Studios Overload, a Pop Mishap and One Smooth Talking Hubby FINAL DAY UP. PG 68

[Trentmom]

Man, I can NOT do that! I am way too old to stay up all night and then go to work!

STOP! You are rushing Christmas! Summer went way too fast and now you want winter to get here. You are a nut!

You know what I always say when I go for free dining. Then somehow I get sucked in. But I do prefer staying offsite and going to restaurants offsite. So much less insanity.

I normally do not go to bed until 3am, so what is another 3 hrs

Sorry. I love fall........................because that means Christmas is right around the corner



I am not ready to stay offsite yet. I love being submerged in the magic 24/ 7

I just wanted to hop over from another TR and say that I'm in!!!

I'm in the same boat as you. My fam is going to WDW in Dec as well (11-15 or 16-21) and we booked our room only with my CM discount but I'm thinking about maybe checking on the free dining with the base ticket that we could use the day we do MVMCP but I thought free dining was over on 12/17 which would not work if we had to go the 2nd week

Can't wait to read more of yours!!!

Welcome. So nice to have another reader

The free dining was a much bigger savings for us in the long run.

I am not 100% positive, but as long as you check in before the 17th, your free dining should last the entire length of your stay

I am almost positive. You should call up Disney and double check though. I do not want to get you any wrong information

Hope it all works out for you

10 more days until we can make adrs. Be on the look out another update not too far away

 

[Marshay]

Making those ADRs just makes it so much more real!

I think you are smart to just stay up late to make you ADRs (instead of getting up early)...maybe even try to take an early evening rest or <gasp> nap?! Or just sleep in and make your ressies around 7:30-8am if you can...you'll still be ahead of most people....

Like I said, I made mine at 9:40am and had no problems but I wasn't trying for Le Cellier...

Also, check back on-line frequently...people cancel all the time and times are added in, too (I read the day before I made my ressies that people couldn't get Le Cellier at all, but when they called the CM said that for some reason Le Cellier hadn't been loaded into the system that day yet). And of course, check around 45 days prior, since people can cancel their trips w/money back so that opens up ressies.

I can't wait for that feeling

If it was not for LeCellier, I would just wait til a little bit later in the morning

But DH really wants to eat there. So, am going to do my best to get usi n there

Thanks for the tip. If Nothing comes up, will try again the next day.

Ah okay. Will not give up. I will try and get LeChefs in its place, just so I have something. But will keep looking as it gets closer

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 Day Pack 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

Kelly,
I like your style.....nothing wrong with a little Disney boot camp....I like to say......Face it, we are all sick, sick sick!!!!

Its not really bad until you have a time sheet that tells you what rides you need to be on at certain times of the day.......(Like I do!!!)

What is your day to make ADR again??? Mine is Sept. 04.......

Heck Yeah

I am not as bad as you then. I don't have my rides done by time

I need to at least have a park picked out for each day. I don't want to get up each morning and be saying to each other, Where do you want to go? Then They say..I don't know, where do you want to go?

September 3rd

 

[cherbear]

Hey Nikki

I actually thought I was going too slow

My plan is just to stay up til 6am, Make my adrs and then go to sleep for a few hours til time to go to work




Rushing Christmas

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

Not too far away

Falalalalalalala

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

well that is a plan...LOL

the parks are actually not too crowded during free dining because everyone is always in the restaurants eating!

I was JUST going to say that Kelly! I had her quoted and ready to say it and then read that you beat me to it.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Those plans look great! Hope the hours stick sort-of close to last year's...since we probably have to make our ADR's based on them!

 

[lovebuzzandwoody]

wow that IS funny!!! Tomato should go take a picture in front of BLT

I would SO call him Tomato to his face!

Don't I know it, sister!

You and me both, kid! I may have to plan a solo trip!

I LIKE that idea!

Good point

Great minds think alike

Thanks. I hope they are pretty close too.

I am sure December hours will not be out until the 4th or 5th of the month probably

Don't I know it, sister!

I'm sorry... I did see it... I just had a blonde moment and didn't respond!

10:30 would be fine for me but it might be too late for my kids. But we could work something out... I could come w/o them or they could come for a little bit. I haven't given any thought to our itinerary yet so I'm not sure what park we are doing that day. Gosh, I'm such a slacker!

And whatcha doin home? You not working today? (well, isn't that a nosy question!)

Silly girl

I hope boys can come, even for just a little bit. It would be nice for Trent to have someone to play with. Give them a nap during the day, so they can stay up late. Pretty please

Well, I was waiting on dh to get home from doctors so I could go to work. He got himself a new primary dr and she is awesome. So awesome, that his appt was over an hr long
