****Official August 2014 Thread****

We also have Garden Grill booked but apparently the restaurant hasn't been spinning in a couple of months. We will cancel if it doesn't get fixed by August. I love the scenery from Living With The Land.

Oh no! I didn't realize it still wasn't spinning. :/ I might cancel too. For our first time, I want the full effect. Even if it means I might get sick

Has anyone been to the Crew's Cup? I thought since we are without kids, it might be nice to eat in a lounge.

Yes we love it there! Great food it's nice and quiet. Try the lobster sliders they're my fav!

There's a thread on the restaurant board about it. People who go keep reporting back that it's still not spinning.

That sucks! We have it booked twice but the 2nd time is meant to be changed if someone in our party decides there is another restaurant that they have to try.

QotD: Are you eating at any new restaurants this trip that you're excited for? How about your favorites that you can't wait to return to?

We are trying a few new ADRs this time like Jiko and Sanaa, Hollywood and Vine, Artist Point Flying Fish Kouzzina and BoG for dinner but that one is a real late one so hopefully I can change it to an ealy timing Plus we are trying the Epcot after hours at the Rose & Crown our last night as I thought it would be a good time to reflect...

As we are DVC member we are getting going to get the TIW to help us with the cost of the meals as I don't think that the dining plan would work for us and we like to have a drink and get it discounted.

I've finally typed up our whole itinerary (as it stands at the moment!) for my PTR.

Rather than post it again here and take up space (it is a long post!), here is the link to it if you would like to look! http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=51523760&postcount=35

Tomorrow is my FP+ day! Woohoo! I am really hoping that we get Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Elsa and Anna for our first MK day. Fingers crossed. Going to have to get up early tomorrow.

I was worried we might have trouble getting FP for 7DMT, but then i just made FPs for a client going in 4weeks and there seemed to be plenty of availability.

Thanks! We stayed at Hard Rock in 2010 and loved it. What swung Portofino this time was the idea of having a really luxury end to the trip

Booked all my fast pass + at midnight last night. Got everything we wanted including Elsa and Anna. The times they give are so bizarre, but you can go in and edit and I switched all the times to what I wanted. It was easy. It took a little less than an hour to arrange all 10 days. Tired this morning but it was well worth to waiting until the morning.

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

This morning I am



79 days to go!! I know there are also a few others celebrating the drop from the 80's to the 70's with me today. Woohoo!
