PART THREE! *December 2012 Roll Call* Holidays, FLE & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

[Valgoof]

Thanks! MSEP is a must do at the request of our nurse and since she so willingly took off a week of work to travel with us I need to make sure we hit all her "must sees". Maybe we will attempt to see it on arrival night with the 12th as a back up if it rains. That would make arrival day a MK evening instead of Epcot, but that works too. With PM EMH hours on Monday it might make for less of an "end of the night mad dash to the bus" situation. We will just stay through Wishes and stroll on out then. One can hope, right?

Thanks for the info. If anyone has CS dining ideas away from the standard of burgers and fries please let me know. I eat grain free, but that can be as simple as just requesting no bun.

Columbia Harbor House in MK has a lot of fish options--salmon, fried shrimp, fried fish, tuna sandwich.
Flame Tree Barbeque in AK has barbeque. Lots of Disers love it. My DH didn't like his ribs last year, but we may have just hit a bad batch. My chicken was good.
Sunshine Seasons in Epcot--lots of different choices.

Yes. Some of the conference resorts charge a nominal fee, but yes, you can definitely ship from Amazon. There's a sticky on the Resort board with info.

Thanks, going to have to check that out. I have been trying to figure out where I am going to fit in a trip to Publix into my Monday. I don't want to waste park time lol.

Another question and this is important! What do you consider to be top 5 princesses? What about Tinkerbell? I have 5 frames for ornaments....I live Tinkerbell too.....

Cinderella, Snow, Sleeping Beauty, Belle and Ariel. Tink is a fairy, not a Princess.

Good news - FIL is feeling optimistic and his swallowing is improving. They haven't said anything about the trip specifically and we haven't asked. But I'm taking that as a good sign. From here on out I'm assuming Plan A though I won't cancel Plan B until the last minute.

Glad to hear he is improving!!

Yay! I am back - I had been avoiding this thread and all things Disney as it looked very, very likely that I was going to have to cancel my trip.

But we are a GO FOR DISNEY!!!! I can go back to obsessing now.

If you don't have an email from Walmart and its not showing up as a charge on your card than I'd imagine the order didn't go through. You might try emailing or calling their customer service before you order it again though.

Login to your account. If you placed the order, it should show there. If not, it might still be in your shopping cart.

That was going to be my suggestion. I wouldn't order again unless you have checked with Walmart. I've had a few random times with different companies that for whatever reason I never got a confirmation email but still got my merchandise. And I don't think it would show up on your card until shipped, so maybe not shipped yet

I went ahead and put it in my cart but I will wait a few days to see if it arrives before I order it again. Weird!! But I found the camera that I decided to buy from Amazon (Canon A2300), the same price at Walmart and it comes with a case and card, which were extra on Amazon. So I put that in my cart too.

We are gluten Free

Cosmic Rays in MK has Ribs

There is a place in MK in Liberty Square (don't know the name) that sells fresh fruit, baked potatoes, corn on the cob. It is never busy and out of the way. Love going there.

Flame Tree BBQ in AK

World Showcase in Epcot has a lot of options, also The Land Pavilion has a good CS.

I don't know about DHS because we normally don't eat there.

YAY!!! Glad your trip is still on and welcome back!!

 

[Valgoof]

Just noticed my ticker says 2 months!! Woo-hoo!!

Thanks.

We decided that MVMCP was a no go and are going to La Nouba instead on our last night. Do you guys think if we hit the 6:00 La Nouba that we could make it to the TTC in time for one last round of fireworks?

Hubby told me yesterday I was obsessed with All things Disney. I looked at him and said, you didn't know this when you married me 12 yrs ago? This because I was talking about the Disney Cruise out of Galveston.

Question - we decided MVMCP was a no go. I am still trying to make it a go on the 11th but it really depends on money. The only thing I want to see is the fireworks. If we hit the beach at Ft. Wilderness, I know we can see them, but will they have music or do they only do that for regular Wishes shows?

Liberty Square Marketplace -and they now have sweet potatoes too. Our favorite CS outside of WS. Easywdw did a review recently. Actually Josh has been covering all the CS locations in all the parks for the last month.

Of course, don't forget the pork shank at Gastons.

I know they have the Holiday music at California Grill, so I would assume they have the right music everywhere they usually do. That's what we decided to so - skip MVMCP and go to CG on a party night instead.

Thanks!

So early ADRs would really only be worth it if the park opens at 9, huh?

IMO, yes. That way you can get some great pics of a relatively empty Main St & Castle

Great news on the improvement

I'm not sure if you can see them from there but, to budget for our MVMCP I dropped our Park Hoppers - 5 PH's $293; 5 MVMCP tix $318

Yay awesome, my plan may work. I need to sit down with my ADRs and figure things out.

I SOOOO want to go on that cruise! I'm absolutely sick the one over our spring break leaves 2 days before the break starts. Since Galveston is within driving distance of us, I could actually justify spending twice the cost on the Disney cruise vs. Carnival, who we usually cruise on.

omg the Pork Shank from Gaston's Tavern is so good. MOIST, flavorful, and a ton a lot of meat! Positively primeval! http://t.co/NsVjCGIz

But it's not a snack credit like the geniuses @ Disney Parks Blog reported. You can see snack credit covered up http://t.co/JV3Wqjod

Ugh - the app is really killing me today.
