My first attempt at a Pre-Trip Report, we are back, see last page for link to TR

[lovethattink]

Congratulations! I see your title has changed to include another Disney trip in November!! Will that be another POP trip? I hope you got a great AP rate!!

I am super excited. I am 2nd guessing online check in though?

Between my indecisiveness with shoes, ADR's, & clothes, I am surpised my head didn't spin off!!

I love the Dooney bag, it is just too cute!

Congrats on the Dooney bag! I don't remember seeing a green one, but the purple one caught my eye. Did you get a bag with a zipper or snap closure?

I'm in

Excited to read a report from another local... I want to do one, but I've just "learned" about the disboards and don't know what i'm doing just yet

Me and the DBF both have APs and I've been to Disney more this year than I have in my entire life LOL and I was born and raised in the same small town LOL

There is a DISboard group and a facebook group for central Florida DISboarders. We meet up at least once a month. There's a group of us going to the MK tomorrow. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2623957

I subscribed to your PTR a little while ago and meant to read it, but things kept getting in the way.

I'm sorry about your heart problem. I hope that it doesn't bother you too much during the trip.

I love your plan of watching Wishes from the Poly beach. We did it on our trip and LOVED it. It was so relaxing and beautiful!

Thanks for subbing. I am not sure if I told you on your wedding/PTR but your wedding was so beautiful and you were such a beautiful bride.

I got the Wishes from Poly idea from several people, and I think one of them was you actually. I changed my dinner ADR for Kona Cafe so we could go to the beach right after dinner. I am looking forward to drinking a Lapu Lapu while watching Wishes.

Yeppers, it is another POP trip. We are only going 2 days for F&W but I am looking foward to it because I have never done a F&W and the food options look YUMMO!!

It is a green sketch wristlet with the snap. I have decided it will be my countdown bag. For every trip we go on, I will use it starting 10 days before we leave (the same day I can do the online check in).

I joined that group. I haven't said anything yet, but I love reading everyone's comments. I hope to meet with you guys later this year. Are you going for the Oct 1st meet? I read about it, but I wasn't sure if the Central Florida Disboarders were organizing that one or someone else?
Thanks for all the info you have given me!! You have been wonderful!!

Apparently there are 2 separate Oct 1 DIS meets. Not sure if they will both cross paths or not. One is being organized by the October DISers and the other by the central FL DISers.

My son has Epilepsy and it's hard to plan things in advance. I hope to go, but it will depend on his health.

When are you at Pop in Nov? We are at POP in NOV too, for a 3 night weekend.

I like your idea about the bag!

I'll write a bigger review of Kona when I actually start my TR, but for now let me just say that the bread is AWESOME. Mmm, so yummy!

Less than a week before you leave.

We are going Nov 1 & 2. Probably won't be at POP much though. We are gonna check in early (around 9am or 10am), then take bus to EPCOT so we can start eating when WS opens. After EPCOT closes we will probably go back to POP and relax pool side til they kick us out!!
Then repeat for next day.

I hope your son is well, and you can go!!

I am so excited!! 5 more days til we leave, 3 more days of work. I am getting antzy and I am really distracted at work right now!! I don't want to be here but I have to be. Monday at 3pm needs to get here, now!!

Did you enjoy your entrees and the rest of your meal at Kona Cafe? Some items on the menu look good, but I am worried?

DH really enjoyed his meal at Kona Cafe. I like it too, just not as much as him, except for that bread! We would definitely go back.

 

[janabananas]

Awesome thanks for the info!!

I wanted to have dinner at the Poly and Ohana is all booked up that night. Kona seems to have a "more adult" vibe then Ohana does. Is that true? We are hoping for a nice, quiet meal. I doubt it will be completely quiet but with less going on then Ohana with the special stuff they do there.

 

[janabananas]

So I think I am all planned out.....

I am pretty sure I got all I need. Maybe I am just tired and don't have the brain-energy to plan anymore.

Work has been so horrifically busy that my brain feels like mush.


I want to "go home" to my happy place!!!

Ours is mid-Nov. But I think we will have to cancel. Looks like in-laws are coming to visit and they are not Disney fans. Either then or they are coming during the time period we were going to stay at POFQ in Dec.

We got to the central FL dismeet today at MK. Just a few of us went. We had a great time. My son did great. It felt a little cooler out today and it was overcast until about 3 pm. Once that sun came out it got soooo much hotter, and we headed home.

I haven't been to Ohana during dinner, but since Kona doesn't have any of the entertainment than I would guess that yes, it is quieter. It must also depend on where you are sitting, we were in a nice booth in a corner close to the dessert counter, so a very nice and more intimate place.

Awesome, thanks for the info! I will ask if we can get something in that area.

Yeah I know that feeling! It makes me feel like I'm forgetting something major.

 

[janabananas]

So I have decided that I must sacrifice a bit of Disney money for my sanity....!!

I have been scrimping and saving for this trip, working 45-50 hours a week for the past 3 months. I cannot do it anymore.... I am supposed to work til
3pm today, but I just can't do it.... I really can't!!! I am exasperated. I just cannot work 2 more hours..... I am going kookoo for cocoa puffs

Tomorrow is really gonna suck if I feel like this today!!

I hope this decision isn't detrimental to my vacation.

 

[janabananas]

I am leaving tomorrow!!! Super excited!! So much to do, so little time!! Yikes!!

 

[teekathepony]

Tomorrow!!?? Holy cow! Have an amazing trip!!

 

[lovethattink]

Have a wonderful trip! I hope you get some R&R while you are there. You have been working super hard and deserve the best vacation ever!

 

[ronnmel]

Have fun!!!
