Next trip I'm booking a resort w/out a pool! *Pg 25 Final DxDP numbers & last update!

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Booo I'm sorry your DH got sick from Ohana (particularly after he posted such a jubilant Facebook update! )

I gave up on Fantasmic several years ago. Too much hassle, uncomfortable seating, and honestly, I don't really enjoy the show all that much lol (Sorcery in the Sky was leagues better, IMHO )

 

[basketkat]

Yeah for a new car!!!

And that Mickey sticker is too cute!!!

I really like that shirt...must...resist...Old Navy!

 

[amandaw]

My DH wanted to try 'Ohana on our last trip but I couldn't get us an ADR that was early enough for our son. Think we'll have to try it on the next trip, hopefully. But, I will use your DH as a warning to mine as to what can happen when you eat to much of the food - I can so see my DH doing the same thing! I couldn't get over the lines for F! while we were there! I know our trip overlapped with yours - was this on Tuesday, May 3rd? We were in DHS that day & I so wanted to take Reid to see F! but there was no way I was waiting in that line, even though I love the show. Plus, I figured he would maybe be scared.

 

[beebeeryan]

Yikes feeling sick after eating too much, not fun. Your DH sounds like mine though, he would have done the same, leaving me with the kids and taking off because he couldn't deal with the crowds.

Wilderness Lodge had pool parties with games and stuff every afternoon last August. My kids didn't participate, but it was fun watching what was going on and the music.

 

[Motocross Tink]

Glad you liked Ohana's ,but poor DH! We've only seen Fantasmic once but it was great!

 

[AKL LOVER]

Pool Party - CSR had this too, it was fun!

Fantasmic - Too bad DH and DD left, it is a great show. If you can convince them to see it on another trip try and go on a night when they have a second show. There is no need to wait in a two hour line if you go to the late show.

I'm glad to know they are doing this at other resorts...I hope they keep this around since it was so much fun!!

I'm hoping on the next trip the kids will be old enough to stay up later--that's the only downfall to the second show. Otherwise we would have done that long before now. Even at Disney my kids still go to bed pretty early. Well, what most would consider early for Disney at least. In past trips they were in bed by 8 or 9. This trip they finally made it to 10:30 on one or 2 nights.

this update sounds familiar to me... one of the reasons are that my dh ate too much at ohanas and felt ill afterwards too.
I'm curious- did they charge you for either of your children?

i felt the same way about IASW as your dh (and my dh) do- however, James was in love with it as an infant so now i love it!

They did not charge us for the kids. After the server brought out the bowl of ice cream I expected to see a small charge for that, but not that either. She was a great server!

Sorry to hear that your DH over ate and wasn't feeling well. That's never fun, and I'm guilty of it at WDW as well. Glad to hear you saw F! I absolutely loved it! (Saw it for first time this year myself.) I'm not sure I would have had the motivation to wait 2 hours - so good for you! And glad you didn't have to watch alone!
And that drink looks awesome!

2 hours was a little ridiculous now that I think about it. But I really really really wanted to see it! And don't feel too bad for DH--it was his own fault!

BTW, that drink was awesome!! I felt like a bit of a lush drinking it, but hey, we were on vacation and what else are vacations for???

Ahhh, nothing like a case of the 'Ohana sickness... it has taken us three times to learn how to eat there without leaving ill!

As I was reading about your Fantasmic! experience, I had deja vu. Then I remembered that you told us about it in Epcot!

3 times?? Uh-oh. I won't mention that to DH. He's already put that one on his request for next trip. He's convinced he will do a better job of pacing himself.

Booo I'm sorry your DH got sick from Ohana (particularly after he posted such a jubilant Facebook update! )

I gave up on Fantasmic several years ago. Too much hassle, uncomfortable seating, and honestly, I don't really enjoy the show all that much lol (Sorcery in the Sky was leagues better, IMHO )

I think he was getting a little overzealous there when he posted on FB so early in the night.

On our past trips F! has always been a hassel and we've always ended up skipping it. That's why I was so determined to see it finally on this trip!

Yeah for a new car!!!

And that Mickey sticker is too cute!!!

I really like that shirt...must...resist...Old Navy!

Ah, if you can resist Old Navy, then you are a better woman than I...

