About ADR's, is there any place that gives a list of the restaurants that need ADR's and the ones that don't. Do counter service places need ADR's?

Hey - DH pulled a brochure for the DDP from the official Disney website for a list of the participating restaurants & it has an icon by the ones that take ADRs! Hope that helps! :thumbsup2

The brochure is an adobe file, so you can d/l it to your computer to print out & look at online.
 
I looked at the pics this morning!! Very nice Mouseaddicts. We have a collection like that too. We have probably 50 albums on shutterfly:rotfl: Since I'm so use to sending them daily, that's why I sent them to you that way. Let me know in 2008 what you think.

The running away thing is sounding better to me. :drive:

Torture...there are so many people that I know that are going to Disney SOON. The band and choir are going over spring break.:faint:
 
I spent the afternoon reading deb's site and going over menu's listed there. Think I have picked out fav. and might try Citrico's?, or return to O'hana's for dinner. We have not had the "new" menu at O'hana's. These ADR's are hard to figure out. The August hours are not even out. :confused3

I was glad to read everyone's suggestions! Thanks, I agree with mouseaddict's DH thou, Just can't get into the spoodles menu. I will go back to China again too. I know the portions changed, and prices went up, but we do like chinese food. :confused3 I might even throw caution to the wind and try Canada again. After a disasterous last year attempt. Cannot come up with a nice meal at MK ?? Tony's was terrible last year, not interested in character meals, and don't really want turkey. I think we will wind up eating a lot of burgers? :rolleyes1

1 more day, waiting to see if I get bumped off of august vac. Fingers crossed and looking ok at this point. I checked airfare today and its at 203.00 right now. Interesting turn of events with the Vacation req. at work, the week following thanksgiving and the first week in dec. is open I signed up my other 2 weeks. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, looks like a pre-christmas trip?????????? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: I checked that airfare too leaving thanksgiving day (after i work) Only 243.00. Last year by august you could not even touch it for less than 700.00. Yikees. Well we where not planning 2, but that might happen, sis is talking about resorts now.

Still not sure about the CR. I have been following the threads and there is alot of construction? and plans. I am leaning toward Poly in dec. if not aug. but sis is standing firm. she has not even ok'd a split.

You guys are so right about disney and planning. I just helped a girl at work with a universal trip. Got her onsite with discount. People just have no idea. She could not believe the price differences and the planning in these trips. Sometimes I feel like we are going to over take a small country with all our work, thought, planning, and then doing it all over again in a year or so over. We must be nuts. I just can't seriously think about going somewhere else. We are not big beach people, haven't been to las vegas since 95'. I might plan someday to go to disney-LAND? When sis talks europe, i tell here i will go to disney -PARIS. Otherwise, i pretty much have been every else (hawaii, cruises, just about all 50 states and some of canada), so i don't feel like we are missing something. Most of the people at work, i would not even tell we are going back, for fear of ridicule.:rolleyes:

Well, keep the resturant ideas coming, and have a great nite!:cutie:
 
EE22: I hear you. Someone else called me last night asking for info on planning their trip. I am praying DH will cave soon but he hasn't given in yet. I left a suddle hint last night after a Disney commercial came on. I told him about the 40% off. He didn't say anything, but I think it may be better than the usual no.
 

Hey guys !!!:goodvibes

I feel guilty to write this, I just got off the phone with w/disney and booked nov /dec. :yay: :eek: :yay: Guess I better start picking up that overtime at work.:scared:
 
MKY: You shouldn't feel bad about planning trips. Christmas was awesome and if you can go...go!! I just wish you would send pictures so I can live it with you.

Tomar: Read all the new stuff for your trip while you have time on your hands.:rolleyes1

It's -3 degrees here this morning:scared1: Can I call in sick because it's too cold?!?!?:confused3
 
Hey MKY - do you want me to send you a link to our shutterfly album collection? Send a PM if you're interested in the pics ....... you too Chloe if you're still around! :goodvibes

That's awesome that you booked Nov/Dec today! Congrats!

I've requested vac days for the 28th of Dec (we're closed New Year's eve & New Year's day) ... that's a Friday, so I'm hoping we can squeeze in a Christmas/New Year's trip this year with ALL three kids! Not sure if it will happen yet, but we're working on it!

Sorry to hear you're sick Tomar!!! :sick: I was @ home Mon & Tues with my son - appears he has the flu. :confused: We're attempting to avoid Pneumonia with his breathing treatments, etc., but he has a history of it..... at about 9:00 last night DH started throwing up & continued all night long (no sleep for either of us!) so he stayed home :sick: today with my son .....

Of course, I don't feel so hot today, so I'm afraid mommy is getting it too ....

