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

[2xcited2sleep]

I have completely changed our ADRs from my post yesterday to today. Hehehe, I'm sure you are not surprised.

Surprised? No. But anxious to hear about the changes, YES!!!

Please tell me you have a Y&Y adr for October, you must try that Kobe burger. It is seriously the best burger I have ever had!

I don't currently but I may have to go online right now and see if I can remedy that.

What did you order!?!

I got the same mickey t-shirt you did. Copy cat. And then I got a Grumpy t-shirt I ordered a few sizes too big that I plan to use as a nightshirt. I am definitely grumpy but no need to advertise it to strangers on the street. Much better to just warn people I'm "sleeping with."

KIDDING!

So when are we going to hear about these ADR changes? Hope you are staying cool in this heat!!

Great t-shirts! Why don't we have a Walmart selling them here in Germany as well???

During my last trip I realized that I rather would have less ADRs during my time at WDW and have some days with just CS. Especially Epcot has lots of varieties. On Tutto: I always thought that it was extremely expensive to eat there if you aren't on the DDP. Have you checked the menu? And I love the idea of dinner at Narcoossee's or Flying Fish one evening. FF is my absolute favourite restaurant!

That's a bummer that you don't have Walmart, I'd be lost without it.

Tutto is very expensive. I do like the idea of Flying Fish too. I just don't know, I'm so torn on what to do!!

I love your t-shirts!! Especially the red Mickey one!! SO CUTE!!

LOL...I did take quite a few tricky ones..you can always ask me and I will see if I can remember where they are LOL!!

Your days look great! Can't wait for your itineraries!

I'm going to have ask you on a few of them because I really have no idea.

How I missed this I'm not quite sure but ever since I started the darn job I"m not exactly on top of things.

for 60 days!

Now off to catch up

I've been meaning to get caught back up on your PTR, at this point I might just joing the TR when it's time since your trip is so close!

OMGoodness! I love those tees!!!! Soooo cute!!!! You're going look so fabulous on your trip!

Your new itinerary looks great! I say keep the ADR's and if you want to cancel something along the way you can and you'll make some people looking for a last minute sit down meal really happy!

I have absolutely no idea where that picture was taken you completely stumped me!


Yippeeee for 60 days!

Thank you, I really can't wait for all my Disney wear on the trip. I'm going to be very stylish!

The ADR line-up looks great. Boma is my favorite restaurant at WDW, so I hope you enjoy it. I haven't tried Tutto Italia or Crystal Palace so I'll be interested in hearing what you think about these two, especially since I've heard fairly mixed reviews for both in the past.

I've had both breakfast and dinner at Crystal Palace and I liked breakfast much better. Especially before park opening, it was still somewhat quiet and peaceful in there.

Your ADRs look great. Lots of good places! The new tees are adorable!

I was going to guess Innoventions, but now the Great Movie Ride is sounding like a good guess.

Great Movie Ride!! It does kinda look like Innovations, more so than Great Movie Ride.

Your shirts are really cute! I think having a free afternoon to explore World Showcase (on Wed) and eat around the world sounds great. Tutto Italia is really good. We enjoyed our meal there a lot. Your plan sounds great!

Thank you. I do like the option of eating some snack around WS, that is always fun!

Really cute T-shirts and really good picture Jen Jolt! I am going to have to guess GMR as well. Was that already nixxed? I didn't read the last page of posts. Stupid work computer.

Great, fun plans. Yeah to 60 days.

So I had to make a decision about when to arrive and I decided to go with Sept 12th because I discovered that my kids have their first soccer game Sept 11th!!!!! How can I miss that???? I was going to try to take soccer pics this year since our previous parent photographer's son graduated and is going to college.

So I guess my next question is what time do you leave on Sunday. My flight gets to MCO at 130pm. We will probably just miss each other in transit. Figures!

We haven't bought our return flight quite yet, but I'm thinking if I remember correctly the one I am looking to buy departs at 4:30....which means we'd be catching Magical Express about the time you land. BUMMER. I'll let you know if we are able to get a later flight.

