MagicBands + Margaritas + Muggles + Minions = TRP. New TR link is up! 10/31

NYE too? :faint: You're having one heckuva Disney year girlfriend!

Plans look great on all counts. Sad not to be joining you and MEK.
 
Loving your plans! All the DL food makes me want to go back (I may or may not plan Disney trips around food!)

Can't wait for NYE!
 
Oh I love our plans! :love:::yes::

So excited! :cool1:

And to think you have a Easter trip right around the corner followed close behind by our trip. Woo hoo for Disney on both coasts! :cool1:
 

Planning update!!!!!!!!! Exciting developments over the past week or two around here.

Disneyland Marching Band Trip.


Great plans! Enjoy the DisMeet with Fran and Alison.

Love your food plans and I can't wait to see your pictures. Hope the band plays well.


Updates to the Girls Flower and Garden Trip as well. We have been tweaking away on our plans!!!


YAY for the BoG FP+.

Plans are looking like a lot of fun.





Disneyland Half Marathon Trip

Ok this isn’t actually a trip update per-se but it is a "training" update! Jeff and I were signed up to do a local race next weekend, a 12K.

Ann is going to join me!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool1::cool1::cool1:



Have a great run!





Fall Anniversary Food & Wine and Cruise

I did make our brunch reservation through open table at Raglan Road. I still need to add DME for the return but at least got it in there for the outbound.

Up next….NEW YEARS EVE!!!!!

That's great! Congratulations on getting the ADR at RR.
 
at the party... better late than never...:confused3 ... between you and MaryEllen and Kathy... I'll probs have reading material to keep me going for a while...
:surfweb:
 
Just popping in to say I'm finally caught up.

Easter Egg Hunt: looking at the times guide it doesn't say the number of maps is limited. It just says the maps and stickers are available at select merchandise locations for $4.95. Hopefully there will be plenty left for you guys.

Lots of great plans for both trips!! I can't wait to hear more about them!! You are the planning guru! :worship:
 
We're planning on going to DHS on Friday the 16th to meet up with you guys! What time is your Fantasmic FP+? I can book ours so it's the same. :thumbsup2
 
Loving all these fabulous plans! Easter service on the beach sounds very special.

Too bad Jeff wasted precious pool time looking for a mug.
 
Plans sound great, Cynthia for the DL and DW trip.

You will love Rosie; I got a "pole" picture when we met her in December. And if TK is who I think it is, I met her two years ago and she is an absolute doll.
 
Fabulous plans for ALL your trips.

Yard work is keeping me busy when I have time off and work is a bear right now. :badpc:
 
Amazing plans you have, and as always so detailed! :worship: I love all your Easter plans and hopefully one day before long I can make it out to DL and try some of those same places and the unique attractions there! :goodvibes

Can't wait for all the excitement of your F&G trip with MEK! You have a lot planned there too, and some interesting DISmeets planned! I expect to see some pole dancing pics with Rosie when the TRs start flying! :rolleyes1

And good luck with the Seahawks 12k! :thumbsup2
 
The plans look like they're coming together well! I really like your plans for Easter Sunday. The beach service sounds great. :thumbsup2

Good luck to you and Ann both, on running the 12K! I'm sure it will be a fun event for both of you to be able to enjoy each others' company and push each other a bit! :thumbsup2
 
I remember that. :thumbsup2 In this room, it should work. I just worry more about BWV.

The front entry "hall" closet was pretty big, Melissa had her whole suitcase in there I think so that should help. Plus the master closet is HUGE. Like walk in huge so if you don't mind sharing, that could work. Maybe have Kira take the hall and Zoe share in your closet? Shorter distance to the hall closet might make it easier for Kira. I also think there are dresser drawers under the TV in the living space.

It will be! I have not done a 12k before either. :cool1:

I am very excited! Right now the forecast looks amazing (it would be my first dry and warm race if that really happens). Hopefully Jeff is in good shape. Mr no big deal on the 23 mile ramp up...is the one with issues. He did order new shoes and I sent him into PT but I definitely got a reluctant "you were right" out of him.

Always fun to have video done! Kinda sucks though when you get blocked... I don't know that I have seen many clips from my finishes. Just the Disney races and they are just brief (as in blink and you miss me)

They video'd the whole thing so you can see my full approach. Which is both good and bad. Funny to see the wind moving everything in it. I really did get totally blocked. Note to self...don't be so close behind the person in front of you if you want a decent picture. :rotfl2:

I hope you get to do the egg hunt. I really want to hear about how it goes!

Crowds at at 10?? :scared1:

Again with the 10 for crowds! I guess it makes sense though...easter weekend and all.

Easter service sounds nice! I hope you get your run in. I bet it will be a lovely place to run.

I am :crazy2: on the crowds and of course those first 2 nights are the only nights with later closings which kind of bites. But it will be fine, we are there long enough that we should be able to hit everything ok. I have realized something though. I am SPOILED when it comes to running. I can deal with the rain, sleet, heat, whatever. I can't deal with the concept of just running budy city sidewalks as my run. BLEH. While I certainly could do a loop or 2 around the parks....it's running next to parking lots and in front of hotels on busy streets. BLEH!

I WILL get a run in by the beach if it kills me, either Monday or Tuesday. There is also a river trail about 3 miles away that has potential as a fall back but I wouldn't run to it I don't think, would likely drive there.

I will keep my fingers crossed for good weather. It can be nice down there during that time!

I hope so! It was cool and rainy our last spring break trip in 2010!


I know that Blue Bayou is kinda cheesy themed..but it is a must do for my kids (specifically my oldest son) I have not been in years though... I will be anxious to hear your review. :goodvibes

It's a must do for us, very much looking forward to it, the boys have never been.


