Princess Caitlin pre trip August '10 costarring dawnbu40

[dawnbu40]

Last day plans sound great

We've never done Story Time w/ Belle either , guess we will miss it . Can't wait to see the pictures of grown Caitlin watching it or maybe she will get picked to be part of the story !

Interested in seeing how your meal at Tony's is ? We ate there back in 08 I believe and did not enjoy the food at all !

Thanks

We actually ate at Tony's in Sept and March (our TR just isn't there yet ) and enjoyed it both times. The food and service were good on both occasions and I love the Lady and the Tramp touches

Sounds like it should be a nice last day. Never did get to see Storytime with Belle. I love Beauty and the Beast and it sounded cute, but I could never get myself excited about seeing it. I think it's moving to the Beast's Castle area once the new Fantasyland expansion opens, so I might have to give it a try then, if for nothing else but to be able to explore whatever else might be in the Castle.

We only saw it because we happened upon it last Sept. It was completely filled and had already began so we just snuck in the back and stood and watched. It is a cute little show but aimed at the youngest guests. All that said since Caitlin is such a huge B&B fan I'd like her to see it

I'm sure whatever they replace it with in the new Fantasyland will be far better!

It seems so wrong to be talking about your last day already, but it sounds like you have it planned very well. We liked Tony's for dinner, is lunch the same menu?

I know it made me sad thinking of the last day when we haven't even arrived yet

I think the menu is pretty much the same at lunch and dinner. I try and book a lot of our sitdowns at lunch since it tends to be nearly the same menu only cheaper

I can't wait to hear all about Kona's breakfast....we're booked to go too!!! I love the pressed pot of coffee, we've only ever had it at Boma, but boy was it yummy

 

[yinyanggirls]

Oh Caitlin has to get picked for BandB storytime! She would be so cute! I wanted to see it (for the girls, I swear!) but there was just not enough time. I took pics of the little theatre area just because it was so pretty. I can't wait to see your pics and hear the story!

I'm surprised Caitlin has never seen Storytime with Belle.
It's a very cute show.
The better the audience participation, the better the show.

However, I am excited to see the replacement.
Belle already has the Beauty & the Beast show in DHS and something very similar to that show will be in the Fantasyland Forest.
So, I can't wait to see the new "Tangled Play and Greet" experience!

I hope Kona lives up to it's reputation! I am not a coffee drinker but I know Caitlin and Dale will enjoy it

They usually pick little girls for the show but maybe we could offer Belle a bribe We will have tons of pics of everything! Dale and I both love taking pictures!

Storytime with Belle was just one of those things we never happened upon at the right time. Since it's really for little ones it was never something we sought out.

I would like to see a new show at DHS myself. B&B has been there forever and something fresh would be nice IMO
The Tangled meet and greet should be fun. That prince looks to be very charming and fun!

Well our countdown is now at 23 days and the planning continues!

I checked the UG the other day and our MK day was at a crowd level of 6 while all the rest of our days are 1-3 levels. So I switched our MK day with our pool/waterpark day which had a prediction of 2. It just made sense to skip the 6, didn't it?

In other news, we've been so glad to hear all the positive reviews of ViaNapoli! It looks great in the pictures and all the reviews are very complimentary We're crossing our fingers for that walk in!

Of course no planning is complete without some shopping for new things, right? We ran into a great sale at Kohl's today and had a coupon for an additional 15% off Caitlin found a pair of the Skechers version of FitFlops for 60% off and I got a pair of faux Birkenstocks 70% off I found myself a tee I liked and then happened upon a shirt for Dale,70% off, in the same color. (he'll look awesome in fuschia ..... no, jk it's a rust-ish color) I like the family to dress in coordinating colors so it looks nice in our pics. Yes, I'm one of those people

That's all the news from here....hope everybody has a wonderful weekend!

Good job switching days! I wonder why it's so high that one day?

Ya gotta love shopping before a tripit's even better when you get such great deals.

I'm one of "those" people too, but Jasmine isn't, so there are days I just torment her

I have no idea why a Thursday was so high compared to the other days but I didn't want to take any chances.

Isn't it a great feeling to find a good bargain?!

Caitlin is at least willing to humor me But when I bought the shirts today she said "I don't have anything that color" so I told her we'd wear them when she goes solo to the waterpark so we don't clash

I despised matching when I was the Matchee. Now I enjoy it. I dress the girls alike all the time, and often coordinate or match myself without realizing it.
Added bonus - if you lose someone in your party you can easily show someone what they are wearing.

I'll keep that tip in mind if Dale has one too many Grey Goose slushies and wanders off

YaY! for having only 23 days left !!

That is weird that just one of the days on your trip has a 6 for crowds & so low on the others I don't blame you for switching days , keeping my fingers crossed that it pays off for u all !

Sending your way for that walk in at Via Napoli ! I called yesterday around 10:00 a.m. and was able to book us a 4:30 dinning ressie there on the 17th. I'm hoping the food lives up to the reviews & pictures I've seen !

Kohl's sale sounds great , I only wish we had a Kohl's here ! My DGrandma sent the kids some clothes yesterday from there though that she got at 70% off and there great !

I like the matching idea , may use that for us this trip .

Congrats on getting ViaNapoli! I hope you enjoy it!

We have several Kohls in our area and might have to check out the deals at the 2nd closest one today How nice of your grandma to send the kids some new things! The bargains there are hard to pass up!

We don't get our picture taken as a family too often so our vacation pics become the "family pics". Everyone coordinating makes the pic look a little nicer. Also since there are only 3 of us it's not too hard to manage.

I commented earlier today on your TR, and now I'm here! Your plans are looking great - and in typical DIS fashion, have changed more than a dozen times. BW and BC sounds LOVELY!!!! You will love both I'm sure! I posted on your TR that we would be at the BW the same time, but it looks like you guys will be moved over to the BC by then. We check in September 2! We'll be heading over to the BC a couple times though, so maybe we'll see ya!

Congratulations to Caitlin on all the movie work!!!! I hope it continues and helps her get her big break!

Thanks for coming over!

Yes our plans have changed time and time again! But it's not my fault, it's Disney's! They offered us better and better deals so who I am to turn them down

We will be across the water from you the 2nd-5th. Hopefully we'll run into you! Caitlin says you have the cutest little boy

Caitlin says "thank you". She has had a great summer working on the 2 movies and hopes it keeps up for the next few weeks
