*~* Official POFQ September 2012 Roll Call - List in Post 1 - Join Us! *~*

[BearcatsFan]

We'll be there 9/1-9/5. Wish it was for longer but the kids will already miss 2 days of school!

We also have free dining but upgraded to deluxe! We decided we'd ONLY eat at places we haven't been to before so we have the following reservations:

Yak & Yeti (L)
Jiko (D)
Chefs de France (L)
Cape May Clam Bake (D)
Donald Duck Tusker House (B)
Kona Cafe (L)
Hoop De Doo Review (D)
Tutto Italia (L)
50s Prime Time Cafe (D)
Raglan Road (L)

Super excited!

So glad you decided to join the conversation! Looks like you also got great ADRs. Being in Florida, I'm guessing you are driving, right?

I'll add you to the list.

 

[BearcatsFan]

Yes, we are flying JetBlue... the rates were HIGH! but I was afraid to wait any longer with gas prices going sky high.

I'm very excited about this trip and our ADR should be fun. Our last trip to DW was in 2006, so it's been a while. We stayed at CBR last time, and wanted to try a new resort and all new dining. With a super picky 12 year old, the dining is a challenge, but I think that she will eat something everywhere we planned. The only compromise we had to make was the choose a different day for 'Ohana.

Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to the conversation!

Yes, that's why we bought our tickets already also. I watched them keep rising and just decided to go ahead and jump on it before they got any higher.

Welcome to the DIS also - I just noticed by your post count that you're a newbie.

By TT, do you mean Test Track or Tower of Terror??

TT is Test Track. There's been talk of a refurb for a while now, but the official closing date has just been announced, which is what MrsKreamer was referring to.

 

[BearcatsFan]

So is anyone else planning to put the lime green Mickey head in their window to show they're a DISboard member?

WE ARE!

 

[DisneyFreq]

Yes! Driving! Its only a little over 6 hour trip from here.

As for the green mickey's.....wussed out on one trip. Guess I was afraid weird ppl would come talk to me but then I saw a couple wearing them (pinned to their sleeves/packs). I didn't say anything to them but I pointed them out to my husband. lol....like animals at a zoo....also pointed out every one I saw in windows. Maybe I will be brave and display my green Mickey!

 

[MrsKreamer]

Wanted to add on that we reserved Hoop de doo review, 50's prime time cafe, Crystal Palace, Ohana and 1900 Park Faire. All new restaurants to us!

Last time I didn't. This year I think I want to go all out. I think I am going to laminate a few to use as luggage tags/little badges for us to wear in the park. I also want to decorate our window or door...

HEY ... you sayin' we're wierd? Seriously though, I've been lurking here a long time, and when I first found out about the LGMH, I would point others out to DH also (as you said, much like animals in the zoo) LOL Now I think it would be cool to put one up and just see if anyone is brave enough to talk to me ... of if I'm brave enough to walk up and talk to someone else!

There is a great template HERE for the LGMHs you can print out and laminate. You can also pick up the lime green Mickey paint chips at Home Depot and laminate them if you don't want to use the template.

I made a big one to put on our window - I'm planning to go all out decorating the window as well. DH thinks I'm a complete and total nutcase!

Anyone know if POFQ allows tape to be put on the windows for the purpose of decorating? I'm not talking gobs of it, just small strips?

Use suction cups.. thats what we did at POP last year and at POR and CBR years ago.. I think I shall put one up in our window..if I remember by Sept!

WE ARE!

Yes! I've never decorated our window before but since amlot of people from the disboards will be staying at POFQ at the same time I think it will be fun.

 

[MrsKreamer]

Great idea about the suction cups!!!

 

[BearcatsFan]

The suction cups are a great idea - did you use a bunch of small ones or what KrazyMom? Where did you get 'em? Inquiring minds want to know!

So should we all come up with something to put in our windows, or will the LGMH suffice? Is anyone planning to put their DISname on there?

 

[Ginamarie]

Glad you decided to join us! Have you decided on ADRs or MNSSHP yet?

I used the small ones.. and I got them at target.. where the hooks and such are.. then there are no worries about any type of damage. I also had window gel clings at Pop.. ( pic in my TR I believe)....

I'm not sure what I will do exactly..I'm hoping as we all get close we can arrange a few mini meet ups maybe?

 

[Danascraps]

Hey, we want to go to Universal for Harry Potter one day. Is it easy to take a cab from POFQ directly to universal?? or is there a better way?? Thanks!

 

[aubriee]

I'll be at POFQ Sept 1st-8th.

(I'll also be back there Oct 27th-Nov 4th.) I booked both trips under the bounceback deal when I was at WDW last Nov/Dec.

It depends on how many are in your party. I always use the Mears vans. It's $19.00 round trip per person and depending on how many people they are picking up at your resort, they may make another stop or two. However, I've used them multiple times (at least four times a year) and have never had a problem getting over to Universal well before park opening. They let you choose your pick up time. Then about an hour before you're ready to leave Universal to go back go POFQ, just give them a call again for a pick up time. To arrange a pick up time to get from WDW over to Universal though, you do need to call the day before. You can't just show up that morning and expect to get on a van.

Looks like you booked some great places!

for the info. I'll look at Target next time we're there.

The mini meet-ups sound great! I guess for me it will depend on where I am day to day, then I have family in Orlando who tends to call while we're in the park and say "Guess what? We're near Pecos Bill's! Come have lunch!" But I am definitely interested!

to our group! I'll add you to the list on the front page. What ADRs have you made?

I am also hoping for a BB to be there when we go this year - gonna try to book ASMu for next Fall ... then hoping for another BB next Fall ... because I ultimately want to book CSR for our 15th anniversary trip in 2014.
