[mari360]

Yes lets think about meeting the mouse.... what a great time that will be.....I finally started packing today... i bought new clothes for DH, DD and myself so i put that in teh luggage... also i'm going to target today to but toiletries for vacation...

 

[mari360]

ooohhhh, in one month i will be eating at akershus princess breakfast getting ready to go to La Nouba that night!!!

I would love to go to la nouba but my DH isn't into that kind of stuff.... boo for me.... he actually got me tickets to go see Grease on broadway but he already told me that i need to find someone to go with... he's such a loser...

my dfi wasn't easy to persuade but. he gave in when we saw a special on it that shows that it's not just all "girly" acrobats, that they actually have some really cool stuff that they do...i'll give you a detailed play by play of the "manly" stuff, so maybe you can convince him to go next round

Yes lets think about meeting the mouse.... what a great time that will be.....I finally started packing today... i bought new clothes for DH, DD and myself so i put that in teh luggage... also i'm going to target today to but toiletries for vacation...

i bought all my toiletries at target too, but now i think that i am just going ship down all my half full stuff from home a week before so, then i don't have to worry about bringing it all back with me... i only bought a few new clothes for wdw, like some cotton capri pants from old navy and aeropostale... they're cute, but also WAY comfy because in my old age i am straying away from my fashion over function mentality

 

[mari360]

I'm the same way about fashion... i'd rather be comfortable... i only really dress up for going out to dinner or family functions and sundays (family days depending what we do) other then that i'll throw on my comfy clothes... Old navy has teh best clothes i'm actually looking for terry cloth or velor capris but i can't find any...

 

[rusafee1183]

old navy has some cute ones right now, idk about valour or terrycloth, but they had a lot of different capri's (actually bermuda shorts, which i like better anyways) last time i was there.... i can't wear shorts anymore, i'm too uncomfortable with showing my legs... uugghh

i need to start deciding what i'm gonna pack... i also bought 2 new sundresses, but i might just bring one of them we'll see how much room there is to pack... i'm think i'm going to try to minimize everything and do a few loads of laundry while we are at the pool one day i don't want to but, i also don't want to bring home dirty clothes and have to get right back to work the day AFTER vacation either...

i can't wait!!! i need a vacation...

 

[mari360]

i feel you RF... I want this vacation like right now...

 

[rusafee1183]

it's coming sooooooonnnnn!!! - - let me ask your opinion, how long do you think travel time will be from most of the parks to the reservations i have made... you don't have to be crazy specific, but now that i'm kinda freaked about my ressie times, i am realizing just how much time i may be spending... not only eating all these meals, but getting to and from... it seems like 5 hours a day JUST EATING and getting there...if i can't switch some of these times who knows i may end up canceling all of them and eating cs all week...

 

[Katiebell]

ooohhhh, in one month i will be eating at akershus princess breakfast getting ready to go to La Nouba that night!!!

Congrats! We loved both of those last year La Nouba was really amazing, and the princess breakfast was delicious and the princesses were so...so...princess-y!

Good morning Mayers! I owe, I owe, so off to work I go...

 

[mari360]

well you can leave your adr's the way they are if they can't change them and if you get to it great if not just catch a CS meal.... well it depends where you are.... i can't remember your ADR's right now....let me see if i can find them a couple of pages back...

 

[mari360]

Hi Katiebell..... i see no may this year... but i'm happy you are going in september... did you get the free dining...

 

[rusafee1183]

Good morning Mayers! I owe, I owe, so off to work I go...

haha i can't WAIT for la nouba, we are trying to pack sooo much stuff into our trip that i'm in the process of trying to cancel some adr's (after all they are just restaurants) so we can sleep a little more in the am and actually be places for rope drop... i'm not a professional wdw planner yet, but i'm learning and everyone around here has been super wonderful and helpful

 

[Katiebell]

Hi Katiebell..... i see no may this year... but i'm happy you are going in september... did you get the free dining...

Yes ma'am! We are staying at POFQ, and will be in AK on my birthday! Do you guys have an ADR post? I'd love to see where you are all going

(ok, ok, now I REALLY have to go to work! )

 

[rusafee1183]

well you can leave your adr's the way they are if they can't change them and if you get to it great if not just catch a CS meal.... well it depends where you are.... i can't remember your ADR's right now....let me see if i can find them a couple of pages back...

yeah, if i can't switch any times i will keep them as they are, but i am really rethinking all my breakfasts at least... i think we will be sick if we eat big buffets everyday... and the recent conversations about buffets have made me rethink things a bit... it's wdw so i'm sure they're better than most... but still...

 

[mari360]

yes go to the first post of the thread everyone's adr's are posted...

 

[mari360]

yeah maybe you can cancel some breakfast or lunches... sometimes i know well atleast my DH likes to eat a quick burger for lunch and keep moving... last year we had adr planned for tony's and Sci fi but he didn't want to wait around so we just grabbed a burger and fries. Yea you might not want to eat too much cause then you'll be stuffed and won't enjoy the parks i know when i'm stuffed i just want to relax...

this is ALL shelly's doing I am just transferring it (thanks for all you're hard work shelly!!! )

 

[mari360]

Yes ma'am! We are staying at POFQ, and will be in AK on my birthday! Do you guys have an ADR post? I'd love to see where you are all going

(ok, ok, now I REALLY have to go to work! )

i'm actually at work now... but my boss is one of my closest friends so if we aren't too busy he won't say anything to me... well come to think of it he won't say anything even if we are busy he knows i get my work done...

 

[rusafee1183]

yeah maybe you can cancel some breakfast or lunches... sometimes i know well atleast my DH likes to eat a quick burger for lunch and keep moving... last year we had adr planned for tony's and Sci fi but he didn't want to wait around so we just grabbed a burger and fries. Yea you might not want to eat too much cause then you'll be stuffed and won't enjoy the parks i know when i'm stuffed i just want to relax...

that's exactly what i am thinking... i just wish i would have booked the ddp instead of the dxdp ... ya live ya learn... but i feel like if i don't eat all TS that i am wasting my money... ya know... it's stupid, but i have the mentality that since i CAN eat 3 TS meals a day, that i SHOULD (which isn't really true, it's just food and the real reason i'm going is to see the parks and the attractions and the shows - - NOT the inside of a restaurant) i know that we'll have a great time whatever we do, i just want it to be the GREATEST time that we could possibly have... i'm way starting to overthink everything so, i'm just gonna call today and if it doesn't work out perfect - it will still be perfect enough for me

that's true... i was the same way about getting my money's worth... but i figured as long as all my meals are taken care of i'm fine. I love All inclusive vacations... if i can't make it to an adr then i can't. Don't rattle your brain over it you are there to have a good time. If you make it to all then great if not then oh well next time you'll go to that restaurant...
