Yay!!! All ADRs are made!!!! Yay for getting everything we wanted!! Narcossee's was the only one I had to take 40 minutes from what I wanted but it will still time out to watch Wishes from their deck

Hi! We are getting ready to make our ADR's in a few days. Did you make them online? If so, were there any issues? I want to try to get up early and do ours online before I have to go to work on Friday morning! Thanks!!!

Going to possibly show my Disney craziness here, but we actually chose our check in date based on our 180 mark and our 90 mark falling on weekends. I'm a teacher and I get up at 5 everyday and have to be at school by 6:45, so there's no way I could try to do my ADRs before I went to work. We will be checking in on a Thursday in July, so our ADR date is a Saturday and our FP date will be a Sunday. Am I so pathetic!? Haha!!!

That's awesome! I'm a school psych, and DH is a teacher! Friday is an inservice day for us so I don't have to get there as early as I usually do.....which will help.

Welcome. We will be in Disney the same time. Maybe we will run into you along the way. POFQ is a great small resort.

our 180 mark is friday. I am hoping my DH will be awake ( he is overseas) I would like to make them together, me on a landline and he texting me on my cell. Crazy right. He has told me to make what ever I want....but, I want to include him too. I am really worried that we will not get into AKL. This is our retirement trip and my DH picked AKL CL.... and he deserves it I want everything to be perfect for him. These passed 3 years have been rough in the military for us.

Not crazy or pathetic at all!! People who don't understand how it all works may call it crazy, but that's because they don't understand what you have to do to get what you want. My hubby walked in when I was making our ADRs at 6:30 am on the 180 day mark, he actually dared to mutter something about how nuts I was, but as I tell him and others...maybe I'm nuts, but I am "competing" with thousands of other "nuts" out there who are also trying to get the same dates and times we are, so you can call it crazy or nuts or whatever, but you have to play the game!!!

On a related note, when I was making those ADRs at 6:30am on the 180 day mark, I plugged in that I wanted dinner at 6:00 at 'Ohana, and the closest they had was 6:25. Of course, that time is fine, but it just goes to show you that the 6:00 time frame was already booked up that quickly when the window opened.

I knew my fellow nuts would understand It's true about it being necessary! And the funny thing is....my family always acts like I'm slightly unstable planning SO far ahead but yet when we go and have the time of our lives they realize it was due to my pre-planning. They get it, but they still think I'm a little cuckoo

That's awesome! I'm a school psych, and DH is a teacher! Friday is an inservice day for us so I don't have to get there as early as I usually do.....which will help.

Funny, we have an inservice day Friday too! Good luck!! Save me some good stuff for when I book on Saturday

 

[kraftys]

Hilarious! I actually think my family just thinks everything magically falls into place, but that's okay. I'm over it!

Excited to join the July 2014 Disney trip party! We will be at the Polynesian from 7/2 until 7/5 when we embark on a Disney Cruise with our extended family. By that point, it will have been 2.5 years since our last Disney trip and we can't wait!

Our ADR are for:
Dinner @Hollywood & Vine w Fantasmic package (new to us)
Breakfast @ Cinderella's Royal Table
Dinner @ 'Ohana
Breakfast @ Kona Cafe (new to us)

to our July party! Sounds like you will have a great time. I really want to stay at the Poly sometime in the future. I will get you on the front page with your information and if you feel comfortable letting us know the times of your ADR's and the exact days I will put that and your daily touring plan on Page 39 Posts #577 & 579.

[Ferrentinos]

DH thinks I am crazy... with my charts, calendars and lists... finalized the "plan" of our days and will get to try to make it all happen on Thursday morning! I'll be showering at 5:30am so I am all ready to go at 6am to log in! That way I won't be late to school! (I'm a teacher too but have a normal day of work on Thursday.)

 

[Koh1977]

Anybody know anything about the new parade at MK? Does it start this Spring? Will it be a 3pm parade? Is the MSEP sticking around still?
