I'm afraid to re-evaluate my plans...once I start tinkering...we could end up in an igloo in africa.

I love it!!! You never know, with all the shuffling around....it could happen!

I'm hoping that it doesn't get realy busy untill at least the 11th..

I haven't had a hard time changing my adr's around

That's what I'm thinking. Since there are still ADR's to be had, I don't think it's going to be TOO busy until it gets closer to that weekend.

I've updated the hours on my itinerary and my spreadsheet. Now I have to really look at my plans!

I shifted my plans around a tiny bit. It's really not as bad as I thought. Our plans are all pretty much the same, I just updated the hours on my itenerary as well as fireworks/parade (spectro) schedules. Instead of having a certain plan for each day, I've added an alternate plan incase we change our minds. I think it will give us more flexability and will be less stressful if we get there and the crowds are bad.

The one main change that I made was on Superbowl sunday. We are to be at Epcot that day. Dinner at Teppan Edo early. Then I had us trying to run to DHS for Fantasmic and then run to MK after that for EMH.(this is IF the Saints DON'T play in the superbowl) But now I think we can do Fantasmic on the 11th much easier. So that puts us running around a lot less on the 7th. If the Saint's DO play in the superbowl then we will be watching the Superbowl after Teppan Edo at a STILL undecided destination. (probably our room because DS will be tired) Kick off is 6:30pm!! We'll see if we make it to the EMH after the Superbowl or not. I guess that will depend on if DS wants to get up and go again.

 

[englishrose47]

I wanna see Spectro once while I'm there !! So am looking to change my 10th adr from Cape May to Tony's !!!!

 

[k_reile]

this is the first i have heard about the hours changes and i just printed out new tour guide mike things today but i will admit i did not look at them completely. and we just finished putting together our park booklet today!

Though I just downloaded the new verizon disney parks app and it has EVERYTHING on that thing! LOVE IT!!

Forgive me...Friday's and Saturday's are my run around days...which equates to my no time for the DIS days (boo ). So I am catching up from what I missed.

I was laughing so hard when I found them...How sad is it that I'm so easily ammused by farts? My mother would be ashamed.

Lol. Heck...my whole family is ammused by farts. Especially my 2 year old. He likes to point out when someone has "P-u tinky farted". Is it TMI to also mention he tells us "I'm so proud of you" whenever we use the bathroom? It's just too bad he's not that into being potty trained yet.

i tried i showed them the menu, but they wanted somewhere where the food was a little more pricey, they like the places that cost more on the dinning plan so they feel they are getting more for there money if they do that.

Makes since to me. It's most likely what I'd do (will do) if we ever used the dining plan.



Wow. The hour changes are...wow! DH and I are so going one of these years and taking full advantage of EMH hours.

 

[englishrose47]

I changed my ressie to Biergarten at 4pm !!!On the 10th I can then watch Spectro after dinner !!!! Tony's was not available !!!

 

[vamassey1]

I've spent most of my day working on itinerary plans. I'm trilled they've added another Fantasmic. Now we won't be as rushed.

 

[glennbo123]

Though I just downloaded the new verizon disney parks app and it has EVERYTHING on that thing! LOVE IT!!

I'm glad you mention that....I saw it and wondered about it. I was thinking to wait until closer to our trip though. Do you think it would help with planning, or is it more useful for when you are actually at the parks?

Chapter 74. WDW 2010, the year of change.

As I started going over my itinerary for the first time in a loooong time, I noticed that my vacation is going to be much different than in years past.

Rooming assignments: While I've stayed on my own before, it's the only the 2nd time in 11 trips with Wendy that she and I won't be sharing accommodations for at least a portion of the trip. As they are not doing the Water Park Plus Option now, I will have even more time on my own. I had to go back and re-examine the itinerary to make sure we had enough together time before they leave on the 14th.

Resort choice: Since 1997, out of 10 trips to WDW, 7 included a portion (if not all) of the trip at an Epcot resort (BWV, BCV or YC). This will be the 1st time since 2002, that at least a part of my trip will NOT include a few nights at one of those resorts. With the support of many people here, I am trying the AKV for the first time. I was so apprehensive about the switch that I called Wendy a few weeks ago to try and switch to BWVs--no availability...

Restaurant choices: I am a person of habit--15 trips to WDW since 1991 including this upcoming trip, nuff said. I almost always go to Chefs, CA Grill, Flying Fish, Prime Time Cafe and Teppan Edo. This trip, however, I am trying several new restaurants--Kouzzina, Boma, Sanaa, Raglan Road, the Wave and Kona Cafe.

Park time: As I was planning this trip, I noticed something. I actually started setting real expectations for each day. I didn't plan too many days for rope drop. I planned more down time. I added in more flexibility. I also am thinking alot this time about relaxing. Maybe it's my age (waiting on comments about that one), maybe it's my work schedule, but I just want to sit on a bench somewhere and people watch.

Air travel: I am flying something other than Delta for the first time and I'm pretty sure I've only done a connecting flight 2x in 15 trips.

I thought about this tonight and really I have to thank all of you for opening me up to change. I've been exposed to things on DIS that I don't think I would ever have the opportunity to experience otherwise. I know what it's like to live in snow, sort of. I've seen Savannah; I've been to the Dells; I've travelled to Greece--all through other people's eyes. I feel like I've been to Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Washington... I've seen the streets of NYC. I've gained understanding of what it's like to live in a blended family. I've gained appreciation of those who have children with disabilities. You all have changed who I am and how I view the world. I am a better person because of all of you.

I usually know what to expect from my WDW vacations, but with so much change, it's going to be so different this year. I have you all to thank for that.

That is a GREAT summary!
and you are such a GREAT guy!

*DIS Meals

I just added Tusker House on Wednesday night, but since it's Winkers and Rosie's last night, I am open to change. It came down to Tusker House and Captain's Grille, but since I was already at AK for evening EMH, it became a matter of convenience. I'm still kind of upset they switched Tusker House to a TS/Buffet as I LOVED it as a Counter Service Restaurant. However, I do want to try it out as a Buffet and it's somewhere I haven't tried before so...there you go.

Thursday the 11th and Sunday the 14th become non-park days. This opens up the 12th, 13th, 15th evening, 16th afternoon/evening and 17th as park days. I have a ton of free time. I'm sure the 12th and 13th will be spent with Wendy and gang since they are leaving on the 14th. Like I said before, this will be a very special episode of Jordan's WDW 2010 with all the down time. Watch out Blossom!

The matter of a possible bounceback. It's not completely out of the question if I receive a bounceback that I would return again this year. It's just a matter of when. It would probably have to be in the late fall.......suggestions?

I'm getting out the canoe, some galoshes, an umbrella, my swimsuit. If you haven't heard, we're supposed to get hit with a series of storms on the West Coast. 4-8 inches over the next 5 days. We haven't had rain like that since 2005 (I didn't know that, but that's what the Greg Forbes of the Weather Channel said. He's bald and wears glasses so I believe him). It's raining right now. People in SoCal can't drive in dry weather. The next week will be crazy as far as accidents of the freeways....

Okay that's all I got......for now.

Click here for next installment.

Also a great summary/iten for the trip - I hope you are doing well with all the rain. We get lots of rain but it's flat down here so no mud slides just water getting higher and higher and get out the pirogue.

that's funny! Has he announced that in a public bathroom yet?

Lmao. Try in the middle of a dead quiet UPS store regarding farting.

AND later told my mom he was proud of her for pooping the in the potty in the restroom of Johnny Rockets! :roftl:

I hope you are writing those kind of things down...I've tried to keep a notebook of funny things my kids have done over the years...It's a lot of fun to read.
