Good morning Everyone!

I am just excited that many of us are getting the ressies they wanted and October is getting much closer! It will be here before we know it!

We ended up getting all of the ADR's that we wanted on July 5th, I had to switch a lot of our days around though, and play with the times. Most I am happy with. I couldn't make the ADR's online since we have 11 in our party. I called right at 6am (my time), and got this really slow lady (although she was very friendly). She just wanted to talk about her son living in Houston, what all we should do our first time there, her favorite things, etc ...... I was just thinking to myself PLEASE HURRY I could be losing my ressies ..... but I was polite. After being on the phone for 1 hr and 15 minutes these are our ressies. We have deluxe dining. Any input?

I think you'll really enjoy the late CP ADR! From experience (i've had an 8:05am and a 10:40am) its a lot more relaxing with the later breakfast. We usually open the park at 9am, FP a few rides and pretty much complete fantasyland by breakfast! Its a nice relaxing break its not too crowded, and theres no panic when its 8:45 and all the characters havent made it around yet!! Ive had many "before the park opens" breakfasts and this is the case for me each and every time so I started making later breakfasts and I love it!! We'll be at CP at 10:20am (I wish i could get later) for my birthday breakfast on the 7th!

Congrats!

What is the slipper dessert at GF cafe? You sparked my interest!

 

[marielynn724]

yay! now that the hours have been posted i'm finally planning my theme park days and my dining. i'm starting to get really excited that the trip is only 3 1/2 months away. i'm especially excited for 2 things: halloween decorations (never been to disney in october before) and epcot food and wine festival!!

 

[taylor5]

Your counter says youre 90 days tomorrow...?!

We actually will be leaving on the 2nd to drive down, so I used that as our "official" vacation start time (plus it makes it feel like one day closer!!)

 

[taylor5]

Here is what I got at 7am Sunday morning, had to call because we were camping!

10/3 - Chef Mickey's 2:10pm - happy but would have liked something later
10/4 - Crystal Palace 10:05am - again, happy but would have like earlier
10/5 - Rainforest Cafe 5:00pm
10/6 - Coral Reef 1:20
10/7 - CRT 8:35am - yay, birthday breakfast!!!
10/8 - Hollywood & Vine 12:15pm
10/9 - Donald's Safari Breakfast 8:55am, Spirit of Aloha 8:00pm (cat.2)-would have liked a different day b/c of AK emh
10/10- Akershus 8:00am

Overall, I am pretty happy. I didn't get my parked days planned until the last minute so I am still not feeling completely confident, but there are some that I don't want to give up, so I guess I'll just play around until we leave to see if I can get some of the meals closer to times that I wanted.

I will look for you. Are the shirts with the picture you have as your avatar?

Yep!!

My avatar is the art I made up for my DATW tour at World Showcase last visit. People kept coming up to us, asking where we bought them!! Tempted to bring some extras along (and some buttons) and make a few bucks - or even just sell them at cost to share the spirit (pun fully intended ). Must have had 30 people a day coming over to us, especially when we were hanging out at the Rose & Crown

My husband and I would so love those shirts! I corrupted him..he used to be a bud man, and I am a Guinness girl so I used to pick on him because bud is nasty! But now he won't drink anything but imports..I have created a monster!
