Last time my BIL did it, he is from FL, and a huge disney fan.
I wish he was coming with us!
Open to any suggestions,and tips from all.

Looks good to me!

I hope the good news about LTT means I can book this on my ADR day with no problems
I am going to be the one up early trying online and then hopefully not having to call in... We are on the deluxe so I have alot of ressies to make... next task is to confirm my itinerary and then planmy booking order, most important to least important. Problem is I still can't nail down my park days

I am also stressing over the pool being closed during my time there. How disappointing !!!

I'm having trouble with the park days too...don't stress too much. It is a shame about the pool.

anyone ever do the Mickey Welcome package from Disney Florist ? It doesnt have the price on there but I seem to remember it was 300??? If you did it was it worth it ?

I'd love to do the welcome package but probably never will because of the expense. Plus it only comes with 1 of everything and I have 2 kids I could imagine the fights over that huge Mickey!

We've done CP for breakfast twice now and it's been great. It does take the characters a while to get around to everyone so we ate slowly last time I think it may have had something to do with the renovations though- making it hard on the characters to get around as fast.

 

[PEANUT1]

We're going to be there Jan. 3rd - Jan. 10th!!

We went last year Jan 10th - 17th and it was actually fairly crowded for that time in January --- we're hoping that the 3rd through the 10th will be a little less crowded! I guess we'll see!!

thats funny..cause we went early Jan last year (arrived Jan5) and we thought it was really crowded til our last day or two and we we are hoping that if we go a little later (jan 8th) that it will be less crowded.we'll see The Marathon is the 7th so that affects things a little. We need a room on the 8th before we checkl into the treehouses at SSR on the 9th and the rooms at disney are so high because of the marathon that we are thinking of staying offsite for this one night. We got a price of 150$ at Coronado Springs..there are no discounts that day becauset hey are blacked out!! ugh. I am trying not to stress about crowds this time...it seems that there is never a quiet time to go anymore.

Looks good..we didn't get our fantasmic dinner package either at HS..All they had available is Hollywood and Vine which I don't really like. I figured we'll just wait in line. I think it will be fine.

 

[stitchaholic]

we've been to CM for breakfast and enjoyed it, i like the breakfast better than the dinner.

i ended up switching my best friends breakfast to 1900 park fare, we have done stitch twice,and i am determined to try all new places this time around, plus the sticky pecan buns looked too good to pass up!

jan 3rd
9am supercalifragilistic breakfast
6:20 pm tepan edo

jan 4th
9:05am kona cafe
5:45pm boma

jan 5th
9:40am cape may
6:00pm whispering canyon

My mom had a celebrations package sent for us last year and she said it was $$ because they charge you for each thing you want and we have 3 kids My boys loved it but I would have never spent that much for what we got

Hi everyone!! no one has been here today. I have a sick kiddo..actually 2. My 5 year old has a horrific cough and my 3 year old has a high fever..nothing worse than when my babies are sick

On a happier note..78 days til disney

 

[Northern Disney Girl]

we are all sick here too. my youngest has been sick since sunday, the older one came down with it during the night and I admited defeat this morning and asked DH to stay home from work so I could rest. I 've been up several times each night since sunday and am exhausted and now have a very low grade fever, nasty cough and a headache! I hope that I feel better really soon, I have ADRs to make on tuesday!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[PEANUT1]

you poor thing..it is so hard to have sick kids when you are sick..luckily I feel fine..tired of course...that could change at any time though bc its hard to stay well when your kids are sick.. My husband was really sick last week. He has had a cough since last Monday night. Hope your family gets well soon too and good luck with your ADR's...its so much fun to plan.

[LoveKermit]

Went online to get the dining phone number and ended up making my ressies online. I didn't have to clear out anything or really do anything except make my choices.

1/21 Arrive BWV after midnight
1/22 CRT breakfast 9:20AM, Kouzzina's (for now) 5:15 PM
1/23 Mama Melrose 12:05 PM lunch

1/24 We will make ressie for Raglan Road, but DH said they're on Open Table, so we'll go that way. And we'll make those tonight.

We may add a non-char breakfast for 1/24 as well.

I'll continue to scour the boards. We may change Kouzzina's to something at Epcot, but just wanted to put something in the hopper. Plus a 5 ish dinner and the wait to Illuminations may be too long if we are already in the park.

 

[PEANUT1]

we are going to try Kouzzina too!! I think it looks really yummy.

 

[kanderson89]

Wow, you folks are planners!

Don't know if our schedule is that set in stone but here's the gist:

Jan 3 - arrive! Fantasmic dinner at Brown Derby
Jan 4 - Free day. Maybe MK since it had EMH the night before....
Jan 5 - Tusker House character breakfast and probably AK
Jan 6 - 1900 Park Fare character breakfast; Narcoosee's dinner. DHS or Epcot in between
Jan 7 - Dolphins in depth morning tour. Epcot for rest of day
Jan 8 - Free day. maybe rent a boat depending on weather. play at resort
Jan 9 - Free day. Ditto. Meet friends at Yachtsman Steakhouse for din
Jan 10 - depart

 

[Heidijs]

We're going Jan 28-Feb 4th! Can't wait! I haven't been there since 1982!!!

 

[CrystalCastle]

To those feeling under the weather or with sick kids - I hope you all feel better soon!

I so wish I could make plans like you all have. I'm supposed to be meeting my brother and SIL at WDW for my trip in Jan but they haven't committed to the trip yet. It seems there is always something that comes up that prevents them from deciding if they are going or not. It's actually starting to get me down. I feel like I can't even get excited about the trip because it's all so up in the air with them. I don't want to plan it all out without their input but they don't want to talk about it. <sigh>

We ate at Kouzinna's in September and it was really good. The service was fantastic. We really enjoyed it a lot. I think it is a nice break to get out of the parks for a little while too. Give it a try!
