are we all in the "2 months and counting" club now? if not, should be pretty close!!

I got busted! We are planning a surprise trip. My oldest pretty much knows we are going to go back to disney ~ one day! But not sure when. Anyway, lately she has been asking a lot "when are we going back to disney world?" Well, yesterday she saw a set of the Minnie applique shirts my friend made us for the trip...she loved them and said, we should wear them on our next trip to disney world. 2 of our last 3 trips we've been at WDW for my birthday...my birthday is tomorrow!! I really think she thinks we are going to disney any minute!! I finally had to tell her that we are going to go to disney, but DH and I have decided we want to go sometime when it is warm enough to swim and go to the water parks, so maybe this summer. I hope she's surprised in April!!

lol. the little stinkers really make it hard to surprise them hey??? i can totally relate!!! DD is surf obsessed since being in Hawaai over a year ago so we want to book her in to Typhoon Lagoon surf class. I kept it a surpise since like last October but i finally had it with her whining about us not going to a beach that had good surf on our trip that I said - can't you just trust us to give you a good time??? Anyway, the cats out of the bag now. She's excited of course but i would have REALLY liked to have this a last minute surprise!!!!

When I make the reservation, it goes to a page showing the exact charge and says "this reservation requires advance payment." I just assumed it charged up front. It's different from how Le Cellier credit card holding looks... hmm...maybe I just misunderstood.

Hmmm, I don't remember what it looked like. I did have to enter my credit card, though, but I don't remember seeing a charge. Maybe call to double check everything!

I would love to see pictures!! I actually bought one of the books I am using for an autograph book today. Still have to buy 2 more, but I could only use one coupon a day. I need to post pictures of the shirts I've gotten. The next 2 are ones I'm going to do myself. I need to get started!

Surfing lessons sound fun!! And would have been a great surprise ~ oh well!!

I'm coming too!

We'll be at the Poly April 7th-9th. DBF's family spends every other Easter at the Poly. We have ressies at Crystal Palace, Akershus, Rose & Crown, Chef Mickey's and the Brown Derby. A lot of food for three days at the parks!

I'm planning on upgrading my Premium AP to DLR to a Premier when I go in a few weeks. I'm thinking of getting Tables in Wonderland since I have two trips to WDW planned this year. Does anyone know if there are black out dates?

I believe that there are only blackout dates for the Flordia resident annual passes not for the the regular and premium/premier AP. At least there aren't for the regular AP, so I can't imagine there would be for the premier.

You do have to pay upfront for CRT, unless you are booking with the DDP. If you are booking with the DDP then you have to give your cc as a guarantee and it will not be charged unless you are a no show.

 

[AKL LOVER]

Opps. Guess I should have multi quoted my replies since I just posted 3 in a row...sorry!

I think I am finally ready to book CRT...it is really just for me, to eat in the castle like a princess. I think I am going to book dinner, I keep going back and forth between breakfast and dinner because we are not going to do DDP (I think anyway) it is just so expensive!! Not to mention paying for it so soon before the trip hurts a bit. Oh well, I'm sure it will be a one time only thing...at least until we have kids...

I also have booked throughout our week Jiko (which I may cancel if we do Waynama Safari), Le Celier, and Sci-Fi... anyone have any thoughts or recommendations about any of these?

Jiko is one of our favorite restaurants on property. When you go, ask for Stephanie as your server. She is phenominal. The best server we've ever had. Anywhere. Hands down.

Le Cel is good but not worth the 2 credits for dinner IMHO. We usually just stick to a lunch there now.

Sci-Fi get's lots of bad reviews but we tried it last May and really liked it. Hope you do too.

Thank you! We will be at Epcot for Easter and have two TS ressies. TiW would really come in handy!

I thinkg TiW has blackout dates, but I think it might just be Christamas Day and New Year's, but you might want to double check.

Okay getting closer! Dog camp has room for Jolie, now it's just a matter of pinning down the flights and for DH to put in for the time off at work! I was hoping DD could make it too, but her last final exam is April 28th. Hopefully she'll want to go this summer, maybe just she and I!

Good to know ~ we booked with the DDP, so that must be why it was different for me.

This is mostly our experience as well. Jiko was the best meal we ever had on property. Our only complaint was the table directly next to us with a large party of adults who were engrossed in conversation and letting their kids be really loud and out of control. It's a nicer place and it really kind of soured the mood with screaming kids.
We will absolutely go again though. Wonderful food!!!

Le Cellier is not a 2 credit for me. I would do the lunch though!

And we haven't tried Sci Fi. I think I'd like to go for the novelty factor at least once.

TiW cannot be used on Easter, but it can be used the rest of easter week!

Sorry Inday--I read your post wrong. I thought you were asking if the AP had blackout dates. Kathy is right, TiW does have blackout dates, including Easter Sunday.

 

[Kathymford]

Just in case there was any confusion about pre-paying CRT. The charge just hit my AMEX, so yes, it's a REAL pre-pay, not just give your CC to hold...

I don't care. I am SO excited about this.

 

[Zuzu03]

Yay!!!! Just booked our flights! We're heading down April 21 and coming back the 27th! Staying at POFQ!!! Hoping for beautiful weather and low crowds!!!

 

[JoesLove]

headed down 4/23!

 

[wdwgirl03]

So our preferred view at the Boardwalk is now going to be a Boardwalk view! YEAH!!!

Less than 60 days?!?!?! WOW!! I'm jealous!! We are still at just over 80. I'd rather be at 60 but oh well - 80's not too bad either.
