Mickey Mail arrived!! YEAH

And ADRs finally finished
4/6 lunch Rose & Crown
4/7 lunch Brown Derby
Dinner Raglan Road. ( just hope we don't sit right next to the stage this time)
4/8 dinner BOG @ 9:30 (if I was not posting from my iPad I would put a fainting emoticon here LOL)

Totally lucked into BOG ressies and actually booked our trip around them. Special day for my mom deserves special reservations, even if they are past her bedtime!!

I'm still trying to score a ressie for BOG. We just changed our plans to go in April again so I'm afraid it won't happen. But I'll even take a 9:30. EEK!!! (Also on an iPad . )
I'll just keep trying!!!!

We don't always drive, this will be our first time. We actually usually take Amtrak out of Boston. We are planning on going95 all tge way diwn with an overnight in Richmond VA and anitger in Savannah GA

You might have already found this thread, but there a thread on the transportation board titled- For 2,000 ROund Trip Drivers. It's really helpful b/c most of the people have been driving to WDW a long time. You might want to check it out. They were able to answer some questions for me.

Do you have any other ADRs to add? (Gee, I should have just multi-quoted.)

We arrive from UK on 28 March, staying for 2 weeks until April 11

ADRs
30 march dinner @ T Rex
31 march dinner @ Kouzina
1 April. Dinner @ Sanaa
4 April breakfast @ Ohana
6 April breakfast @ Chef Mickey & dinner @ Rain Forest cafe AK
7 April dinner @ Hacienda de San angel
8 April wishes desert party
9 April dinner @ Ohana
10 April dinner @ crystal palace

We will probably also fit in a dinner at The Wave in our first week, but I don't think we need to book so far in advance so we'll leave that to see how the kids are doing. We will be going off site a few days that week to Sea World & Universal, so we don't know what times we'll be back etc.

This is our first time, so I'm hoping our ADRs are a good mix of character meals for the children and a few more grown up ones for DH and I. It's my DS12 who is keen to meet all the characters. DD10 apparently thinks it is all very uncool and she definitely is no longer into fairies and princesses

Also meant to say in my last post. At this time in 4 weeks we will be in MK. So excited!

Myself, DH, DS1 taking out first family trip April 16-22. Staying at POP DH and DS first trip to Disney!!

Omg, 39 days for me........!

I actually should deduct a day since we're going the night before to stay at the airport, so technically our trip starts on the 11th.

Just moved my countdown calendar up by 12 hours. Every bit helps, lol. Although i'm not liking the seconds countdown on my KF -- 3.3 million.....it seems like it never goes down, lol

That's so great! This seems to be a really good year to go during the Flower & Garden Festival for the first time.
Every time I see something else I feel as if I need to add more time at Epcot....and this was a trip during which we were planning on skipping Epcot entirely!

Sounds like me, I have our countdown to when we actually will leave the house. We are leaving the 13th and not checking in till the 15th. We could do it in 2 days, but dont want to pull in Disney at 8pm, so we stay just outside so we can get to Disney early. So my countdown is actually at 40 days, 22 hours, 4 minutes......

 

[TJDisneymama]

10 days or so 'til we tell the kids!

They usually pick the movie for saturday's disney movie night on tues. Or weds. This week is YDD's turn to pick so have to wait til next week when its ODS's turn. Cant wait!

How are you going to tell them? I haven't decided how to tell mine yet and I'm still searching for ideas.

The Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party is now OPEN for APRIL!

Cost is as follows (tax included)

Adults: $25.55
Children: (3-9) $13.84

Thanks for posting this! I have never thought about doing this bc I have a family of 7, and the cost adds up. I looked into it for hubby and I since it is just us this trip, and thought we would try it out and maybe book it in 2014 for the whole family if we love it. I am sure we will. It looks amazing! So...we are booked for it and I am excited!

Op, when I get home I will get you all my ADR's bc we finally got them all finalized!!!
