Pop the champagne and the sherry, 'cause we're going back in January-Pretrip

[coltink]

Hey all! I've been trying to stay off the disboards just for a little bit for the following reasons:
1. Once I get on the disboards at work...there's no stopping me. If I get on in the morning my entire day will be spent on here.
2. For what ever reason it makes the time go by a little faster. Weird! I know!
3. I've been super busy with work and my part time job.

So anyway, enough excuses right?!
Monday we make our dining reservations. I am SUPER NERVOUS about it. 1 reason is because when we made the DVC reservation our first day wasn't available so we had a ressie at another resort. Then our first day came through at the Boardwalk. So some how we have 2 reservation numbers in the system even though our letter only gave us 1. So I am hoping that when I call in on Monday I am not going told that I can only do ressies for the 1st day and have to call back the next day for the rest. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

On with the show... Our ADR's (which have yet to be made so I can only hope right? I'm sure after I make them we'll want to eat somewhere else...happens every time!!!)

Sunday-early dinner at Ragland Road(planning to make it for 4. Is that considered lunch or dinner??? Because what I want is on the dinner menu but not on the lunch menu)
Monday - Chef Mickey's for Breakfast
O'hana for lunch
Tuesday - Le Cellier for an early dinner
Drinking around the world/Teliqua Bar
Wednesday - Boma for breakfast
Tusker house for lunch
Earl of Sandwich for dinner after Cirque du Soliel
Thursday - Mama Melrose for the F! dinner package
Friday - Port Orleans Food Court for breakfast-for bengiets
Counter Service for all other meals

Tuesday and Wednesday are interchangable in case Le Cellier isn't available.

Tell me what you think?

Wanna take bets on if I get them?

Wanna take bets if I change my mind between now and then?

Wanna take bets on whether my plans will stay the same??

You sound like me with the ADR's! Mine have changed 3 times already

The only thing I saw is that you have Ohana for lunch, but they do not do lunch. Just the breakfast and the dinner. And I believe for Raglan Road at 4pm IS dinner I have heard that Tusker house is better for breakfast and Boma is better for lunch/dinner, so you may want to switch those. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you get!

 

[coltink]

OOPS! My bad.... Ohana is dinner


In 2007 we did Boma for dinner and didn't care for it much. So we are going to do it for breakfast out of pocket and then Tusker for lunch.

So glad to hear Ragland road is doing dinner at 4. I loved their Pie in the Sky and want to get it again, and they don't serve it for lunch. We're meeting my brother and sister in law and possibly a friend for dinner there that night.


On a VERY off topic side note my parents are moving up in the world of technology. (Which seems rather odd because my dad was a technology teacher for a middle school-and they have like 5 networked computers at their house) They just got new cell phones. They are SOOOOO cute. My mom got a camera phone and my dad got a blackberry. It will probably take them the length of their contract to even figure out how to use it. I remember when my mom got her 1st phone (I was working for the phone company at the time) and it took her like 6 months to figure out the voicemail. I'm still not even sure she knows how to work it. She'll call randomly call me and ask if I called her cell phone because it says 1 missed call and she doesn't know who it is.

Boma does not do lunch. Both Breakfast and Dinner are fabulous there.

3 more sleeps until I make my ressies.

Has any one experienced the online ADR system? Rumor is that the online system opens up at like 3 am. Also do you need to log in to do it?



and an off topic question: I noticed over in the wedding boards some people are writing TR's and PJ's. Now I got that TR stands for trip report but what the heck is a PJ?

PS: Don't ask me why I was on the wedding boards because I don't have a good answer for that. Maybe wishfull thinking ...

 

[coltink]

Bought my Halloween Costume today.

I'm going to be Alice from alice in Wonderland. YAY!!!

It's supposed to be here by Friday. I can't wait!

2 more sleeps till ressies! Has any one done their ressies online??

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Woohoo! I love Alice in Wonderland!

 

[coltink]

Well my nervousness was confirmed. Because we had 2 reservation numbers to begin with I was only able to make ressies for the 1st 2 days. UGH! So I have to get up early again tomorrow.

