Sssh....don't tell anyone...we're cheating on CSR -- Contest -- Days 6 & 7--#3516

I have NO idea where I ended with my pretrip for Disney after getting ready to go to Nickiland.

Rather than try to go back, I'll just post a few things I may have not updated.

I got a rental car. I was able to rent a Toyota Corolla, but we will be upgraded to a standard car upon arrival. We got it for $339.13 from Enterprise for 13 days which isn't too bad. But I will keep checking as I think with the gas prices the way they are, that they will be cutting the prices just so they can rent cars.

Also, the week we left for Nickiland, I was able to make our ADR'S and here they are with the final times that we got:

Friday, September 23 -- 5:00 p.m. dinner at Fulton's

Saturday, September 24 -- 9:35 a.m. breakfast at Boma's

Sunday, September 25 -- 9:05 a.m. breakfast at Crystal Palace (I originally wanted 8:05 for early entrance on Main Street; but this turns out for the best because we are dining with MaryAz, her hubby, Jeff, the girls and grandparents and they arrive on Saturday rather late and they would have jet lag)

Sunday, September 25 -- 5:20 p.m. dinner at The Plaza

Monday, September 26 -- 11:30 a.m. lunch at Yak & Yeti

Monday, September 26 -- 5:45 p.m. dinner at Via Napoli (I may try to change this to 6:30...I'm afraid we won't be hungry at 5:45....what do you guys think?)

Wednesday, September 28 -- 11:30 a.m. lunch at Sci Fi

Thursday, September 29 -- 8:00 a.m. breakfast at Kona prior to our driving to Marco Island (I'm still trying to change this to 7:30 a.m. so we'll be on the road earlier to Nickiland)

Everything sounds great :thumbsup2 For the 26th what other eating plans do you have? If you have a small snack type breakfast and skip lunch for something snacky you might be hungry enough by 5:45pm
 
I love that you call SWFL Nickiland....thats what I call it too :lmao: When does my favorite couple head back to Nickiland....MUCH TOO LONG! I wish Mark could ump in FL instead :lovestruc

What I find is that no matter when the ressies are someone in my party (can ya guess who?) will be hungry no matter what time the ressies are set for. You have some great places set and I wouldnt change a thing...unless I am able to come up there for a weekend and then you can add 2 more to your Fultons ressies :thumbsup2

So our no dining reservation trip is coming up and I am getting a bad feeling about this.....I dont think we are going to get into anything! As much as I am complaining (I know right, like I ever complain :rolleyes1) I am kinda excited to see how it is going to pan out....takes me back to the days before we know what all the dining fuss was about!

I have to make our Oct dining ressies this Saturday and Mr. No Help At All isnt commenting so I am thinking of making him sign a contract that states he cannot change, cancel or add anything to the list since he didnt want to help in the planning stages. Penalty is I make him drive home (he prefers to sleep the 3 hour ride home).

Think it will work? ;)

And what is up with that snow???? You seriously should move down here, shame you dont know a Realtor in the area :laughing:

Oh, good luck with those ADR's! DH is the same way...I ask him many times beforehand where he'd like to eat. His answer is always the same, he doesn't care. Then maybe three days before we get there he's all, hey, are we eating at blah blah blah? I say no, you didn't tell me that and I'm not mind reader!:sad2: I think I like your contract idea, I just might employ that next time we go to Disney!:thumbsup2

For your no ADR trip, are you doing any reviews??
 
Looks like some good places!

Thank you, Ann.

What else would I call it but Nickiland? :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Yes, I forgot I know the Hot Rod Realtor of Marco Island.
Seriously, we are counting the days until we are back with you guys...we miss you so much.

I definitely think a contract is in order. The men just have to learn their place and their duties. ;)

Just checking in to say HI!

I think you got a good deal on your rental :thumbsup2 and your ADRs look pretty good!

Don't know about Yak and Yeti and Via Napoli though. You will have about 5 hours between meals - don't know if you really would be hungry again, but it all depends on HOW MUCH you will have for lunch.

I think I will leave it alone unless Mark insists on changing it. This will be the day we leave AK and head over to the CSR to swim at the pool before going to Epcot. We'll keep checking on the rental, but I'm not sure how much further we could get it down.

I feel your pain! Months in advance I start asking if there is anywhere in particular that anybody wants to eat. And to let me know NOW or we may not get reservations. DH usually doesn't have any requests but this time he wanted to take the boys to trails end, DS1 wants primetime cafe, DS2 has no requests, DS3 wanted to eat at earls at least a couple times. So I booked their requests and supper for 2 at rose and crown for DH and me. Halfway through the trip DS3 wanted to know when we were going to garden grill :confused3. That used to be a must do for us, but the cut out our breakfast then our lunch and we just never booked a supper. So this trip the only reservation I have so far is garden grill. I'm sure there will be complaints once we are down there.:sad2:

Mine is pretty good...he'll help or give suggestions. But I'm the one who always ends up making the final decision. :confused3

Your ADR's look great! I don't think Via Napoli is too early, you will probably be hungry again after being in the parks all day!