Boo for last day! But I am excited to hear about your breakfast...


So just throwing my own 2 cents in... ;) There are two cs that you dont have on your list that you should consider. (or at least I think you should :rotfl:) Flo's V8 and Paradise Garden Grill were surprisingly good when we went and I would not hesitate at all to go again.

I do see you have my two favorite snacks on there :thumbsup2 The fritters and the bacon wrapped asparagus. I know they still sell tigger tails in Critter Country. Once upon a time they were my absolute favorite. They have changed it though do to the states restrictions on I think hydrogenated fats. :confused: Still good, but not nearly what it once was. I really wish they sold them in WDW... they could probably make the old version there.

I always list snacks but almost never actually have them. :rotfl: we will see! Flo's seemed ok for snacks but the menu didn't excite me. Still we will be playing it by ear so you never know. Paradise Garden Grill does look like a solid lunch option, I thought I had it on my list but apparently not!

I will post to my PTR, but I was shocked that when I made my ADRs today.. there was only ONE breakfast reservation that the cm could offer me at Olivias.

That makes me nervous but I'd be just as much with a CC hold given that I land at 9:40 and bfast stops at 11. I just hope it works out. I REALLY want breakfast. LOL!

Do you plan to run to POR? Or just around OKW?

No clue. I'm not exactly sure how it all connects but will figure it out by then (and probably still get turned around...we did at SSR lol). I'd prefer to go further than just 2 loops around OKW though./

I need to remember pool hoping! It is just between DVC resorts, yes?

no, all resorts except for the ones not allowed. Which are: AKV, BLT, AoA, BC/YC,

The rest are ok but can have blackout dates (holidays)

Friday:
• RD at DHS to see opening of Star Wars Weekend
• Sci Fi Star Wars Breakfast! DISbreakfast with Caitlin, Dawn and Dawns DH. I am super excited to meet these guys and have been gobbling up their DL TR!
• Possible/probable pool break either hop to BWV or back to OKW
• Evening FP+ at DHS
• Dinner at Brown Derby Lounge
• Symphony in the stars special DHS fireworks
• Possible Jellyrolls DISmeet…unless we are all too tired. Very much a play by ear!

Sounds like another fun girls day! I have always wanted to go to Jellyrolls.

Me too, we will see if the energy holds up for it. LOL!

You are faster. ;)

Not!

I too am so excited! I think dh is excited to have me talking about something other than the fall trip. ::yes:: I am THAT excited about the 12k. :rotfl:

As excited as I am about this race, I do think that they will not be able to pull it off as well as Disney does. 8 to 10k people is a LOT of people to not have a planned staging or filtering method. I know that we will be walking to our corral at the DLH, but I have faith it will run as smoothly as each of the fl races I have done... I am not sure there will not be a certain amount of confusion at the 12k. At least for me there likely will be.

I am always confused.


I have not been up that way in forever, but seems to me like you have a lot of options. Plus, isn't there some sort of deals from local merchants for race participants?

Probably, there may be coupons in the packet

I think that was brilliant! Not that I totally hate the cc guarantee, but it does get to be a pain to have to worry about.

I don't mind if if I know I have time to cancel if need be. In this case, I don't have time so it's easier not to tie my CC to it!

NYE too? :faint: You're having one heckuva Disney year girlfriend!

Plans look great on all counts. Sad not to be joining you and MEK.

I am very very sad too!!! Can't wait to hear about your cruise!

My year is obnoxious and I will be broke and sitting at home for the next 2, to make up for it.

Loving your plans! All the DL food makes me want to go back (I may or may not plan Disney trips around food!)

Can't wait for NYE!


Nothing wrong with planning it aorund food!


Oh I love our plans! :love:::yes::

So excited! :cool1:

And to think you have a Easter trip right around the corner followed close behind by our trip. Woo hoo for Disney on both coasts! :cool1:

Crazy isn't it!!!!!!

Wait - did we actually get a BOG FP+? :scratchin

I DID email you before I posted here....I can see which you check first

:rotfl2:
 
Looks like a lot of exciting plans! Lots of DIS meets snuck in there too.

I've never heard of an Easter Sunday service on the beach before, but that sounds kind of cool.

Good luck on the race!
 
Great plans! Enjoy the DisMeet with Fran and Alison.

I am very excited to meet them! I think I've firmed up some loose plans with Brenda as well :goodvibes

Love your food plans and I can't wait to see your pictures. Hope the band plays well.

It's the freshman's first time marching...so it will be interesting!

YAY for the BoG FP+.

Plans are looking like a lot of fun.

I am REALLY looking forward to the May trip. I love my family but oh, it's time for a girls trip!!!

Have a great run!

Thanks! It should be fun

Planning looks really good, Cynthia! You are SO organized! :thumbsup2

And yet I will totally forget something!!!

I know, isn't she? I love traveling with Cynthia. I can go completely mindless and she figures it all out!

:rotfl2:

Until I forget something critical...good thing the coffee is on your list :lmao:

at the party... better late than never...:confused3 ... between you and MaryEllen and Kathy... I'll probs have reading material to keep me going for a while...
:surfweb:

:welcome: Patricia!!!! We aren't that far along actually...I am not exactly the speediest of updaters

Just popping in to say I'm finally caught up.

Easter Egg Hunt: looking at the times guide it doesn't say the number of maps is limited. It just says the maps and stickers are available at select merchandise locations for $4.95. Hopefully there will be plenty left for you guys.

I hope we can, I think it would be fun and then hopefully some cute seasonal decor for the house!
 
I think I'm just going to get you to plan my next trip for me!
