Seeking Pixie Dust: Friday the 13th is my ADR call in day!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Of all the luck in the world, I would have Friday the 13th as my ADR call in day.

We arrive late on 12/10/08 and leave on 12/19/08. During our stay we will have the "holiday surcharge" kick in on the 14th, I think, so I have done my best to work around that.

My MIL will be with us. Pray for me. I want to do anything possible to make her visit a pleasant one. So, I am going to need to make special arrangements for her dining to work around her diabetes and super low sodium diet.

Below are the ADR's that I am planning to make tomorrow. I am super unsure what is going to be happening 6 months from now with her health, so we are making a couple of ADR's that we will most likely end up cancelling well before our actual stay. I will gladly post here what's going to be up for grabs, once I know that we won't need it. The things listed as (back up) are not necessarily going to be made, but I am keeping them as options.

12/11
Lunch at Rose & Crown at 1:00pm (back up)
Dinner at the Biergarten at 6:00pm

Dinner at the Plaza at 6:00pm (back up)

12/18

So, who else is with me tomorrow and in need of a little extra pixie dust?

 

[John's Mom]

I got all my ADR's today. Of course, I didn't have to make them. The IPO staff at the Poly took care of that for me.

Here's some extra . Good luck!

Good luck to you too! I am heading to bed now. 6:00am is about an hour and a half earlier than my usual wake up time. I have to shower and dress for work, walk the dogs, scoop the litter box and feed the cats. Then of course pray like crazy that my cell battery doesn't die before someone answers my call and sets up my ADRs!

Then, I have to go to work! lol I just know that we are going to be short staffed tomorrow. There is a lot of office bickering and passive agressive backstabbing going on right now. I almost wish it was winter time, then the wenches would be to busy to bicker. lol

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Dialing now....still not yet open.

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I'm on hold! Let the games begin.

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

I'm in and my CM has technical problems.

How great is that

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

How great is that

Pretty darn nifty! This trip is all about making my MIL and my partner happy. They really don't get to spend much time together and my MIL's time on Earth is growing more limited all of the time. I just want to help them make some great memories while they still can.

Oh, please don't cry! There are other magical princess experiences and meals. I am sure your trip will be extra magical with your little ones and your big guy too.

So, how did you make out?

 

[2BusyPlanning]

Very cool, congrats! I am so happy for you! Sunday is my day, wish me luck as well!!!

 

[Hyonlyf]

I got them all except Tusker House lunch.

It was weird, she told me Tusker House was only open for breakfast. I told her I was just there in February and ate lunch, she said that her screen showed they were only open until 10:30. Hmm. I may call back and see if I get a different CM with a different answer. My CM was super sweet though

Congrats to you for getting your ADRs!! I am so looking forward to some cooler temps, it is already so darn hot here.

Congrats on getting what you were able to grab. I thought Tusker House did lunch too, but I haven't tried to book it, so I am not 100% certain on that.

It was up to 90 here again today. I too am looking forward to some cooler weather, the worst part is of course that this is still just the beginning of "sweat season".

I just realized today that I was within my 180 days. I could have called about a week ago, but I lost track of time. I only need one ADR, for 'Ohana, but they only had 9:30 PM available for my entire 9 days, except 8:20 on one day. That is still too late for us to eat, especially such a large meal. I will just have to keep checking back for cancellations.
