Pickle part II

[Piglets Mommy]

Fell... yeah, that's it! She FELL out of the hammock. That's my story and I'm stickin to it!

SIX drinks!! It is all our fault...we made her do it...yep...what a sorry group of friends, the least we could have done is pay for those 6 drinks!! Better yet, we should have joined her!!

Drinks all around, pickles!! No drivin'!

(replace the coffe cup with the wine glass and there I am)

This is a GREAT idea - drink up everyone (but no driving, mind our Christine).

Ok...Off to get my vintage Polynesian Village Tiki glass and an ice cold glass of wine!

No drinkin for me tonight. I only got about 2 hours sleep last night... apparently I was drifting aff about the time that most of you woke up...4am. If I were to drink, I would be under the table and drooling on the floor!

And that's exactly WHY I'm drinking tonight...I'm hoping NOT to wake up at 4am tomorrow....here's hoping for 11-7

I'm not even going to try to quote all the posts (you guys were too talkative) and YES I skimmed a few.

I wonder if Tracy fell asleep in my hammock after being up so early this morning that she hasn't been on. I'm sitting on pins and needles wondering what she thinks of CSR and where her room is.

I made some ADR's--some were easy, some were not so easy (I couldn't get anything at Animal Kingdom except Rainforest and we don't are for it and nothing at the Studios but H&V--not ever again in my lifetime. So I got a 7:40 a.m. breakfast at Kona, a 3:55 p.m. lunch at Plaza, a noon lunch at Chefs de France and a 1:55 lunch at Mama Melrose. Also got a dinner at Fulton's at Downtown Disney (may cancel that one if we want to stay at park). I'm still going to try for Crystal Palace at some point.

Kathy,
Good luck on the Crystal Palace - I have gotten nada and I have tried B,L & D on most days I'm there. on your ressies - I have eaten at all but chefs de france - which I will be doing in Sept.

I think the fact that I'm going at the start of F&W, and Halloween at the MK is going on 3 nights is hindering my ADRs. But, I did score some good ones:

Sunday - Dinner, Flying Fish 6:10pm (first time!)
Monday - 1900 Park Faire, 8:15pm (first time)
Tues - open, probably heading to Halloween!
Wed - Dinner, CA Grill - one of my all time favs
Thursday - Lunch, Chef de France
Friday - Dinner, O'hanas, 9:15 pm (did this last year, a most do from now on).

I'm sure you must have been on all day! I'm happy you get to return "home".

Thanks, Janet. I have been flying all day. We're going to wait and do Flying Fish when we are on the dining plan; Chefs de France is new for us so we'll see how we like it. I just found a ressie at Crystal Palace...but it is 3:15 on the day we arrive and I'm worried we won't make it from the airport in time. I'll keep checking.


I want to try CA Grill the next time we are on the dining plan too.

You did great with what you have.

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Okay this is quick. We are here. Exhausted. Lots to tell. Having internet connection issues. Getting it fixed tomorrow. Will chat then. I can't even see straight!

Kudos on the CP ressie, I hope to be able to do breakfast or lunch. We are paying OOP for the FF ressie, figured it would be cheaper than CA Grill. Yes, I am happy with my list. (Did I mention we have free dining??)

Keep trying, I am determined to move my 9:15 O'Hana ressie, I really don't want to eat that late, but we loved it so much last year, we really want to eat there again. The Halloween nights don't help the cause as I think people like to eat in MK or right outside (Poly, GF and Contempory) before they go in to the MK. Chef Mickey is not available for dinner, so I am shelving that one since Samantha won't be with us (we did eat there with her 2 yrs agao). We are already doing Park Faire, I think we will match up to the stepmother and 2 step daughters just fine, the 3 of us against the 3 of them!!

Forgot to mention, I did book WCC for lunch one day - I know you didn't like it, but I hope to have better results. We are BBQ eaters, so I an anxious to see how it rates to my hubby's cooking

[Janet B]

[Minnie&Nana]

Good Morning, Saturday, Pickles!

Tracy!! Glad you arrived safe and sound...hope you had a good night's rest and will be ready to go this morning!

We are waiting on pins and needles to know which section you're in and how you like your room...and of course, later, your overall feeling of CSR. Enjoy the magic!

Kathy and Janet, those are great ADR's - it's not easy with free dining and, Janet, you have the addition of Food and Wine.

Janet, know you will not read this until tomorrow, but no doubt you had a great weekend at the Shore!

Weather was not so bad after all yesterday, but they kept me on pins and needles all day - finally around 8 the severe storm warning downgraded to a watch and was then canceled..today was supposed to be bad as well, but seems that storm has gone elsewhere for the most part. Yeah!

Have a great Saturday, my friends!

I am on my way out the door so this will be quick. I'm sorry guys, I know you want details details details, but uh, I've got a safari to hit! WEE HOO!!! We wanted to hit rope drop at AK this morning but we slept in. We were so darn tired that we forgot to set the alarm clock. Duh!! I'm so mad at myself! We finally got internet access, cost me 10 bux more than it should but I guess that's my fault. I'll write in detail about our day later, I PROMISE!!! Now for the most wanted details...

We are in Casitas, room 5412. Absolutey GORGEOUS and AMAZING water view. OMG, so romantic. So, I guess we got upgraded because I booked standard view? We LOVE CSR!!!!!!!! OMG...new fav resort!! Kathy, you can come down from the ceiling now. And we haven't even done the walk around. hehehe You will never guess what is outside my door... Pictures to come later...

OMG. WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!! BUT The jury is still out on the Pepper Market... The waitress tried to tell us we had to pay for our mugs. WHAT!?! It got figured out and I have muh Mickey mug, so I am happy. The food is good. I have a question. Where do we fill the mugs up? Can we self serve ourselves? I need muh cawfee!!!

Ok, I love youse. We really need to go get the bus now. Hubby has a date with Yeti.

I so wish ya'll were here. Thank you SO much for your help, prayers and sticking with me on this crazy pickle ride. You're the best and my heart is so much fuller since I've met you all. Thank you.

Oh my! I can finally breathe. I swear I didn't sleep at all last night worrying that you were not going to like CSR; I woke up with such a migraine that I could bearly see straight. And then I read this. I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU LOVE CSR!!!! And, in case you didn't notice my new "siggy", I'm going "home"--CSR here I come. It's only for three nights...but it is three nights that I wouldn't have had without the special $96 a night rate and using our deposit from our cancelled trip.

I am so happy that you love Casitas 5--you got a great room. And I know EXACTLY what is outside of that room...WARM HER UP FOR ME BABY!!!

Told you--Pepper Market is a hate it/love it type place. You can refill your coffee by yourself at Cafe Rix--the Grab and Go restaurant next to the gift shop. You can also get it refilled at Siesta's by the main pool.

Post when you can but, most important, have a wonderfully magical anniversary celebration!

We love you too, President Pickle!!!

OMG I started crying when I read this. I'm so glad that you have a perfect view and that you love CSR. Post when you get a chance!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Ya know - I just love youse guys and so grateful we happened to respond to a little post saying "I'm in a pickle" (or something like that ).

The most delightful Dis'ers began trying to help....the nuttiest stayed around for the long haul....which brought us to this wonderful time when we get to share Tracy's funfilled, and very happy romantic getaway!

I know we will be here for one another for trips in the next weeks, months or years. I absolutely hope and pray a "Girls Trip" truly happens one day in the not too far distant future. I bet we could all manage a long weekend, sharing rooms and doing mostly CS. What fun we'll have!

 

[KatMark]

And while Tracy is there celebrating her 10th anniversary with Mark, it is also the CSR's 12th Birthday today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CSR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
