MAY 12th-19th!! THESE ARE THE MAYS OF OUR LIVES! II

[NewCrew42]

Well, I was up this morning at 5 a.m. I set my park dates. Yeah!

I called to make a couple of ADRs and guess what the ones I wanted were not available. Good thing I have WDW dining programed into my phone. It looks like I will be calling 10 times a day. Ugh! I know better than this but I have been so busy with the wedding, fender benders, broken washers, etc.

Off to work out, take ds to tennis, tan, get nails done, run last minute errands and pack for the wedding.

i think Spl Mtn might be good for you Mari... It's really slow and scenic for the first 5 minutes with just one drop... It's a BIG one, but it's fun and it's over really quick and (for me at least) Spl Mtn is as much the magic kingdom as the castle meaning that I don't feel complete until I ride it

I think i will give it a go this year....

Of course we think alike! We're after all!!!!!!!!!!!



Soooooooooo-
Macy's just called and said the driver of the truck that has my leather sectional on it is on the way to the Emergency Room. Seems one of the delivery boys lost his footing at the last call and fell. He has broken his ankle. Poor dude. Anyway- no couch tonight.
Jo

Sorry that your couch.... poor guy....

hi everyone...

i cant believe how long i've been gone..
it didnt seem like INFINITY AND BEYOND.

well March is almost over and I will say...YAHHHHHH!!
the flu that we caught at the end of february , ended up lasting three full weeks. but luckily was gone just in time for our school break.

so here I am, finally healthy, full from all the chocolate...and ready to catch up with all my MAYers!!!!!

Glad to hear that everyone is OK. Must have been crazy having everyone . Glad your back...

Oh sorry to hear you didn't get all your ADR's. I know how busy a wedding can keep you.... you'll get more soon. People always call in a switch around so you'll be able to get an adr you want.

Morning all!!!!!!!Today i'm on the hunt for a coupon code or something for crocs for my DH, DD and myself....

 

[JoBird]

Yay! Lake's back! how's my friend????? We've missed you girl. Glad to hear you're all feeling better.

NC- keep trying for those ADR's. You know you can always try to get in somwhere at the park. Program the # into your cell, and call call call!

Mari- there was a thread on the budget board a few days ago for free shipping for Crocs- See if you can find it.

Well today I am not doing a thing.

Sounds like

Shelly- are we getting rain today or what???/

[mari360]

Thanks Jo i'll look for it....

Hey guys am I crazy... i'm sitting here at work looking at all the pics from our trip last year and i'm getting teary eyed.... I can't wait to go back.... My DD had sooooooo much fun.

 

[JoBird]

trying to figure out my ADR's so when Disney opens up October calendar, I'll be ready to call on April 17th~ my 180 days out.

Shelly- tell me what you didn't like about Garden Grill, please. You ate there for L or S? It didn't seem too expensive, for a character meal. Thinking of trying it. Everyone is usually sick of hamburgers and nuggets and the like by the time a few days have passed into our trip and we are looking for some good veggies and stuff, so that's why we try to go to Liberty Tree-
thinking of doing both at different times in the trip.

And- anyone been to 50's Prime Time?
How about Teppan Edo? Anyone?

I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks guys!

Guess what I found at the store??? Mickey pizza!! Maybe these aren't new and you guys know what I am talking about, but I have never seen them before! DS6 is going to flip!! Just the other day at lunch he was playing with his food and I asked him what he was doing and I looked at his plate and he had 3 tostitos in the shape of a Mickey head and he looked up and said - HOW MANY MORE DAYS NOW??? Anyway this is about a medium sized pizza in the shape of a Mickey head. Very cute!

 

[JoBird]

What store, Shelly? Who makes it? I've never seen those before.
Disney has some killer marketing people...

I ate at 50's Prime and it was cute. The food was Ok i had the chicken with mashed potatoes and my DH had some sort or pot roast... the entertainment was classic. I actually have an adr there in May. I'll be trying Teppan Edo this may so i'll keep you posted...

That's cool i haven't looked for it here in NJ but now i'll look.... Also here they have burgers shaped as mickey heads. I bought them not too long ago my DD LOVED them..... You DS is sooooo cute bless his little heart... he must want to go so badly to shape his tostitos as Mickey.... tell him only

We had lunch at the Garden Grill last year. I had heard that the food was bad, but we went anyway just to see Chip & Dale.

What we liked - The characters were awesome! Came around twice. Spent a lot of time with the kids. The revolving restaurant was cool. The potato casserole was good. The dessert was very good.

What we didn't like - The food for the most part was awful! The flank steak wasn't edible. I don't eat fish, but DH thought the catfish was just okay. And he's NOT a picky eater. The turkey was very dry. The kids don't like baked macaroni. Then the amount of time we were there was ridiculous! We had the very first ADR at 11:00. We finally left at 12:40. I had not planned on nearly 2 hours for lunch. Very slow service. Good, friendly people, but very slow!

I ended up eating chicken strips (from the kids selections) and the potato casserole. So I didn't leave hungry or anything.

We aren't going there this year. We may go back someday. Basically for the characters! But we are going to try Cape May this time to see Chip & Dale!

This year i was planning on doing my DD bday party princess but I think i'll do Mickey mouse clubouse instead and buy the mickey head burgers.... I usually do a pool party in my mothers backyard... it's big enough and has a pool... i can't wait....

 

[mari360]

what other TS meals have Chip and dale.... i wanted to take my DD to one but i'm afraid she'll think it's alvina nd the chipmunks she is into that movie right now... she walks around the house yelling "chickawawa chickawawa"

I got it at our local grocery store, County Market. I wasn't even looking for it, I didn't know they made such a thing. It says Disney's Mickey Pizza on the front. I just searched the box and found very small on the back - Frozen Specialties Inc. It'll probably be gross! But it sure is cute!!

I believe the only other one is Cape May and they are only there at breakfast, along with Minnie!

I have an ADR there at 9:30am on the 15th.

We have a dry erase board in the garage and everyday when he gets off the kindergarten bus I erase the amount of days and he puts in the new number!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

They have Chip & Dale listed as being at Cape May, Garden Grill, and Chef Mickey's. . . But they weren't at Chef Mickey's when we went last year. . .

[JoBird]

okay- sounds like Garden Grill is iffy-
hum...
what about places that have Pooh and Eeyore? Belle told me she has never seen them in the parks????? I thought we had? I have to look into this one.

Mari- the hamburgers sound cute. Good party idea! You can always find MM balloons and such, too.

Hum....

where to eat...

Cute idea-

I swiped tons of LGMH's and other colors last time we went to Home Depot to make a big countdown-
Huggie, I think you did this too, didn't you, for your Dec. trip?

I am going to make it with velcro on the back so we can use it over and over again.

I need to go grab some more- if I can get about 100 more, I am in business,
hahahaha.

Does everyone have their LGMH's ready t0o go? Are you doing snooty's again???

Thanks for that Shelly-

I'm going to print it out for reference.

Looks like they are only at buffets.

Maybe I can talk Mark into going to one of the first seatings one day...

We'll see.
