Relaxation, Disney Style, PTR. ~*TRIP REPORT HAS STARTED! 9/18 Pg. 155*~

Crossing my fingers that your room request is honored. When we stayed there, ours was not. :sad2:

Fulton's is a great store! They had a lot of cool kitchen stuff when we were there.
 
90 days! Woo Hoo!!! :woohoo: You're going to have such a great time. Fingers crossed on your mansion request. What are your thoughts on online check-in? Do you think it makes any difference in terms of honoring room requests?

I heartily recommend La Cava del tequila and the crab tostadas. YUM-O! On the other side of the "World" don't forget the slushies are another nice way to cool down... :rolleyes1
 
We stayed at Parterre Place and walked to the main building bus stop every time. It's a pretty nice walk, not too long. All I requested was the mansions.
Try not to stress about the perfect trip. It will be perfect because you and Marc get to go together and do what you want! That's really all you need.
 
I would really remember that the two resorts don't share MK buses, especially at night entertainment!
Very true. I'm not going to worry anymore. :rotfl2:

I'm going to really really hope that it is. I do NOT want to be in Alligator Bayou. I think I'll cry if they try to put me there. In a dignified way of course. :rotfl2:

Do you have any pictures of La Cava? Crab tostadas sound so yummy! Do they have a menu online anywhere??

I'm not going to do online check-in. I want to be able to pout in person if they try to put me in Alligator Bayou. :lmao:

You are totally right, it will be a great trip no matter what happens! The walk from Parterre doesn't seem too far. Do you have any pictures of your stay there??
 

Great updates, hon! I'll try to comment in more detail later, but my DS is have a mini meltdown right now. :lmao:

For the most recent picture, I think you're in the Little Mermaid Show at DHS. Just a guess, though.
 
I don't have time to go back and look it up and link, but if you go to the restaurant reviews boards, and look up Oy Bolshoi's last TR, you can find some GREAT reviews by her on "The Ditch"- the affectionate nickname given to La Cava by those on the Review's Board.

BTW, the reason they call it "The Ditch"... once you fall in, it's pretty hard to climb back out. LOL!
 
I hope you get your requested room location!
A pina colava by the pool sounds like the perfect way to spend a hot afternoon.

La Cava sounds fantastic. I wish I could try a drink there, but have no tolerance for tequila and fear I may end up passed out on a bench :rotfl:
 
Your list makes me miss POR! I agree they have a great gift shop. I didn't know they had a pin board though!
 
Thank you! I don't think I've heard of Reef flip flops before...??

Hey LL! Catching up, as usual...

Congratulations on your latest test score!

I like your new plans. If you are comfortable missing the two days, than I would go for it! :goodvibes: All your plans sound great to me. It reads as if you are truly creating the best park plan/trip plan for you and Mark!

Great skirt! The shirt you made is super cute. I have seen those on Etsy. I have to say, after reading a tutorial on how to make appliques, it does seem a bit less intimidating. I think if I just do it, it will go better than I am anticipating. :scratchin:

:confused3 I am considering doing pin trading with my DD on our trip. Not sure yet...something I am still mulling over.

I hope Disney honors your room cost! The only thing I would keep in mind is POR gets picked up AFTER POFQ (but reversed when going back to the resort). So if you are planning an early morning, I would definitely try to be at bus stop one. We stayed at POFQ and never had issues but I know it got much more crowded as we picked up at POR. That was my experience five years ago though I have read some grumbling of others to the same effect. Perhaps the bus system is much different from what it was?
 
Hurray for 90 days!!!

I am going to guess Voyage of the Little Mermaid!

Night swims are the best! :lovestruc

All this talk of pin trading makes me think I need to wander over to ebay! :rolleyes1
 
I probably do have some pictures. I will check.
Woo Hoo! I'd love to see them if you wouldn't mind sharing them.

Great updates, hon! I'll try to comment in more detail later, but my DS is have a mini meltdown right now. :lmao:

Uh oh, mini meltdowns are not good.

You are correct!! :thumbsup2

I have never ever tried tequila, it scares me. :laughing:

They do, it's in the back of the store near the men's clothes.

Those reef flip flops look so comfortable!

I used a tutorial from Etsy and it was super easy. I have a couple of other ideas roaming around in my brain.

I really enjoy pin trading. I'm not one to always strike up conversation so if I spot a pin I want it forces me too. Though it sometimes does make me feel slightly stalkerish as I am always checking out the CM's lanyards. :rotfl2:

I will for sure go to the first bus stop on those early park mornings. :thumbsup2

You are correct, it is from Voyage of the Little Mermaid. I really can't wait to see that show again. I just love it.
 
WOOT for 90 days :cool1: Sounds like a great day you have planned!!!!

Having stayed in Magnolia Terrace recently, I can tell you its not a long walk at all to the main pool or main building, it wouldn't be a close of a walk to the 1st bus stop but its still pretty close. However having walked all over the Mansion areas I know they are all beautiful and would love to stay at each one at some point!
 
I guessed the image right??? Is it silly that I'm really proud of myself right now? :banana::banana::banana:

Leslie, you're so funny! Don't feel bad, I think we all obsess about room location (just a little.) ;)

I will share that we stayed at POFQ twice and several mornings felt sorry for the folks at that last POR stop... Although, on the other hand, there were times when leaving the theme parks at the end of the night that they sent separate buses for POR and POFQ, so it wasn't too bad.

Sometimes its just a roll of the dice.

I will be completely happy in any of the 4 Mansion buildings. My fingers are crossed that they honor my request.

I think the whole bus situation will turn out fine. I'm prepared for long waits and bus sharing with POFQ. Im' sure what I imagine will be worse than what we encounter. :rotfl:
 
Beautiful pictures of POR. I agree with you that the mansion section is so much prettier than then the other section. I stayed in Oak Manor and it was lovely. I love that quiet pool. The walk to bus station 4 was easy and I don't recall it being crowded. I really hope you get your mansion stay. Those pictures make me really long for that resort.

:cool1: to 90 days!!!!!!!:cool1:
 
I'm getting all caught up. It was a busy weekend and I have been away from the Dis for a few days.

:thumbsup2Great job on working out your travel plans! I know it can be frustrating dealing with school and Disney. Luckily, DS school has been very accomodating but I am sure that will change now that he is in testing grades.

:thumbsup2I like your shirt and I would definitely do one with the three Mickey heads. I am getting ready to attempt to do some Disney shirts for us this time. It looks pretty easy so we will see. I also like the skirt. It is cute. Isn't it fun to shop once you lose weight! Congrats to your hubby---over 100 pounds is awesome!

:sad2:Too bad about your experience at the gas station. I think that more people need compassion for others. It seems to be lacking more and more. It was bad enough what happened to you and then to have someone be a jerk about it. So glad you got the keys unlocked and were able to make it to your parents.

:surfweb:Looking forward to reading more of your plans.

Hey chiquita - have you booked your flights yet? Ours went DOWN today so I ended up with a $66 credit! You may want to take a looksie...

Lovin' all the updates, BTW. :thumbsup2
 
90 day picture...scene from Voyage of the Little Mermaid? taking a wild guess here, lol

Girl, it's absolutely fine to love to shop now. You deserve it! I personally love the skirt and the shirts that you're making. Totally cool to make the same word but with different fabric! Can't wait to see them, especially the ariel design!

I love looking at your resort pictures, Blake and I have been trying to visit a new one every trip, while you're cooler and have been staying at a new one every trip :rotfl:
