Scott & Biff return - A September pre tr

[magsnden]

hi scott! great that you got your ADRs and flight!

DH and i ate at san angel inn by ourselves in january. i really liked it. it's not your average taco place around here, it's authentic mexican. it's kinda hard to understand the menu, so we asked the waitress what was what, and what she liked and went with it. it was yummy!

btw, you can also get a MARGARITA too!! mmmmmmm... man do i love those things!

oh, and the theory about all the walking canceling out all the eating is DEFINITELY true!!

Hi,
Just read a pre tr which also a mini tr in it from last year. It was a good read and if you want to read along go to

Hi Scott. Thanks for plugging my PTR here! I am having fun trying to write a PTR so we will see how it goes. It is my first attempt here, so bear with me...

I am officially joining in for your PTR! I will try to keep up, but there are so many posts here that I always feel behind. I am jealous that you are doing the deluxe dining plan. It is just not economical for me since my 15 year old could still live on chicken nuggets and fries! He is one of those that loves the bland pizza at Pizzafari.

I would join you, but.......Onions....dairy...same difference to me....

eeww. please don't.

Yay! You have your airline tickets. I love Jetblue and the prices are usually reasonable. We're using American again in August (about $219 pp roundtrip).
Have you been to Garden Grill? We go every trip. I love it. San Angel Inn is beginning to make me a little nervous. I love Mexican food, but I'm afraid this one might not be so great. I have yet to read a stellar review. I do not want glorified Taco Bell. Can't wait to hear what you decide.
I would call about the room also. I would drive me crazy. Good luck with that! I hope you've just been upgraded to CL.

I have never flown them. hope I like. Ours are $169 pp rt.
Never been there.
I think I will keep SAI for now. this could change.
I am calling now.

Glad to hear you got all of the ADR's you wanted. I think you should try Garden Grill - we've eaten there the last few trips and really enjoyed it.
for booking the airfare also. Now you can focus on the planning!
I think you should call about your room too - would drive me nuts!

I think if I keep San Angel I will try to get GG in.
I am on the phone now.

Flights booked
ADR's made
I'm starting South Beach diet today. We could start a PTR weight loss support group

feels very real now.
we should start one.

Hurray on flights booked and ADRs made! Sounds like you are moving right along!
As far as San Angel -- I say, "go for it!" Worse case scenerio: you have so-so Mexican food for lunch in a stunning setting -- every time I walk into the Mexico pavillion, I always wish I had ADRs so I could sit beneath the volcano and watch the boats go by. JMO for what it's worth.

I fell like I am.
It does look pretty there.

Congrats on the plane tix, always make it seem real!
Also, any calories consumed or bought in WDW, do not count. Just sayin'

thanks.
I will say they did come off easily.

Isn't it nice to have plane tix ready to go? It always makes my trip feel 'real' when that credit card statement comes....
I hope you stay with San Angel. DH fell in love with that atmosphere and really wants us to try it. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.. and a review of the food as well.
But.. if you do switch to Garden Grill, I'd be happy to hear what you think of that, too... we've never eaten there, either!

it is.
that part is scary.
the atmosphere is really nice. we shall see where we end up.

Surprise surprise-guess I'm a little backward. We always buy our tix first, then book room, hoppers, ADRs.
If you guys do start a PT support group can I join? My trip to the gym today was not fun-especialy the scales part!

I like to make sure I can get everything at Disney before I commit to the plane.
of course you may.

your welcome. I enjoyed reading it and the pics.
thank you for joining in here.
deluxe is new to us so it should be interesting. I never would have done it with the kids.
yuck! the pizza there is bland.

Ok I called, it is listed as BCV Studio on so she said that it is fine. We just don't know why it says club level.

No worries.

 

[Disney Brat]

That is awsome that everything is all set for your trip!! I love it when everything is booked, just a great feeling!! I am glad that everything worked out smootly with the BVC Studio!!

Now you can sleep at night.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

So now we have a room,
dining,
adr's
tix
plane tix.

Now I have to decide if I will call and inquire about the room.

I think what you have there is called an official trip to WDW!!

 

[patti2533]

You both are going to love BCV! We stayed there in a studio for one night in January and we loved it. I would love to stay there for a whole vacation some time, but for now I will need to live through your TR and pictures after you return.

I do, I really do.

I hope so. I have swam there when DVC was allowed, according to something I read they don;t allow pool hopping anymore even if u r dvc. well I don't know if I will have pics next time. just not as many, it is a trip that is 3 days shorter.
Beach Club could still make an appearance in my tr that is ending this week.

DVC still allows pool-hopping, just not a a few specific resorts... BCV being one of them!

Just thought I'd fill ya in!

that is what I meant. BC is not included in the pool hopping. sorry thought I was clear.
I am reading about BC because that is where I will be and I read that. When I went in 2000 we were at OKW and went to BCV to swim.

I am still holding out for the Kingdom Tower. if they keep that name.

 

[Thumpersmom]

Cool that you got all your plans done for this trip!

It always seems to make the time go by faster if you have the next one planned and just have to tweak it a bit along the way with new ADR's or other stuff!

trust me things will be changing alot. I still need to decide about Universal. ADR's will be changing.
I am thinking about Cirque.
I have plenty of time.

179

Ok this might get annoying but I think everyone morning I will post how many days are left. Might make it go fast or slow. I don't know.

Wohoooo for the plane flights! $169 isnt bad at all. Specially now with all the gas prices going up. Good thinking on Biff's part to get them now.

Subbing. I didn't know you had this PTR going until I saw it on the main page and Buzz had replied. I had to see what he was up to. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was your PTR!

Have you started calling to make your dining reservations yet? If I remember correctly you said March 10? I love it when Buzz does that-makes it feel like the trip is starting to become a reality. You've got some great places to eat lined up!

Love the picture of Biff there on the first page-he looks pretty happy!

welcome. (Oops I forgot to do that for Buzz, sorry Buzz).
checking up on him.
I got them all. When u catch up you will see all the ones I got. I got the ones I wanted so I was happy.
Yes he was very anti-disney but after our July trip with his family he really liked it.
Glad your here.
