Hopefully you'll be able to score an earlier ADR between now and when you leave. You could always show up early and hope they seat you...

Ya I figure I will go there around 9 and hope they seat us, but I still have lots of time so I think I will be able to get an earlier one

So today is Canada Day here in Canada and the kids and I will be off to a park somewhere to eat really bad food, watch some performers and catch the fireworks.

Yesterday I was reading a TR and my mom was looking and asked what I was looking at, it just happened to be pics of dinner at 'Ohana. She was interested in all the food she saw and asked "where have a reservation there don't we?"

I told her we have a breakfast reservation there and the sad little look on her face so I asked her if she would like me to try to get a dinner ADR there and she said sure if I can

So I go on the Disney site and the only night I can fit it in is our arrival night and the only time available is 9:30pm

Now I have read on here the kids activities stop at 9:30 so I am going to try everyday to get an earlier ADR. Wishes that night is at 10 so it might be nice to see it from 'Ohana. Has anyone eaten there that late? if so what is it like?

well here is hoping you can get an earlier time! it is a rather heavy meal to be eating so late. although DH and i did get to catch WISHES from our window side table from Ohana and it was pretty magical!!

I keep trying every day but no luck so far... I still have 5 months so hopefully around the 45 day mark something will come up

Well since my mom was making me add stuff I thought I would make a couple of changes (and I thought I had it how I liked it )

So I was looking at airfare and to get there in the morning of the 4th the airfare is almost twice as much, so on a whim I looked at the airfare on the 3rd and getting there early evening on the 3rd is cheaper. So the hamster wheel in my head started turning and I thought maybe I can add a night at Pop for the 3rd and just hop on the bus to the Poly the next day. I haven't added it or bought the airfare yet but I'm thinking that will be the plan.

Now if I do add this day then I am going to go to DHS on the 4th instead of the morning of the 5th, this way we can relax on our MVMCP morning and check out the resort, plus we will be back with plenty of time to make our Ohana ressie at 9:30pm . So I have made a Hollywood and Vine reservation for the 4th as well and will cancel whatever one we don't use.

I have decided to have a plan B in case I can't get LeCellier for CLP on the 10th. I have a LeC ressie that I will keep and I will try for Coral Reef lunch CLP that we will pay OOP for

Things are really starting to come together

Now just so you know I am crazy I want to take the girls next Oct for MNSSHP so I was thinking of upgrading our tickets to AP's. Then I was looking at staying at Pop with dining plan for 10 days and it seemed really inexpensive ( maybe cause we keep staying deluxe, but if I am there 10 nights we can go slow )

So I looked at cruise prices
I can do 10 nights at Pop and dining plus a 4 night cruise on the Dream for less than the vacation this Dec will cost

I am so excited for the cruise.... Oh and my mom heard me talking about it and decided she would want to go on that trip as well, what have I done to her?????

 

[Tinkermom76]

Here is the new schedule:

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Pop on the 3rd?

AP's and Pop for 10 days next year with the MNSSHP?

A cruise?!

WOW!!

 

[amandatym]

Wow, can I just say, you are incredibly organized. I'm really impressed!
Also, I'm really jealous that you might get to do a cruise! We tried to do one for our honeymoon but the times just didn't work out.
Can't wait to read more!

I know... I AM SO EXCITED.... IS IT OCT 2011 YET????

I'm thinking since I have an AP I will have to get a girls trip started for next may!!!

I am organized to a fault... if you read a few pages back I was telling Reese that this is the tame schedule... I have an hourly one too

I was going to wait till the year after to do a cruise and just do the cruise but the kids are only young once and I really want a cruise so what the heck

I watch that Toddlers and Tiaras show and they spend way more on pageants than I spend on Disney

Your 2011 trip looks great!! You will love MNSSHP and will LOVE the cruise!! You can't go wrong with either!!!

We won't be back to Disney for a while after this trip but DH has been looking at a Firefighter's cruise in October, 2011. So it looks like we will be going on an adult only 7 day cruise to Bermuda!! He told me today to go ahead and book it!! We also have several friends that are planning on going as well.

I want to do the cruise too!!! One day!!! Yep we leave next month for 6 days!!! Devon and I are taking my brother for his 21st birthday!!! The PTR is mixed in with my december PTR. Figured it be easier that way! Check it out... The link is in my signature and I just posted the plans for the trip!!!

 

[klacey1]

So exciting that your 2011 trip is all worked out!! We were set on August for next year, but our August trip this year got pushed to November, so depending how much we like November (and my job situation, which may change), our trip might get pushed back. Nevertheless, I'm still already planning that trip!!

I have never been in Nov but if it is like Dec you will love it!!!

I'm excited to try a different time of year, maybe sometime I will be brave enough to take a summer trip

Yes, I feel very blessed with being able to go 2x this year. But if weren't for the free tickets I got to Universal and the GAD tickets we wouldn't have been able to swing it! Man its amazing how much the tickets run up the total of your vacation. I am now just realizing they are 1/2 the cost!!!

 

[praisehisname]

Congrats on the trip for next year--fuzzy Disney math at it's best! You will love the cruise! We have done the Wonder and the Magic, and in 2012 we're doing the Dream for DS's high school graduation.

I know that's why it makes sense for me to upgrade our Dec tix to AP's, then I will also hopefully get an AP rate on the room

I am soooooooo excited about the cruise. It will be the Dream and Eryka keeps watching the video of the slide

I hear ya!!! I was thinking of looking into the AP's for our december trip too now that we have the annual pass to Universal! The issue is is that we are booked with My friend and her son, so unless she does it to we would totally have to rework the entire trip and honestly, I'm all about saving a penny, but I just don't have the energy to deal with that right now!

But I am definitely looking into for our next trip. Did you see they have the payment system now for the AP's?? That's huge!

Don't quote me but I think when you get there you can upgrade just yours after you use them once

I'm not sure if mom will upgrade or not, I told her if she wants to come with us next year she will have to