YES it was May 3!! Can you believe that I got suckered into that line?? No wonder my DH made a beeline for the hotel early!!

If you get the chance, definitely try Ohana. The food was delicious. Even DH will admit that. We almost didn't try Ohana this trip. I had booked a MM F! dining package for that night. But I really really really wanted to try Ohana, and they only had ADRs for after 8 by the time I started looking which wouldn't work for F! Finally I snagged a 5:15 ADR for that day. Then of course I went back and forth about keeping my F! dining package (and reserved seating) or not. MM was the only dinner I would consider giving up to fit in Ohana. In hind sight, I should have probably kept the package b/c then I wouldn't have had to subject DH to that line. I think if we ever do F! again, we'd definitely do the package.

This is going to come up in my next post...crowds. At least he took one of the kids though so it wasn't too bad. He actually offered to take both of them, but I felt silly staying for the show by myself, so that's why I talked DS into it. He's younger and easier to convince. I think the ladies sitting behind me were the key in convincing him--he was very enthralled with what they were telling him about the show since they had seen it before! Where ever you are out there random ladies from F!--Thank you!!

Glad you liked Ohana's ,but poor DH! We've only seen Fantasmic once but it was great!

Good thing my DH doesn't get on the DIS and read these posts. He would be feeling very full of himself right now with all you ladies feeling bad for him!

I figured it had to be the same day we were there! I couldn't get over how crazy that line was. We actually had a CS meal right there at Rosie's All-American Cafe. I swear - people started lining up a little after 6pm for the 9pm show! I really couldn't believe it. I really wanted to take Reid to it because it's my favorite of the end-of-the-day park shows. I love that it has the villains in it. But, I knew Reid probably would be a little scared. I'm glad you got to see it though & that DS stayed with you!

I'm definitely going to get us in to 'Ohana one day. I think my DH would really enjoy it. That's great that you were able to get an early ADR. When I was looking, everything was after 9pm!

That's a great thought about the F! package. I'll have to consider that option as well in the future!

 

[sahm2two]

O'hana is on my list of places to go next time... looks so good! I wasn't able to get an ADR even with all my stalking. The night we went to Kona there were tons of people out waiting for O'hana!

Subbing!

Let me tell you, I had to STALK the Disney dining reservation system on mone for WEEKS before I got that Ohana ADR! Next time I will be smart and book it 180 days out like all the other hard to get ADRs!!

The reserved section seats are to the right of the amphitheater and I have heard good and bad things about them (ie your view of the show from them). Never having seen them for myself, I really didn't want to be disappointed with bad seat and I really wanted to try Ohana, so we dropped the package. Now that I've seen where the seats are--they would be completely fine to see the show. I would have no problem booking the package next time and sitting in those seats!

O'hana is on my list of places to go next time... looks so good! I wasn't able to get an ADR even with all my stalking. The night we went to Kona there were tons of people out waiting for O'hana!

It was pure luck (or maybe pixie dust??) that I got mine at 8 weeks out. There were a ton of people waiting to get into Ohana the night we were there too. I was worried that our wait would be super long because of it, but thankfully it wasn't! We got called back right away even though the other people were sitting there waiting before we arrived. I'm thinking that they were either 1) walk-ups, waiting for a table or 2) got there early but had a later ADR than us.

Subbing!

Thanks for joining in!

So when planning my trip, I knew that I wanted to do a better job of keeping all of our dining/snack receipts so I could track how much we actually saved with the DxDP. On our past 3 trips, DS was under 3 so he was always free. Because of this, we always knew we were coming out ahead, but this time I wasn't so sure. To see our costs I thought I would post a DxDP summary update at the end of each "day".


Would we pay more on the DxDP with 2 kids? Would we break even? Or would we save??? Let's find out through some fuzzy Disney math!


