September 2011 Check-in... Dates and Ressies?

[Goofy4Pooh]

Congratulations on your first trip and VGC. Happy Anniversary! I know it is disappointing about POTC and BB but there is so much to do. Pirates is easily my favorite "family ride", so we share in your disappointment. Disneyland is magical and makes you feel like a kid again. The DCA events as well as WOC have not been added... my speculation is they are waiting to see how the if and when they will begin the Halloween version.

You are right. We are moving past the disappointment of POTC and BB (this will give us something special to look forward to for our next visit). Your post reminded me that DL will be decorated for Halloween. I love that here at WDW and from the pics I've seen they do it up even better at DL!!

Hi Goofy4Pooh and Dink37,

General consensus is Napa Rose if you like expensive gourmet, Steakhouse 55 if your a Meat and potatoes kind of people, Carnation Cafe Soup and Sandwiches or Cafe Orleans if you want similar food to Blue Bayou. Check out Allears.net for menus and general prices.

We are also going for our anniversary and are planning on celebrating at Carnation Cafe where the Baked potato soup is yummy.

Wine Country Tratoria or Ariel might also be options if you want to get preferred dining WOC standing spots.

DH and I are not really into the fancy, formal dining. It's not the expense, it's just not us. Already planning to try out Carnation Cafe and Cafe Orleans for lunch or dinner on another day and would like to try Wine Country Tatoria or Ariel but not the night we do WOC as DH is partially disabled and not able to stand for that amount of time so we will most likely be renting a wheelchair the night we see it. I think we have it narrowed down to Steakhouse 55 or Jazz Kitchen.

Thanks for all the helpful advice Kris

OH, I forgot about Jazz Kitchen, that is our other sit down meal for this trip. Lunch is definitely less expensive but they have some good dinner options. I hear you about the fancy dinners though because that is not us either. I prefer not to order food that I can not pronounce!

We are going to be at HOJO Sept 4-9, in the parks the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

 

[MrsAmyB]

We'll be there Sept 7-9 and staying at Ramada Maingate

 

[Sossy]

We'll be in the area Sept 23-30th at the Ramada Maingate. Finally got DH to check work schedules so we could make reservations. Halloweentime, DH first visit to a Disney park, time with my best friend from High school, and first real vacation since our honeymoon 2 years ago!


PS I have to tell someone. DH really doesn't like the idea of crowds but I want to see all the evening fireworks/shows so I am going to get fantasmic seating and surprise him when we get there!

to the boards. Sounds like a wonderful trip and a fabulous break from your absolutely hectic life with three one year olds.

Ooh ooh I wanna join! We're going to be in Anaheim 14, 15 & 16 September, staying at the Desert Inn & Suites. We'll be spending 15 & 16 at Disney so will catch the first day / night of Halloween.

We've done WDW many times before but this will be our first trip to DL and I'm sooo excited It's our first wedding anniversary on 20 September - a few days after we've left but still going to celebrate with some Disney magic whilst we're at the parks

 

[Jen&Trenton]

Hopefully will be adding dates. I know we will be in Southern California August 28th so we are pulling for dates in September. Cross our fingers it all works out. We purchased APs during our trip in July, so how could it not?!

WOO HOO!! Just booked our annual Disneyland/Southern California vacation. We will be there from 9/9/11-9/18/11 staying at the PPH. This will be our first on-site stay and we have been going annually for 12 years It is great they are offering the great rates right now for PPH, I really hope it is worth it. We usually stay on Harbor Blvd, but those rates aren't always wonderful. We were able to get 9 nights at PPH 3 adults 1 child 6 day park hopper passes, the free Character meals, and all of the VISA perks for $2270. I really thought that was a great deal!! Any of you veterans out there?? Does that sound like a great deal for the PPH? I have been enjoying reading all of the reviews and tricks of PPH and looking forward to experiencing it.

Minniegirl25 I think you got a totally awesome deal to stay onsite and with the bonuses they are offering it is totally worth every penny. I wish you a magical vacation!

Hi Judy -

I would be more than happy to post your dates, but I wanted to be sure you realized this is the September thread ... not the August thread.

to the boards. To see if anyone else is at the FFI you can check post 1 (your trip has been added) of the September thread and also check the October thread since your trip overlaps dates.

So, for those of us crazy enough to attempt Labor Day weekend, any tips on working around the Half Marathon?

Check out the runners thread. I believe the marathon and other races are held before park opening. Marathon Thread
