[PEANUT1]

Believe it or not I just got off the phone about 10 minutes ago.

I ended up having to call since the online system woudl not work for me other than for my arrival day to book anything. Every time I tried putting in my conf# it would say ok but when I would try to book anything it would ask me again for the confirmation number, I tried everything , tried bypassing that and pressing book reservation only to get and ERROR message.
I rebooted my pc twice, finally it was 7am so I called. only waited for maybe 5 minutes then got everything I wanted and only a couple were within 5-20 minutes of what times I wanted. Of course it did take about 40minutes to book everything over the phone.
I am so happy that is done!

The CM checked on Wishes Dessert Party for my dates but she said it seems they are releasing that around the 90 day mark, which I already knew

Then I had her switch me over to another CM to check on my room requests since they are not showing online or on the confirmation I rec'd from Disney but they were there.

Looks great Sheila..the only thing I think I might worry about is when you only scheduled 4-5 hours in between the start of lunch and start of dinner...esp the day you are going to chefs de france. If you eat at 1pm and get out by like 2:15 you have very little time til dinner. Chefs de France lunch was sooooo good when we went last time and sooo filling. I don't think we at dinner til after 730 that night You must be doing deluxe we are doing 3 nights deluxe this trip..it is so fun.

I'm on that same 176 day wait! Tick tock tick tock.....come on already!

Geez, it looks like I'm late to the party! My DFI (or by that time, DH!) will be going to the World for our Disneymoon! He didn't even need any convincing! We have been talking about going to Disney since we first started dating, but being college students, we don't have a lot of extra time or money lying around!

Our wedding date is October 1st. We leave the next day, October 2nd and stay through October 9th. We are staying at Coronado Springs, which looks to be a more "adult" and quiet resort, but it still looks to be very pretty! I got a 35% pin, which rocked! I also got us the DP, which will be nice, because we are "good eaters". We are trying to do just one TS/day. Our last night we'll get all dressed up and do a Signature at Artist Point!

I have been twice with my family, and he went once as a little boy, but only remembers seeing the castle.. So I'm trying to be semi-commando, so he can see everything, while still taking some chill time, because we are on our honeymoon after all! We already have one day laid out for pool time, a massage for me, and some DTD shopping..

We're doing MNSSHP, which DFI is sooo excited for! He is a film student with a focus on horror films and loooves Halloween. (We have a big Halloween party every year.) We are dressing up! I'm going as [Minnie]. I have the costume, which I'll wear with leggings and yellow Converse. (Cute, right?!) DFI is dressing up as Mr. Incredible. He's going to wear Mr. Incredible's "work outfit" with the dress shirt unbuttoned and an Incredible's t-shirt underneath. Sort of like the Superman costume like that.

I'm more excited for F&W! I'm totally drinking around the World!

Okay, did you guys like my novelization?!

Hmm you are right I may be changeing that one , not sure what we plan to be doing that morning, could be why I made Chefs for 1pm Thanks I reviewed my plans originally I had planned on Chefs at 12pm but then thought since we were going to DHS that morning I would move it to 1pm as Remy appears at 12:30 and 1:40 but if we got seated late at the 12 we might miss Remy.

I could move Cape May to later but I want to leave that night open in case we want to do MNSSHP. I guess we will have to eat light that afternoon.

 

[02AggieGirl]

My DH and I are sitting down this weekend to "talk Disney" as he says!! We are going to finalize our plans so I can make our ADRs on Tuesday. Very excited!

[Pixiedust530]

Has anyone been dropping hints to him?

I have been dropping hints LIKE CRAZY! Sometime a while back he said something about not having that kind of $$ for a ring before then. I said to him... "Do you really think I care about how much you spend or don't spend on a ring?" He looked at me a little silly....like, "REALLY?, You don't care?"

Just yesterday I was looking at a proposal idea thread on here and I showed him a pic of a guy on one knee in front of the castle. I was like "Isn's that just sooooo sweet?" He of course just shrugged.

Maybe if everyone here sens me a little extra Pixiedust that will help!

I am sending you lots of pixie dust I have found out over the years hinting to "some" men can be a total waste of time, it falls into the same catogory as their "selective hearing"

After your CRT, I'd go for your 'Ohana dinner, then Le Cellier lunch. Those would be my priority.

Ooooh, I wish we lived nearby and hung out. I would totally have DH say something to him.

We are eating a late lunch (2:40) at CRT on our party day. Thought about doing the dinner at 3:50 but I like the lunch menu better. But we aren't hopping this trip.

Dinner: somewhere close by for the cruise
Illuminations Cruise

I can't wait to hear that you got your cruise reservation. It was so easy. It almost seemed too easy. I'm still nervous.

Fri. 10/28: Epcot EMH 8 a.m. do rides early, then enjoy Food & Wine
Lunch: Biergarten @ 1 p.m.
Dinner: ?

I'm so glad they fixed the Biergarten glitch! I think they made that glitch on purpose. I'm looking forward to eating there now more than any other place.

 

[KEPE]

Catira, our plans sound so similar. Same parks on a lot of the same days and some of the same ressies too. I am doing CRT first, then 1900 Park, AK, Chef Mickeys, Via Napoli or Garden Grill (still deciding) and then at 7 MM F!, BBB on the phone and I'll book wishes and MNSSHP when they become available . So excited and nervous, lol, I'm such a dork

 

[Pixiedust530]

I'm just across the river from Indiana! I'm sure we could arrange something! LOL!

My best friend put him on the spot back in November he said "Sometime in the next year"! Those were HIS words! Our October trip is JUST before that year runs out...perfect, right?

 

[Pixiedust530]

Thanks for the pixiedust! I know what you mean about the hinting. He's not really good with hints....but I've been pretty blatantly obvious! I couldn't care less HOW he does it...but AT Disney would be a dream come true! Is that really too much to ask?

My DH never actually proposed, it is actually a funny story. We use to go grocery shopping at this strip mall and we had to pass a jewelry store each time. I would stop and look at the engagement rings in the window pointing out the ones I liked. After a number of weeks I had my heart set on this one so one day I said to him lets go see how much that one is.

We went in and I asked the clerk about that particular ring and she looked at DH and said so you two are getting married
What could he say other than yes so I got the ring of my dreams and we got married 3 months later

But to this day I can hint about something and unless I come right out and say what it is I want I might as well forget it since he either is not listening or playing dumb

Thanks for the advice

I can't wait to hear that you got your cruise reservation. It was so easy. It almost seemed too easy. I'm still nervous. Hope we have the same luck you did. Do you already have your group of ten together? Where will you be having dinner prior to the cruise? I have not decided where yet.

I keep reading great reviews and have decided to try it out.

Wow, if I had a dollar for every time I have changed my plans, or looked at the October calendars.

 

[Parla]

Hope we have the same luck you did. Do you already have your group of ten together? Where will you be having dinner prior to the cruise? I have not decided where yet.

No, I have a total of seven. There always seem to be people searching for one though so I'm not a big rush to find the other three. Mainly I would like it to be a group of three so we equal exactly ten. When you call they will ask for the names and ages of all the children. I don't think they asked for the adult's names but I definitely remember the children. She also made a point of saying no outside food or drink. Well, DD is diabetic and we don't go anywhere without our emergency stash in her bag so I hope they overlook it. I mentioned it to the CM but she kind of glossed over it mentioning that they would have chips and soda on the boat. Unless they have 100% apple juice that will do me no good.

My family will be spending the day at DHS so we will have 50's Prime Time for dinner before heading out just before park closing to take a boat to the YC.