They're predicting ice/sleet/snow here tonight, so we'll see what tomorrow brings! I'm hoping the weather is REALLY BAD so I don't have to go to the office & don't get in trouble for being out again this week (even though I worked from home mon & tues) ......:confused3
 
:surfweb:

Well today was vac. deadline day so I feel pretty good about my request. Should not have a problem. Just waiting for the official word.
Our late fall trip would be Nov. 22 (thanksgiving) [after I work?] for 10 to 14 days? Not sure about how long we plan on staying. Unable to get an AAA rate right now. cm said they are not out yet? I thought they released the whole year at once? popcorn::

:sick: Tomar hope your feeling better! You to mouseaddicts & family :sick: :sick: :sick:

Thanks EE22 for your support. You will have to fill me in on all the holiday stuff. We haven't been since 03' during this time period. I love MVMCP and Xmas parade. Maybe we will be there when they have Regis & Kelly? We are not allowed to get the week of xmas off so this will have to do.

Mouseaddicts YES:yay: I want in. I will pm you my email.
 
Hey Guys:goodvibes
Im feeling just alittle better tonight:sick: ...thank you all for the well wishes:grouphug:

Mouseadditcts....I think something is going around.....my DS and DDIL are both sick too.....and DH had to wait for the rest of my meds in the pharmacy....they ran out...and had to order more antibiotics !!!!:eek:
I hope that you and your family get well soon too:wizard:

MKY- How wonderful...a christmas trip next year:cloud9: .....
Christmas has always been my dream trip.:cloud9: ....but we get too busy at home ......so....now my dream trip has turned into....the first one with....."The Pefectly Princess"...when she`s 3 princess: !!
 
We got SNOW!!! WE GOT SNOW!!!:woohoo:

It's only a couple of inches, but we got it! :cool1:

It doesn't happen around here often.

I'm coughing (barking) quite a bit today, but no fever - DS & DH appear to be feeling much better. DS is still coughing quite a bit though.

MKY - got your PM - will send the link. How exciting that you get to go at Christmas!!!

Tomar - I'm sure the 1st trip with the Perfectly Princess will be a dream trip for everyone!!! :cloud9: When DH & I watch the planning DVD (every year), we always comment on how cool it would be for my parents to go with the kids, but we just can't convince them to go!
 
:surfweb: mouseaddicts- So you guys got snow today !! I wish could feel that way about snow....but I see it all the time...and honestly...."I`ll pass !;)
Im excited that you got to experience it though... this winter:goodvibes
Glad that your famiy is feeling better, and that you have no fever:goodvibes
I`m feeling alittle better today...but I have a way to go yet...:sick:

We always took our boys to Disney as they were growing up....(I`m the Biggest Disney lover in our family:cloud9: ).....sooo taking our perfectly Princess princess: will be.....the icing on my Disney Cake:flower3: !!!!
I hope that your parents will experience it with yu guys someday !!!:banana:
 
We got snow too! Now is is freezing rain. At least we got to go out for a little bit this morning.
 
We have COLD and I mean COLD!!:cold: :cold:
-15 degrees is due tonight. There are wind chill warnings out with wind chills in the -30 range. It's suppose to get worse through the weekend too. We haven't lost a day of school due to the cold for many years.

The torture continues: They released all the flights for Allegiant for the entire summer now.:sad1: Good prices too.

I've been spending my hours dreaming of DVC since AKV are now in the mix. What a pipe dream:scratchin
 
EE22, I here you! Its freezing here too.:cold:

Mouseaddict's I think its too cold here to snow. :rolleyes1 I like when we just have flurries. Not enough to get out a shovel but pretty. :rolleyes1 Unfortunately it does not happen much. :confused3

Tomar, I love extended trips with family too! Unfortunately there isn't too many of us. I've taken our parents, my neices twice, and nephew x1 so far. It is a lot of work. Just getting him wash and dressed wore me out. 8 yr's and all boy! It does add a different element to the trip, having extra people with you. :dance3:

Ok, I will confess, I now have 2 extra counters. Sis booked the cruise as a surprise gift. I guess they are just opening up bookings for the special wonder cruises for 08" summer. Now I will have to worry more about getting approval next year. popcorn:: [That was really nice of her.]

Have a great SuperBowl Sunday! GO BEARS!
 
TOMAR: Oh, I hope you are feeling better. Same thing is going around here. I started on New Years Day with a cough, couple of days later came the fever and chills, body aches, etc, went to doctor they said flu. Did a round of Tamiflu and anitibiotics only to get even sicker once the antibiotics were done. DH kept saying I had phenmonia but I couldn't believe it. I then wound up with a terrible sinus infection which I now have antibiotics for. I am finally feeling better as of yesterday. I hope you are feeling better at this point. The antibiotics should have kicked in now.

EE22: Pretty cold here too. Woke up this morning and the house was 55 degrees. I thought we ran out of oil but DH kept saying no way. Ends up our thermastat is on the fritz. Of course it is like the coldest day of the year here.

