Just called today and got my diver sign set up for the Coral Reef for our trip in September. Thanks so much for the great info. I also tried to call last week, left a message, and didn't receive a return call. I called this morning and actually got someone. I suggest for those trying to get a diver sign at CR to just keep trying until you get someone.

Can't wait to hear more about your plans!

- head to MGM for Rope Drop

-morning toddler EMH at MK,

-Lunch At tusker house,

-Watch Mk Fireworks from the Contemporary ,

-Late Lunch at le cellier

I had a few silly questions,

Do all the parks have the Rope Drop? Do they make a big deal at MGM as in the other parks?? When the park has EMH in the morning what time do they have the Rope Drop??

I saw on the park hours about the "little ones" EMH, I guess that means you need to have a little one with you, is that right?

Will Tusker house be open in Sept? For some reason I thought it was closed cause they are remodeling.

Where in the Contemporary do you what the fireworks from??

You are so lucky you got Le Cellier in Sept, I have been trying to get a table since over a month ago and nothing.

Anyway, in advance thanks for answering my questions

Those outfits are adorable!!! That is great that you can just sew for your little girl and not get so overwhelmed.

I will be there with my daughter (11) and sister in September for the free dining too. We will be at Coronado Springs from the 1-12. We are so excited, and cannot wait! Great trip report, keep it up!

Hey Michelle2,
Thanks for reading!!! You guys have fun on your magical trip

Amanda, I love the outfits. I called Coral Reef on Wednesday and got an answering machine. I left my name, number and why I was calling and haven't heard back yet. I guess I will try again next week.

Hey jbmom
Yes keep trying , Call back tomorrow !! Thanks About the outfits !!
~Amanda

Hi, Amanda!

Thank you, again, for the Coral Reef info. I called on Wednesday and got an answering machine. I left my name, number, etc. I hadn't heard anything by Thursday afternoon, so I called back. When I called, Nicholas answered. I asked to speak to the two you mentioned, but Debbi wasn't available and I was told the other lady no longer works there. So, Nicholas helped me out. He was great!! He helped me pick what to have on the sign and gave me instructions for the menu.

A couple quick questions...

Did you get an e-mail back after sending the pictures? I wasn't sure how that worked. Also, will all 3 of us get a personalized menu or just my mother and sister? Again, I'm not sure how all of this works. I'm really excited to do this. This is the one restaurant my mother really wanted to try. I'm hoping it turns out to be a good experience.

BTW - your daughter is adorable!! Those outfits are so cute!

Hey mvazul
I'm glad you got someone to help you Yes after i email my photo's she emailed me back to tell me they would work great, I sent her 15 photo's Haha ... So She had alot to work with .. If you're worried about it , it wouldn't hurt to email them back just to ask & to make sure they got your 1st email..
thanks!! & Thanks for reading
~Amanda

That is so awesome. Keep us posted. I hope he gets it!

hey Carrieannew

I just wanted to say great pre-tr. I had the divers sign and menu for my parents in May. I got them a divers sign which I set up with Meredith and then set the menus up with debbi. Everything turned out sooo nice and i give all my credit to DIS. In my emails to debbi i mentioned we were going there for my college graduation and on the back of the divers sign for my parents she had put in some extra disney magic and typed up "congrats on your college graduation from the CR" so needless to say it was the best meal our whole trip and we got to keep our divers sign and my parents loved the menus of pics of my brother and I from our WDW trips from when we were 2 until now (ages 22 and 20). I hope your visit to CR is just as nice as ours was!!!!

Hey TinkerbellLuvr7

hey crarmy
- Yes every park does some form of rope drop.
- There's nobody there checking ages, but it is intended for pre-school aged children ,Only Fantasyland is open . So The little ones have time with characters so they are not rushed , They get to run around & Play with the characters even ride the rides with the characters... But The characters will not pose for a photos but you can take photo's of them playing together ..
here the link about it
http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/specialEvents?id=LittleOnesTravelTimeSpecialEventPage
- Your right Tusker House is closing on August 20 so we will will be having to find a new place to eat that day thats sad, very Sad We love that place ..
-We go out on the outside deck of the Contemporary to watch the fireworks the doors are near the shops its really nice out there ...
- when i found out i was going, i knew i had to call Befoe everyone else called , so i call and got my ADR's for Le Cellier months ago .. Good luck hope you get to eat there too
Hope i answered your questions if you have anymore please ask i will be happy to help

Amanda,
Just wanted to say that I really am enjoying your TR. The outfits that you made for your daughter are adorable. You are very talented. We are still working out our dates for our MNSSHP trip, we may be there the same time as you. This trip will be a group of 4-5 adult women, all related, sister/sisters in law. We went end of Oct last year and had so much fun. I am trying to get room only reservation with summer special rates. Keep up with the great ideas.

 

[BlakeNJ]

Thanks for sharing the Coral Reef info. Sweet of you! It's one of our favorite places to eat and the kids love it too. Too bad I have over a year to wait...

Great trip report!

[bentleygirl22]

Hey everyone .. 1st i would like to thank you all for reading my pre report ....

2nd we have 58 more days till disney

Update on Hubby, My hubby didn't get it But its ok !! we are keeping our heads up. We will get back there one day. Till then its just a waiting game

Last update i told you i was busy with cheer camp ... Alexis & The other girls did great... they learned at lot

My Cheer team are the ones with the orange poms on their shoes.


Ok you guys i need to vent alittle ...
Alexis informed me that she no longer wants me to sew for her anymore . That she is going into kindergarten, that she wants to be like the other girls and onlying wear things from the mall... she said she still wants to wear bows but no clothes that i make So i guess my little girl is growing up I guess I will no longer be sewing for her ... I guess i shouldn't be upset because I do get to take the easy root, But i had big plans for outfits for school & disney Oh Well I guess this time i can just buy her some cute tees from disney store for our disney trip but WHY ???? Why do they have to grow up so fast

Till next time
~Amanda

 

[crarmy]

I am so sorry to hear about the promotion, but definitely keep your heads up!!

Your daughter said what??
Hopefully she will change her mind, my little one is going on to first grade and shopping for school clothes has been so hard, cause she is past size 5T and the bigger sizes makes the little girls look all grown up. The have plenty of time for that. Maybe you can sneak an outfit here and there.

BTW thanks for the Coral Reef idea, I was able to get ADR for my older daughter (We are going for sweet 16) and have it all set up!! I am so excited about surprising her with that. Thanks a bunch!!

 

[Marshay]

Loving your TR...just finished it tonight. We'll be at BCV and AKV Sept 16-25 and trying the DDP for the first time (not free since we are using our DVC points).

I love the outfits!!! I think they are adorable and wish I could make such clever ones, esp for Disney.

What?? Your DD doesn't want them anymore? She's growing up??? Say it isn't so!!!! My DD just turned 2 -- any secrets to keeping her from growing older????

 

[SerinaEmily]

Gotta sub to your trip report Can't wait to read more!

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

I am subbing as well! I lOVE the outfits, i am attempting some customs myself
Sorry about the promo...maybe something better will come along.

 

[aksunshine]

Subbibg! I have a Coral Reef surprise planned too! Shhhh! Awww.... so sorry about the promotion.

I just started sewing for Isabelle, luckily she loves it right now! She'll be wearing some things to Disney and I have plans for a great First Day of Kindergarten outfit!

Don't forget to add in our Glow party on the 22nd!
