Love ~ thanks for answering me and Sharky's questions. Gotta do our homework before the meet. Glad I'm not the only one that will be doing the Sharky slip up
Sharky ~ Great update. Your day on Dec. 7th mimics mine pretty good so looks like we'll be able to stalk each other at the parks for at least one day
It will more than likely be meI call you Sharky when I talk about you to chris.
Reading this reaaaaaally is starting to make me jealous....
Me too!!
I know...so wish I could meet you all...darn that BLT filling up during December!!
After reading my title again, I hope no one got the wrong idea. It kind of sounds like I think my Pre-Trip Report is the best since sliced pie... That is not the case at all.
My most favorite thing in the world is my family of course
Which is then followed by Disney World
Last, but not Least, the Christmas Season
Spending the Christmas Season with my Family at Disney World is like a dream come true to me.
DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS
Up Next.............Tentative list of ADRs
and you were happy to be without us this trip 
]
Marshay asked if we had free dining and I thought I get to that question before I give the list of our tentative adrs.
When we first booked this trip, we were using a CM Room Only Discount and planned on eating mainly counter service meals. We were going to pay Oop for one or two table service meals.
Then, when They released the Free dining Fall Package for general public, I did some math and figured out that was a better savings for us.
Since we are staying at a value, we were to get the Quick Service Plan for free. Well, I did the math and figured out for only $127.00 more, we could upgrade to the Regular Dining Plan
How could we turn that down
So Marshay, the answer to your question......Yes, we do have free dining
In making up our list of ADRs, had to take into consideration a few things.
First being, DS is the pickiest eater you will ever meat. When most picky kids will at least Hotdogs or Peanut Butter and Jelly. Not my DS....
Second, DH had put in a request to eat a few buffets, his favorite and to eat a couple times in the World Showcase. Since he never gets his way, I Figured I be the nice wife and grant him this request
Finally, I really want all of us to see some of the Deluxe Resorts Christmas Decorations. I don't want to take a special trip just to see them, taking away from Park time. I thought best solution would be to eat at TS meals at some of these Resorts.
The List
Rose and Crown Pub - Dinner
LeCellier - Dinner (hopefully)
1900 Park Fare - Dinner
Chef Mickey's - Dinner
Kona - Breakfast
Boma - Breakfast
Now we have only done Boma for dinner, but never experienced Breakfast there. I hear it is out of this word. I am very exicted about this one
We did 1900 Park Fare for Breakfast almost ten years ago, so this will be new to us too, as it will be dinner and different Characters.
Chef Mickey's is the first character Meal we ever did as a family. DS had one request this year and that was to see Mickey Mouse. This is way better than standing in a long line to see him
Le Cellier, Rose and Crown and Kona are first for us. I am dying to try some Tonga Toast. I hear it is awesome
I know LeCellier is a very popular restaurant and I may not be able to get it for dinner or even lunch.
As a back up, We are going to try for Late lunch at Le Chefs De France. That would be another new one for us.
There you have it, that is our list
And here I was thinking "It don't get better than this" because you are going with out your Mom
Glad to hear its because you are going at Christmas time!!!!
you guys are too funny (did you notice I said 'you guys' instead of y'all this time?
And since I have told Chris what I call you all on here this is how I will have to introduce you all to him.
"This is Nicole, the one we call Love on DIS. This is John, the one we call UJ on DIS. And this is Kelly, the one we call Sharky on DIS."
Reading this reaaaaaally is starting to make me jealous....
I thought I mix thing up a bit, and throw green into the mix, keeping in the Christmas Spirit
With the hours not being released yet, I looked up last year's park hours and made a tentative itinerary based on that
Wed, Dec 2nd : Flights not booked yet, but should arrive around 2pm, Check in, Grab a bite at food court and head over to DTD. If time allows, we will head over to Epcot to get a little taste of the parks that night
Thurs, Dec 3rd: Breakfast at Food Court, Pool time if warm enough. Then over to Chef's Mickeys for an early dinner. Then onto MVMCP(not definite yet, but hopefully)
Fri, Dec 4th: DHS in the morning. Have a CS meal here, then take the friendship boat over to Epcot. Late dinner at Rose and Crown. Hoping to time it right to be able to watch Illuminations. EMH might be that night, but will probably cut out around 9:30. Head back to POP for our 10:30 DIS MEET at Hippy Dippy Pool
Sat, Dec 5th: Late Breakfast at Boma, head over to AK for a few hours. Then to hotel to relax a little bit and then hit DHS to go see Osborne lights. Since DHS closes so early, time for another trip to DTD
Sun, Dec 6th: Breakfast at Food Court, on to Epcot, Hoping to get an early dinner or late lunch at LeCellier. I have Le Chefs De France as a back up in case we can't get in there. Then we will take the frienship boat over to DHS. Hoping it is EMH like last years schedule. I am very determined to finally catch Fantasmic
Mon, Dec 7th: Late breakfast at Kona. Bus over to Epcot for awhile. Possible break at hotel. Then head over to TTC, to get monorail for Grand Floridian for late dinner at Cinderella's Gala Feast. Then over to MK, for what I hope will be EMH
Tues, Dec 8th: Last DayPack up and check out. Eat breakfast at Food court. Then, it is up to my boys
to pick the final park. Hoping to get the latest flight out, so we have at least half day at one of the parks.
I am sure once it is time for ADRs, this will change
Up Next...Counting down to ADR Day
Awesome..glad he knows about Tomato
Oh sweet. I was guessing the ages for all of them with Carla and I was right.
This is cool as Trent will be 6, so not far in age from the boys.
That will be nice for him to have other kids and boys to boot, as all his friends for right now are girls
Silly Mother
Thanks
I found a few things he would eat at some of those places
Two are for breakfast so he will be fine there at least
Yeah, could never afford to eat there out of pocket
Its funny how you are all practicing names, at least when I met ya'll or, youse guys, lol, I could call you Carla and Chris and Cheri and Mike and Betsy as you use your names on here, but I can't imagine calling Tom Tomato, LMAO! That would be a riot! Also introducing Bryan to Love, UJ and Tomato would be too funny!
Yea, I hear ya, me too Cheri. I feel like if Kelly is going I should be going with her but its not happening this time.
Oh really
Cool. I did not know we would match that day. I thought u were at DHS that day
Sweet
But we just might once I get the park hours. We all know my itinerary will change again once I know for sure what the park hours are. Me too!!
I know...so wish I could meet you all...darn that BLT filling up during December!!

Tomato should go take a picture in front of BLT
Yeah, well silly me, we actually don't.
Yes, darn that BLT!!!
I just noticed that I still have my ticker for US up, my savings ticker has mysteriously disappeared, and that last ticker without the savings ticker doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I think I have $40 some on the savings ticker. Thus the long wait time for the trip.Hey, Tat...I just saw your siggie --
And you are going too fast for me. I have five pages to catch up on.Hey girl!!!
Glad you are here
I just started it last night shortly before midnight
A friend of mine was putting on the peer pressure to make me do one
Luv ya Carla
Have to get one in there somehow. Will work on that this week
You all are cracking me up!I would SO call him Tomato to his face!And since I have told Chris what I call you all on here this is how I will have to introduce you all to him.
"This is Nicole, the one we call Love on DIS. This is John, the one we call UJ on DIS. And this is Kelly, the one we call Sharky on DIS."
You and me both, kid! I may have to plan a solo trip!Reading this reaaaaaally is starting to make me jealous....

Rushing Christmas
September is almost here, then comes October, then November, Then Christmas

Falalalalalalala
I have never done free dining before. Hopefully not as crazy as I hear it can be in August and part of September