I love your new tshirts. They have some of those here in my WalMart but I am going to keep looking. I really like the Chip and Dale one. Your trip is getting so close.

It is getting close. I'm really quite excited!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Surprised? No. But anxious to hear about the changes, YES!!!

Maybe tonight...I'm thinking about updating tonight.

I don't currently but I may have to go online right now and see if I can remedy that.

GO ONLINE NOW. Seriously. Best. Burger. EVAH. That's my Maine accent coming out. What is your take on mini burgers by the way? I'm currently in love with them.

:I got the same mickey t-shirt you did. Copy cat. And then I got a Grumpy t-shirt I ordered a few sizes too big that I plan to use as a nightshirt. I am definitely grumpy but no need to advertise it to strangers on the street. Much better to just warn people I'm "sleeping with."

KIDDING!

I almost got the Grumpy shirt. In fact, I still might. Marc would probably get a kick out of me wearing that.

:So when are we going to hear about these ADR changes? Hope you are staying cool in this heat!!

Barely. It's so warm at work today even in the AC. I think I might post an update tonight, but probably not until after 9PM.

 

[Flossbolna]

Tutto is very expensive. I do like the idea of Flying Fish too. I just don't know, I'm so torn on what to do!!

Perhaps I can tempt you with these pictures of light fixtures at Flying Fish?

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, I am sure you look adorable in your pregnancy glory.

You are a true friend, you know that?

 

[Lady Lallie]

Perhaps I can tempt you with these pictures of light fixtures at Flying Fish?

Oooh, those are pretty. You are a sneaky little devil!

You are a true friend, you know that?

I think even my boss looks cute pregnant and you know how I feel about that whole situation. So I'm sure that you are freaking adorable.

 

[Lady Lallie]

So I've changed my ADRs around again....I have serious commitment issues to Disney trips. I don't know what my problem is. Too much time to plan? Who knows.

A few ADRs were nixed because once I priced them out they were too expensive. $62 for 2 adults to eat at Boma?? No way. I know we aren't going to eat that much to begin with, I can't justify that. I also cut Tutto, it was just getting too expensive and I don't want to eat an heavy meal like that then get on a plane, no thank you. So after my cutting/slashing/adding this is what I have.

Friday - Kona Cafe for lunch. Magic Kingdom after. I am not giving up those delicious looking Tacos.

Saturday - No ADRs. We will still go to AK but after that who knows.

Sunday - The Plaza and then night EMH's at Magic Kingdom. I have to be honest that The Plaza could be up on the chopping block. It's going to be about $45 for us to eat here by my estimating and that seems like a lot. I could do with 1/2 a cream cheese pretzel for dinner and call it a day.

Monday - Rose & Crown Pub for dinner. Probably be at Epcot most of the day.

Tuesday - Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch. I switched my park days around a little bit. I want to try LTT really badly. It just keeps calling my name.

Wednesday - Yak & Yeti for lunch, night EMH's at Animal Kingdom.

Thursday - Hollywood Brown Derby, DHS at rope drop. I only have one full day at DHS right now. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Must think on it some more.

Friday - LE CELLIER! That's right, I was able to get a Le Cellier ADR yesterday. I called Disney and asked them to check our ENTIRE week for any meal time and they had ONE single ADR. I scoffed it right up and changed our days around a bit. Epcot will be busier this day since it's night EMH's but I'm kinda intrigued with experiencing them a bit.

Saturday - Crystal Palace for breakfast, then MK until afternoon.

Sunday - Departure Day, nothing. I like the idea of not being tied to a park. We could go to DHS or Epcot or MK. I won't lie, we won't be going to AK on our last day.

I also might change Y&Y back to our 1st AK day, that way if we don't feel like going to the AK EMH's on Wednesday we could go to DHS for another day. Hmmm..something to think on for sure.

So there you have it. I'm really going to try to not change them all again. Keyword: TRY.

59 days!!
21 more classes -- yahooo!!
8 more Mondays!!! -- this little fact thrills me to no end.

