OFFICIAL October 2009 thread - LET US KNOW YOUR PTR LINK!

keep checking!!! thanks to my wonderful friends on the disboards, i found out that after my 90 day window(july 2nd) and my ta being told the F! packages were all gone, it wasn't true!!! i found out last monday night i think by simply stumbling on the thread. we were all told it wasn't loaded into the system, or it was full, etc. last wednesday it was and thanks to everyone here, i called my ta and she managed to book it. keep trying!

I can't make an ADR for Spoodles or Kouzzina either. I had to call Disney Dining about something else and the wonderful CM checked into it. Her supervisor said that neither is in the system yet (this was last Wednesday) because they are not certain how long the changeover will take. As soon as they know definitively that Kouzzina will be open it will be made available for booking. At least, that is what I was told!

keep checking!!! keep trying!

Good advice. The online reservation system sure makes the process easier! If I happen to be up at 2:00 am and want to check on an ADR I can!! Just last night I was able to secure a dinner ressie at Sci-fi whereas previously, only lunch slots were open. People change plans and cancel things all the time.

 

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

congrats!!! i wasn't brave enough to try the online adr's, plus my ta had all my info so she did the work for us. a friend of mine is going a few days before we are and called at 7am, was told no, called back 20 minutes later and sure enough there were ressies for what she wanted!

I betcha' didn't really want to know all of that !!

Of course I did!
Universal is actually a pretty fun place to visit! You'll have to go when Harry Potter Land if finished.

I love Sea World and never feel like I have enough time to see everything I want to. I just get plain exhausted there! I would like to see Busch Gardens too. That'll be a fun trip!

You had me at Harry Potter! Hopefully they will do some cool rides or something. I love Busch Gardens and Sea World, haven''t been there in ages!

I cant wait the trip...Anyone started making a packing list yet?! LOL!!

I have one going on in my head, just need to get it on paper!

 

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

i've got atleast three circulating around the house!

I cant wait the trip...Anyone started making a packing list yet?! LOL!!

In 2007 I found printable Disney countdown calendars. I cannot remember where I got them from. Does anyone use particular countdowns???

Last time I did the months with the Disney pics on them 2 months out and we crossed off the days. I also got a huge Mickey helium baloon the week of our trip.

I found last years list and I am making some adjustments! Now I know what I need and what I don't!

 

[eeyoregon]

Ok, in the "old" days of ADR's I had to invest in a long distance phone call and time the hours of operation right in order to book or cancel an ADR.

But now I can tinker 24/7 and I'm thinking it's not a good thing !! So, here are my revised, yet again, ADR's:

October 3 Teppan Edo dinner
October 4 'Ohana dinner
October 5 Sci-Fi dinner
October 6 Kona dinner
October 7 Boma dinner
October 8 Grand Floridian Cafe dinner
October 9 Yak & Yeti lunch and 'Ohana dinner

= one of those is gonna have to be OOP which will probably be Yak & Yeti as it looks like the most affordable of the eight.

I, Gina aka eeyoregon, promise not to tinker with my ADR's for at least 5 days.

Welcome Maleficent!! The DIS is a very dangerous addiction! But a fun one!!

Where are you staying?

 

[torsie24]

So, I just bought Ridemax!!

It's looking very helpful!! And for $18 it's worth it for the fun factor for obsessive planners like myself!!

It only has dates up to the end of August at the moment, but it's great fun!

Are any of you doing a meal pre-MNSSHP? I just can't decide! Might have a look online and see how CP is looking around 4pm for our party date!

I think that we are just going to do a counter service meal the day of the party. CP and LTT just doesn''t really appeal to me, and my husband is a super picky eater (makes ADRS very challenging!!) We talked about Tony's but spaghetti and my kids...HUGE MESS! and I've considered the Plaza but c/s it is for us!

 

[lustergirl]

Good Morning everyone! One day closer to our trip. We are staying at POP (first time) October 1st- through the 6th, can't wait!!

 

[Maleficent72]

Welcome Maleficent!! The DIS is a very dangerous addiction! But a fun one!!

Where are you staying?

We are at All-Stars Movies, but the last two times we went we stayed at the Polynesian resort - however Times are tough and compromises had to be made! Just glad to be going back! A little to Type A in my planning, 99 days left and I have a complete time schedule made - fireworks, dinners, shows, whew, and of course the drinks and the W&F fest.
and your right, since I am not working during the summer, I am sooooo addicted already.
