Leaving the hubbies and kids behind - A May 2010 PTR, TR has begun!

[kcandbella]

Hi Katie! I just jumped over from my PTR! We are planning on doing MK EMH on Sunday the 2nd if we aren't too tired, and I was thinking the same thing about Cinco de Mayo in Mexico!!! Can't wait to hear about your plans for DxDP.

 

[kschafer]

Hi Katie! When you pointed out that we were going to be at WDW at the same time I had to come and check out your PTR. And, guess what, not only will we be there at the same time, we are staying at the same resort!

Your plans sound great, and I can't wait to see what you come up with for your extra ADRs since you decided to go deluxe!!

WELCOME MICHELLE AND KAYCE!!!!

I'm so excited to find a couple more May visitors! There are a couple others around this thread and I also had someone on the CSR thread tell me their dates are the same as mine. I'm so excited to "meet" some fellow travellers in advance! How cool Michelle that we will both be at CSR too

I'm waiting to hear from Beth about our dining plans then I'll fill everyone in!!

on the Deluxe! I love the idea of "we normally couldn't do this, but we can for this trip, so LET'S DO IT!" Go all out and enjoy every second of it.

I'm looking forward to your ADRs! I'm sure it's a lot of fun to plan and figure those out and dream of all the snacks.

I'm one of those Mom's who is guilty of putting myself last. I just don't spend a lot of money on myself and so I'm pretty excited about taking a week with my girlfriend and doing it big!

Yeah, a girl trip is going to be a lot of fun!

Beth is so easy going! I sent her a list of ADR's that I was able to get and she just said "sure"!. So....drumroll please.....the new and deluxified version of our dining plan:

• Sat 5/1: 5:00 Brown Derby. I'm nervous about this one but I managed to get the latest possible Fantasmic Dinner Package. Our flight arrives at 3:05 so I'm worried that 2 hours isn't enough to get on ME, check in at CSR and get to DHS. The guy I talked to said they would honor the ADR even if we arrive late. My hope would be to check in and have just a long enough wait to run and grab FP so we can do a few rides before Fantasmic at 9.
  
• Sun 5/2: 11:30 Sci-Fi Dinner Theater. I really debated this one after Jen and C's experience in Sep but I really want to try the food. Hopefully an early ressie will make it easy to get in quickly
• 5:05 Biergarten. Can't wait for the food and entertainment!
  
• Mon 5/3: 12:35 Grand Floridain Cafe. I debated this or something inside MK but I really want to try the burger covered in lobster and hollandaise and they have a dessert sampler that looks out of this world!
• 6:55 Artist Point I released our ADR at Whispering Canyon Cafe for this one and am excited to try it. WCC will be there next time!
  
• Tues 5/4: 12:00 Chefs de France. Gotta check out the waiters!
• 7:20 California Grill. Can't wait!
  
• Wed 5/5: 12:00 Teppan Edo. This may be the one place I skip dessert but I am looking forward to the meal!
• 8:35 Jiko. This is late but they don't open until 5 and we are planning doing Animal Kingdom until closing at 8 and I figured eating after would be better than taking up a couple hours of that time.
  
• Thurs 5/6: 10:20 Crystal Palace. This is an EMH morning so we should be able to get a couple good hours of attractions in first. I think what I am most excited about is that hey will have breakfast food when we arrive then transition to lunch so we will have both options!
• 6:20 Ohana with MEK and friends

We kept the Rose and Crown ADR on the 7th and gave up all others we were considering.

Still hoping the dessert party is an option on the 8th too!

[Lady Lallie]

[jenjolt]

Looks like some great ADRs...you guys are going to be in food heaven!!! YUMMY!!!!

 

[Megablocks]

Your ADRs look amazing! I'm so glad you are going with the deluxe and get to try all the yummy food.

We are eating at Chefs de France next month -- the mac and cheese is calling my name. I'll try to get some good food pictures for you.

Love the new ADR's You are eating at Jiko the night I am at Boma after the EMH at AK and our Lost on Safari's I really would like to switch one of my ADR's to Jiko because I really, really loved it there...I will have to ask Sue (my neighbor/friend that is coming with me.) She doesn't have anything to pay resort wise because I am staying on my points soooooo I will just make sure she has a big old budget for FOOD!
Sounds like there are two more possible Dismeets from your PTR Pretty soon we will be in double digits!!

Your ADRs look delicious!! We didn't have the greatest service at Sci-Fi either; however, the cheeseburger and shake made up for that. Yum!

And at 11:30, you should be able to walk right in.

I agree on not using AK time and eating late at Jiko. 8:35 in Disney World isn't like 8:35 at home, anyway. The night is still young at that time when you're down there.

You have lots of good eating to look forward to!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I am positively drooling over your deluxified plans! So yummy!! What fun that you'll be able to have so many DIS meets!! I'm looking forward to the TR already!

 

[MEK]

Excellent Dining ADRS Katie. Good Decision to do the DxDP. You will love it and I think everyone needs to try it once. Especially since this is your first trip in 2 years! I hope you are still hungry by the time we have dinner together!

 

[kschafer]

Yeah, a girl trip is going to be a lot of fun!

I can't wait

I'm excited about treating myself for a change

You have some great choices on there!

Thanks, I can't wait!

Looks like some great ADRs...you guys are going to be in food heaven!!! YUMMY!!!!

We'll probably be in a food coma

I'm hoping Beth will split entrees with me because I can't decide between the sandwich and the mac and cheese

Double digits are coming up soon

Jiko dinner huh?

Your ADRs look delicious!! We didn't have the greatest service at Sci-Fi either; however, the cheeseburger and shake made up for that. Yum!

I may end up regretting it but the food looks so good I want to give it a try!

And at 11:30, you should be able to walk right in.

I'm really hoping that at 11:30 we won't have the same problems others have.

I think the AK evening followed by Jiko will be wonderful!

I am positively drooling over your deluxified plans! So yummy!! What fun that you'll be able to have so many DIS meets!! I'm looking forward to the TR already!

Still room to add a dining partner for a few of them

I may not be hungry by then but that hasn't stopped me from eating in the past

 

[kschafer]

Changes already?



Yep!



Tracy and I talked about her wanting to eat at Jiko so and she and her friend will be joining Beth and I after our AK drinks/EE evening It was no problem getting a table for 4 instead of 2 so we are on for a wonderful meal at 8:40

I also got thinking about Cinco do Mayo. I have moved our Teppan Edo ADR to 12:30 so that we can hit the Tequila Cave right at 11 and would love to have others join us if possible SO any of you (Michelle and Kayce I know are planning Epcot on this day, Tracy and MEK, I couldn't remember) who will be in Epcot on May 5, come join us! I think I will even put out an invite to any other disers who will be there this day. A giant Dis-meet could be a lot of fun!!

 

[manntra]

Thanks so much for adding us to Jiko Katie!! I am really excited and it is going to be a fun and delicious dinner!!
Tequila at 11....Lost on Safari in the evening....Jiko for dinner!
I just looked at my papers and it looks like I have rope drop for MK the morning of the fifth....I will see if I can move some things around or get what I want done in the am and then monorail over for some tequila! I am excited!!
