[Divaofdisney]

Good Morning All!! Happy Tuesday and only 2 days closer to those waiting for FD come Thursday Smiley....congrats on your Ohana's ADR! We have one there for breakfast on our 1st MK day- which we always do as our 1st park we visit. It's tradition for us Finally got some rain over last few days but we are still pretty dry here on the Eastern Shore. I feel bad for all the farmers- their soybean crop is looking pretty poor. Hope it will turn around for them. Hope everyone has a wonderful and magical day!!

I would give up MM. I was not a fan. That is just my opinion.

BTW did we get new smilies?

Has anyone been to the Spirit of Aloha Show? It's one of 2 reservations (the other being Coral Reef) that my family joining us in Disney asked that we make. I keep looking over the menu and thinking it isn't worth 2 dining credits and that my picky eater of a husband won't enjoy it (he's a total meat & potato guy). I'm also not sure my girls will want to sit through the whole show.

It's kind of late in the game to find an alternate dining plan for the 5 of us, but I'm considering it. Any insight?

My biggest thing is the F! package. I want the seat! LOL I dont know if I want to stand in line and not get in I mean it IS doable thats the reason I chose MM. I cant have too much red sauce because of my Interstitial Cystitis. I thought I was done with these crazy descisions!!!! ACK! Our MVMCP night would be ideal because then we could already be IN MK .. good point. I guess Friday is our back up but the park closes at 7 so id want the 650 ressie

[mommyof3princess27]

Personally the Spirit of Aloha show is our personal favorite!! THe pinapple cocunut bread is to die for!!! So so good and the food there is very good- Its really not all that wild or exotic at all. They serve family style. The show is excellent and it certainly kept my attention all throughout. But only you know your family best so I can't say what they'd like vs not. But I would think twice and give it a try. It is worth every penny and more IMO. I am going back just for the bread alone. In fact my DD told me that she plans to bring a big purse to put extra loaves of that bread in silly silly girl!!

Not sure. Half of our party (including H & my oldest DD) is spending that day @ Universal, the other half will probably go to DTD or MK for a few hours. It's the "rest" day for my little girls, so I don't have anything really planned.

The only ressie that I really wanted that I couldn't fit in my schedule was 1900 PF and I am tempted to snag it (it's available right now). I don't want to hurt the feelings of my family because they were really looking forward to all of us going, but I just don't think my 6, 3 & 1 y/o will enjoy the show.

Sor you making the ressie for everyone or just your family? I would def do 1900pf! My girls loved it! Dress themup in a disney store dress and do their hair! I want to share a pic with you. I will NEVER forget this! This was in 2010 at 1900PF Cinderella dinner

There were so many adults there too! I would do it again but this year we are doing a breakfast there

 

[mommyof3princess27]

good morning all

good morning

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Kerplop, lol. I believe our longest trip was 28 days when we lived in Indiana. Last year we moved to FL and have only been once. Of course now we are settled and have more time for the 'important' things.

Enjoy your trip, those long ones are so much more fun than the short ones but the short ones are better than nothing!

That is AMAZING!!!!

I would still send the rest of my group to Aloha... I would make the ressie for just my family of 5... I'll email my aunt to see what she says. If she's OK with it, that's what we'll do.

The big girls want to be princesses for Halloween -- I guess their costumes can do double duty!

Thats what we did... Id snag the ressie NOW and then let it go if not needed. you can book it under your DH if you have too. Just make sure you log out of your disney account and choose not to link it to your ressie. THen use his cell phone number(or different from what you have used on the other resses (diff name, number) then they will email you the confirmation) I would do that because if she doesnt get back to you today, it might be gone

Great compromise I think given the ages of your children...they will love 1900 PF- we've been too and my girls loved it!! The adults will really enjoy the SOA Show as well, its fabulous!!

I agree with this. Whatever changes you are thinking about should be made now. I have been doing that very thing for the last 2 hours. I have made several changes including the CLP. I think it all works now. My one concern is BOG I have almost worked it out of my schedule. And the problem with that is I am truly happy witht he way things are lined up.

 

[Smileybug]

Just a word of caution.......
I was just checking my online reservation statement. I had booked a Courtyard view at the WL. I guess with me adding the two exta days a day at a time. Somewhere in there it was changed to a Woods view. I'm so glad I caught it. Got it changed back and actually hoping for a Bear Face view room.
