My kids have forbidden me to speak of our Disney Trip..updated 5/17

[akayek31]

Ok so I was suppose to plan some of my trip this weekend. Well I seem to have become addicted to reading these Pre trip and trip reports . I read them to get ideas on what we will do. So as of now our first park will be The Magic Kingdom on my birthday. I want to eat somewhere nice but will not have the park hopper option on my tickets. So my choices are limited. I am not sure where i want to eat. I am thinking about LTT or Chef Mickey's. I guess I can always eat my birthday dinner on another day if I wanted to eat elsewhere. My kids will go wherever I choose so that is not an issue. So does anyone have any ideas out there for a wonderful birthday meal that is in the vacinity of the Magic Kingdom or by monorail that is not too expensive (even though I will have my birthday gift card ).

You have so many great options, Contemporary (Chef Mickey), Poly (Ohana), Grand Floridian (1900 Park Fare). You could do the Aloha dinner show, Cindy's Royal Table or Crystal Palace. It's your bday after all and it's your choice. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them, they are all good. You can also go to Downtown Disney or another resort. So many possibilities....

Hmmm, I forgot about the luau. Why don't you try it? I think your DD and DS would like that! I will show you my pics tomorrow!

I am hearing good things about the Wave at the Contemporary!! Haven't tried it but it seems to be a hit with those who have gone there !!

 

[akayek31]

Hi all. I have been lurking all day since I did not feel well and could not go to work I have been doing for most of my day...sleeping too. Anyway I have been reading some food reviews and am now thinking of cancelling Chef Mickey's (I know hlrababy...you told me so ) but I may want to go to the Cheesecake Factory now. I also want to try Earl of Sandwich and Beaches and Cream. I also think I want to go to the Princess Breakfast. I also have been subjected to my DS and his non stop chatter concerning his florida gators omg why did they have to win ok off to do more

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Hope your feeling better , it's a nice pastime on the DIS. I actually found the DIS when I was sick back in August. So glad I found it, there's a great group of people here. (especially hlrababy) I'm hooked!

It's not hard to change your mind about ADR's, there are too many good choices. I've read so many food reviews that everything sounds fabulous. You should go to Chef Mickey's sometime, I enjoyed it and so did my kids.

Where is the Cheesecake Factory? Is it at DTD? Cheesecake, I'm in....

Thanks. I didn't have what Amanda had. I think it was my body's way of telling me it was tired of working 7 days a week with no day off. But at least i found some more places to eat

[akayek31]

I got my 2009 disney dvd in the mail today! off to go watch it now

 

[akayek31]

So what does everyone think of plans so far? too much mk?

 

[luckylady]

Looks good so far. Look into the P&P party tho I have heard on several diffrent boards that disney has stoped for 2009. If you have park hoppers then going to MK more then once or twice isn't a problem. LOL I think it's only fair that DS goes to a princess breakfast if he is dragging you through gator land.

I didn't think of it that way i guess its only fair!

I was looking on the Hard Rock Hotel website and they have a special where you can stay 5 nights for the price of 3. I want to stay here so bad but do i need to waste 900 bucks that i could spend on other stuff. Originally the plan was to stay at the Best Western that is a only $400.

Uh, NO!!!!! I told you that this week!! Just stay at the best western!! Use the extra money for disney stuff!!

I know. I already found a better hotel for 414 for 7 days close to Universal. After the mouthful of cavities the dentist found in DS mouth i need a cheaper place

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I thought I found another person awake but you have gone to sleep I suspect.

Your plans look great. You can never have too much MK.

I read that they got rid of the Cheesecake Factory in DTD so I'm glad there's another location you can go to.

So you are staying off property? I know you can't stay at a Disney resort for that $$$.
