Dh don't want to do the desert party he figures it is September and it won't be that busy. He likes the idea of it but he don't really do desert often so if it was a meal he would be all for it. So right now the only thing extra we have planned is
Pirates League
Hairwraps at pop
T-rex with build a dino
Tusker House breakfest

Those 2 meals will give us 8 left over CS credits left over so I'm going to use those for breakfest for the girls. Our TH is more of a early lunch so they we at least need a muffin(snack Credit) that morining. So I'm done planning and now just need to sit it out and wait.

Sounds like a good plan

I am sooo excited!!! We paid off our trip today!! No more of having that lurking over our heads Now I just gotta save for my spending money or hit the lottery...whichever comes first

Yeah for that Robin. I kow I just started putting away money last week. I figure if we can save 1000.00 that should be more than enough. We do have lots of extras planed but I already have a bit of a stash.

Are you guys doing the MNSSHP? I'm still on the fence about this one.

We LOVE Tusker House, it's our one must do meal at WDW. I wasn't able to get a reservation this trip, at least not yet, I keep trying.

I love ohana's breakfest and really wanted one. But was unable to get one. We aren't doing the regular dining plan just QSDP. So I just made 2 adr's and then thought about cancling TH for ohana's but I'm not able to get it. No big deal.

Yeah for that. I cannot wait til mine hits the under 3 month mark. Later this week.

We are doing MNSSHP. We are doing it on the 27th. I did try to book PL, but they are sold out that day...ofcourse! That's ok though. I guess there is always next time.

TICKER CHECKING DAY

 

[MissLiz]

Wow! I can't believe they added Fantasmic so much! We were just watching it on the computer last night. I'm not sure if we'll try to fit it in or not, but it's nice to have more options.

I keep checking for ADRs for the 23rd and 24th just in case something opens up. We've got Crystal Palace for lunch on the 23rd and Rose and Crown for dinner on the 24th, but I'm not very excited about either of those.

I'm not exactly sure WHAT I'm looking for when I look, but I guess when I see it, I'll know.




Now comes the shopping portion of our planning. I've been putting it off, but it's getting to be that time. I saw some really cute flamingo dresses at Gymboree that are AK possibilites, but I can't decide.

DD9 needs to start thinking about what she wants to be for the Halloween party, dang it. She keeps putting it off because she can't make a decison. DD2 will be Belle...we just need to get shoes. I'd love to get gold glitter mary janes but I may end up making a pair of gold glitter canvas shoes instead.

 

[KELLY]

I need to check out the fantasmic thing. We are on the QSDP. But dh really wants to do fantasmic. We couldn't get it so dh just said to stick with what we have. Off to check it out. Thanks

I love how everyone has their own little ritual as you approach 100 days! We're doing a 3 month one ourselves. Gonna make a new revised list of what still needs to be done as we wait through the summer! I'm going to include working out on that list. Any advice on how to start getting up earlier in the morning to work out? If I really get my act together I will get a calendar made with days to cross off or a chain done. We'll see. My summer class has been more of a bootcamp than anything and the camp I work for just started...which means its the best time to promote it! BUSY BUSY BUSY! Just got the opportunity to do some beverage promotions on the side...couldn't turn it down, gigs pay $25 or $50 an hour for two or three hours of work! Most of it being on a Friday or Saturday. Gonna do my first one on Thursday. And whats nice is that they company will send dates and I can tell her if I can or can't do them. Thats going to be all Disney money! One more thing to add to the schedule though...should just make those days fly by!

I think I'm going to cancel our F! Pk to Mama Melrose. With F showing everyday, I don't think it's going to be necessary.

Instead of burning 1TS credit on F! Pk, we could try a new restaurant!

 

[peachydreamyxx]

Still am having no luck getting the new ADR's I would like. Trying to stay positive though! Tomorrow is our 100 day mark, finally here!!

DS is having a Cars themed birthday party. We've actually been watching Cars nonstop for the past two weeks now. His birthday is September 1st, so Ive started getting the party supplies together a little each week! Cant believe he is going to be 2 already Time is flying by!

I also ordered DS two new outfits for our trip and his autograph book! Disney marked down both outfits from 24.50 to 9.99 and 14.99 so I figured Id buy them now while they had his size. I also ordered him a 2011 shirt. Cant wait to start 'officially' packing! Marshalls also had a really nice 3 piece disney set, but its $250.. trying to convince DH its necessary

So glad to get a chance to check out the DISBoards - we've had a couple of family issues (DH grandmother passed and a week later my grandfather passed, plus backed our new van into my sister-in-law's van) in the last few weeks and feel like I have missed out on so much...

What's the latest scoop - noticed the change in hours for HS - super cool! Now I get to rejig our trip schedule... hee hee... we're almost to our 100 day mark (tomorrow) and kiddies still don't know - dh almost blew it the other night but covered up well...

September is so close it puts butterflies in your tummy... lol

I hear you about the birhtday party. My oldest will be turing 6 and wants a tangled party. She wants the mini tangled tower and the assecories to go with it. She has the big tower she got that for Christmas so I was surprised she wants the mini one. She is also into zoobles. I already picked up 2 of those.

For all those considering a Fantasmic Pkg, I honestly don't think you will need one if they are running the show nearly every night. The seats you get with the package are not the best seats in the house and the crowds should be disbursed through the week enough that it's not a necessity.

To go on a night that it wasn't already scheduled on before may be a good idea. Not everyone who is going to Wdw is as savvy as the rest of us, and may not bother to switch their dining ressies or plans based on the new info. Some people may not even be aware of any changes until they show up.
