Not Guilty...A Pre-Trip Report for November 2007

I would like some - but I still have trouble dropping that kind of $$$ on rubber shoes :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I know what you mean! And I can't imagine wearing lime green anything anywhere else but at Disney!

(Although I admit I'm having second thoughts about a lime green baggallini...:scratchin )

Hi E!, great pre trippie. B/f and I will be at POFQ Nov. 5-14th. It is a great resort we loved it last time. We are also going to be at MVMCP on the Nov. 12, what a small world. Hope you have fun in Branson, my grandparents used to live there. I went there every summer 12 years of my childhood.
 

Just found you report -joining in.

Got to mention about the crocs. I have said in the past that I'd never own a pair - I thought they were ugly & way too big for my feet but I did just purchase a pair of brown maryjanes & OMG, they fit just right & aren't so hideous looking. You chould check them out.

Hi Roxanne!
Sorry for the LOOOOONG delay - I went to visit my sister who just had her first baby and life was nutty before and after my trip so I'm just now getting back into the swing of the Dis-Boards!!!!!
I ended up buying some Merrels - LOVE them! ;)

Just caught up with Jen's TR - love her style - have you read it?

All is well here otherwise - getting SUPER excited to go in about 1 month and 1 week - I can't believe how quickly time has gone by!!!!
 
Have a fabulous trip!!! Your DD will LOVE it!!! She is just adorable, btw!!!

My DD has the same shoes that she wore with her Cinderella dress to Aksherus. We haven't done BBB yet, but most likely will on our next trip. Can't wait to live vicariously through your trip!!:rotfl:
 
Hi!! I just found ur trip report from reading others, I love it so far!! I'm going to be working at BBB this spring so I'm so excited and can't wait to see your DD's pictures from it.

I read that you wanted eating suggestions from MGM. Did you mean table service or counter service? WONDERFUL table service is Sci Fi..its the one where you sit in the cars in a huge drive-in theatre (best milk shakes ever!). Prime time is also very good..its 50s theme w/home style cooking and "moms" that make you eat your food..its cute for young kids but my brother and I are older now and prefer Sci Fi much better. If you meant CS...PIZZA PLANET is wonderful!!!! the pizza is amazing and if you go at an off time you will find seating very easily..most ppl forget about it cuz its kind of hidden but the pizza is amazing so is the salad and dessert.

great pre-tr tho!!!
 
Hi El - great pre-trip report so far! I'll be with you at MVMCP on Nov 12 - and I can't wait!!
Looking forward to reading more!

Heather :upsidedow

Hey Heather - it's getting close :)
Let's plan on meeting at MVMCP!!!!!!!
PM me if you're game OK!
 
Hi El! Just found your report and am enjoying it very much. I'm also headed down in November, but later than you - over Thanksgiving.

I, too am debating the whole Crocs thing. Never have been a fan, but I have troublesome feet that tire quickly and blister easy. The Mary Janes style is much cuter than the regular style, but like you said it's a lot of $ to drop on rubber shoes that I'm not sure I will wear beyond the week at WDW. I better decide quick though so I have a chance to "break them in" around the house! Decisions, Decisions! :confused3

Good luck with the planning! I will be checking in!

I think i'm over the crocs - I got some merrels and they're sooooo comfy I may just wear them every day :)
I'm getting excited - only 28 more days - that's 4 weeks exactly and we'll be in the World!!!!!

Very fun!
Make sure you come by and say hello - I'd love to meet fellow disers!

And thank you so much for the input on Pizza Planet - Lesley also recommended it and I think that's what we'll end up doing!
:cutie:

I'm almost done with my once again revised itin and will post as soon as I finish!
 
El,
We will be there Nov 9-14th. Staying at POR, all girls trip. We also plan on going to MVMCP on the 12th, can't wait. We have been to MNSSHP many times, but 1st time to MVMCP:santa: . I am the planner, but need to keep the plans very open, and always open to last minute changes. My ADR's are Primetime, Kona, Coral Reef and Tea at GF. All lunch ADR's, we are not on dining plan. Some of our favorite CS are Pecos Bills, Columbia Harbor House and Pinnochios, we also like Tusker House but that is closed so we will need to find a AK alternate. Not sure what CS we will do, or need to do at Epcot. And we usually go to Backlot at MGM. We love the breakfast at Boatrights at POR, but not sure when we will go?

