I'm so excitedand I've got to share our news with our Dis pals!! So tonight Caitlin was in our community's annual Summer Festival Beauty Pageant and WON!!!!!
She won a 1200$ scholarship,
a gift basket with hair care products and what every princess needs.....a tiara!
The festival is next weekend so she gets to ride in the parade, judge the baby contest and do other special things at the festival all weekend. Our whole extended family was there to cheer her on and we were all so proud! I'll post some pics in the morning!
That is so cool. Congratulations to Caitlin. She will make the cutest princess!!!!!!!
First off, you looked absolutely GORGEOUS in your gown. Congrats again, that scholarship will come in handy
You convinced me to do this, I figure for $32 for both of us, I would kick myself if we didn't. Love the pics!!
So this morning was our 90 days so I went online at 6am to book our adr for our first night's stay. (you can book at exactly 90 days without a reservation confirmation #) My goal for that adr was the elusive Ohana. Well at 90 days out at 6am I could only get in there after 9pm! There is no way I want to eat dinner that late! My second choice was the Luau. That wasn't available either 
I ended up booking Narcossee's which we enjoyed in May. (our experience there will be in our next post) I got Narcossee's at 5:45 and I know we'll enjoy the steak and lobster again! Caitlin had just finished giving out the pkg confirmation number, our names and adress etc and the cell phone cut out! 
She called back on the same phone so I dialed her phone, in case of another mishap. At 7:23 she got through again and the same thing happened! 
UGH!
I hate ATT and am seriously considering cancelling my service with them! This is about the final straw with them! Anyway, I passed her the phone that was still waiting on hold and at 7:35 we got another agent. The first thing she requested was Crystal Palace at 8am on Oct 1. I 
being in the parks before opening! Well 8 was filled but we were able to get 8:45 so we still get in early and this should be fun since we've never had this character breakfast. (would have liked it earlier but what can I do?)
) Well unless we wanted the 9:30 show it was filled the night we wanted it My 2nd choice was the Luau which was also filled 
Our 3rd choice was the Flying Fish and we got that at 5:30. We've never been here, does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Late that afternoon will be our dinner at FF.
I think you guys will like it!
Great ADRs! I've heard great things about FF!
Wow, we ran into the same problems as you, the only good thing is when Jasmine and I are there on our own, we didn't mind eating really late, but the previous 2 weeks when my nieces are with us 9pm is far too late
Love your plans!!
( I am bummed about Ohana though! )
As for Sept- We knew we wanted to do at least one signature dining and since we're only going for 3 nights that would have taken 2 of our 3 ts credits so we knew we'd have to pay for some meals OOP. When I crunched the numbers it was a better value to upgrade than to pay oop. We certainly won't be able to finish apps and desserts at all our meals but we'll have fun trying!
On our arrival day we will be hitting the Food and Wine Festival for lunch so I am pretty sure we'll be using up a lot of our snack credits on our first day!
