PeepsII-The Hot, Sweaty Asian Strikes Back. Feb 2010. 12/2-Part 2 has begun.

[jordanyosh]

Ok, we took a look and compared our itenerary to yours. We will be in Epcot on the 7th too, as well as AK on the 9th, and DHS on the 10th!! We also have lunch planned at 50's. We were thinking 11 but may push it more toward noon because we aren't usually hungry in WDW by 11am. I need to be able to fit all that pot roast in my belly!!

Great minds think alike I guess.

I make sure I don't eat anything before THE pot roast....

Let me pull up my itinerary right now...okay...looking....

Also on thurs, fri and sat, we can adjust our plans to meet up if we haven't had enough time to spend together....

 

[jordanyosh]

I pretty much went with Touring Plans' info to create our itenerary. I hope it works! Here is what we've got:
Sat. 6th - Epcot *Coral Reef* tonight. (gotta have that octopus juice!)

Sun 7th - Epcot (I thought about changing one of these Epcot days because I usually like to spread them out rather than do the same park back to back. But I may just leave it and see how it goes.) *Teppan Edo* tonight.

Mon 8th - MK *O'hana tonight*

Tues 9th - AK & maybe a little DHS. Not sure because we are doing hoop dee doo this evening at 7:15 so we may just make a day of AK. (especially since we are doing DHS the next day)

Wed 10th- DHS *50's-lunch* / *Captain's Grill for dinner at the Yact/Beach Club* (just because we've never been)

Thurs 11th - AK / DTD *Donald's Safari Breakfast @ Tusker House* / *T-Rex for dinner*

Fri 12th - MK *Kona - dinner*


Sometimes I look at it and love it and sometimes I look at it and think I could/should change a couple of things. Who knows what will happen by February!!

I managed to plan around the Cheerleader thing. And yes, we are going to stick with OKW. With this deal we could upgrade to the Beach club or somewhere else for the price that we USUALLY pay at OKW for only 6 nights, but we have decided to keep the lower price and stay at OKW. We are still planning on doing a trip in June with my mother.

OKW....I almost regret changing to AKV, but I'm sure in the next 20-30 years, I'll have the chance to stay there....

I'll have to stop by and say hi and have a drink or two..

I'm on draft 4 right now...last trip I had 14 drafts...so things might change. it also kinda depends on the park hours once they get released. I am happy with it now.

We may end up at MK the morning of the 8th too, if Wendy can't get a good price for the redeye on the 5th. She may have to come in on the 6th and not have any park time. We'd probably do MK EMH (remember how good that was the last time or did you stay? I can't remember) on Sunday night and double back and do it again Monday morning before we head over to World Showcase.

Thats true! Thursday we will all be in DTD. On Friday we may do MK for most of the day then have our dinner at Kona around 6pm and then head to Epcot for the Evening Magic Hours. (assuming the EMH info I've gathered is correct)
We are leaving Saturday morning around 9 or 10 am so no parks on that day. BOO!

Oh yes!!! I forgot about the MK evening hours on Sunday. I knew I was forgetting something. I need to make a new page, I have little notes written all over the place. We will definitely head over to MK for that after Epcot & dinner. DH is wondering where he is going to watch the Superbowl. I'm thinking a little bit of everywhere! Just pop in somewhere and get a quick fix and head out for more fun.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh and about OKW, you can come check it out while we are there. We love it but you are right, you will make it there someday. It's not a huge rush. I kind of wish we would have branched out more before getting so settled into one place.

He can help me babysit! I'm babysitting while the adults go eat at the Wave.

I'm glad I've branched out. I've stayed in every category except Ft Wilderness and have not been disappointed yet from value to deluxe to DVC...

Orrrrr, Wendy may decide to do a day flight on Friday and all 5 of us will crash at Uncle Jordie's Pop pad for the night.... ha ha ha ha ha.

Hello Jordan!!!!!

I hope I'm not interrupting anything too special. I finally made it here to catch up on your PTR. I've missed a lot.

Congrats on getting your air booked.

I am both happy and jealous about your stay at AKL!!!

Your itin. looks good so far. I'm sure you'll get it ironed out before you go. With so many days it can't be easy.

I love all the pictures of you with the kids.

Feel free to jump in anytime!

I feel so lucky to be staying at AKV. I wouldn't ever be able to stay there solo if my cousins hadn't gifted me their points.

Chapter 37-A new wrinkle in the plans.

Before I get to details about the trip....

Here's what I did today

1) I took the 4runner in to be serviced

2) My roommate, Jean, and I went out to breakfast at the Original Pancake House. The original Original Pancake house is in Portland, although the one in Anaheim's been around since 1958.

Jean

She ordered the Dutch Baby:

I had the banana pancakes with tropical syrup:

We had a couple more hours to kill before my car was ready so we went to the Block (mall) and hung out at Borders. We drove by here on the way to the Block:

Then on to Borders:

Of course I only had one thing on my mind:

The tongue makes a guest appearance:

It's so weird how much things haved changed in such a short time. I think I was still buying the Birnbaums and Unofficial Guide til 2006. Wouldn't even buy one now...

On the way back to pick up my car. We drove by Angel's Stadium:

Dining news

I've been looking at my dining plans and I'm really bummed that I won't have more table service meals. I had thought about adding the regular Dining Plan to the front end of my trip. But somehow it didn't really feel right to have to have some TS meals alone while the rest of the gang was still there. With the solo part of my trip I have 3 TS meals scheduled with one more optional that would be OOP.

What I am now thinking of doing is adding the Deluxe Dining Plan....for 4 nights its about 280 dollars. I'm already spending 160 for the regular Dining Plan.....What Deluxe DDP gets me is 12 TS and/or CS credits to work with for those last 4 days....

So IF I were to do that here would be my TS/CS meals

Sunday 2/14: Dinner-Boma
Monday 2/15: Breakfast-Kona Cafe, Lunch-Leaning Palms, Dinner-Jiko
Tuesday 2/16: Lunch-Brown Derby, Dinner-Flying Fish
Wednesday 2/17: Lunch-Sanaa or Le Cellier, Dinner-CA Grill

I thought about whether it would be uncomfortable eating solo. Jiko, Flying Fish and Ca Grill all have counter top seating around a cooking area--very nice for singles to eat! For lunch or breakfast, I don't think it'll be as bad. Doing Deluxe allows me to complete the AKL trifecta. It also allows me to try Kona Cafe! the only regret...no Kouzzina--at least as of this minute. In order to fit 12 meals in 3 1/2 days I had to do alot of Signature Dining so Flying Fish took the place of Kouzzina.

I haven't even thought if I could afford it, although I'm pretty sure I would....

So what do you think? Should I pull the trigger? I don't need to pay for it right now. I can make all the ADRs and just cancel later.......

i just bought the complete idiots guide to WDW for my brother for his birthday! I didn't know they had it and it was too funny.

 

[All7OfUs]

For what it's worth, I'd go ahead and add it, if you don't think it'd be too much of a strain. I think having a few double credit meals would be great- single or not!! I could see going to Artist's Point or Jiko's a as nice bonus- and Hoop too!! Although, Hoop single, wouldn't be so fun; better with a group.

So tell me, if you get FD, can you pay the diff, and upgrade to DX?? Yeah, I know there's a whole thread on it, but a quick answer would be good from all of you in the know!