Day 1

Refillable mug 13.99 x 4 = 55.96

Dinner at the Mara:
Chicken flatbread: 8.19
Chicken tender meal: 7.89
Cheese cake: 3.19
Friut cup: 3.19
1 bottle of water: 2.50
1 apple juice: 2.59
Total w/ tax: 29.90

Total for Day 1: 83.51



Day 2

Crystal Palace:
3 Adult breakfasts 68.97**
tax: 4.49
Total: 73.46

Snack in Frontierland:
2 bottles of water: 5.00
Pretzel: 4.00
Total w/ tax: 10.00

Snacks at the Mara:
Chips: 2.69
Chips: 2.69
Bowl of crab soup: 2.79
Total w/ tax: 9.00

Dinner at Ohana:
2 Adult dinners: 65.98
Tax: 5.95
Total: 71.93
2 Lapu Lapu: 25.50

Snack at Fantasmic:
Cotton candy: 3.50
Sprite: 2.49
Popcorn: 3.25
Total w/ tax: 10.25

Total for Day 2: 174.64 (not including Lapu Lapus)


At a cost of $202 a day, the DxDP doesn't seem like it was the way to go for us. But have no fear ladies! We have plenty of other 2TS restaurants to visit during our week, so perhaps we can make up some ground!


**Just now looking at my receipts, I noticed that we were only charged for 3 breakfasts at CP. And 3 adult ones at that. I guess the server thought that DS was under 3? But then why did she charge DD for an adult breakfast? Obviously I didn't notice until now and it wasn't a big deal because we were on DxDP. However, this CP breakfast does come back to haunt us later in the trip...

[Moira222]

Our it's-finally-time-to-travel-to-Disney-day dawned with plenty to do. I had to go into work for an hour or so to get things situated for the week (I teach 7th grade Science). DH had to go into work for an hour or so as well to get things situated at his job. Our flight didn't leave until later in the afternoon, but needless to say I was anxious to get on a plane at like 6 a.m.!! I even seriously debated showing up to the airport early to see if they would put us on an earlier flight

I decided that there is a benefit to leaving at 6 am --- I remember being absolutely jumpy all day with excitement trying to get through my to do lists.

Finally we arrive at the Lodge:
After getting off ME we look around, but a CL cast member was NOT waiting to greet us like they told us. Minus one for CL. So we walk in and walk up to the registration desk and I told the CM that we were CL guests. Supposedly we were to be taken upstairs to the CL lounge to check in. Or so I was told. But really, the CM at the front desk just checked us in. No comfy chairs, snacks or beverages. Boo. Minus 2 for CL. CL sure had a lot of points to make up and we had only been there for 10 minutes! We make our way to our 5th floor room and were excited to find...

Is it me or does AKL have the same basic structure/design as WLR? naturally the theming is different but your "on the steps" photo looks so much like mine, and yoru bunk bed room looks like the one we had in 09.

The new coaster they are building looks pretty cool. I tried to get some pictures but Caitlin insisted I stop taking pictures of stupid things.

..... Besides, it smelled funny now, not bad I guess, just not like our van! Is that weird?? That combined with the problems that had to be fixed and taking into consideration the regular maintanence that was going to be due on it soon, we decided it was in our best interest to trade it in. And if you're going to do that, you might as well upgrade, right . As much as I don't like having a car payment again, I do like my new ride:

you are making me think of that Seinfeld episode where the valet makes his car smell like BO.
Nice new car bTW. I would have also wanted trade in my stolen car....its had to feel very wierd being in your car after evil had been there.

Also, before I end this 'it's not a trip update but it's still Disney related' one more thing. Today we went to Old Navy to purchase matching flag tees for 4th of July. They had a ton of new Disney shirts for boys and girls in case anyone is looking for some for their upcoming trips. I saw cars, mickey, minnie, phineas and ferb and I'm sure there were others, but the kids got tired of looking. I also scored this beauty:

LOVE the tee's!! I may have to go check them out!

I think I must have subbed to your TR right away and not read it because I didn't have time. I am slow getting on the DIS at night, too many other htings to do

Your TR sounds great.

When we went to do F! the theater was jammed....but they had scheduled a second showing, so we did a few rides, including TSM, and then hit the second show. that worked out better than I could have planned it.

Was CL worth the upgrade really? I wondered if it would make sense to upgrade to CL then downgrade dining to the QS plan & have more snacks at CL. ??? make sense? just wondering. We wonder if DDP will work for DD next time around - she'll likely still be in the kids plan but definitely a bigger person appetite.

food for thought for the next year or so!

Looking forward to more TR!

 

[lbuzz52]

i'm curious to see how the dining plan worked out overall. i may have to copy you and check this for us as well.

