Chapter 2. Pre FoooooooDDDDDD talk.
Well, if you guys were reading everything, that my sweet lovely wife was writing in her first post, you would have seen that she spilled the beans about our dinning i was going to suprise you guys with.
But if you did not then here we go.
Growing up and even trips of late, we never did the dinning plan with my folks. My dad does not like to take extra time out of parks and such to sit down to meals, we are an eat and go type of family....
Well that seems to have changed.
Now we always do some sit downs, like we always do Chef Mickeys, and my dad loves O'hana, so those are for certain meals, and recently we have also done Whispering Canyon on trips.
So last weekend when our 180 day window to start booking arrived, i set him up with the website to go online and book the meals, we fly by the seat of pants with them so playing the weather that far out and not knowing when we would be where, he booked 1 meal for chef mickey and ohana the first week, and 1 meal for each the second week.
Fair enough we were hoping that we would go to each the first week and then talk him into going to them again the second week.
Now also last week i mentioned how it would be fun to eat at the crystal palace for a breakfast characters with pooh and get into the park early for that.
I guess he agreeded because he booked that meal for a breakfast.
Okay great.
We are moving along very nice...candi and i thought that was all of the meals, well besides our CS that we would do around WDW.
Well, then we were looking at doing the luau, just candi and i, and leave parker with grandparents for the night, so we could have anight out, candi was pumped about this and digging the all you could drink part of the evening, im not going to lie i was excited as well, bottomless beer, and pirate punch,
well, he calls me monday and says just wait on booking it, he is looking into something at AAA. okay
i was clueless and no idea what he was talking about.
So tuesday rolls around and pops calls and says hey were are you, i say going to the store, he says okay ill meet you inside the doors. okay, me still clueless
well we get inside, and he says he mom and i just signed us up for the dinning plan for disney.
my reaction.
i could not believe it.
then he says how normally when we camp, there are alot of days when we have to go back to the camper and eat, and waste time and what not, so now we dont have to worry about it and your mother doesnt have to cook at all at the camper on vacation, and you can use hte dinning plan for the luau.
another bonus is that we always buy our tickets ahead of time, we get the 10 day tickets with the no expieration clause on them, and would have used 5 days on them and then we save the unused ones for next trip, we dont go in the parks each day.
but to get the dinning plan, he has to buy us a 1 day ticket...so we get another day on our tickets also.
this is just turning out gravy for candi and I.
so this saturday they are suppose to come over and we are going to book the rest of our dinning stuff.....how exciting is it going to be to do that many days of food planning.
Note: he is still not going to want to spend alot of time at TS meals waiting for food, so more than likely we will be doing alot of buffet meals in the parks so we dong have to wait around for a long time for it to come out...
So if you guys have any suggestions we will take them into consideration along with what we are already thinking.
Sorry there were no pictures in this post.
