Shh, do you hear that? It's the winds of change~link to new thread post#3501

Melissa- hope you have a magical time. Safe travels

Jen- what a special treat for your family- bet the attitude cleared up fast.

I go to starring rolls when the rest of the family heads over to RnR and ToT. Personally, I like the Dole floats better than the Dole whips

Has our "dates/who's where and when" list been updated lately?? I'm happy to say It looks like I'll get to meet our sweet Gwynne and Lovely Basketlacey at Beaches and Cream on our last night in Disney! so excited! Just don't make me eat the kitchen sink gals, that thing fives me a tummy ache just looking at it!

Have I said lately how excited I'm getting to be checking into the POLY!!! I've got butterflies thinking about it, and I pray I love it as much as PADAWANS, and DANI and Iheartthemouse, only 13 days to go!

Well now that my resort is settled, it seems I'm adjusting ADRs LOL!
Now that I have plans to meet Basket Lacey and Gwynne on Oct 3 (which is our DHS day)....I am looking at canceling Kona cafe dinner and Sci Fi diner lunch in favour of using that extra TS credit and booking Yachtmans for dinner. My boys And I love a great steak, and honestly, with a table service signature meal for dinner, I'd be fine forgoing a lunch at Sci Fi and just doing a quick service lunch instead. We are ahead on our QS credits anyway, and this would ensure we use them instead of leaving QS credits on the table unused at checkout.

We are planning to meet for a sweet treat at beaches and cream around 8:30 so that would be nice and close for our meet. I guess I'll have to forgo dessert at Yachtmans, lol -- I don't want to be rolled out!

In a perfect world I'd switch up my days too... And do Epcot on Oct 3 (every touring calendar puts crowds at 8.5 though and recommends avoiding Epcot this day) and do DHS on the 2nd.....but with Epcot crowds predicted to be so much higher, I don't want to chance a bad touring day. I guess I'll keep oct 3 at DHS, take the boat over for dinner/ RCer meet, then if my boys want to split and close out Epcot till 12am, I buy them a hopper ?
In the scheme of a $9,000 vacation, what's another $60, heh!?

PS.....can you see illuminations from Beach/yacht club ? I don't want to buy PHers just for my BFF and I to see that!

Marie You can walk down and watch IllumiNations from the bridge that is between BC & BW and get a good view of the higher fireworks, we watched from there twice in the evenings in March

Wow, Jen! How flippin' cool is that!

Melissa: I hope you guys love YC. We went a bit over the area last year. You'll have to tell us how the pool is!

---------------

Today's Disney Madness Update: name tags are done, ordered a case of water (despite getting bottles from CL, we go through it like crazy), found another Halloween goodie at Target this A.M. so packed that away (darn that dollar section) ... need to go update my spreadsheet with "White Chocolate Elephant - Kusafiri Coffee Shop" aaaaaaannnnnd I really need to stay off that Cupcake thread.

Miss I have the Wt elephant cup cake on my list for this trip too! What cupcake thread? Off to go seek this thread out

Jeannette Did I read your at the BWI .......try it you will love it!

 

[Mousemommy1]

Angry mob!!!



Welcome!!! As kook would say pull up a rocker and join us!!! Actually I'd say that too cuzz I love WL too!! Anyway we are a very friendly group ... some might say a little chatty! And since I'm on the west coast I'm usually late to the party in the morning but I do finally get there!!

Oh by the way .... I just added 5 more days to my January trip!!!

5 more days!!!!! Wooohoooooo!!!!!

 

[pas130]

Ready2vacation..so glad you found us! I could've written your last post about researching the trips...and of course dh and the whole "do what you want

This is the nicest bunch of peeps in the whole world. And I am proud to call them family

Love the wl....BTW...the hostess of the wl thread kookalicious is a charter rc member

Sheila: still at bwi cl. Considering dropping cl....but also considering sugarloaf..LOL

So many Sept peeps...you all must be soooo excited... HUGS

 

[pas130]

Melissa and Sarah....safe travels

 

[pas130]

Mama Linda....woohoo for more January days

 

[Missoutandabout]

Good morning ladies! Trying a quick multi before off to get poked and prodded by the physical therapist. Bosu balls are horrid works of torture for those with the coordination of Elaine-like dancers.

Sarah: How's the packing coming along?!

I just have to say that it is SO NICE to meet people who have the same issues!!! My DH just goes with the flow and leaves ALL decision making to me (probaby part of the problem!), but I suspect that my friends and family think I'm a little nuts. Or a lot.

... make yourself cozy! Also, what I'd call that sort of husband is "One Smart Man" -- leaving all the for us to sort out.

Glad the name tags are done and water ordered, now you just need to stay out of Target

Seriously. Target is a dangerous store. I've looked at our extended forecast. I know not to pay it too much credence. Looks like we've got 40% chance of T-storms all next week. I'm hoping that's just the normal "Rains Every Afternoon" FL storms sorta percentage.

You all should head over to the restaurants board and see the "outrage" about BOG serving alcohol....literally (and I did post this in the thread), it is ironic that they are behaving like the angry mob at the end of Beauty and the Beast.

Why do people care so much about what others do???

Angry mob! Do they have their pitchforks out? Silly people. A glass of wine at MK sounds positively lovely to me... then followed up with a cupcake, of course.

Oh by the way .... I just added 5 more days to my January trip!!!

That is EXCELLENT, GG! What are the dates now?

I go to starring rolls when the rest of the family heads over to RnR and ToT. Personally, I like the Dole floats better than the Dole whips

I really need to try these. The floats have the crushed pineapple poured over top? That sounds yummmmm.

Has our "dates/who's where and when" list been updated lately??

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for meeting up with Basketlacey and Ginny! You all must take pics. (No Way Jose is a good alternative, if you love peanut butter and chocolate. )

Miss I have the Wt elephant cup cake on my list for this trip too! What cupcake thread? Off to go seek this thread out

Sheila, be warned... there are TONS of drool-inducing pictures: The Thigh-Enlarging Cupcake Thread. Doesn't the White Elephant one sound delicious? I do love coconut pecan icing... oh my.

Eep, I just noticed a thread there entitled 50's Primetime Diner Nightmare... will have to save that for when I get back.

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Miss My new January dates are the 7th thru 26th!!! DD decided to fly in so I had to the days. Flights for both of us booked/changed. Of course I have no where to stay after the 13th .... guess I better work on that!!!

Sounds like a plan!!! Any details yet????

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

WAIT!!! DID ANYONE SEE MY TICKER?? ONE MONTH!!!

 

[chimo2u]

Well, I did it! I changed up my last Disney day dining this late in the game! I dropped lunch at Sci FI, and decided to use that TS credit to enjoy a meal at yachtmans steakhouse instead.....we can never turn down a great steak! we have extra QS credits, so I'll just do QS lunch at backlot express or somewhere in DHS, then we will take the boat across for dinner at yacthmans. So far, all they could get me is 6:45....which is cutting it close for my beaches and cream meet at 8:30..... But hoping I'll be able to snag something closer to 6:15/6:30 in the next two weeks! Fingers crossed a cancelation comes up! Looking forward to this signature dinner, I've always wanted to eat there!

Sounds good!!! We plan on making reservations at Yachtsman too! It's going to be hard not to go to Le Cellier this time, but it will be good to try something new, and I've heard wonderful things about Yachtsman!!!

If you can't get an earlier reservation you can always try just showing up early. We've done that before and they've always gotten us in prior to our ADR time.

I am $300 closer to getting back to Disney!!! (Made a payment today)
