YAY for you guys going in April! I hope you have a wonderful time!

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Bill!!! I made it over!!!!!

I can't wait to hear all about your trip! I really want to try 1900 Park Fare and CRT, everything always looks so good in there!!

Thanks Heather. I wanted to eat there and the other night forgot to add it to our reservations. So today I was looking at our schedule and the EMH's and figured we'd have time. And too we'll probably spend the majority of our time at MK since it's our favorite. Plus they have more rides and that's what we like, especially Space Mountain

Well it is Spring Break but you know I don't mind the crowds so much. At some point the parks HAVE to thin out, right? And with the EMH's that's going to help a great deal.

OK I just hopped over... wanted to let you know I'm On board...give me a chance to catch up and I'll post again LOL!!!

Welcome to my PTR...I am thinking of changing some of our ADR's but not sure. We were actually supposed to have gone last year but couldn't. And then decided to go in January (we're supposed to be there now) and couldn't. But I have my custom-made maps we got last year; they're really neat. And I'm looking SOOO forward to going in April!!!

As far as our schedule, well obviously that will change over the next few weeks. But I'd like to have some semblance of order, you know.

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Bill!!

Hope you don't mind, but here are some pics from SAI!!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Heather...that adult beverage looks YUMMY!!! I'll definitely have to take my meds before drinking. I'm type 2 diabetic..so it's all good.

***UPDATE*** I was able to score reservations at San Angel Inn on our last night. Figured it would be a more fitting end to our vacation. We're starting at MK and will end up at Epcot!!!

 

[ILuvCrush]

Hi Bill!! I'm all up so speed... i think...more or less

Now after this, we're not so sure. I'm thinking on Wednesday we eat breakfast at Tusker House and then ride the Kilimanjaro Safari afterwards. Beyond that, well I'm stressing about the FP's. I mean I REALLY, REALLY want to ride Everest and Dinosaur. But what I'll probably do is just get to the attraction when we get there and hope for the best. I don't want to worry about having to get to a certain attraction.

My other thing is that I really want to do some park hopping. Meaning, go to DHS in the morning and Epcot or MK for dinner. Most likely we'll eat dinner at MK or Epcot since they will be open the latest. Of course if DHS is open late for EMH we'll eat there for dinner.

Oh..I'm really stressing but shouldn't

OK don't stress about FPs!! they're either there or they ain't LOL!! You can always ride EE using the single rider line... you and your DW will get split up and sit w/ other people, but the line is MUCH shorter than standby. I doubt you'd have to wait any longer than 20min tops. I used it on my solo trip in October... I rode EE 7 times in less than 1 hour!! Just something to keep in mind!!

Okay..so you're probably wondering why my countdown ticker has changed? Well simply: WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY IN APRIL What you ask? Why April?

Well we were able to get the 4/3 deal but staying from April 3rd-12th. Why sooner than later? A couple of things. One (we got the 4/3 deal) Two (it's cooler in April) and Three (Space Mountain will STILL be open).

But seriously though, I REALLY, REALLY can't wait until June. Also, we reserved the room AND made ALL of our ADR's.

They are:

April 3rd-Dinner at Rose and Crown Pub
April 4th-Sci-Fi Dine in for lunch
April 5th- CRT for Dinner
April 6th- Chef Mickey's for breakfast; Tusker House for dinner
April 7th-Teppan Edo for dinner
April 8th- Crystal Palace for breakfast; Brown Derby for dinner
April 9th- Coral Reef for dinner
April 10th- Tusker House for breakfast; Tony's Town Square for dinner
April 11th- Le Cellier for lunch

That's it

I'll keep you posted with more.

Oooohhhh It'll be much more comfortable in April!! Plus you can see the Flower and Garden festival stuff at Epcot! I love your ADR list so far... I hope that you do a review of Coral Reef in your (ahem) upcoming TR... i'd really like to try it.

Both 1900 park fair and Boma have fabulous bfsts... in case you were wondering.... and thinking of an extra bfst here or there

Great news about you getting to change your dates......better weather and you get to go sooner. Your ADR's look great. We've eaten at most of them and really liked them. I forget, have you stayed at Pop before? We've stayed there twice and really enjoyed it. Their food court has such a great selection. And we thought everything we had there tasted great, too.

I've only stayed on WDW property once (1980) and that was at the Polynesian..and back then the only two WDW resorts were that and Contemporary.

Thanks...half of these places I've never been to. Or experienced character dining either so that too will be a plus. And with the 4/3 deal, well I simply could NOT pass that up.

I appreciate you joining in..Stay tuned!!!!

Hi Bill

Wow! You've had a lot of changes!

I think changing your trip from June to April was a great move, but I personally hate the heat. Our first trip to Disney was during the first week of March and that was too hot for me at times. I read that you were originally suppose to be going in January. That's when we went last year (we were just getting ready to come home at this time) and the weather was wonderful. Quite cool some mornings, but I loved it. Had so much more energy to tour the parks! But, I'm excited about the F & G Festival and not having to pack such a wide variety of clothes for everyone!

Can't wait to join you as we count down to our upcoming trips!

Awesome!

 

[littleboss]

Good report so far. Don't you just love to keep changing plans I think it makes the time go by faster and they always turn out so much better I think!

Yes I'm glad we changed it from June to April..and I live in the south and HATE it when it's too hot and it can be like that in June in Florida. I was in Florida last year in May and oh my goodness!!! It was downright hot. I noticed the F & G Festival is going on...I've seen pictures of it so I'm glad of that too.

I don't really mind the crowds, just being there is enough for me

Thanks for joining in. I think changing plans makes time go by better. Plus I can look at the maps we ordered and kind of plan where we want to go and when. However we're not going to stick to the schedule, except our ADR's...just kind of go with it you know

 

[jewels1916]

Hey! Just skipped over from my PTR! Loving your plan!! I'm jealous that you are going in April. April has never worked into my schedule as far as planning a trip to WDW. And it's my birthday month!

Maybe someday!

I saw that you have ADR at Teppen Edo. You'll have to tell me how you like that one, it's one my list!

Subbing in! Can't wait until the next update!
