks because they are so big, but they are a nice keepsake!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Trixie, you are ordering your maps right now, aren't you???!!!

 

[Monny2AE]

My dh's birthday is during our visit. Anyone have any suggestions for a nice yet reasonably priced place for dinner? Our fave place was Alfredo's- we went there on our honeymoon- and now it's gone.

Actually, believe it or not, no! You know me so well to think I'd just run right over there and do that!

Have you decided about the DDP yet???

I don't really think that there are any reasonably priced TS restaurants at WDW!

We like Mama Melrose and LeCellier, and Coral Reef was good too. Those would be more for adults, although we take our kids to them all!

If you go to Crystal Palace they will make a big deal of his birthday and it is a lot of fun!! They made our anniversary very special!

I thought for sure that's where you disappeared to!!

I am so excited to finally be able to make my last ADR Sunday!!

I sure hope that info is correct!! I'm afraid I will call and be given a different answer about when we can make ADR's for Jan 26th and after. . . .

Just confirmed with another CM (Beverly), ADRs for Jan 26th-Feb 22nd can be made as of 8/31/2008.

That is so great!! Thank you so much for letting us all know! If I had waited until October to call I'm sure I wouldn't get what I wanted.

Ah the wonderous maps!! If you go to disneyworld.com you should find the link for them. They are customizable. You can pick your favorites for each park. I did restaurants where our ADRs are and our must-do rides. Then you can print them at home and order them. I highly suggest ordering them, too. They come looking like a real map, on nice thick paper. They take 2-4 weeks to deliver so I wanted to make sure I got mine done wth plenty of time. I agree that they are too big and nice to take with us, but they make an awesome and oh yeah FREE keepsake!!! And Trixie, I think I did answer you, but who knows I am in Dearborn, right outside Detroit. It's nice you have family in Ypsi so you have a 10-15 minute ride to the airport. We are lucky in that aspect, too. Have fun with the map building!!

Just ordered my maps!!

I guess it had been over 6 months since I ordered them the last time!!

Still looking at the QSDDP- we are on a major budget while we are there. I was looking at the Coral Reef or LeCellier possibly. Yeah I guess I'm crazy asking about something being reasonably priced at WDW- I just meant reasonably priced like not V&A and having to wear dressy clothes. We are going to breakfast at Crystal Palace- hopefully on his actual bday! We went there on our honeymoon and they made a heart on the table out of Mickey confetti for us- it was so sweet!


And ooh I need to check if I can order maps yet!!! Thanks for the reminder!

Now that you say Dearborn, it does ring a bell. I'm having such a hard time remembering everyone's info! But I've got it now.

Not a problem. Hubby and I were just being paranoid and checking our ADRs when the CM notified us of the change yesterday. We called back again to double check and my Husband just called about 30 minutes ago (triple check!). We sure hope the information is accurate or we’ll be on hold for a loooong time early Sunday for nothing!
