[Leger13]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will do an update later this evening. I did get my itinerary all the way I wanted it (had to make some changes of course) and got my ADR's. Will tell you all about it after Chris and I get home from running errands this afternoon.

So there you have it. I'm REALLY excited about eating at Coral Reef and Le Cellier. I think out of all the ADR's I got the only one that I've already been to is LTT. I can't wait to try all these new places out. I tried as hard as I could to get Le Cellier for the CP but it just wasn't happening on the night we wanted. No biggie though. I also changed MVMCP night to the 10th because if I kept it on the 8th then we would have been eating late lunch @ Le Cellier and then early dinner at LTT on the same day. We would have been WAY too full to really enjoy ourselves at LTT. I'm happy with the way everything worked out and I'm VERY excited about it all!! I really can't wait for this trip!!

I can use a Tonga Toast at Kona Cafe breakfast right about now.

Congrat on all ADR!

 

[MyMuse]

Congrats on your ADRs! THey look cool.

I'm looking forward to Kona Cafe too. Since I'm off-site, I'm going to make ADRs daily....

A friend of mine staying on-site included me on her Candlelight Processional and settled for Garden Grill instead of her #1 choice, Le Cellier. They are pretty hard to get, methinks.

I'm super-excited for CP... can't wait!!

I've been to the ICE Exhibit and it's great. Just be careful of the camera if you bring one. My lens didn't like the coldness. Definitely wear jeans or change into jeans because it is super-duper cold in there.

Thanks I'm really excited about them!!

Yay for CP!! And yeah, Le Cellier is next to impossible to get for CP I think.

Glad to hear about the good review on ICE. I'm really excited for that as well! thanks for the tip on the camera. I'll probably just take my point and shoot in there instead of my DSLR.

Congrats on the ADRs!

Thanks girl!

 

[cherbear]

I'm SO proud and excited!! Great job on ADR's Carla!!

I really really hope you both LOVE Le Cellier!!!!

My lens in my point & shoot fogged up; but it still took great pics. I have a review of ICE and pictures in my current PTR.

We are good with no getting Le Cellier, save some bucks, but I do hope that the Illuminations viewing spots are good as well. We'll see!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Congrats!!! Le Cellier was hard to get for a regular res, let alone for CP...so that's understandable! At least you get to eat there at all! LTT is sooo good too! Just like Thanksgiving revisited!!!! YUMMMMMMMM!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I KNEW you couldn't NOT go to LTT! Stinks you don't get the characters anymore though.

Don't get the cheese soup. That's all I'm sayin'...

ADRs look good, you are the queen!

 

[Leger13]

I'm SO proud and excited!! Great job on ADR's Carla!!

I really really hope you both LOVE Le Cellier!!!!

hehe thanks Cheri! I learned from the best for sure!

I have a feeling we will if it's as good as you and Mike keep saying it is. I can't wait!!

Oh really? Hmmmmm, well, I guess if it foggs then there's nothing I can do about that. I just know I don't want the condensation in my DSLR to ruin my lense and shutter so I'm not taking it in there. I'll have to check out your ptr. Not sure why I haven't yet. Sorry about that.

That's true you do save some $ not going to Le Cellier. I was wondering where the preferred Illuminations seats were gonna be too. I just can't see where they would put those. The best place so far that I've seen Illuminations from was from one of the cruises. I guess we'll find out when the time comes.

Thanks girl! You're right, Le Cellier is hard to get even for a regular ADR let alone CP but I had to try. We love LTT too. We go every single year. Great description of the food. I couldn't of said it better myself!

It's a must do every year for us. I'm just surprised that Chris said no to Sci Fi this year. No biggie though. I'm sad about the characters at LTT too but at least the food is still good.

noted * no cheese soup *

Thanks girl!

Carla, Do NOT listen to Nikki. Pay OOP for the cheddar cheese soup (it's an appetizer so not included on the DDP )

well, I don't like cheese all that much so not sure how much I would like that soup. And if Chris eats it we will be running for a potty not that long after he eats it (he's slightly lactose intolerant so if he has a lot of cheese it is not a good thing.). I'll just have to take everyone's word for it on the soup.