Oh and I bought another Disney tee at Walmart today.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I am not the least bit surprised that you changed your ADRs all around! I think they still look fabulous, and hurray for getting a Le Cellier ressie!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

8 more Mondays is a GREAT statistic!!

Super excited about Le Cellier It must have been fate!

I think your ADRs look fantastic. I think I am most looking forward to Brown Derby. Tried but true!

Tell me more about these Kona tacos...

 

[Mndisneygirl]

woohoo! Score on LeCellier! I like your revised plans - even though you're passing up two that I would keep!
I think having the DDP has made me a bit ignorant of the cost of the various restaurants. $62 for a meal for two is a lot of $$$!

I want more info on the Kona tacos too! I had lunch there last December and don't remember that on the menu!
I'm guessing a Kobe burger is on your list from Y&Y! You and Marc are going to share?

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Yay for Le Cellier! Persistence definitely pays off when it comes to ADR's!

I like your updated list! I agree, some restaurants seem like such a good idea to try and then you price them out and

 

[brookelizabeth]

Just yesterday I noticed the pretty little link for this in your siggy, so I'm 71 pages behind and late to the party, but I just caught up now!

I also got your PM, and yes! we should definitely meet up!! I haven't purchased TGM or the Unofficial Guide touring plans yet, so I don't know what days to plan - I usually go exactly by what they say so we can avoid crowds...so I can't give you my schedule yet....but I will as soon as I know!

Love that Wal*Mart red tee, very cute! And you gotta love that price!

 

[Happydog]

I do the whole Gasp and Sigh thing, too -- both in texts and in actual speaking.

Sorry LL, I have to crash this conversation (albeit two days late!)

I say SIGH and GASP too -- with "air quotes" Oh, and then sometimes I cite Much Ado About Nothing.... "Sigh no more fair ladies...." Which would be applicable here, too!

Oh, LL, I LOVE that "Pft!" SO makes me laugh when I see you write it. Like Jen's "Woot!" I love how it has become part of text-talk with CP and Chelsea.

 

[Happydog]

Okay I read your old ADRS (well your newer old ADRs) and your LATEST ADRs, and I LOVE the plan! I think you put some good choices together! I totally that new Mickey TEE! I purposely kept myself off of the Disney site with free shipping all weekend! I MUST not buy anything more from the Disney store!! I just got back!!! AND I can't wait to see your NEXT new Teeshirt.... YAY for LeCellier!!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Ooo I love the 8 more Mondays. That is an excellent way of looking at it! Boo-yah for Le Cellier!

I like your thought of bumping Yak & Yeti up to the Saturday to give you more flexibility with your second AK day, but didn't you want the AK at night?

 

[belle8306]

Yay for Le Cellier. We ate there for the first time on this trip. It was great! The pretzel bread was as good as everyone says it is. I think having your last day open is a great idea. I can't wait to see your new Disney shirt!

 

[All7OfUs]

Saturday - No ADRs. We will still go to AK but after that who knows.
I also might change Y&Y back to our 1st AK day, that way if we don't feel like going to the AK EMH's on Wednesday we could go to DHS for another day. Hmmm..something to think on for sure.


Oh and I bought another Disney tee at Walmart today.

I wondered about that. Now I see you've changed it. I know our meet is for 10:00, but now that you don't have that ressie, is the time still ok for you?? Just making sure!

I just found out that Flame Tree is closed so I made a Y&Y ressie today. The menu looks pretty good to me.

 

[eandesmom]

8 more mondays! I love that fact

Congrats on LeCellier! The ADR's look fabu.

 

[Flossbolna]

Congratulations on getting Le Cellier!

I think your ADRs look great - a good balance between lunches and dinners and days without ADRs.

Couldn't you just split a sandwich at the Plaza? Wouldn't that be enough food for the two of you?

 

[TarzansKat]

I think even my boss looks cute pregnant and you know how I feel about that whole situation. So I'm sure that you are freaking adorable.

Hey, I love the ADR changes. And congratulations on getting Le Cellier! That's awesome.