New rides/shows will be Nemo at AK and Epcot. New comedy show at MK. We go frequently, so not sure what else we haven't seen.

I am hoping for warm sunny weather:cool1: , low crowds, but will just be happy to be back at WDW with family:love:. I did not get TGM, but hopefully the crowds will be manageable...........:confused3 Less than four weeks now.:yay:

Yay for you!
YOu're going the day before we are - we'll be a little short on time - but for our first trip (for me since i was 7 and for my dd it's the first time) I think it's good...not too overwhelming.
Do you have hoppers?
Or do you know what parks you're going to each day?

that's been the toughest decision for me - trying to match up ADRs and park days bc. we didn't get the hoppers.

We're not doing AK this time - 2 half days at Epcot (first and last days) and then 2 full days at MK and 1 full day at MGM.

I'm finalizing my itin and will post first of the week -
We're also hoping for low crowds - I'm pulling my DD from preschool and she goes to a MOntessori school so they're pretty adamant about us NOT doing that - LOL - but she'll only be 5 once right!?:cheer2:

We should try to meet at MVMCP - I have no idea what to expect - haven't had much time to research - I just thought it would be fun!

Keep in touch OK!

El,
Yes two of us already have PH (left over non expiring tix), the other two will most likely be upgrading their day pass, we had a one day ticket as part of our pkg. Only way to get discount code for room. I now will have two one day tickets, but I can always use them in the future to upgrade.

We arrive in the evening on the 9th, hopefully we will have the energy to go to DTD the first night, we love the boat ride from the resort. Saturday and Sunday we will go to MGM because of Super Soap, not for me lol, but Dsil is huge soap fan. With our PH I hope to also go to another park each of those days, but not sure which parks. Monday we will go to MVMCP:santa: only, I have found in the past that we can get into the park as early as 4pm, and so if we stay till 12am we will have
a full 8 hours. We have been known to do this in the past. With all adults this is easier to do. We relax in the morning at our resort, then PS at Kona for 2pm lunch, relax at Poly prior to going to party. That is the plan so far. Tues will most likely be Epcot, and I can't leave WDW with a last park day visit at MK. I could go to MK everyday:rotfl: .

I think your plans look good, the only suggestion is to try AK instead of 2 half days at Epcot. With the ages of your dd the Lion King show, Nemo (will be new for me) and Safari are really great attractions. It is not just another zoo. AK is really fun, and pretty. The disney theming is excellent at this park. Everest is one of my favorite rides, but with dd, who would probably not ride, it may eat up too much time. Unless you decide to split up to be able to ride.

I know this is your first trip since the 70's, how exciting. I would love to help you with any other questions you may have. I took my kids many times when they were young. Most of my recent trips have been with adults/teens. Everyone is free to do what they want, so we have really been able to experience many things. I average a trip about every 9 months or so, and would like to go more often but vacation hours and desire to travel to other destinations prohibit more frequent trips.

I think that having your Mom along will help with touring, make sure you take the time to relax during each day. POFQ is a really nice resort. Your dd will love the pool and slide. Take an upgrade to a waterview room if offered, the river is very pretty. Avoid bldg 7 near the parking lot, this is where the buses line up in the am. We like bldg 5 and 4 the best, close to food court.popcorn::

I can let your know as we get closer if when we can try to meet at MVMCP, let me know if you have plans to meet anyone else. I haven't looked at the schedule for the party yet, so it may be easier to pick a time around a show or parade. You can PM me if your would like, otherwise feel free to post on your thread.

Hello!


We thought about a suite room so that mom could be in the living room with DD and me and DH could share the bedroom.
Well, mom wasn't so hot on that idea.
So after much deliberation we're going to FQPO and getting 2 rooms -

We are going to POFQ in December!!!

I can't WAIT!
