Afternoon everyone. Only you can understand my excitement at getting a breakfast ADR on 8/20 at 8:15a for Cinderella's Castle!

 

[helenk]

We're doing the Fantasmic pkg that same night, though at Brown Derby. I've two boys, 8 & 10. Maybe we'll see you and your granddaughter!

I had thought about the Brown Derby, but I decided Momma Melrose was a better fit for a 6 year old. This is the first time she will be seeing Fantasmic. She has been to Disneyworld before but the first time she was just too young, and the other trips we just have not had enough time. I am getting excited for this trip, it seems so far away. I love the planning though that is have the fun.

Hi All. I have been away from the boards for awhile. However, tomorrow is 180, so I needed to see how everyone was doing with teir ressies. I typically call at 7, but I'm thinking I may try using MDE at 6. It's nice to hear it has worked well for many. I read some terrible things about it last year.

Is 6am when I can start making reservations on MDE???? I had a feeling the cm I was talking to was giving me incorrect info. She kept saying 7am for Internet bookings. Day 180 for me tomorrow too!

 

[Nurse_Mommy4]

Yes, you can start booking online at 6am EST. The phone lines open up at 7am EST. A lot of us have been having trouble booking 180+10 online but are not having a problem booking over the phone with a CM. I would just be prepared to call if need be.

Does anyone know if a cancelled thread will be started?

Me too. I have a lot of ADR's to make and I have to be at work extra early tomorrow. I'll just have to make the important ones first and figure the rest out tomorrow night.

Good luck!

Meanwhile, also sorry to hear about your cat. Does your vet board?

Hug that fur baby for me. Maybe a friend or the vet can take care when you are away.

Good news! I had lunch yesterday with my tax accountant (she's also a friend....her daughter and my son are the same age and go to the same high school, plus they live right around the corner from me....so while she started out as a "professional acquaintance" we have developed into rather good buddies) and she has offerd to look after Patches while we're away. She's a "cat person" and has a tender heart so I know she will be attentive and kind (and not too freaked out if she need to clean up kitty vomit or something equally as gross). She's aware of her health issues and would know when to seek vet assistance if needed.

Such a relief . Just nice knowing that plan is in place if the old girl is still here in August.

Now...if someone could just confirm that MNSSHP rumor!!!

 

[BudgieMama]

Got my final ADR sorted today- for some reason, when I accessed the website on my tablet, I couldn't access ADR dates for any of the Fantasmic Packages after May 20th... but on the laptop at home today it was behaving properly, so all my ADRs are booked. Hooray!

We got all our ADRs today too. I'll post them when I get home but we got mama melrose, sci fi dine in, biergarten, le Cellier, 1900 pk faire dinner, raglan rd, and Tusker house! Very happy with the time selections.

That's great news!

I've been excited for all you for getting your ADRs! I've been trying to get in the moment and decide which ones I would want, though, and other that Via Napoli just can't decide; for places and/or times. And I think I've figured out why. I like to have a general plan for each day, but I do like to kind of wing it. I like to be somewhat flexible. What if I'm not very hungry? What if I want to leave the park earlier or later? And both kids are so picky and only like the "basics." So it's hard to justify the extra cost for them when they just want to get mac n cheese or chicken. I just can't get myself to commit...

I do really want to see BOG, but I'm not thrilled with the food choices so I think we'll get a FP+ for lunch and get desserts to share I've been flirting with the idea of a Boma dinner, but it sounds loud and expensive. I'm not sure I can justify it. I don't know. I still have time to think about it. Has anyone else gone to either; what do you think?

I promise to update everything this weekend. I know I am a little behind but I have been preoccupied. We put an offer on a house last weekend which was accepted, so we have been quite busy. Home inspection was today which went really well. I am really excited, but nervous at the same time. Anyway, I will update the lists this weekend everyone.
