November 1, 2008 "Election Day Castaways!"

Pecos Bill's ? Where is that ? We're game for dinner....anyone else?

PB's is right across from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. They serve mostly burgers and fries. Nothing fancy, but they do have a nice toppings bar for the burgers. Pecos Bills Menu

Does anyone else want to meet for dinner... and it doesn't have to be at PBs either! We don't want to "waste" alot of time eating dinner, so sit down restaurants are out for us that night.
 
Sorry- we're eating early at Boma since we'll already be at AKV and I'm DYING to check it out- it's our home resort and it will be our first time staying there. But we will be to the park by 6:30, I think- could we all maybe meet somewhere that night? Maybe watch the parade or the fireworks together?

We agree...sit down dinner for us isn't a good option either. Hopefully we'll get more takers. Either way we're in.
 
Hi everyone!
It has been ages since I have had time to check in on this thread!
We are getting close! Just 5 and a half months until we cruise!!!

We added the romantic escape at sea package to our booking.
We decided it was worth the extra $$ because we LOVE the rainforest room, and ususally only go once per trip because we talk ourselves out it because we don't want to spend the money for just an hour or so if we can't spend a lot of time there. (usually we will spend much of one port day in there... snoozing on the lounge chairs...aaahhh!)

One of the other couples who is going with us had to cancel... She and her Fiance are buying a house... (prioritys??:confused: )
 

We'll be at the Crystal Palace at 5pm if anyone's interested on 10/31. Somehow I have to fit the buffett in every year. With 2 boys and a big boy (DH), only way to feed them happily !!
 
O.k...I know this has nothing to do with this thread, but as a parent I feel it's my duty to brag about my DS13.....

Yesterday he placed 4th in Kata and 5th in Sparring at his National Karate Tournament. He only lost out to being in the top 2 ( way they end up, either top 2 or bottom 4) to the Overall Grand National Champion. I am very proud of him.
He is taking applications for all DD's aged 12 - 14 for personal bodyguarding onboard - :rotfl: <--- that was his request.. He's a good boy !! :confused3 He is the goofball on the bottom middle.

Way to go!:cool1: It takes a tremendous amount of work, and determination to reach that level. Congratulations!
 
Congrats! He looks GREAT!! I'll try to remember to stay on his good side on the ship!!;)
 
Hey Everyone! Just got back last night from Disney World with my girlfriend for a Mom's getaway and we had such a great time! The husbands stayed home and took care of the kids. (If you want to call it that) We spent three nights at Saratoga Springs and although it was sad to leave it was so nice to know that I will be coming back in 5 months!! We had great weather no rain and in the 90's! Now its back to reality and waiting for Oct 29th! I Can't wait!:woohoo:

Got in on Thursday late afternoon and went to Downtown to the Rainforest and hung out at the bar and had drinks and appetizers and then for dinner headed to Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge.
We went to Magic Kingdom when it opened Friday morning (walked on all the rides we went on) and then went to Hollywood Studios at night. We had dinner at Hollywood Studio's at 7pm then hit Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster when everyone was at Fantasmic and we walked in everything! When we went to Tower of Terror it was me and my friend and one other person in the room watching the movie before the ride. We did not get to the spa :guilty: and we did not get to Epcot there was just not enough time. On Saturday we went to Animal Kingdom at opening and walked on Everest twice, walked on dinosaur, went to see the nemo show and then went back to MK to shop. The MK was very crowded on Sat. We watched the parade at 3pm had lunch at the Plaza at 4pm then went back to the room for a nap. That night we went to see Wishes and Spectro Magic. On Sunday it was time to go home:confused3. I LOVE Saratoga Springs but I always request the Springs section because we do not have a car and I want to be close to the main pool and food court. We had a studio on the 4th floor and the view was great! The key is if you are going to the parks get there when they open because you pretty much walk on everything, afternoon it's hot so we went back to the pool and hung out there till it was time for dinner on Friday. We got really sun burnt so we did not go back on Saturday. Then at night go on the rides when the parade or shows are going on. We had such a great time but as always not enough time to do everything we wanted. I wish we had more time but at least I will be back in Oct.!!!!:woohoo:
 
Thanks for filling us in- great advice about getting to the parks at opening- I'm thinking it might be a little more crowded when I go next Sunday (WOW! I can say NEXT SUNDAY!!!:yay: ), but hopefully not too bad. I think I requested Grandstand and Congress Park, or maybe I switched it to Springs... I don't know now- I feel like I'm better off being open to anything, so if they stick us back in Carousel I won't be devastated! I'm only doing one spa treatment, the Mystical therapies, my girlfriend is doing 2 one day and two or 3 another day- on that second day I'm doing the Segway around World Showcase instead.:woohoo: So glad you had such a fun trip!!! You'll be back before you know it!
 
OK, lots of us will be going to MNSSHP on 10/31, I need advice. Has anyone gone on Halloween before? Does anyone know how many tickets are sold? Will we be able to move in the park or is it stupid crowded? I know I should have asked these questions before buying 8 tickets, but, how many times do you experience WDW on halloween with your kids. It can't be that bad, can it? :scared1:

I have never been, but my BFF told me that when she went it was yes VERY crowded, but they move you along very well. I figure it's WDW, it's Halloween, WHO CARES? :banana:

I'm with you- it's Halloween in the MAGIC KINGDOM!!!! But I do have friends who have been on Halloween, and they said it was fine. One said lines for candy were long and ride lines were not, the other said it was all ok. They both said it was incredible. It won't be crowded like it's Thanksgiving or Christmas Day, they'll be letting less people in the park than that. I'd like to know how many less, though! I also think I may buy each of the boys a bag of their favorite candy, just in case they don't come up with a lot of treats because of lines at MNSSHP. But I won't let them know the candy exists unless it's neccessary. If they are satisfied with their loot, I'll just pass the candy on to CM's on the cruise.
