Hello! I know it is way too early to seriously start my report but I am so excited about our ADR's, I just had to share. :cool1: :banana: :woohoo: I knew you all would understand! After this initial "hello", I will be back a few weeks before our trip! :goodvibes

For those of you that read my last report, you know that DS12 and I went to the World for 11 days of Deluxe Dining while Dad stayed home, a slave to his job! :laughing: Here we are from last trip:

This year we decided not only that we would bring him, but that we would brave the crowds and go Christmas week. :scared1:

Cast of characters -

me - Mom, 45 and lover of all things Disney. Often been accused of being obsessed. I admit that I am a bit Pooh sized but working on it. Willing to try most things once but do not really like seafood, lamb or veal. Love all veggies, pasta & a good steak.

DS will be 13, almost 14 this trip. He has always preferred filet mignon to McD's. Willing to try most meats but not a huge veggie fan. He's working on it though. Tried many new foods last trip and is looking forward to doing the same this trip.

DH - Dad, 44. Likes Disney but nearly as much as I do. He says no one can like it as much as I do but he doesn't spend time here on the Dis! ;) He truly will eat just about anything but isn't a fan of real spicy food. Tends to order fish/seafood since I don't cook it at home but also loves a good steak.

DH and I will be celebrating 21 years together this trip ... wow, time sure flies! :lovestruc

We have the DxDDP again and I had wanted to make it my mission to try as many new restaurants as we could this trip. But we realized that we will probably not be taking a trip in 2010 so I ended up mixing some old favorites with the new. Really wanted to hit all the signatures and as planned we will only miss Narcoossee's (Been to Brown Derby on previous trips).

So where are we eating?

Whew! Once again, a lot of food. We tend to not eat much at the character breakfasts and really only go for the characters. I should say, "I" go for the characters. It is a huge part of the trip for me and DH & DS willingly tolerate it. It's better than standing in line, right? Yes, that would be me if I didn't get my fix at meal times! :rolleyes1

You have my vow to take a picture of EVERYTHING that we will eat!

So hopefully some of you will come back with me in December! Only 81 days til our trip (which means 81 days til Christmas! :santa:)
 
Wow, what a great line up of ADRs. Looks like it will be an awesome trip!
 

Awesome! Count me in :thumbsup2

You will LOVE LOVE LOVE Flying Fish...it is DH's favorite place now and he is madly in love with the NY Strip

Your review is what cemented our wanting to eat there. DH cannot wait for the filet and DS and I are going to be brave enough to try the snapper and maybe the scallops. This is the one restaurant we are absolutely most looking forward to!
 
I just finished reading your 1st report and have signed on for the wait for Christmas on this one! :thumbsup2
 
Oh, fun! Have a wonderful Christmas at the World!
Very excited for the reviews-- you have some great places. Don't be surprised if you LOVE T-rex! It was one of our absolute favorites-- don't be afraid to try their steaks!
Actually-- I think you may have commented on my Dining review thread, so you have have seen me gush about T-Rex, haha!
 
One month til our trip! I have made several changes to our plans. First post edited to reflect hopefully our final line up.

After reading Nicki's review, I just had to add Liberty Tree! :goodvibes

Yay! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! The only thing missing was hot soft rolls to sop up all the gravy!
 
Count me in for the "ride" as well. Can't miss a Christmas at Disney review! :goodvibes
 
Not long to go now :cool1: our trip already seems like a lifetime away !

And ours still seems like a lifetime away! It just cannot get here soon enough!

I can't imagine that we won't. Everything looked so good!

Welcome! I have been enjoying your review as well!
 
Great line up of ADRs - I'm in
Sounds like you are going to have a Very Merry Christmas :cool1:
 
Ok, one final change. My Mom is giving us extra spending money as a Christmas gift so I booked Il Mulino for Christmas night! :cool1:

I know my men wanted to eat Chinese but I really can't say I am thrilled with having Christmas dinner at Nine Dragons. We can always go by and grab a counter service snack! :rotfl:
 
what a wonderful line up, looking forward to reading all about it, off to read your other report now!:surfweb:
