[All7OfUs]

I guess you're sleeping right now, having sweet dreams of time with the guys!! Have a great flight, fabulous time, may your team have good luck on the field, and may your hangover not last too long!

Tim-
Just realized that we will be there at the same time as you in March. We're leaving Wisconsin on March 5th, driving down. Staying with MIL & FIL in Lakeland for most of it, but we are burning off some unused DVC points on March 7th at Animal Kingdom. We're still in preliminary planning so we don't know when we will be in the parks, but if it works out we should get together for a Dole Whip. Heck, after reading your current TR and skimming this thread I already feel like I'm part of the family!

Thanks for resurrecting this thread! LOL I've been trying to finish up my TR before I came back here. So much for multi-tasking.

That sounds great! We should meet up for a Dole Whip or a beer even! I have my days pretty much planned out.. I might of already posted them here. Geez... it's my TR and I don't even know. Now I have to go look!

Barry- I found my schedule. I think my park days are set in stone because they are set around my ADR, or are my ADRs set around my park days? Well whatever I did, here is the schedule:

I've come up with a tentative schedule, by myself, for March. DW and our friends, who are actually here in CT right now, have given me no input. So I'll be the one up at 3am tonight making these ADRs. With my luck the website will crash and I won't be able to make 'em. So here is my idea:

Wednesday-Saturday 3/3-3/6- We will be in Bradenton, FL visiting with Melody's grandparents

Saturday 3/6- We leave Bradenton around 12 and drive to the house (about a 2 hour drive). Get situated, hit the grocery store, cook dinner, relax

Sunday 3/7- Have breakfast & dinner at the house Go to DHS

Monday 3/8- Breakfast at the house; MK for Wishes and hopefully Spectro

Tuesday 3/9- Breakfast at the house; AK; Try to get CM ADR for 5-7pm

Wednesday 3/10 DAY OFF; maybe goto Kona for breakfast if our friends want to go. DTD at night?

Thursday 3/11 Juliana's Birthday Breakfast at the house; MK; BBB for the kids; Try to get 1900 Park Fair ADR 4:30-6:30 Wishes hopefully

Friday 3/12 I have no plans for this day as of now

Saturday 3/13 Breakfast at the house maybe Dinner too. Epcot Try to get Akershus Lunch for 12-2

Sunday 3/14 Breakfast at the house; check out.. then ? not sure what is going to happen; Check into a Disney hotel Thinking a moderate.. with AP it is $89. I might try to get an ADR at 'Ohana for dinner.

Monday 3/15 One more park

Tuesday 3/16 Kona Breakfast maybe? Hang out at the hotel Swim get ready to go to MCO

Well there it is. I only have a few open days and I really don't like having to plan out our whole week for our friends, but you know the drill. I can't go down there with no plan and expect to get any ADR's. With only having 3 ADRs to book while our friends are there, I needed to put together some kind of plan. Let me know what you think. 3AM is going to come quick!

I just realized we will be in FL for 2 weeks!!!!!!!! LOL

 

[FreezinRafiki]

That sounds great. I'll take this back to the planning commission for consideration.

2 weeks in Florida. Been there, done that, REALLY want to do it again!

And what moderate would that be that you are thinking of getting????

I was wondering that same exact thing. Go to POR and let me know how it is...

 

[KatMark]

I was thinking he was going to want to go back to our beloved CSR.

 

[All7OfUs]

He's not around, so we can just hijack away tonight (today your time) Maybe he's going to CBR, to try something new-I can picture him doing the Calypso thing over there.

Well, if the King of Disney (for that is what he has become) wants my advice and wants to try something new other than the CSR again, I would pick in this order: POFQ, POR and CBR last.

And I'm not liking his "hiding" out lately.

Now, when is your trip? I forgot (old age is catching up to me along with all that's been going on in our house).

 

[All7OfUs]

I'd go POR, POFQ, CSR, CBR- that order. All comes down to the theming for me. Frankly, that clown thingy creeps me out.

HA! I'm not going until Sept, which may as well be like in forever!!! Glad Tim's going again, to keep up well stocked with interim entertainment.

And yeah, he's hiding out way too much!

I like the food court at POR better than the food court at CSR (although I prefer CSR's over POFQ and CBR); the pool is too small at POFQ and as two travelling adults--the theme of the rooms at CBR are a complete turn off to us. We like our queen beds at the CSR and I like having the spa there.

Watch out...Tim is lurking on his other thread.

Kathy & Liesa-

Tim, we can squeeze you in at around 11. Does that work for you?

Liesa and I were just missing you, that's all.

 

[All7OfUs]
