Nikki and Tom take on F&W and MNSSHP-Take 2! LINK TO TR pg. 55

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

So glad you got two of the adr's! I also don't see a problem at all with your sister booking that adr for you guys. Enjoy it! I've been going crazy over here to figure out our days and adr's here!

It really is stressful!

I would have done the same thing for Ohanas. No, wait...I would have thought of it a LONG time before

Hahaha!! Thanks for the reassurance!

For ADR's, by whichever manner they are achieved! I would never had have thought there was a possible Disney protocol breach until you mentioned it...but I know what you mean about panic-ing! I freak out if I think I may be even in a small way flouting authority, but naa totally think this is a good call!

O'Hana....I don't eat turkey shrimp or pork, never tried noodles, don't eat broccoli and wouldn't eat a dessert with bananas in it and yes this place is calling me!!

I never would have thought I would like a place like 'Ohana either. We only tried it because we were staying at the Poly on our honeymoon and wanted to stay close on arrival night. The salad, bread and wings are enough, if you won't eat that other stuff! But the dumplings are amazing! AND the first time we ate there, we said no thank you to the dessert but our waiter practically forced us to try it! We did NOT get the banana sauce poured on top though and OMG, it was soooo delish!!

We are eating at Ohana for the first time this summer, on free dining! The last time we had free dining I actually cancelled it because we were tired of big meals.....I have regretted that ever since.

First time?! Wendy! I'm shocked! Haha....just kidding. You're going to love it! I'm hoping it's as good as it was the last two times. I've read some not so great reviews.... Where are you staying this time?

I know, I never should have cancelled it! Since it is free dining, I am not worried. We are doing CRT, Yachtsman, Hoop de Do, garden Grill, Chef Mickey, Via Napoli, Ohana.....and one more I haven't decided on......we are staying at the Boardwalk......had to do a deluxe to get free dining.......glad to be going back to the Epcot area....we were up at MK the past few trips.

 

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

I'm up bright and early! It's Erin's ADR morning and since she set her alarm for a few minutes before 6 to make ADRs, I got up too! It's so exciting! Anyway, she was able to book the 3 places they are eating without us, and the 2 places we are eating altogether: Beirgarten on Saturday AND 'Ohana on Friday night before MNSSHP!! SOooo....I will have my sister cancel the ADR she made for us. So glad it all worked out!

Oh I would love to stay in the Epcot area one day....
Have you thought about Kouzzina for your last one? Tom and I really enjoyed it on our last trip.

Yay for ADR's being worked out

 

[ronnmel]

Woohoo! It all works out in the end.

 

[Nermel9]

Glad the ADR's worked out! And that Ohana is still available for Friday! Gives me hope that I will still be able to snag one on Sunday!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Is this cheating?? Don't judge me!

So after the success of my sister getting all her ADRs, I started freaking out that we wouldn't get 'Ohana for Friday night before MNSSHP. Just to refresh, my sister made a Beirgarten ADR for all of us on Thursday night. She is checking out and flying home on Friday...the day that Erin was planning on making the 'Ohana ADR.

So I....and this is where I might be slightly be breaking the rules.....I had my sister make an ADR for us. She was able to get us a 5:20!! I am reeeeally excited about it but feeling a little guilty at the same time because I'm normally really big on following the rules but really, what is the harm? What if she wasn't flying out until later that night and we actually were having dinner with her?

Ahhh! Don't judge me!

And you think I am crazy?!

It really always does! I always stress for nothing...

Oh I'm soooo rooting for you to get that 'Ohana ADR! I have a really good feeling about it!

And you think I am crazy?!

I do think you are crazy...but I am not denying that I am also crazy!

Is anyone else watching the show? Not sure how good the show will be but I wanted to share this video. I had no idea what a flash mob was when I first found this video and was, of course, crying not 30 seconds in! Not only do I LOVE Julie Andrew's amazing voice and the Sound of Music in general, I get such a warm, fuzzy feeling when a group of people come together and are all happy! Kind of why I can cry looking around at people's faces as they watch Wishes. Anyway, here it is...

For fun, I decided to youtube search "disney flash mob" and found this one that they did for Disneyland's 55th! Oh I would just LOVE them to do this for WDW's 40th!

[Stefy]

Oh I love it, how cool is that all the CM's and Characters dancing away. Must have been a pretty awesome sight to see

 

[ronnmel]

I have watched that video with the Sound of Music flash mob several times and I always think it's incredible!

The Disneyland one is nice too.

 

[ronnmel]

Oops, double post.

 

[Tinkerbellie16]

Cool video of that Flash Mob! I've heard of one happening at our local mall - it would be really cool to see one of those things in person!

Hey guys! A bit of an update trip update! When I registered for the 5K, you actually register through active.com or something like that. And a few days later, they sent me an email with a coupon for the running shirts at cafepress.com. I found some really cute ones, including ones about eating and drinking...perfect for the Food and Wine Festival!! But there were none that really were perfect so after talking to Tom, we decided we should just make our own. Well after a little while searching, I was brought right back to cafepress where, what do you know, you can design your own shirts!!!

So I got myself a white tank and Tom a gray shirt. You can put your own words and even upload your own pictures!!! So this is the final product...

Mine has Gray font and Tom's will have yellow, since his shirt is gray. I am sooo excited for them! I can't wait to see the finished product. I just hope the tank fits because I'm really weird about fitting into clothes....

 

[stephielela]

That is awesome!!! Very creative!

 

[Nermel9]

I have to admit, I had no idea what a flash mob was before I saw it on your PTR, I had to google it... I love the Disneyland one!! I wish they would do that for MK's 40th, but I doubt they would do the same thing!

Love the tee shirt design!

Oh yeah...I did my ADR's this morning! No luck with 'Ohana on the 30th. I had to settle for going on Thursday 10/6 instead, but I'm going to keep checking to see if anyone cancels! I have 6 months, hopefully someone will cancel!

 

[PopArtGal]

I'm excited for the final product too!! Please post pics!
