I haven't hear exactly what happens w/ the train during parade but I did read that the parade will be doing a loop at the hub and going back the way it comes out... but we won't know for sure till they announce what they r planning to do

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Isn't the parade route going to be different in August due to the bridge repairs??????

Oh, that's right! I read that is was going to step off on Main St. and go down Main St. loop the hub and return down Main St.

Did i ever mention I made an ADR for Brown Derby for lunch for myself? Well I did. I figure I am usually an afternoon break person so I will eat first then go back to the resort and break. I am excited about it!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Kat, you have my itin and contact info right?

 

[DisneyJo]

Janet have you cancelled a Kona brekkie????

 

[KatGarcia]

Kat, you have my itin and contact info right?

yes ma'am!

But I don't have a pic.....

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

yes ma'am!

But I don't have a pic.....

I guess I figured you all would spot my brothers in the crowd and that was all the recognition I would need. I'll send one to you now.

I think you will really enjoy it Kat!

Janet have you cancelled a Kona brekkie????

I made an earlier ressie!

OK.

Talking with the boys today, they both now want to hit DHS on the first day.

I really think this is a slightly better plan (it's not rope drop, but...) because we may NOT be up for anything after TL and yet it was my only time hitting DHS. Seeing the Power Rangers are a big deal, and I don't know if they'll be at DHS later in the day. Also, they've now seen video of their friends doing the Jedi training and if we could catch that in the daytime...

With this plan, we MAY go to MK in the evening after TL, but if we don't we still have one whole day and one rope drop to 4:00ish day there - no biggie if we don't go. Except that I can't believe we won't see MK until the 4th day then. I love MK.

So, we'll hit WDW by noonish, (I think the flight gets in slightly before 11:00) check in or at least leave the bags, and head to DHS. I like to start with MK, but... This is supposed to be a little bit for them, too, right?

Now, I need more advice.

I have an early dinner ADR for Chef Mickey's on arrival day, thinking we'd be at MK.

On our DHS day, I had a "normal" dinner time ADR for Sci Fi - just a throwaway that I thought the kids might like, but nothing I'm desperate about.

SOOO...

Should I keep the ADR for Chef M's? Even if we'll be at DHS? Should I move Sci Fi (or anything else in DHS that kids enjoy - I'm up for anything, people!) to that night and try for CM's after TL? Or try for Ohana? Should I forget a park that night at all and book the kids into Simba's and D & I hit DTD? Or the Poly?

The only reason I'd want to keep the CM (or move it to the post-TL time) is because it's the only Mickey meal we'd have. We have CP later on with Janet, but that's not Mickey. My Buzz likes him some Mickey.

HEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.

We went from MGM to Chef's. And it took freakin' forever. So, if you're doing DHS...and you have an early ressie...you won't have very much time in the parks. KWIM?

I would move it if it's that important to you. Try for something in MGM and do Chef's another night.

Yes, I am. Did T's magic worksheet and it was better for us, even with the changes. My boys eat a lot.

OK, thanks Jen. This is good info.

 

[jcc0621]

CE, I went back and looked at your arrival date. That is also our DHS day My plan is get Toy Story FP's first thing in the AM for us. (Actually Jim and Jimmy will go while ANdrew and I ride Tot ). If I can finagle it, I will try and grab you some FP's for Toy Story so you can actually have a shot at riding it!

It was true before, but I LOVE you.

So what are your thoughts about the food? I like Jen's suggestions, but then I need something for DHS that night.

I would try and change Chef's and do Sci Fi that night. If you can't get there, what about 50's Prime Time. I don't think you will have much of an issue changing stuff around. Free Dining won't have started yet, and even with Free Dining I am reading alot of people are cancelling trips becasue of the economy. I was able to change my ressie at Kina with no problems, they had 5 or 6 time slots I could choose from.

 

[cmp1111]

Excellent. That helps. Now, should I try for a park at all the night after TL? The boys ADORED Simba's. So D & I could be free, for DTD or the Poly. Or we could go to CMs and then MK. Or CMs and then home to AKL. Or - god help me - we could change Boma to that night, then the night I planned for Boma, I could keep the kids in Simba's or do CM's.

I have caught the disease.

I thought I had no more planning.
