Simon Sayz It's Time for a PTR

[simonsayz]

Hi there!

I am actually really excited about my upcoming trip. I been to Disney 6 times, but the first 5 times I never planned it. Last year, I did the planning and it was a bit hard and frustrated. This year, not so much.

My name is Simon, hence the title, 28 yrs old.
This will be my first PTR, not sure if I am doing it correctly. (mods you can correct me if I am doing something wrong)

Party: Just me and my gf, we'll call her M.

Take off and back: Nov 25 - Dec 1, 2012

Hideout: All-Star Music

ADRs: respectively starting Sunday; Kona Cafe(dinner), Tuskers House (lunch), O'hana(dinner), Coral Reef(dinner), and 50's Prime Time (dinner)

This is going to be M's 2nd time to Disney World. We haven't tried out all the rides so we are excited!
I have an android phone and I use this app Out of Milk. I use the To-Do List to keep track of my ADRS, which park to go to, which ride to go first, which FP to get. I find this way the best way for me to keep up. I tried excel which I here & there still use as a reference, but it's just not convienent enough

So far I am still working on my 2nd day. I just got done with my 1st day (travel + park day)

We will be arriving to MCO around 9:24am taking the 6am flight from NYC.

This is my first day. I am hoping to go to Epcot right away. Last time we missed Osbourne Lights. This time will be the first night to see it!
November 25 2012 (Travel Day)

The plan might change considering these are just rough drafts

November 28 2012
To be honest, I don't even know what we will be doing on this day haha. I kinda want to just wing it. Probably head to Animal Kingdom again and wing it until Lunch @Flame Tree BBQ and going to share the Ribs & Chicken Combo + Keylime Pie.

Maybe visit AKL? What do you guys suggest?
We will go to Studios to see Fantasmic @6:30pm and have our reservation at O'hana @9PM!!! Love the food here!
Funny thing is..as my mind was blank and kept thinking of what to do..gradually i got the whole day planned!

to be continue...

I want this to be a separate post since it's not exactly following the days, but more of information on what will be ordered
originally i had the tip amount, but it's best I do not have it considering the who knows if any CM waiters/waitresses see this LOL


So this is another screenshot of what the TS Restaurants we will be going and also I calculated how much to Tip for each Table Service. You can't see the notes, but the notes shows what main Entrees we will be ordering.

Kona Cafe:

Entrees:

S - Tuna Oscar
M - Shrimp & Scallops​

Dessert: Not sure yet! ​

Tuskers House: Buffet

Restaurant Marrakesh:

Entrees:

Simon - Couscous w/ Lamb Shank,
M - Mogador Fish Tagine​

Dessert: Moroccan Symphony​

O'hana: Buffet

Coral Reef:

Entrees:

2X Grilled Mahi Mahi​

Dessert:

Stuck btw Chocolate Wave & Baileys and Jack Daniel's Mousse.​

50's Prime Time Café:

Entrees:

2X A sampling of Mom's favorite recipes​

Dessert:

S - the S'mores!
M - No sugar added cheesecake​

Basically I just added up the entrees+drinks+dessert and did the 15%, of course depending on the service I might be tipping more.
