However Peeps won't be my downfall - it'll be the chocolate bunnies!

I actually do not like Peeps at all, my downfall are the Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs - they have a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio taste so much better than peanut butter cups!

I had another dis member PM.. we now need only 2 more people I just want to clarify that the cruise reservation has not been made since I have to wait for my ADR date .I am hoping to first get a group of 10 together since my friends and I are only 3 and the cost would be too much for our small group. Luckily, as of this morning we only need to find 2 more people. Please send us lots of pixie dust.

Come on fellow DISers, come join us!!!

I would so love to be able to do either the Wishes or IllumiNations cruise. they sound spectacular. There are so many things I want to try though that there is NO way to fit it all in this trip. I guess that just means we will have to go back!

This is the best part of not being able to fit everything in!

I couldn't agree more! The EGGS are so awesome!

No kidding! I'm already wondering when I can go back again! LOL

Well my coffee table has officially become Disney planning central. I am drive my poor dh nuts. It is going to be a long 2 weeks but I think I am ready for the 26th. I got dh golf days worked in, along with the pirate league. Going to do MNSSHP on the 25th.

All I have to do is research what days are the Alice/Mad Hatter Tea party and pick a pirate cruise for my dd. That will be tomorrow.

I will feel so much better 2 weeks from tonight.

I just found out the other family we are going with has to cancel! :-(
She foudn out she is pregnant with baby number 2 and would be about 8 months pregnant for our trip. Luckily we booked two separate rooms at poly instead of a villa somwhere else. My question is anohter friend of mins said maybe her family would liek to go with us now. Is there anyway to change the names on the reservation. I read that you can't change the lead name on reservation. I also read that someone paid $50 to get a name changed.
i thought it would be great if my other friend could take over the old ressie and get the great 40% pin code deal I got for my first friend.

OMG you guys, it's like a Philly girl's dream come true! Look at the band rumored for October 24-26. That's the week I'm there! OMG, OMG, OMG!! It's fate!

Gin Blossoms September 27-28
* Taylor Dayne September 29-October 2
* 38 Special October 3-5
* Starship Starring Mickey Thomas October 13-16
* Boyz II Men October 24-26
* Hanson October 31-November 1
* Big Bad Voodoo Daddy November 11-13

So now we've come to the end of the road (end of the road, end of the road you know I can't let go baby, yea-eh-eh...)

My north Jersey born and bred DH is so thrilled by this, btw.

I would love to see Boyz II Men. Here is a question though, do we have to buy seperate tickets for this?

 

[NYEmomma]

Thanks for all the well wishes, guys! I think it's finally all straightened out. Went through our insurance company and they gave us a respectable price for our car, so we settled & after several PAINFUL days of car shopping, I finally found one that was in our price range and big enough for us (and didn't reek of cigarette smoke ).

Of course, we ended up negotiating at the dealership until 11 p.m. the night before our 180-day an then once we finally got the car, we realized as we were driving home that the *%&@^ tail lights didn't work & had to take the car back to the shop the next day.

And, of course, I completely forgot about yesterday being our day to make ADR's until about mid-morning. I swear, I have the worst luck! But I managed to get everything we wanted at really reasonable times, so I'm thrilled.

Here's our ADR's:
10/10 -- Akershus @ 8:20; Biergarten @ 5:30
10/11 -- Tony's Town Square @ noon (not sure if we're keeping this or just doing 2 CS's)
10/12 -- Boma @ 10:15 (adding Wishes Dessert Party when/if they're released)
10/13 -- Sci-Fi Drive-in @ 5:35
10/14 -- Chef Mickey's @ 8:10

What do you guys think??

No separate tix required...basically it is first come first serve, a line starts forming an hour or more before the show outside the theatre, there are 3 shows per evening, 5:15, 6something and 7:30?

Glad to hear everything worked out with the car, and congrates on getting all the ADR's you wanted. I wish my ADR day would get here.

So happy to hear that you have gotten everything worked out with your accident. I'm sure that is a weight off your shoulders.

YEY for getting your ADR's as well. They look good!

I make my ADR's next Monday and this will be my VERY FIRST TIME making ADR's. I am feeling a little less stressed about it reading about people who have overslept, etc. and still gotten everything they wanted.

OMG you guys, it's like a Philly girl's dream come true! Look at the band rumored for October 24-26. That's the week I'm there! OMG, OMG, OMG!! It's fate!

Gin Blossoms September 27-28
* Taylor Dayne September 29-October 2
* 38 Special October 3-5
* Starship Starring Mickey Thomas October 13-16
* Boyz II Men October 24-26
* Hanson October 31-November 1
* Big Bad Voodoo Daddy November 11-13

So now we've come to the end of the road (end of the road, end of the road you know I can't let go baby, yea-eh-eh...)

My north Jersey born and bred DH is so thrilled by this, btw.

O.M.G. It's like High school all over again!! Now to convince DH to go to Boys II Men with me! lol Where are these concerts, because I so want to see them too?

ETA - Ok it's not encouraging when DH says "Who are they?" And then I mention song names and he's still confused. We have completely difference tastes in music.

10 more days until I can make my ADR!!! I really need to finalize it all up. We're driving to NH the day before I can make my ADR, so I feel I'll have tons of time on the drive to really sort my stuff out. DH and I are very simple eaters (no fancy food/sauces or anything for us) so we're actually finding it a bit difficult to find places to eat. I think our biggest issue is the places we want to try are at resorts, which cuts into our park time. You would think 10 days at Disney would be enough time! lol

Nothing the week Im going I hope that will mean less crowds

 

[msmith1026]

Too Funny...I have been worried too about FD coming out on April 15 and it making harder for me to get my ADRs on the 22nd.

I make my ADRs on the 24th and I'm hoping there's no FD until after that date. I'm already stressing about making my family's ADRs as it is!

Has anyone had any experience with doing their ADRs on a holiday morning? I can do them on Easter, and plan on getting up at 6am to do them first thing, but I have been wondering if maybe because it's a holiday people aren't thinking about ADRs? I've already told my husband our daughter can't get out of bed until at least 7:15 so I can call for BBB and the Wonderland Tea Party.

Nothing Yet but they will be releaseing who will be there soon hopefully, as there is someone performing each evening during the F&W Festival

I am thinking like you that a lot may forget to call or have to call later due to holiday commitments