 

[beebeeryan]

I'm hoping on the next trip the kids will be old enough to stay up later--that's the only downfall to the second show. Otherwise we would have done that long before now. Even at Disney my kids still go to bed pretty early. Well, what most would consider early for Disney at least. In past trips they were in bed by 8 or 9. This trip they finally made it to 10:30 on one or 2 nights.

We're the same, at home both kids are in bed by8pm and 8:30ish in summer, maybe 9 sometimes. Even at Disney most nights by 9pm they were in bed except the nights we stayed for Wishes when it was at 9pm and the MSEP when it was on at 9pm, only did it 2 nights outta 8. This year we're gonna throw in Illuminations and Wishes 2 nights probably keeping them up 4 nights outta 6. Hopefully they do okay. It was really our reason for picking the CR as our hotel this year, easiest quickest access to MK.

 

[Aburns8]

I think that we are going to have to try Ohana the next time we make it down to Disney. I have heard some good things about that place. Fantasmic is just crazy. Last year we were in line forever and then we felt like cattle slowly making our way up to the seats. I wish they did more shows and they wouldn't have this problem.

 

[jm106]

Good fun already! We also did Ohana and loved Lapu Lapu but pork was dry. The rest was very enjoyable and my kids were happy because they have broccoli and ds(5) ate his weight in shrimp. They offered us more food and he is the only one who piped up and said, Ill have more shrimp pls! He had his from the first batch, all but one of mine(I dont like it but wanted a taste) and another helping. We also didnt get too many pics since the kids were up dancing the hulalus they did bring food out fast. Sorry you had such a wait for monorail. We were on it about 4:30 on our Ohana day bit did ok time wise. We rode a full loop then back to poly just for fun.
OK, now I want the bread pudding

Do you find that you can relate almost anything to Seinfeld? We do this at work all the time. It is HILARIOUS!

I think that AKL and WL do share some similar decor/looks. I'm really hoping the kids will be into staying up later on our next trip so we could do the second showing of F! I'd really like for DH and DD to see it--they really would love it.

For us, CL really was worth it. However, I think that would depend more on the $$ to upgrade. Because of the discount code I had, it was $20 cheaper for me to book at CL room versus a regular savanna view room. Crazy I know, but that's how it worked out. I was really considering downgrading from CL because we really wanted to stick with the DxDP. But after hearing that, of course, it was a nobrainer to keep CL. In hindsight, we probably really should have downgraded from DxDP. I don't think we got our $$'s worth out of the DxDP this year like we have in the past. Can't wait to see what my final #'s come out as!

i'm curious to see how the dining plan worked out overall. i may have to copy you and check this for us as well.

I'm curious to see how they come out too. I figure that I will just work them out as I go, so I'll be seeing how it worked out for us at the same time as you!

We're the same, at home both kids are in bed by8pm and 8:30ish in summer, maybe 9 sometimes. Even at Disney most nights by 9pm they were in bed except the nights we stayed for Wishes when it was at 9pm and the MSEP when it was on at 9pm, only did it 2 nights outta 8.

It was really our reason for picking the CR as our hotel this year, easiest quickest access to MK.

I am really thinking that next trip we need to try out a monorail resort because of the kids and bed. And if I booked a theme park view at one, then I could watch wishes every night from my room no matter what time the kids go to bed!

I think that we are going to have to try Ohana the next time we make it down to Disney. I have heard some good things about that place. Fantasmic is just crazy. Last year we were in line forever and then we felt like cattle slowly making our way up to the seats. I wish they did more shows and they wouldn't have this problem.

Ohana was AMAZING. Definitely try it!

DH made the exact same cattle comment to me while we were in line being "herded" into the theater.

Good fun already! We also did Ohana and loved Lapu Lapu but pork was dry. The rest was very enjoyable and my kids were happy because they have broccoli and ds(5) ate his weight in shrimp.

AAAHHHHH, Ohana bread pudding. I wish I had some right now.

Hopefully no one in your family ate so much that they made themselves sick!

 

[AKL LOVER]

OK, so if you have to go back and look at your last post to refresh your memory of where in your trip you left off, then you KNOW it's been too long since you updated...Sorry all! It was a crazy busy week last week as it was the end of the school year. And now that it's all over, I can spend all the time I want on the DIS!!!


