Yum!! Looks like you have some fun places chosen to eat. LeCellier and 'Ohana stick out to me as I really want to try both of them someday. How many are new places this year Lesley?

They are the best. Great question on the new ones, I haven't been to Tuttio Italia since it has been under new management/menu and Biergarten is new to all of us (except Tim) this year too. Other than that we're sticking to oldie's but goodies : )

Check out this thread, it appears their Give a Day Get a Disney Day promotion is already at CAPACITY! It is only MARCH!!! How can they have a promotion like this and shut it down in the beginning of March!?!

Just found your PTR...didn't know you started one... Can't wait for another one of your TRs...great plans so far!

 

[Trentmom]

WOW... Can't believe they are almost at a million.

I would think if you are already registered on their website, you would be fine.

But good idea to double check

 

[Charleston Princess]

Once you are registered, you are fine on the GAD. Don't stress, Lesley!

 

[IluvXU]

I think being in their system should secure you good luck

 

[dddisrunner]

I hope it all works out for you tomorrow! I can't wait to hear how it goes!!

 

[Native NYer]

Can't wait to read about your GAD experience. Hope it goes well for you.

Hi Lesley-
Thank you for that link about the GAD. I have been looking for weeks for something my husband could do, but couldn't find any. I was sent into a panic after reading that tread. I did find a project Linus he could do and signed him up today and recieved a confirmation email also. I typed in 99999 for the zipcode and that is what came up. I have to mail the blanket and a photo of us making the blanket by April 1st. If your project falls through I would try this one.

You're welcome, glad you found something just in the nick of time!

I'll post a lot about it this weekend.

I hope it all works out for you tomorrow! I can't wait to hear how it goes!!

Thanks Diane!

I can't believe it either, hoping they extend it. Yeah, I emailed our contact and we are good to go.

Welcome back!!!

Hi Lesley! My sons and I will be at the world the same timeframe as your family. We'll be there from 6/17-6/27, staying at POFQ. Like y'all, we're totally looking forward to it, all except the heat, that is. We prefer early Spring or Fall, but my youngest son has been complaining that we have yet to celebrate his birthday in Disney, so we're going to do that this year. He's a June baby, so we'll suffer the heat for him. Maybe we'll see you guys there!

Hi Lesley!

I can't believe I didn't think to look for another PTR for your family... But I'm excited to read along now!

First off, the snow pics are great! How fun to be able to play in the snow with your family. And your parents' magic moment was fantastic! I just love those little things that Disney does to make your vacation special. Congrats on saving $600 by switching to the DDP! That's huge! And all of your choices still sound great. Kona ended up being my favorite Disney meal ever. My DH and I loved it. And Boma breakfast--YUM!

I hope that the Give a Day-Get a Day promo is still in effect. That's so frustrating that they're already going to end it!

I'm excited to read along--as always, thanks for sharing!!

Very cool, we love POFQ, great resort! The only time suffering in Florida heat is worth it is for Disney

Stay tuned
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

[heaven2dc]

Oh no - food poisoning is not good!! Hope you are all feeling better now Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead - we will be patient for an update

 

[lmillercrew]

Eeewww! Food poisoning! I'm SO sorry to hear that! That stuff can be nasty and scary! Hope everyone is feeling better!!!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Oh no, food poisoning. Bless your hearts! How awful. I hope everyone is on the mend.

I started listening to the podcast a few weeks ago and heard this week I believe it was where your crew sent Girl Scout cookies. How very nice of you!

Have a great weekend with your family!

At least you were not sick with food poisoning while at WDW, like I was on our last trip!! The food that got me sick was not from Disney, but from Quiznos the night before. I woke up the morning of our trip VERY SICK!!! It lasted about 9 days, but still enjoyed WDW the best way possible.
