Hope you got everything you wanted!!! I'm hoping to get into Be Our Guest the evening of the race, but not sure what my chances are I haven't booked our room yet, so I have to wait until Tuesday....it's making me crazy

I did! Of course I woke up a thousand times thinking I had missed my alarm

Good luck with BOG! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

My ADRs are:
Fri 2/20: no ADR (arrival day)
Sat 2/21: late lunch/early dinner at T-Rex
Sun 2/22: dinner at Garden Grill
Mon 2/23: dinner at Mama Melrose's
Tues 2/24: dinner at Be Our Guest
Wed 2/25: no ADR (Universal day)
Thurs 2/26: breakfast at Tusker House, dinner at Akershus
Fri 2/27: breakfast at 'Ohana (and we leave the happiest place on earth)

And in other good news our waitlist came through so we'll be staying at Animal Kingdom Villas! So excited. 6 months, princesses (and princes)!

I only made ADRs for Le Cellier and Tusker House. I am trying to save money on this trip and I also am trying to not be tied down to times. As always though, I am second guessing that plan.

Ha ha - I know what you mean. I think I'll book the ADRs to make sure I don't miss out, and then review the plan (and the budget ) in a couple of months and possibly drop some....

See...now you're making me think I need to make more. lol

I'm planning on all out of the park meals for the time being as I'm not sure my race partner will be buying a park ticket or not.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I'm such a bad Disney planner. I'm not doing any ADRs except for the Via Napoli one with the cupcake crawlers.

Everyone doesn't have to plan 6 months in advance! I've got Le Cellier, or I probably wouldn't have made any either. lol

Just booked all my ADRs for the week! So excited! And I also bought some stuff for my costume this past weekend. I'm going to dress as Elsa!

I think there are only a few places that book up quickly - the one I'm anxious to book is Be Our Guest. Considering I just checked for the few days before the date I want, and there's no availability, I'm pretty sure I'm already out of luck

Oh well, my other choice is Akershus and I've heard good things, so I think I'll shoot for that one!

I booked BOG this morning and there were several time slots available for the date I wanted... Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Squeeeee! I scored an ADR for BOG the night we're at MK. I also made an ADR for Raglan Road the night of the PHM After Party at DTD. Those will be our only two OOP meals, the rest will be on our QS dining plan.

I had a nightmare the other night that they upgraded us to a Royal Room (yay!) at POR, but we couldn't find it! We kept walking around the resort looking up at these big, monolithic-looking buildings and having no idea where to go. And then on the way to the race, we got lost, and I was so angry! I remember watching the sun come up in my dream as we're trying to find the start line, and panicking because the sun usually rises around the time I'm entering MK during the PHM, so yeah...I was not happy about that dream, lol.

HAHA. I have these dreams all. the. time. Not about POR, but about missing my flight by seconds. Being stuck on splash mountain for 3 hours and missing my flight. Forgetting my contacts at home and not being able to see the entire trip. Just very irrational things but I wake up terrified!

I was actually only going to book a few ADR's to save money since we are taking a longer trip...but now I have like 12. So that worked. I am going to have to force myself to drop some of these!

Oh wow - that's great! Yesterday I checked 2/20 and they were all booked and today I checked 2/21 and nothing available. Thanks for the crossed fingers - I'll be on bright and early tomorrow!!

When I booked ours for 02/25, there were three left: 5:15pm, 5:30pm, and 6:20pm. I took the latest one, so we can go and watch Wishes after we're done eating (something we missed doing this year since our BOG ADR was for 7:45pm and Wishes was at 8).

That's great Maybe because it's later in the week and it will be less crowded I tried this morning, but they're booked solid for the 22nd as well, so I booked Akershus for a late lunch. I figured we can get our pictures taken with the Princesses with our medals

On my way out the door to do 10 miles. Figure if I put it out here in the cosmos I have to get it done. Either that or I am stalling getting started!

The hardest part of every run for me is walking out the door! Once I'm out there I'm good to go but I'll find a million things to do to stall before going...just remember how good it will feel to finish the run Have a great run!

 

[queen mimi]

Got the 10 miles done. Came home to broken water heater so had a nice cold shower. Brrrrrr!

 

[Luv2Run]

Great job!
And that sucks about the broken water heater. Nothing puts me in a worse mood than a chilly shower when I'm expecting a hot one. Hope our day gets better.

 

[DisneyRunner2009]

Congratulations on your run. My plan is seven miles, tomorrow. I get so nervous when I do long runs, don't know why. I've run seven miles, I don't know how many times, so it's not the ability to do it that makes me nervous. It's just weird. As for ADRs, I booked The Wave for Monday morning. We don't have a resort reservation, holding out for a discount. Some of the group have airfare round trip, others have just a one way ticket. Some of the tickets are down only, others tickets are for one way out of MCO. #whateverworks