MKY: Very jealous of all your future trips planned. My brother in law just said last night at least you guys are done with Disney now since you went the last 2 years. I said no way. I want to go back again this summer even more than before. Very addicting that place called Disney.:love: During the conversation last night DH said that I am only really nice to him when I want to start planning a trip. Then once he says yes I get all addicted to the internet planning the trip and ignore him. I think there is hope he may cave down the road. Problem is I was hoping to jump on that S/D bandwagon and I bet it will be sold out soon. I keep telling myself all things happen for a reason and maybe a better deal will come out on Disney property. I did get that code but I can't travel until 8/21 and that just brings us too close to back to school. I would much rather go earlier in the month.

Mouseaddicts: Love your pictures. Seeing the BW makes me want to stay at S/D even more. I would love to stay BW but the price is just so much more than S/D, even with that 40% code. Seeing your pictures definately makes me want to go back even more this summer.

Hope everyone enjoys the Superbowl.
 
Hi Everyone !!!:goodvibes
Well I was feeling better yesterday...today...Im not so good:sick: Wow !!!
This pneumonia thing is knocking me for a loop !!!:sad2:
Im taking the meds...and Im on the nebulizer every day 2xs a day...ICK

TP2- ROTFL-:lmao: ...I had to make my DH read what you wrote...you sound like me...when I`m in the planning mode !!!!!!! Thank you for the well wishes...and I hope your better too:angel:
MORE of the pixiedust for you !!!!pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust: pixiedust:

MKY- Congrats !!!!! Your going to be a busy lady this year !!!!!! How wonderful !!!!!!!:goodvibes

Mouseaddicts- I go back on your link to see if any pics have been added....thank for for sharing.....:cloud9:...I hope that you guys are feeling better too.......:wizard:

EE22- It`s Freezing here too :cold: In a way Im glad that this is the time I have to stay indoors....and not in the summer !!:beach:
 
-15 here this morning. We have a late start due to the cold. I'm not even sure the busses will start in this weather. The fuel turns to jel or something strange!! At least the Box Elder bugs are dead. I just hate those things! Michigan didn't have the nasty beastie things.

TP2: Can't you make a ressie for S/D and cancel? Or would you not feel right about that with DH? That's what I would do ;) Last spring when 3 of us wanted to visit the Mouse during Christmas and DH the poop wasn't convinced that was a good idea, I made a ressie for Sat to Sat and he was clueless, but I handle the finances. He just laughed when we finally made our final plans and he said, "is there a room" and I said, "I booked it months ago." :lmao:

MKY: You go Girl! How fun!! DD won't cruise...she's watched too many movies and the news:rotfl: we wouldn't fit in a room there anymore either so perhaps I could get DH to go one day when the kids are grown, college is paid for and we're too old to go commando at the parks;)

Tomar: Rest up, the Mouse is waiting for you.:woohoo:

Mouseaddicts: love the pics. It brings me back to the Mouse Days of Summer.

I went to the DS yesterday...100 miles away. Disney is almost completely gone from my life...it's so sad. Had a great time. Last time I had time to go there was August and being gone all day yesterday just about did me in. Too much to do. I'm still working on my math. It just never ends. At spring break it will be over a year I've been pouring through that stuff. I'll be glad when it's finally "old hat" for me like my other courses. :headache:

Need a favor for you code watching Disney planners...if they release Free Dining or AP rates for August please let me know. My partner in crime that went to the DS with me yesterday is going in August and I told her I'd watch for AP rates and Free dining for her. I know you are watching and frankly, it's just too depressing for me.

Airfare when up over the weekend :laughing: I won't torture myself so much now.
 
EE22: DH would flip if he knew that I booked without him first agreeing to the trip. But I won't say that I haven't thought about it. I checked availability at the :surfweb: Dolphin last night and they have it available according to the internet but if you book online they have a terrible cancellation policy. I am not willing to do that.

Have to say that we have a DS about 10 miles away and that is not the best thing either. I went about 2 weeks ago because I needed a birthday gift, well $150 later (on my kids) I left the store only to go back 2 days later and spend another $50. The sales were so good I couldn't resist.

If I see anything come out for August I will be sure to let you know.

Oh and what are those bugs you were talking about?:scared1: Never heard of them before.
 
TP2: The DS close was never a good thing for me either :rotfl: I have my very own plush mountain:lmao: I was a good girl and didn't buy any plush or mbbp yesterday although my friend had bought me a Lumpy on super dooper sale so I did end up with him yesterday. I love the white plush. I'm sad.

Too bad DH would have a :scared1: if you booked.

Box Elder bugs...they are like lightening bugs...they light up in the summer...their butts actually. When they get smashed they leave light juice on the sidewalk. Kids taught me that. They are odd creatures and when there is a nuclear war those and the roaches will be left behind. They fly too:sad2: and they are the worst in the fall...they get into the house somewhere threw tiny cracks or something. I usually don't have too many, but they are just icky, nasty things. HATE THEM!!! Places with older trees have tons of them so there are more at work. YUCK!!!!! They were still flying around after work since it's been a warm winter. Well, they are DEAD now!!! Only thing worse were the grasshoppers and crikets the year of the drought. Did you know that when grasshoppers get close to the end of their life cycle they go insane and will eat anything? that fall they ate threw screens in people's houses. :scared:
