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

[jenjolt]

OOOOH...my beloved HM!! Will you think of me when you ride it LOL!!! I can't wait until the next time I'm on that ride!!! Such good times!!!

Your plans are looking so great and I wish I was going with you!

 

[kschafer]

Oh...the strawberry cheesecake is just delicious. Still my favorite cheesecake EVER and I've sampled quite a bit. Can you still get the grapefruit cake at Starring Rolls...then you could have both!!

I'm assuming you dinner is at Narcoosee's, right? I really want to go there, the food pics I've seen always look so yummy!

I don't think they have it at Starring Rolls...I just don't know. If Robb is with me, I'll talk him into sharing!

Yep, Narcoossee's! Planning on the surf and turf which is supposed to be excellent (at least to us midwesterners lobster standards!)

(sound of my palm smacking my head...)

I didn't even THINK about booking an early breakfast at MK to get that dream walk of quiet down Main Street. Oh well, looks like I'll have to start planning the NEXT trip.

Monsters Laugh Floor wasn't there the last time I visited (at least I don't think so)...is it good?

Lot's of Disers try for the first ADR time (8:05 I think) so they can leave by rope drop time but I am happy with a 9:00, I can still get to Main Street early without having to be at the park quite so early.

I thought it was cute the first time I saw it. I don't know how much of the jokes are recycled from show to show but they have some fun audience participation.

Looks like a great day. Yum - french toast puffs! What a great way to start the day - a stroll down a nearly empty Main Street, followed by a yummy breakfast with Pooh & the gang

We will be at the GF for dinner that night too, only we are dining at the GF Cafe

We are doing GFC for lunch later in the week. Their dessert sampler looks heavenly!!

Looks like a great day Katie! I love CP for breakfast Something else good..maybe it is Pooh's french toast It doesn't look very appetizing...it has berries and such...looks more like a bread pudding and it might even be that

Tracy

I've seen pictures of that (do they call it a breakfast lasagna?) It looks nasty and I had no plans to try it but if you say it's like a bread pudding, I may have to try a SMALL sample

I hope you have MAGICAL trip Katie!! I won't be able to post until we get back and you will be gone!! Enjoy every moment!!!

Thanks Beth! Have a fantastic trip!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when I get back

They sound like my parents! I love 'em, but sometimes I think to myself, "My dad would kill me if he knew how much I was paying per night to stay here at the Poly!"

They would die if they knew how much the deluxe dining plan cost I sometimes have to remind myself that their money choices have allowed them a very nice retirement so I guess they know what they are doing

OOOOH...my beloved HM!! Will you think of me when you ride it LOL!!! I can't wait until the next time I'm on that ride!!! Such good times!!!

Your plans are looking so great and I wish I was going with you!

I will definitely think of you while riding HM and make sure they know you want to be #1,000! (If you get bored on the weekend though you could drive down and ride with me )

 

[kschafer]

One week from this very moment, I will be double checking my bags and making sure everything is ready to go!!

I saw yesterday that May 1 is the last scheduled day for the UP characters at DHS. Good thing I will be there that evening, I hope they are still out! I guess the area will be refurbed during the rest of the time I am there because they say on the 9th, the new bear character from TS3 will start in the same location.

Tuesday, May 4

Orlando Weather Forecast: 85 degrees, humid with clouds and sun

Today is scheduled to be an Epcot day! They have AM EMH’s, hopefully we will get there for rope drop but I’m not going to stress about it if we don’t because Mom and Dad will be joining us and since they are offsite, they can’t enter until 9 anyways.

The morning will most likely be focused on

And

And of course checking out the F&G festival!! We are cheating for meals today and Shelby and Mom will be having lunch at

while Dad and I grab CS. We will meet up after lunch to tour WS, then later Dad and I will be having dinner at

I don’t have a lot mapped out for this day because I’m honestly not sure what others will want to do most and a lot of our time will be spent just wandering and checking things out. I don’t know if we will take an afternoon break or not. I don’t know if we will stay for Illuminations or not. This will be our flexible day!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I am so excited for you. All your plans look just great. Yippee to one week from today!!!

 

[manntra]

Woo Hoo for ONE WEEK ​

I think I might get a little crazy tomorrow and bring the suitcases up
Next Saturday is going to be hard for me because I usually leave early in the am and my flight isn't until 4:32pm I think I might work for awhile
I am going to Biergarten (love it there ) Monday night so I will be sure to save you some food. And beer
I think I need to add another breakfast (I really, really, really love Disney scrambled eggs and they are the only ones I ever eat ) so I think I will hop on over to the reservations site and see if I can find something good

Tracy

 

[kcandbella]

Yay for one week!

Days three and four look really fun!