Here's what I have so far
Sunday - Ragland Road at 4
Monday - Chef Mickey's at 9am and Ohana at 8:50 pm

I ended up getting everything I wanted at the exact time I wanted except for Ohana 50 minutes later. I'm sure this is because Wishes is at 8. So I think what we'll do is watch Spectro Magic and then hop the monorail and watch wishes from the Poly beach. YAY! Hopefully it won't be too cold!

WTG on the ressies What else are you trying to get?

 

[coltink]

Tomorrow I'll be asking for
Le cellier for an early dinner so we can come back to the room relax change clothes and then head back to drink around the world and hit up the Tequilla Bar before illuminations. This one will be the first I ask for in case I have to rearrage my days.
Mama Melrose for an F! package
Boma breakfast
Tusker House lunch

So really I don't have that many left and should be fairly easy to get except maybe Le Cellier and Mama Melrose.

Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!!!

It's 3:37 AM and my reservations are done! YES! I said 3:47 AM!!! I tried to pull up my ressie online before 3 and it wouldn't accept it. So I tried 1 minute after 3 and it took it. I got everything I wanted. Not the exact times I wanted but close enough. I'll post more details later.

Congratulations on getting your ressies!!

Also, I noticed what you are going to be for Halloween, she's one of my favorites! Perhaps you'll post a pic??

 

[coltink]

Ok so here goes...

Sunday - early dinner at Ragland Road
Monday - Breakfast @ Chef Mickey's, Dinner @ Ohana
Tuesday - early Dinner at Le Cellier
Wednesday - Breakfast at Boma, late Lunch @ Tusker House
Thursday - F! Dinner package @ Hollywood & Vine (which we may cancel-Mama Melrose is where we wanted to go)
Friday-Counter services/walk up ADR if we cancel any of the above

We pretty much got everything we wanted within 30 minutes of everything we wanted EXCEPT F! Dinner Package at Hollywood & Vine. I'm very disappointed. But what can you do? Except obsesse over it and call back every single day so that even the operators know you by name, until I get it. So eat that F! people! (Where's the tag fairy?) I will get my reservation! Who knows what measures I will be forced to take! They really need to have an evil laughing smiley!


Why does typing F! feel so wrong??? (Really, where's the tag fairy??)

My Costume should arrive on Friday. Once it does and I get my tights I will definately take a picture for you guys! Did I tell you had hard it is for me to find tights around this town?!?!? I went to 3 places and nada. My mom called yesterday from the Walmart in her neck of the woods saying she had found tights and wanted to know if I wanted her to buy them. YES PLEASE! Weird though. My mother hasn't bought me undergarments in 15 years! So weird!

 

[shebaxric]

It doesn't seem too wrong that your mom is buying tights, are they really considered an undergarment?

 

[coltink]

Hi All!
I've been off the boards for a few days but I am back. Just trying to make the time go by faster.
Not sure what's going on with everyone's Mickeypath countdown tickers. I even went to try to set a new 1 up and it's doing the same thing. Is it just me or are you guys seeing it too???

I went to howmanydays and it's saying 83 days to go. How can I make the time go faster?!?!?

My halloween costume came. It is sooooo cute. A bit wrinkly but cute! Better than I had expected. So I am going to try to get the wrinkles out this week in the dryer. If I can't get them out I may have to break out the iron. If I can find it. I can't remember the last time I even ironed anything. Like 8 years maybe... I don't even own an ironing board any more.

My mom is coming over on Friday for a Doctors appointment so we are going to do lunch and she be bringing my tights. So once I get those I'll be sure to take some pictures!

I hope everyone is doing well. It has turned cold here and the heat in my office is on the fritz. So I am just trying to stay warm.

I guess next I'll start laying out my daily plans.

 

[shebaxric]

You are correct about Mickeypath, I took mine down because it told me it was invalid. I went to their site and they are having some technical difficulties. . . I will check out the Enchanted Ticker you've got!

about the ironing board, I don't own one, either!! I have two irons, but no ironing board. Good luck with getting out your wrinkles!

I really don't know how to pass the time until our trip. We've got 34 more days until then, and I swear it's going to be forever until then!!!

I have to admit that I one time even ironed clothes on my body in high school. And yes I did burn myself. Lesson learned and I never did it again. Wel maybe I did but just on a lower setting.

Hang th outfit on a hanger in the bathroom and turn the shower on hot and close the door! The steam will take care of all those wrinkles for you
