OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

Not open for further replies.
Poor hubby, he thought he was covering the anniversary this year but we'll miss it by a few days, lol!

We definitely want to do a character meal (besides cinderella dinner) this time.

Which one would y'all suggest? I'm thinking a breakfast maybe? Oh and if you know how many it "uses" on the dining plan that would be helpful, too.

We liked Chef Mickey's and Crystal Palace breakfasts last year. All of the character dinings besides Cinderella's Royal Table and Mickey's Backyard BBQ are 1 TS, those two are 2 TS's. I don't think you can really go wrong with the breakfasts, most of them have pretty standard breakfast buffet fare!

And you could always tell them when booking ADR's that it's your anniversary. They don't need to know dates!
 

Has anyone done the Ohana breakfast? We are thinking about that one as the middle girl is a stitch lover, and with two mini's I kinda like the idea of them passing the food to us rather than trooping the kids up for the food.
 
2 rooms at the Pop Century (This is new for us too)
Got everything we wanted. Trying everything new except for LeCellier.
July 21st Chef Mickey 5:10 p.m. dinner
July 22nd LeCellier 12:25 I wanted dinner, but the rest of the family did not
July 23 O'Hana Breakfast w/Lilo & Stitch 10:00
July 24th Plaza 5:45 dinner (Is this place good?)
July 25th Whispering Canyon Cafe 5:05 dinner
July 26th Mama Melrose (Spectromagic dinner) 3:55 dinner
July 27th Kona Cafe 5:35 dinner

I hope these are all good places to eat. The past 3 years we have done some new things, but this year is almost entirely new.
90 days out is exciting! And a relief!
 
DW and I will be staying at Pop Century from July 9th-July 29th. :goodvibes

:thumbsup2 Added your ADRs. Just to confirm - For Mama Melrose, I think you meant Fantasmic Dinner Package, not Spectromagic, right??

I just got off the phone with the most excellent "Rosanne" from Disney Dining. :goodvibes We got almost exactly what we wanted, our first choices for everywhere, within 15 minutes at worst. This was much easier than in Dec 2007 when I tried to make ADR's on site when we checked in to our resort for a New Years trip. :rotfl2:

These times may seem late to some, but we are two night owl adults without any kids, so we don't have to worry about any little ones falling asleep at the table. For our July 22-28 Anniversary Trip we have:

July 22 Liberty Tree - 8:30pm
July 23 Coral Reef - 7:05pm
July 24 Brown Derby Fantasmic! Package - 4:25pm
July 25 Cinderella's Royal Table - 8:00pm
July 27 Tusker House - 8:15am
July 27 Raglan Road - 9:00pm
July 28 (our 8th Anniversary) California Grill - 8:15pm

We are staying at Coronado Springs, so expect several breakfast or lunch trips to Pepper Market in between those.

During our honeymoon at Disney we dined at the California Grill, so that one is a special surprise that my DW doesn't know about. :yay:

The only ADR that I absolutely couldn't get was July 23rd at San Angel Inn for lunch! She offered a 4:30pm ADR, but pointed out that we already had plans to eat at Coral Reef 2 1/2 hours later. lol I had no idea it was so popular. We had decided that if we can't get in there, we'll just do a CS for lunch, so that's no problem.
 
Not sure if I got added to the ADR list but just in case it is July 4th at 7:50pm at Le Cellier.

:thumbsup2 Is that your only one? Or did you post them all and I missed them somewhere? :confused3
 
I changed an ADR today....

We are no longer dining at Tepan Edo on 7/6. We will now be at Kona at 6:30.

Prior to that we will be at the AAA Story time at 5:15. I am hoping to hop on the monorail and get to Kona for dinner. Am I crazy? I know it would be easier to eat in MK but the crew I am going with will want cocktails w/ dinner. :)

Okay, maybe this is my mistake, but I have you on the list for Le Cellier on 7/6, not Teppan Edo. :confused3
 
So DH said yes today to doing the deluxe dining plan. We are only staying on site 2 days and it looks like we will be spending most of it eating:rotfl: We will be there for a full three days so I think it will be good.

I could have called yesterday but I still don't know my plan. I am having a hard time planning, I don't know why. I think it's because we are going with his family but we are going early so I'm not sure what to do without them and what to wait for them to do. I'm not sure how much time they plan to spend in the parks, not sure how much time we plan to spend in the parks since we have never been in the summer. Just generally not sure of much.:confused3
