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

[shebaxric]

I'm here and reading, and reading, and reading!! You've got so much planned, probably more that I do!! You seem to be very organized, which is never a bad thing when going to WDW!

As for restaurants, we've been to a few that you are suggesting. Le Cellier is fantastic, that's a must. I'd definitely try to get that reservation first, and then work your schedule around it. Tusker House is good, but I really liked Crystal Palace at MK better. The food is good at both places, but I just like walking into MK first thing in the morning with hardly anyone else there. . . it's just too cool! I'm glad to hear that you got a ressie for Boardwalk Villas, and can I say, I'm a bit jealous?? That was my first choice when renting DVC points, but unfortunately, we couldn't book there with our renter because their home is SSR and we would've had to wait. Well, I didn't want to wait, so we chose SSR. I hope you enjoy BWV, it seems to me that it's a perfect location, so close to Epcot and HS.

Keep writing, I'll keep reading!

Thanks for reading!!! We chose Chef Mickey's over Crystal Palace because I would rather see Mickey and the gang than Winnie the Pooh. I never really got in to Winnie the Pooh (although I sang the Winnie the Pooh song in an elementary school talent show-yellow sweatpants, red sweatshirt and all). Also it was just released that Crystal Palace is closed for refurb when we go...so hopefully I'll be able to get a ressie at Chef Mickey's. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Sorry for the multiple pointless posts. I love to blog (although from my writings here you'd never know I was some what good at it-at least that's what my friends tell me)

I am very lucky to be staying at the boardwalk. It's such a beautiful place and not so over done. I don't know what will happen when we have to go paying all on our own. I'm not sure I can bring myself to stay at and All Stars. That makes me a hotel snob doesn't it??? Not that there is anything wrong with them but I've never stayed in anything other than a deluxe or a Villa. I guess I'll have to suck it up when my times.... if my time comes we may not even be back for a REALLY long time. The next trip we want to go on is London/Amsterdam. So we'll see.

Well I didn't sleep last night so I'm off to bed at 8:30 on a Saturday, gosh I'm such a hellraiser. Although it has been POURING ALL DAY LONG here so the comfort of my bed is looking more inviting than ever.

Cheers!

I'm here and all caught up with reading.

Our family LOVES Le Cellier! We go every visit! My DP is a bit freaked out by charactors in costumes and puts them right there in the same category as ice cream men & clowns. So needless to say we do very few charactor meals as I have to promise her that I won't let them come up behind her. Besides, our boys are getting a bit old now and don't enjoy it as much.

We have tried tons of places but Le Cellier has never been anything but perfect for us. We also tend to hit Boma every visit but we normally stay at AKV as that is our home resort. I will be glad to hear about the BWV as we are staying there on our Feb visit with friends.

Keep writing and PM me with your blog if you don't mind.

I'm so glad you're reading. I'm finally not talking to myself.
My DP has never done a a character meal. We were supposed to do Chef Mickey's in 2007 but I canceled cause I thought it would freak her out. It probably still will, but I don't care she's going anyway. I usually take all the pictures so this will give her the opportunity to take pictures of me. Seriously she's in almost every picture and I'm in like 3.
Le Cellier was all booked up last time so we are really looking forward to it. I really hope it comes through.

Who wants to see pics of our 2007 vacay??? Don't everyone bombard me now!

LOL We do! We Do! Is that enough of us? hahahaha

I normally take all the pics and avoid being in them because i don't love seeing the unskinny person that I am. But now that I am scrapbooking, I realized it looks like my kids don't have a "me" in their life so I get in them now.

Here a few pictures of our babies.

Minnie

and Jack

Sorry they are so BIG!

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Awww... I have a friend that has "weinie dogs" and they are adorable. They get so cold and are always curled up with a blanket somewhere. They wear little life vests and go into the river and swim and stuff too.

We have 2 dogs as well. Mine is a Pekinese named Sadie who is a complete Princess and knows it! My DP's dog is a schnauzer named Sully who is a little dumb. We have 2 birds as well. We say we are a 2 family... 2 moms, 2 boys, 2 dogs, 2 birds, 2 cars.

 

[coltink]

OMG my weiner dogs are total bed bugs/blanket bunnies. That's what they are doing right now. Although they will go NO WHERE NEAR water! Bath tub is no fun! Jack is a little dumb as well. He is afraid of his own shadow and barks at everything. Minnie on the other hand is a GENIUS! She can climb baby gates and will fake sick when she thinks we are leaving (so we'll say). God wise she can sit and lay down....but secretly she knows other stuff but refuses to show us because she doesn't want us to know she's that smart.

 

[MomsOf2boys]

You may not want her to know you are planning to leave them!!!! Do you kennel them or have a friend stay with them? That is my worse part about leaving... boarding the dogs.

Now it's only 102 days!! I love the milestones, don't you?? I'm doing the double digit dance with 53 days left!

Moms-We have a roommate who will be here and we'll have family and friends check in on them when he's at work. They are used to being baby gated in the kitchen everyday while we're at work. They'll have more company while we're away then when we're home.

sheba-Park hours are released tomorrow. I can't wait. When we went in 2007 everything was 180 days out. I have been going CRAZY. I'm an over planner so with the hours being released tomorrow I'll calm down a bit and really be able to start to cement our plans.

 

[MomsOf2boys]

I have not even begun to plan my January trip.

Not even going to think about my February one yet.

But my Thanksgiving one is planned out like a champ!!!

 

[coltink]

The hours were leaked today by a travel agent. So I've been tweaking my schedule for the past hour. Once I finalize I'll post. But we all know they will change again.... Once I get my ADR's I promise I won't change them again.

 

[coltink]

Doing the double digit dance!
99 days to go!

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Wohoooo!!! Let the countdown begin!

Wohoooo!!! Let the countdown begin!

Uh the countdown began a long time ago when I made the reservations.

Hurry up year!

I'll come on and post a pic or two when I am there just to keep you busy. Then you can tease me as you'll be there before I will in January.

Thanks for joining!
I try to stay off the disboards on Sundays to keep my sanity, make time go by a little faster, and to give me something to look forward to on Mondays. As soon as I catch up with everything I will head on over to your report!

I am so jealous of everyone going so soon. I really would have loved to go during the holidays but we just couldn't do it.
97 days to go!