I'm kind of regretting skipping Crystal Palace this year...I bet I'll add it closer to my trip! :rotfl: I love that place!

I bet you'll add CP too; although I vaguely remember you were disappointed because you didn't see one of the characters (was it Eeyore?).

We escape without any major damage. The front blew through ( literally) in 30 minutes. Lots of wind and some scary looking clouds but we had nothing compared to the Eastern side of the state.

So glad you are okay; and I hope things have calmed down on the Eastern side.

Your ADRs look great, Kathy. That's one of the toughest things about the dining plan and making ADRs, though..how are you supposed to know when you're going to be hungry on a given day? And please tell me that it DIDN'T snow. That's just capital C CRAZY.

Yes, it snowed, and it is currently snowing right now at 9:50 a.m. :eek:

HI Kathy,

ON top of a really busy week getting my DH ready for his first day of work today, NOW my little netbook died today. UGH! I am so frustrated!!

So, just playing catch up on the many threads I am frightfully behind on. Love those ADRs!! YOu sure know how to plan a good eatathon!!

Thanks, Liesa. I read about your netbook. I'm so sorry. :sad2:

Thanks; I'm very pleased with what we picked this year.

Your ADRs look great. I don't Y&Y looks too close to Via Napoli. The times look perfect.

Thanks, Diane. We will leave as is (at least for now).

ADR's look great Kathy. I think you will be fine with Yak & Yeti & Via Napoli.

Love Boma:love: & CP. We are trying Via Napoli next month & will also be eating at Yak & Yeti again.

Thanks, Doreen. I keep reading good and bad lately on Via Napoli, but the Food Queen and her darling husband said to try it (I'm going with the spaghetti and meatballs).

Everything sounds great :thumbsup2 For the 26th what other eating plans do you have? If you have a small snack type breakfast and skip lunch for something snacky you might be hungry enough by 5:45pm

Hi, Stefy. Thanks for the :thumbsup2

I replied to your PM about our DIS meet and our dinner at Fulton's and will be back to you by weekend.

Oh, good luck with those ADR's! DH is the same way...I ask him many times beforehand where he'd like to eat. His answer is always the same, he doesn't care. Then maybe three days before we get there he's all, hey, are we eating at blah blah blah?

For your no ADR trip, are you doing any reviews??

Yes, Nicki is supposed to do a live review so we know how nuts she is doing it Todd's way. I can't wait to see this and whether or not Todd is alive when we get there in September. :lmao::lmao::lmao:
 
I've heard rumblings/rumors that free dining may be offered May 1. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as my TA indicates this would save us a little bit more than the 20% off we had on our room only.
 

OooHH Kathy if you here about FD let me know !!Carol is going in June and I wood love to get FD for her:love: !!We already have it !!:banana:

So are you taking me and Ana with you????? ;)
 
Hey! That was actually pretty funny! :lmao:

Thanks, Liesa. I thought you were on my side. :confused3

Glad you have it all figured out!




I made a funny! :yay: :banana::banana: :yay:

Now it is time for me to get some shut eye! :angel:

Hey, us girls have to shop and have coffee at the same time you know.

Hope you got some shut eye. Maybe you dreamed about starting your TR? Or perhaps it was a nightmare? :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:


Morning All !!I could go for a cup of Starbucks right now and I would carry my own!!:snooty:

:laughing::laughing::laughing: I'm surrounded my funny people today.

You wouldn't want Juliana to carry it for you? :lmao::lmao: :lmao::lmao:






Just to let you all know.... my TR is CLOSED! :woohoo: :rotfl2::rotfl2:


Hey, Tim, maybe that's a hint that EVERYONE is anxious for you to start the new one. Just saying. ;)
 
Good MOrning, Kathy!! HOpe your day is shaping up to be a great one so far!
 
Just to let you all know.... my TR is CLOSED! :woohoo: :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Tim- Glad I made your morning by giving you the 411 on your TR being closed...but you don't actually think that that is going to keep everyone from giving you a hard time about starting a new one, do you?:confused3 We know where to find you .:rolleyes1:rotfl:

- Dawn

Good morning, Liesa. Despite wanting to pull my hair out of my head at the office this morning, the day is okay. Hope you have a good one. :)

- Dawn

Dawn, it was SO fun talking to you on FB last night. And Tim...beware, we've roped in another one. :laughing::laughing::laughing:
 
All this Starbucks talk is making me thirsty Kathy! Luckily I have one in our neighborhood that takes me under five minutes to get to.:thumbsup2 Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite drink there? Mine is the chai tea, I actually don't drink coffee.:laughing:

Yikes, Tim is sure catching heck over here! I did see that his TR has been closed, so sad:sad1:. I'm sure he has a good excuse. Well, maybe just an excuse...ok, maybe he's just lazy.:laughing: I hope he's not following in Marv's footsteps and getting abused on various threads! Kidding Tim in case you read this!:laughing:
