The Official MARCH 2012 Thread! Countdown to Spring Break TOGETHER!!

[sandym718]

We made our ADR's today! We booked Crystal Palace, Ohana, 1900 Park Fare (breakfast), HDDR, Chef Mickey's, Mama Melrose F! Pkg, and LeCellier (lunch). The only one we had some difficulty with was LeCellier. We couldn't get seating for all 11 of us. So each family is booked separately, but at the same time, and hopefully they can get us together/near each other

 

[Stormy888]

Yes! We booked for March 3-12, 2012 today at POR!

I think I am more excited than ds, almost 10, is!

This is our 2nd trip, the first being October 2009. Has it really been almost 2 years??

We previously were going to book a little later but then found out about the FREE Dining!! We juggled the dates and we are going to save by changing the dates and the free Dining $1700!!

I am ready to start planning!

 

[::danielle::]

I am *so* excited! I was able to make an ADR for CRT at 8:15 on our first day! I cannot wait to kick off our Disney trip by taking DD to see the Princesses and still make it in time for Rope Drop.

Now if I could just get our airplane tickets, I will finally relax......

 

[bigjrfan88]

when do you think they'll release F! packages for other nights for the first week in March. Currently they only list 2 or 3 days and F! is listed for every night that week. I talked to the lady at reservations and no one else is booked for any other days, so it's not like the other dates are booked yet. Keep an eye out, and let us all know if other days become available.

March 27-April 4, POFQ
Hope everyone has a great time
When should I do my dining reservations??

 

[teetee830]

Got to make my ADR's this morning. I had to call them in, I moved this weekend and still don't have internet and bad cell service at the new house.

I made Rose & Crown, La Hacendia, Crystal Palace, O 'Hana, Boatwrights, Donald's Safari B-Fast, T-Rex, and Kona Grill (breakfast)!

I can't wait it seems much closer now.

Pretty much locked in all the ADR's that I thought we might do. Got a character breakfast 3 mornings. Just now looking to see if they end up posting F! packages everynight of the week instead of just a handful. We learned our last trip to not get locked into lunch and dinner reservations if we can help it. If the park gets crowded and you want to go somewhere else then you might be stuck because of your reservations, especially if its one of those ressies that make you cancel way in advance or pay a fee.

 

[disneymomtotwins]

Just made our dining reservations: Chef Mickeys, Ohana's & Rainforest Cafe. Only 3 has we have quick service dining plan. Might add one more but can't decide where.

I'll just say this about Rainforest Cafe. If you have never been then try it. But as far as restaraunts at Disney, it's just OK. We went to the one outside of AK on our last trip and really wasnt that impressed. I say try it once if its a must do. However, if it were me, and I was going with small children, I would try for another character meal rather than sitting in a loud restaraunt that has lousy broken animatronic animals and lousy service. The food was on par with a Ruby Tuesday or Applebees. Everything is waaaay overpriced, and the waiters try to sell you everything in the place.

Just my 2 cents

 

[beclaney]

My Mom and Me just booked yesterday. Staying at Por Royal Room. March 3-9.
It will be our second trip in 2012. Going January at ssr for the first time and may 18-24 at ssr.

 

[jretzlaff22]

Glad everyone is having luck on their ADRS! We make ours in a week from Sat and I am super excited and yet nervous at the same time. Seems like it isn't as hard/difficult as I orginally thought. Especially if I am up early Here's to a great experience!

 

[Jenzerbenz]

Jenzerbenz- How wonderful for you to get to experience Disney as a Mommy for the first time! I can assure that you are in for a treat. Its like doing Disney for the first time shen you go with a child. Where will you be staying?[/QUOTE]

Sorry for the late reply, work got CRAZY!
We are staying at Coronado Springs. Our friends recommended it because they thought the bus services was better and we could get two queen beds instead of two doubles.

Now if I could just get our airplane tickets, I will finally relax......

How bad are fares out of Texas? I haven't found anything under 300 out of Chicago. I am hoping to get them for 250 or under, but that may be wishful thinking......

 

[jretzlaff22]

we paid 350 out of Kansas City- tickets are extremely high

 

[DMGeurts]

Hi all!

I've decided to bite the bullet and take my girls on a "girls only" trip...

POFQ March 8 - 16

If you are interested in PTRs, mine is in my siggy.

Add me to the March 2012 gang, March 4-11 to be exact. We are staying offsite at the Embassy Suites Lake Buena Vista as my husband gets an employee rate. My first and only other visit to Disney was in 1998 with a bunch of girlfriends so this is all pretty new to me. We are bringing our two daughters, ages 6 and 4 and my inlaws who spend the winter in Florida will also be joining us.

I have an ADR for CRT on March 7th so far and hoping to get one for lunch on the 8th at Tusker's.

Total rookie question here...if I'm staying off site, I can only reserve 180 days in advance right? At what time can you start reserving?
