Could I really be considering changing an ADR this late in the game???

OMG, what ADR are you thinking about changing??? I have been thinking the same thing! LOL!

 

[Paparazzimama]

So here’s my latest ADR doubt . . . Liberty Tree Tavern. At the time that we booked it, the lunch was still a character meal so it kind of sold me over the other MK restaurants. But, my only options other than LTT and CP (already eating there) are Tony’s Town Square and The Plaza????? And I haven’t really heard enough about either of them to really consider it. The other thought I was pondering is that other than the BBB, we really don’t have to be in MK that day. We will have already visited all 4 parks at this point, so we really could go wherever we want! We could really eat lunch at anywhere in other words. DH and I really don’t like the idea of using one of our meal credits for a CS (want to get the absolute MOST out of the DxDDP) so we’re looking for a TS place. Would love to hear any thoughts/suggestions.

Saw your PTR link in your signature, I'm in!!

Woohoo!!! Come on in and take your coat off!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Love the pictures of all the loot - always exciting to see everything all in one spot! I've never seen the travel size Downy Wrinkle Releaser - great idea!

As far as your LTT reservation - we've never eaten there and now I wish I would have while it was a character meal. We've eaten at Tony's and though it gets many bad reviews we really enjoyed it!

The rest of your plans look great!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Oh, and I forgot to ask, where did you get those rain coat/ponchos? They are cute.

 

[Paparazzimama]

Okay, so I have made an ADR change! I knew it was only a matter of time before I would find a reason to call a CM! Oh, and he was such a good one, too – wish I had gotten his name. . . anyhoo, I was able to score us an ADR for Boma’s breakfast buffet at 9:45a.m. on Monday. So my “DAY 5” now looks like this:

DAY 5

Girls go to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at 8:15a.m.
Breakfast at Boma – 9:45a.m.
Park hop to wherever we feel like (maybe hop over to HS and grab fastpasses for RnR and ToT to use during EMH)
Go back to resort around 3:00 for swim, rest, showers
Dinner at 1900 Park Fare – 7:30p.m.
Go to EMH at Hollywood Studios

So what do you think? I’ve heard lots of great things and seen some delicious pictures of Boma’s breakfast buffet so I think we made a good switch!

The Downy was with the other travel size things at Wal-Mart, otherwise I never would have thought of it.

I got them at the "Family Dollar" by my house. I would be happy to look and see if they have any more if you don't have one of those stores near you. They were only $4 which I found to be great considering they had Disney characters on them!

Thanks for the offer - that was very nice of you. I just looked up Family Dollar online and we have a few in our area so I will check it out. Thanks again!

I am in!

friend! Glad to have you two along!

We had so much going on last night that I didn't have time to take pictures of those other pieces of clothing that I was missing. But, I got this off of the old navy website to show you. This is the dress that Brooke is going to wear to Hoop-Dee-Doo! The pattern along the bottom is like that of a bandana - super cute on her too!!!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Cute dress! Perfect for Hoop Dee Doo!

I wonder if they still have them?!?!

I got it at the one on Siegen - you should check it out. Or order one on-line?

Hi Melonie! I followed you over from your DBFF's pre-trip! I recognized you in one of your pictures - I think you may have posted on my Thanksgiving trip report. I think so anyways. Your family is beautiful and I'm really enjoying your pre-trip! Can't wait to hear how everything works out! I feel like I have stumbled onto a really good trip report! (Well, 2 of them actually) Are you and Katie going to do a joint TR or just keep them in two separate ones for the trip portion too?

Love all the outfits/shirts/travel stuff! And your itinerary sounds perfect! Love your daily outline - might have to steal it if you don't mind!

Can't wait to read more!

Hi, Sara! Yes, I do remember your "herding cats" trip report. I'm so glad you came over to my PTR! Katie and I are going to do 2 separate trip reports - it's so hard to keep a group of 9 together in the parks that I will imagine our families will be apart a good bit. Of course, we will all have the same ADRs - oooh, so maybe we could do a joint dining review. That would be fun! I think my DH wants to get on here this weekend and add some comments so keep watching for that.

Thanks for the compliments on my family. And go right ahead and "dis-lift" that daily outline girl! I would be honored!

 

[Paparazzimama]

Cute dress! Perfect for Hoop Dee Doo!

Thanks! I can't wait to post pics of their outfits for each day - I'm so proud of all my finds for this trip! Of course, not having to shop for any clothes for DH and myself left alot more spending room for the kiddos which is always fun!

Split apart? What's that? I only travel with families that have to STAY TOGETHER THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME!!!!



This is going to be a lot of fun! I'm so glad I found your report! I'm going back in October with just my own hubby and kids (plus 3 grandparents ) but it should be slightly less "herd-ish". Just hoping I can get my MIL to "walk with purpose" when I need her to! Not all the time, but on occasion I might need her to not "walk like she's drinking a latte"!

Looking forward to more...

Too funny!!!! You'll have to let us know how the MIL situation works out for you!
