Good news! Le Cellier's availability has opened up a bit and I was able to get a lunch reservation there for 2:05 on 9/23! I would have preferred dinner but I'll take what I can get. I was thinking I wasn't going to be able to go there at all. I've been dying to try it. Thanks to Karen (karentan) for the heads up! Cheddar cheese soup (in 90 degree weather!) here I come!

Jenny, I am a major Vera Bradley addict!! You will see lots of Vera from me when we are on the cruise!! I have the weekender bag, which i'll use for my carryon, in bali gold. I also have the laptop bag and a large cosmetics bag in the same color. I have three purses (1 betsey, 1 little betsey, and one hipster) in different colors, and wallets to match!! Oh, and I got a towel for my birthday in pink cupcake. My stepmom got me hooked on the stuff, LOL!!

Wow! You need to go to VB Anonymous or something lol. A lot of it is really cute. So far I have the little mini-zip wallet and my mini-hipster is on the way. I think I'll get a new bag for every vacation.

[Rora]

I've heard all great things about it. They are going to have it at the F&WF cart too!

 

[princess_momma]

yes. but clowns are supposed to entertain people right? and you do a good job of that!

I could've gotten a ressie at Le Cellier...but my mom choose Rose and Crown over it. Clearly she is NOT a Diser!! (I think its because she plans on getting steak at like over half the places we go and wanted fish and chips instead of another steakhouse.)

I really wanted to try the cheddar cheese soup and now I'm all sorts of disappointed beacuse I'm going before the F&WF so I can't even get it at the cart. Some clown you are!! Getting me all down like that!!


haha jk! I love your TR...its so fun!

 

[Lynn5700]

Jenny that's awesome!! Have you ever benn to Le Cellier? They have the best mashed potoatoes!!!

I love the VB bag! Love that pattern!

Aw, sorry! I'll pack some soup up and send it your way. I don't know how good it will be once you get it but it's the thought that counts right? My family wants me to box up the pierogies from the Poland station! We'll see about that one!

No, I've never been to Le Cellier. I'm so excited because I've heard GREAT things about it from all over the DIS.

It matches most of my outfits!

Subbing!! I am so excited to find your TR! We want to stay at the WL, go to Le'Cellier, and go on a cruise during one of our next visits! I can not wait to see how you like them all!!

 

[BippityBoo]

One more thing How did you get the upgrade to the WL? Did you have to pay for it, or is there a trick I dont know about I am sure it is in your TR, but I can not find it!!! Thanks!!!

I can't wait to tell you all about it!

I work in a travel agency and got a TA discount for WL. It basically slashed the price of the ticket and the room rate in half. I happened to see it on Disney's TA website and jumped on it. I just had to pay the difference of the package I orginally had (staying at POR) and the new package. It wasn't much! I wish it were something for the general public but unfortunately, it's not.

What a lovely idea!! I would love to get some soup in the mail!! I wonder why there aren't TONS of mail order soup companies?! I'm sure they'd make TONS of money!!

We are at the 52 day mark! I figured I'll start posting my daily plans since August is right around the corner! Tomorrow I can say 'I'm going to Disney next month!'

We'll be driving into Florida from NJ scared1. No big deal, we've done the drive before. We're going to be starting out on Sept 19th in the morning, I'm thinking around 8 or 9. We'll be driving down to the outskirts of Savannah, GA which is about a 11-12 hour ride. We have a reservation at a Fairfield Inn near the Savannah Airport. I'm hoping to get there by 10pm, 11 the absolute latest. We'll get some much needed zzzzzz's and then....OFF TO DISNEY!

DISNEY DAY 1

Savannah is about a 3 1/2 to 4 hour drive from Disney. I'm hoping to leave the hotel in the 8 am - 9 am range and make it to Disney World by 1.

We'll check into the Wilderness Lodge and if the room is ready, go and check it out, maybe do a little unpacking. I want to walk around the hotel a bit, find Humphrey and rub his nose for pixie dust, maybe grab a quick lunch and take pictures. Then it will be off to...

DHS!

I'm hoping to get there by 3 so we can catch the Pixar parade but we have two days planned here so if we miss it that day, we'll see it the other. We have dinner reservations at Sci-Fi at 5:40 and later we'll be going to see Fantasmic. I haven't seen it in a couple years so I'm looking forward to it!

If we're not too exhausted, MK has EMH that night til midnight and we'll be swinging by there. If not, we're going to try to get back to WL to see the Water Pageant Parade. I've never seen it!

Then it's off to bed to rest up for the early wake up call the next morning! Stay tuned...​

Awesome, sounds like you're gonna have a fun and busy Day 1.

That's the way to do Disney!!

Exactly! You have to keep busy if you want to see (almost) everything!

 

[Rora]

Jenny, I am so excited about this trip (I feel like I'm going too! )!!!!

Your plan looks great but you're going to be pooped. Sleep in the car!

Wow, the trip is so soon--let me know if you still want to get together while you're in my home state!! I'll be about 1 1/2 hours away.
