Our Trick AND Treat- DD's Surprise Bday Trip! 11/4 Get Movin'

[Tnkrbelle565]

Tomorrow is ADR day!!!! Wish me luck. I think I'm going to brave the online system

 

[MomTo4+more]

I hope you get the places and times that will work out just right!

That is so sad about the two little girls. Do you think dad just feels overwhelmed? I was a nanny for a few years for a little boy who had lost his mom. This dad had lots of help, but it was still a huge thing to bear. I hope that their dad gets the help they all need.

Good Luck!!

Your goddaughter is adorable (and so is Aisling)! I think you should book the rest of the week too - then we would maybe overlap a day or two if I take the long weekend trip I am considering but shouldn't be. And of course I agree with the consensus on FB to upgrade to AKL! 'Cause you know money and missing more school is no big deal right?

Good luck with ADR's!!! Can't wait to hear what you decided on and what you get! And of course, how you like the online system.

Good luck, good luck, good luck!! Can't wait to hear how it goes.

Good Morning everyone!!!

I got up bright at early at 6am to do the online reservations system and I have to say....

I LOVED it!!!

No more dealing with less than stellar CMs that you have to ASK if they have a time maybe 5-10 minutes later. It tells you!!! AND no more freaking out that you are going to lose cell phone connection Plus you don't have to write down all the numbers....they are there

All around great experience!

Oddly, the ONLY restaurant all week that I got for the exact time I wanted was Le Cellier Everything else was 5 minutes earlier/later and 1900 PF was 10 minutes later. Which is fine with me but I have such a hard time remembering those stupid 6:55 times!!!

SOOOO INTRODUCING my finalized ADR list!!!

Friday- Chef Mickey's for a late Dinner

Sat (Aisling's actual Bday)- BBB Bright and Early at 8am!! and 1900 Park Fare for Cinderella's Dinner!

Sunday- Yak & Yeti for Lunch (MNSSHP that night)

Monday- Le Cellier for Lunch and Rose and Crown for dinner

Tuesday- Lunch at Crystal Palace

That's great! What fun you will have! I have to get all my ADR choices determined by next week so I can start calling in 10 days. I hope it goes as well for us as it did for you! You mentioned 6:55 times. It may be a silly question, but what does that mean?

 

[jenb1023]

Congrats on the ADR's! They look great! I think Le Cellier for lunch and Rose and Crown for dinner was a good choice. Glad to hear the online ADR system worked well!

Thanks Ladies!

Today I went to the Mousejunkies book signing. If you are looking for a really fun Disney book (it combines humor with planning)- get it. I think it's $10-11 on Amazon. All of the "junkies" were there so Aisling went around and got all of them to sign it. She was thrilled!

Kathy- you def. need to try the online system next week for your ADRs

Cathy- "6:55" means dinner at 6:55pm as opposed to 7pm. Obviously you always try to get ressies on the hour or half hour but they do seatings in 5 minute intervals. So if they don't have exactly 7pm for instance- they might have 6:55 or 7:05. It's just harder to remember the odd times!

Jenn- I think it's going to work out. I was worrying about the less extensive dinner menu at Le Cellier but Randy was happy to have lunch there and try somewhere new for dinner. I didn't book a time around Illuminations- although i could have. I just don't think Ash will last that long without dinner.

I wish I could try the online system again! I don't understand why it didn't let me book my yak & yeti online. Weird!

Did you associate your ressie number? You have to do that for it to unlock the other dates.

 

[jessica52877]

Yep, I had to stop and get it. Thank goodness (well kind of) the lady on the phone had given it to me earlier that morning.

So weird why it didn't work?!?!

Are you using MyPoints for Yak & Yeti? How far in advance do you think I should order my cards?

I want to say it was me! But then again I don't want to say that! Who knows!

Nope, free dining for me. Remember! Hey, do your dates qualify for the new free dining they just released? I bet they don't! Darn it!

I booked Yak & Yeti because you and Stacy loved it right? Lin really enjoys that type of food and Dallas too but then Lin said he didn't care if he ate there or not.

I read that it was taking some people almost 4 weeks to get their gift cards. I have usually gotten mine within 2 but the last took almost 3 (they were bath and body works and old navy). My friend ordered RF last night so I'll let you know how long hers take.

I read your PM and will be happy to do it for you! Guess I should respond in there but was thinking of going to bed. Just thinking about it though.

YOU ROCK!!! Thank you!

We did love Yak & Yeti. I don't know we ate at ESPN Zone later on because they practically had to roll us out of there! Get the fried wontons for dessert!!!

My dates do coincide with the new free dining but since we got 40% off with the AP rate (and I didn't have to buy a useless 1 day ticket to add on DDP), I think that getting the Quick Service only plan free and having to upgrade to reg. dining would be less of a savings. So I'll stick to the 40% off! I hate Disney math!!!

Thanks. It's helpful to know they book in 5 minutes intervals. I am so very much looking forward to not cooking for a week!
