Our Halloween Pop adventure with a 32 year old Disney Newbie -Trip report link pg. 34

[Goofy22]

Thanks for the good luck - what I really need are good cell phone reception vibes

And don't knock McD's romantic qualities - I met my Dh when we both worked there in highschool - there must be something in that grease because here we are almost 20 years later



I'm sitting here laughing because I meant my DH at McDonalds also while we worked there right out of High School! We've been Married 12yrs but have been going out for 18 yrs! I was 18 and I'll be 37 Wednesday!

.....There really must be something in the grease, that's hilarious!

Nothing like bonding over Big Macs...

and yay Mickey Mail!!!!! I missed so much when I went away for a few days and only had dial-up.... the Disboards didn't want to load.

I'm going to MickeyDs right now...either a Big Mac Combo or Chicken Selects Combo....and a Double Cheeseburger....want anything?

I am a doublecheeseburger girl myself - had on for lunch in fact

I met my first DH at McDonalds. We both worked there...well you all know there is a second DH now, so you can tell how fond I am at those memories of McDonalds. LOL! I do like the food still though. In fact taking DD there on Wed with a friend.

Too funny that we all met DH's working at McD's - there must be something that bonds people

For DH and I it was the chicken, fish and nuggets that we first met - but Big Macs are good too

DD gets Mickey since it's the 3-9 ticket - the rest of us don't care! Worked out well that way

Anymore girlfriends?

I'll be a bit sporadic the next couple of days. As I've talked about during my ADR musings, I go to camp with DD this weekend. It's a Lutheran camp in northern Wisconsin. I went there for years growing up, so it's really fun for me to take her there. This is my last year though, because starting next year she would go by herself if she wants to go. She's getting so old! Anyway - I should have an update Sunday night since I have to try and make my ADR's by cell phone Sunday morning.

 

[DreaGirl]

Have fun!!

Good luck making your ADRs! I hope you get good cell reception and get all that you want.

Have fun!

We're back and had a good (albeit rainy) time at camp - I'll give my ADR update next.............

 

[Goofy22]

I hear ya on the rain! We were at Hershey Park and it Down Poured!!!! It was crazy! and all the ppl wen t running for the exits like they could get somewhere fast! lol! Can't wait to see your update on ADR's!!

 

[joy13]

So here's my ADR "update".....

So we are at camp as I have mentioned 100 times prior So my plan was to get up at 5:45 and go find a place where I wouldn't wake anyone to call Disney. I had my cell alarm set to vibrate to wake me up, which meant holding my cell phone all night so it would wake me up, but not the other Mom and two kids in the room. I didn't sleep real good because DD was sleeping rather restlessly and I was worried about sleeping through my alarm, so I woke on my own around 5:40am. I had great cell reception from the common area of the building we were staying in, so that was perfect. I followed the Unofficial Guides instructions perfectly of starting to call a few minutes before 6:00 CST and about the 4th try they were open. I got through right away, didn't have to be on hold at all So I gave her my reservation number and told her the first ADR I wanted to make was CRT and she was waiting on the computer, then she says, "what's your check-in date?" and I first incorrectly said 10/26 because I was looking at my sheet and that's the first date I need an ADR for then corrected myself and said 10/25. So then she says......................










































"Your reservation window doesn't open up until tomorrow"

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that planning and worrying and I can't even make my ADR's - are you kidding me??!!! I didn't say that, but it's what I was thinking. So I hung up and went and took a shower. Then while getting ready I thought, I did tell her the wrong day at first, so after I was dressed (around 6:30) I called again - I got right through this time too - which I found interesting. But this person also confirmed that my date is tomorrow So I will get up early tommorrow morning too and do them online. So hopefully tomorrow I'll have a more exciting update.

I'll give a camp update after I upload my pictures

Thanks! I'm just striking out with Disney today - I thought I could get the free Quick service plan (since we are staying at POP) and pay the difference to upgrade to the regular dining plan. So I called - no go - I would have to switch to a moderate to get the regular - which is way more than what we would save. Oh well!

 

[jordanyosh]

Sorry about the WDW misfortunates! Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day and you are able to get most, if not all, your ADRs....

 

[KathyRN137]

Sorry about the mix-up... that must've been disappointing!

Good Luck tomorrow!
