No longer going to disney!!!!

[Disneyfan71]

Back in November I had said my wife and I are going to WDW in January..actually we're supposed to have been going next week. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we've had to go at a later date.

First of all my name is Bill (37) and a huge fan of WDW and consider Walt Disney to be my hero. He means so much to me that well, just ask And my wife (Angela) is also a huge fan of Disney. Although we've both been to WDW we've never been together. This is our Five year wedding anniversary to each other (it's June 5th). And looking forward to it.

The details so far: June 14th-23rd, Staying at Pop Century

AND we've decided to stay at Pop Century and have the deluxe dining plan. I want to eat at CRT and that takes two dining credits. With the three meals a day we'll have 24 credits versus 16. Besides I don't really care where we stay, we aren't going to be in our room for long

Hey I'm here!

Good start so far...Have any pics?

 

[Disneyfan71]

Thanks Tink--no pics yet..but this is a start.

We're narrowing down on where to stay--- looks like either POFQ or POR- Contemporary is just too expensive but if we're driving we'll save $500 or more. Plus we can take food to eat for breakfast and not have to spend extra $$!!

We love driving! We love being able to pack whatever and not have to worry about it getting lost somewhere. We also bring any dried groceries that we can that won't get ruined, which saves money on the groceries when we get there since we have a kitchen.

I think both POFQ and POR are nice resorts. We've eaten at POR and the scenery was beautiful.

We drive from NC and it's not a bad drive at all...and we have 3 kids! I have to say either of your choices sound good...but I don't think there is a bad place there! We will be there around the same time I think...can you believe I don't know our actual check in date! I try not to think about that because then I start to panic...about all the stuff I have to do to get a family of 5 ready to go.

Can't wait to hear more about your plans.

From Raleigh to Disney is about 600 miles or so which isn't bad. I'd rather drive and take our time instead of worrying about flight delays, leaving our car at the airport for a week and so on.

We've decided to stay at POFQ and will be there June 16th-25th!!! I can't wait. I am looking forward to doing some fishing with a cane pole

Finally! A face to put with a name!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Well I try I'll add more as time goes by.

 

[Disneyfan71]

Well I added to this earlier but forgot to update it... Anyways, we've decided to stay at Pop and have the deluxe dining plan. I think it will be better and we can use two credits for CRT, which I HAVE GOT TO DO!!!

As far as our schedule goes here's the tentative one.

June 16th--Arrival from Raleigh, NC. Check in and dinner at Raglan Road

June 17th--MK

June 18th--Epcot

June 19th--AK or DHS

June 20th--DHS or AK

June 21st--DAY OFF

June 22--Either MK or Epcot

June 23rd--Either MK, Epcot or DHS

This of course all depends on the EMH. We might sleep in one day and head to MK later if it's open two hours later than normal park closing. Of course this is a TENTATIVE schedule as it could change

 

[wlwilliams9]

I'm hooked, tell me more!

Where's Angela's pic?

The two of you will have such a fantastic time! We are going DxDP this time too! I had an ADR at Cindy's castle, but cancelled it. I think I'll wait until DD is older and can appreciate it more! We are going to Akerhaus for breakfast to see the princesses though.

 

[kgle]

Yay! Glad you got the resort down I originally planned on POP but I decided I could probably only take so much cheese factor in one day that I upgraded LOL

Here she is And thank you all for the kind words.

WlWilliams...that Arkerhaus sounds good...It's the closest thing I can get to my Danish heritage.

kgle--I like the Pop b/c one it's cheaper and two it appeals to me

 

[violentmesses]

Ooo. We were going to stay in POP because it looked super cool and all Disney'd out. I can't remember why we changed our minds now...

 

[sharlon]

Since we will be there about the same time, I'm going to subscribe and read along.
BTW, I think Pop is such a fun place to stay and the service is great!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Thanks Sharlon. We've decided to add a day since we're staying at Pop. I just wish that Disney would put out their schedule and EMH schedule for June...I really can't plan our days this way arrggh!!

But I HAVE been looking at all the different restaurants..so far i've got

June 16th--our arrival on Air Tran from Raleigh---go to Tony's Town Square

June 17th--Breakfast at Tusker House
Lunch at Dinorestaurantous (sp)
Dinner at Coral Reef or Le Cellier (LOL)..like that will happen.

June 18th-- Breakfast either 1900 Park Fare or Chef Mickey's
Lunch--depends on where we're at
Dinner--probably Epcot

Beyond that, I haven't done much of anything.

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Hey, I saw in your signature that you have a PTR! I can't wait to hear more. Sounds like you've got a good schedule going so far.

I really want to try Le Cellier! It's on my to do list for May.

I'm dying for the park hours too! It's just ridiculous! I keep emailing Disney and they send me that stupid automated answer.

I hope you are feeling better. Take it easy and slowly work back up to normal foods. When I had the food poisoning on our honeymoon, I started finally feeling better after 3 days of pure you know what so we decided to get ice cream from gheraldelli (sp?) at DTD. Let's just say that wasn't a fun evening when we got back to the hotel.

 

[Disneyfan71]

Well so far we've got some of the parks down..as for ADR's, well can't do that until 90 days out which means March and I'm kinda bummed. But as soon as the EMH's come out---OH BOY

Tentative schedule is:

June 16th-Arriving from Raleigh, NC--MK that afternoon and evening

June 17th--AK (morning) Epcot (evening)

June 18th--DHS (morning), MK (evening)

June 19th--DAY OFF Probably DTD

June 20th-- MK or Epcot

June 21st-- AK, DHS or MK

June 22nd-- MK (evening)

June 23rd--Epcot (morning) MK (evening)

June 2th--Not sure

We will probably spend the majority of our time at MK and Epcot. The last time I went to DHS I wasn't that impressed. Now that they have RnR, well we shall see if that's a favorite of mine. If it is, we'll go back.

Never been to AK and have heard mixed reviews--but definitely will try it out. If we like it, then we'll go back.

Basically on some days we'll sleep in, go to DTD, maybe some of the Resorts and then MK the rest of the day.

Again it all depends on the EMH 150 days to go

 

[Disneyfan71]

So we got some good news today. We should have our money SOON, like in a few weeks. We will pay for the entire trip and be done with that part.

Also we ordered our planning DVD which should be here soon I hope. This will get me through the next few months.

I think I need to bust out our DVD just for the fix!
