Recreating Memories- Surprise Mother & daughter trip

[princess&her4princes]

Hi Kristen! I think you made the right choice going with basic DDP. Deluxe just seems like an extreme amount of food. I feel like the basic is even a bit much sometimes! Glad to hear that you got the shins looked at, I hope the Dr.'s orders work for you!!

Thanks Lauren, I think so, too! I talked to Jodi and since she is driving, she'll stop and get some water, some breakfast foods and some snacks and drive up with them, it should work out well!! I hope, anyways!!

Joe and I have split some meals at sit down places, they have never said we couldn't. I know I've read that a LOT here on the DIS too. I don't think there is ever a split charge either, which is nice!

I hope all the icing/bandages work! I can just picture the wraps with shorts. But hey, if it works, it'll be worth lookin' silly for a bit! And at least you don't have to walk around in public like that ever!

We've never done morning EMH, but from what I have read, if you JUST do EMH and then leave when it starts to get busier/early afternoon-I think you will be fine. It does make the park busier, but it seems if you leave right before/after lunch, it's still good.

That's good to know, Brook, thanks! Worth trying splitting a meal and if they say no, we pay OOP. I think it will work out okay anyways....

My shins are doing okay...but I really can't exercise like I'd like too right now....it stinks!

I'm all about splitting CS meals. In Jan, we ate at Sunshine Seasons for dinner. My DH and I split the rotisserie chicken with 2 sides. It was the perfect amount of food for us, and very delicious!

Good tip, thanks Meghan! We plan on going to Sunshine Seasons one day, so that would work!!!!

I WAS doing a PTR, but I cancelled it because it felt like every time I made an update, something big happened or it changed! I've decided they're bad luck for me becuz the same sorta thing happened last year!

Okay....just thought I would join you if you had one going...oh no for bad luck!! Let's hope this one doesn't jinx me!! Last time I was alright though.....

Wonderful PTR! You have a beautiful family! I teared reading about how you surprised your mother. I'm a sucker for Mom & daughter stories. Can't wait to read more.

Hi! Thanks for reading along!!!! And for your very nice compliments!! It's going to a be a great trip with my Mom and sister...once in a lifetime!! I can't wait!

idk.. it just started hurting like behind my knee in the back of my leg.. whenever I bent down.. idk why it started hurting.. it slowly going away but still hurts a little.. its probably just stress from all the walking and stuff.. but what I don't get it I walk 4 1/2 miles a day.. its not like I went from doing nothing. who knows.

Hope you're feeling better!!!!

I hope you get better. your plans look so good so far. I am very excited your 90 day mark is coming up soon. Hope you get everything you want.

Thanks Lizet! So far so good. Counting down the days......

Hi Everyone!!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, nothing too new to write! I was really hoping that today the hours would be posted for September for ADR's but nothing yet......there were rumors. Oh well, there is always tomorrow......

But in the meantime, I'm counting down and want to start something fun to countdown with my Mom and Jodi. Any suggestions? I think I don't want to overwelm them but since we're all in seperate places, I'm thinking of sending them something once a week to keep them up to date via email. Any thoughts? ideas?


And to just keep you up to date on things.....

Here we are as of today....
105 days
9,072,000 seconds
151,200 minutes
2520 hours
15 weeks

until my trip!!!!!!

 

[julezdisney]

What do you mean by the hours posted for ADR's? I know that ADRs have changed from 6 months to 90 days, but is there something about hours I need to be aware of too?

Oh no, sorry! I just meant park hours weren't posted, I'm waiting to see what days have EMH so I can take advantage of those parks and since we don't have hoppers I want to stick to one park to eat in as well per day. Hope that makes better sense!!

I hope they release those hours soon! Disney has been so slow in doing all that lately it seems.

As far as something to send via email...maybe a countdown type of thing, like "45 days from today, we'll be...." or some Disney Trivia. Or maybe recalling an old Disney memory, with a pic would be even more fun!

Just some random thoughts...

It does seem like they've been slower at getting the hours up, which is not so good , but it also looks like they've been adding hours and shows as time goes on, so that's good!

princess&her4princes - A game to pass the time sounds fun! You'll have to share what you decide to do with us so we can play along.

Gotcha, we don't pay for hoppers either. Really no need. Planning ADRs is so fun.

They're up?!! Why are they wrong?!!! Going to check now....

 

[Gabrielsbigtrip]

They were up on this site not the Disney site. I thought WDW Info was pretty reliable....oh well.

I did read that maybe they would be up tomorrow

Hoping right along with you as I leave 9/4!!

 

[Gabrielsbigtrip]

They took them down. People were freaking out I guess.

I read one person changed her entire itinerary

Patiently waiting......still

 

[julezdisney]

What's ROBO?

Hmm... I'm glad I didn't see the hours before they were brought down! What a let-down!

 

[princess&her4princes]

I'm glad I didn't know either, have you called WDW just to see? I may give a ring...will let you know what I find out!! Here's hoping they are out soon!!!!

 

[Gabrielsbigtrip]

ROBO is a who I believe a Mod to the Disboard or just a really well informed peep.

Sorry, I got your hopes up

I just need need need the hours before Friday!

Hoping with you....12 more days and I have LOTS of prep to do!!!! But more days than you, so I won't complain (too much!! LOL!).....here's keeping our fingers crossed tomorrow is the day!!!

 

[princess&her4princes]

I got up and called Disney 1st thing this morning to find out park hours for my trip and they only have water park hours available. I asked the CM if she had any idea when they would post and of course, she had no idea. 11 more days and I have no schedule!!!!!!!!!!!! I really want to plan ADR's around EMH and need those hours.....starting to get a little anxious here......hope you guys understand!!!
