July 2011:Calling all planners-Post your dates & Resort

[tinkerbell60]

We also stayed at CR garden wing last summer! We loved it!! This is our first Poly stay. My kids don't know yet! I'm so excited!

I absolutely loved the Poly. We were a little spoiled, I had gotten a phenomenal rate of Club level - so although the kids knew we were at the Poly - THAT was a shock. It was wonderful. I love the proximity to MK and depending on which longhouse you are in, it is sometimes easier to walk over to the TTC to catch the monorail to Epcot. It is my favorite of all the MK resorts - with the CR second.

I got Fantasia/Fantasia 2000 too! And - a Vera Bradley bag for summer, which might work for the parks too! I am just worried about those sudden rain storms - so I may look for something more waterproof.

I admire you for walking - I am supportive of the March of Dimes also - my daughter was born very prematurely, and I know how important this is. We were very fortunate and after rough start at 1 lbs 11 oz she is a healthy and feisty almost 18 year old.

Keep me posted on your ADR and I will add it. Sometimes it is nice to not plan too much. That is what we usually do - but we are taking advantage of a free dining pin this year.

I think your smart not using the bag for the parks. It would be ashame to get it ruined in a rain storm.

I'm so glad that everything turned out well with your daughter. Both sons of our friends were born premature, I cannot remember the weights, but do remember how tiny they were. They are both healthy teenagers now.

Last year, we only made a few ADRs and we enjoyed not having to rush to get to them.

Those rains can be heavy and unexpected! Yes, we are very lucky - she is a miracle. I know what you mean about enjoying NOT having ADRs, this year will be interesting. I tried to make them later in the day so we do not have to feel as rushed.

Finally added our pic!! My nephew (red shirt) will not be joining us this summer.. Please say Hello if you see us..

I love the picture! I am going to look for one of us too!

I have added these, and when you find the rest let me know. Don't you hate thinking about the last day? Makes me sad too and we have not even left yet!

Yes, this makes me sad too.

Maybe if I don't acknowledge it, it will never come and I can stay at Disney FOREVER?!?!?!? Then again I know it will come eventually and I get very sad in that thought

This is my first post... We are plannig our second family trip to the wonderful world of Disney. We are going July 6 - 14 and staying at POP. Here are our ADR...

6 - Crystal Palace @ 7:30

Next time we go (unless by some miracle I win the lottery and can buy into DVC *begins to pray very very hard*)we will be at the Poly, but in our heart of hearts I think we will always be WL folks. Glad to know I'm not the only one who made Breakfast and Dinner ressies with very few lunch ones thrown in for good measure. Sometimes there are just places you gotta eat at...for me it's Yak and Yeti (they really need an emoticon with a fork!).

So lately I havent been doing much in the way of trip planning (unless you count watching the calander S...L...O...W....L....Y tick by) but I have been oing aLOT in the way of house cleaning! Between my folks comming up this Friday and trying to get my life organized I've been a busy bee!

I have updated your ADRs. We are both at the Garden Grill one day, but 90 minutes apart......I have to say - I enjoy your sense of humor - and you are right - they need an emoticon with a fork!!

They need lots more emoticons! I saw that we both had GG on the same day. I'm a little sad that I dont share ADR's with anyone else so far, it would be nice to run into someone from the board while waiting to get seated.

You are the closest one I have in common with anyone so far. But, a lot people have not posted them yet - so we may be in luck. I actually have had more luck with planned meets. Like, meet in front of France - near the Grand Marnier slushie stand at 1pm.................might need to do that one again - lol!

Love this!!! All the effort to lose weight before we go, and then I am going to blow it with free dining. Thanks for updating page 1!

 

[wintershawl]

I got a PIN!!!....

.....For the value resorts. Well, phooey. I am staying at a moderate.

Who do I bop on the head for this?

And, since I've never gotten a PIN before, it could even be a general Public PIN anyway, I have no idea. lol.

I learned last year about scheduling lunches.. we're on the DxDP.. we were stuffed!! We like to get to the rides and then have bfkfst. My sons (17, 14) actually had fun at the character meals.. I guess since none of their friends are around .

You should call anyway, they might have a rate for the moderate that just isn't listed on the PIN!

I guess I could do that. We booked through AAA though, so I'll have to have my TA call.

How did you find out about it? I've never received a pin but my brother gets them all the time and he hardly ever goes to Disney.

We have friends who have two boys (ages 8 & 11) and they will not eat at any princess stuff just in case someone sees them.