So sad you cancelled your just in case ressie Vicarious trips will do in a pinch...I've been surviving almost 2 years now on them!

I got out my suitcase a few days ago but as soon as Daniel came home from school, he couldn't leave it alone so it went back into the closet. It will have to wait until Thursday

You can have the beer, leave me some food and wine!

I'm not a big egg eater anywhere (except as a vessel to hold the fillings of an omelet!) What breakfast ADR's do you have? Did you add one?

Yay for one week!

Days three and four look really fun!

Thanks Kayce! I'm pretty stinking excited but trying to focus on real life for a couple more days

Wednesday, May 5

Orlando Weather Forecast: 88 degrees, mostly sunny and humid. Although as Kayce (I think it was you) pointed out, there is a lot of difference in forecast depending on which source you use!


This morning will be a bit of a sleep in day…no rope drop for us! We do however have breakfast ADR’s at 10 at

Where we will dine with Mickey and the Gang. After breakfast we will borrow Christine and Anita’s private entrance to walk to Epcot for a much anticipated event….

THE CINCO DE MAYO DISMEET at

I really can’t wait to grab a couple margaritas and finally get to say hello in person to so many Disers I feel fortunate to have met through this planning process! We will probably stay a couple hours or until everyone else ditches us because the only time limit we have today is making sure we get to AK in time for

It’s also very important we catch a showing of

Then make our way to Asia so I can say hello to these critters

We may try

Or

Then at some point we have a date for more drinks with Tracy and Mary Ellen and a trek to find

This is evening EMH and we will stay and do as much as we possibly can! Afterwards we will head to

For a late dinner with Tracy and her friend at

I plan to grab some

On the way out then call it a night

 

[MeMom]

We may try

Or

Walk on the wild side - do BOTH!

I plan to grab some

I just put these up so we could all see them again.

 

[kcandbella]

DIS-meet day! Can't wait!

What are those things? They look amazingly delicious! Can you only get them there? I NEED one!

 

[kschafer]

Walk on the wild side - do BOTH!

I just put these up so we could all see them again.

Assuming it will be warm enough to not mind walking around wet, I'll be happy to do both!

Gee, who was I thinking of when I posted that pic? (MeMom and CP)

DIS-meet day! Can't wait!

What are those things? They look amazingly delicious! Can you only get them there? I NEED one!

I can't wait too...I love margaritas!!! (I can't wait to meet everyone of course)

These things?

(so you can see them again)

They are zebra domes and have quite a following. I've never had them but I THINK they have some kind of cake and mousse and have a coffee flavor. Obviously they are dipped in white chocolate and have chcolate stripes. I believe they are only available at Boma (TS buffet) and Mara (grab and go) at AKL

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for one week until Disney and the prospect of zebra domes in a week and a half!

 

[kcandbella]

Yes, that is what I am talking about. Though if they have a coffee flavor I really don't need one--I hate coffee!! Saves me a trip!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

What a perfect day... Beach Club, tequila and DIS'ers! Really wish I could be there. I'll be there in spirit!!

 

[Native NYer]

Great plans, especially the zebra domes.

 

[manntra]

for Cinco de Mayo!! That is going to be a very alcohol infused day I don't know if I will be able to find the Yeti by that time You will love Jiko! I keep looking at the menus for everywhere although I already know I am getting the filet again. I like the zebra domes and I despise coffee so maybe the chocolate stands out more to me ...and yes you can only get them at Boma dinner and Mara.
Wish you were going to be there too C....

Tracy

 

[SoonerGirl]

Yes, that is what I am talking about. Though if they have a coffee flavor I really don't need one--I hate coffee!! Saves me a trip!

If they are coffee flavored then it is extreamly subtle - I don't like coffee or anything coffee flavored, and I remember really loving the zebra domes when I tried them at Boma. In fact, I'm planning to pick some up at Mara after our dinner at Jiko to enjoy later

All your plans looks great Katie - it's getting so close now!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Day 5 sounds so surreal...we'll be crossing paths at the Cinco Meet. I think I'm going to have to try some of those zebra domes myself. If there is a way to take caffeine intraveneously legally, I'd be there.

 

[MHTeacher]

Ahhhh, a week from today, you will be sitting pretty in Disney World! I'm so excited for you, Katie!

 

[cdotla]

Too funny! We will be at 4 places that you will be on May 5th...but it looks like we will miss you at everyone expect Cinco de Mayo.

We are also doing Cape May for breakfast...but much earlier than you!

And we will also be doing Jiko for dinner...but again, much earlier than you!

Possibly we will see you at AK for EMH. Our plan is to hit it for the last hour once we finish dinner. We shall see.

What a perfect day... Beach Club, tequila and DIS'ers! Really wish I could be there. I'll be there in spirit!!