So now, off to another day in Disney.


We last left off it was a F! night and everyone wanted to leave me at the show all by myself. But DS stayed and LOVED it.


Wednesday May 4


This dawned bright and early for me. It was actually the only day that I woke up before our alarm. I had planned for us to sleep in a bit since we would have been out on the late-ish side the night before for F! So because of this, even though I woke up early, I didn't want to wake the rest of the family just yet. So I made my way up to the CL lounge to get some pics and take advantage of the breakfast offerings.

I take my goodies back to the room to enjoy on the balcony:

Of course as soon as I get back to the room, the kids wake up. No piece and quiet for me. And only a taste of my food because the kids gobbled it up. The coffee from the espresso machine was yummy though

So we all get ready and head to DHS for the day. The bus ride was fairly quick and it isn't long before we were seeing this:

We arrived about 20 minutes after RD. Not too shabby for having no specific arrival time planned for this morning. Of course, we head straight to TSM. The standby wait was already listed at 45 minutes, so I got FP's and we went over to do the Back Lot Studio tour. I did this years and years ago when I was a teenager, but DH and the kids have never done it. On our last trip to DHS we planned just an afternoon there and by the time we made it to the park just about everything was closed/done for the day. It was a bummer. This visit to DHS was much better. DH and the kids really enjoyed the tour:

After the tour we went to ride:

This was another first for DH and the kids and we were psyched that DS would be tall enough to ride. I didn't take any pics because I was so into enjoying the experience with my family. I've not ridden ToT since they added the new randomized drop sequence and I really liked it! Part of the thrill of that ride is the unexpected. Both the kids got on the ride and rode with no problems. They did however say when we got off that once was enough. Boo, because I really wanted to ride again! The wait had only been 10 minutes. We did buy the photo from this ride:

Notice me screaming my head off (I'm in the black tee and DH is pointing at me)?? DS looks like he is just a cool dude, handling a big ride like that and even putting his hands in the air!! I was bummed that DD's face was mostly blocked. But like I said, I couldn't get them to go on again. However, since we've been back from Disney they have both been talking about the ride a lot and they both claim they will ride it again next time...keeping my fingers crossed that they will because we really had a blast as a family riding this ride together for their first time!


We left ToT and headed back to TSM since it was time to use our FP's. On our way we stopped to get some PP pics in front of the ToT. They turned out really great. I'll post them once I get my PP cd. I know, shame on me for not having it yet!!


I love sneaking pics of DH when he isn't expecting it:

For some reason, DH was pouting in this picture and wouldn't smile for the camera:

We make it to TSM, get in line and get our glasses. Somebody is ready to go:

The wait wasn't too long in the FP line. DS was still a little pouty and refusing to look or smile at the camera:

Finally caught one of him looking, but boy was he pouty!!

Once we saw the cars and it was time to ride, DS perked right up!

I have to admit, that I got pretty good w/ taking pics of myself with the kids this trip when I couldn't hand the camera to DH.


DD and DH are excited to ride (I think...):

DS was a shooting machine! Look at his concentration:

Here are mine and DS's results....can you guess who scored what??

I tried to get the camera to DH quick enough for him to snap a pic of his and DD's scores, but it didn't happen. He SAYS that he beat my score, but I'm taking that comment with a grain of salt!



After TSM, we hit up Beauty and the Beast--another first for us! While waiting for the show to start I left everyone in our seats and I ran to get a snack (I had to move quick--I only had 10 minutes!). When I left the theater, the CM gave me a little ticket that I could use to get back in. I'm guessing that was in case they filled the theater, they would know that my family was already inside with a seat for me. I really liked this as I was afraid they might give me a hard time about leaving and re-entering the theater. I quickly found a CS place and bought 2 frozen lemonades (which were FABULOUS by the way!!!!) and a soft pretzel. Even made it back to our seats just before the show started! We ate our snacks while watching the show--it was the perfect break from the heat. The kids loved the show of course and DH thought it was pretty good, which I was surprised he admitted.


Once the show was over, we were ready for lunch, despite the snack we had just had. And it's a good thing too, because it was time for our lunch ADR...guesses on where our tummies lead us??
