Did I miss something?

WOO HOO

to WDW being back on!! You guys are going to have such a blast, can't wait to here about more planning!!
Hi, Jess! You are just in time to help me celebrate the change in plans!!!
Loving the plans! I'm not sure I could pick between beaches and cream and the tea.
Girly lady fun or ice cream....it's like which do you like better, apples or oranges!
Clearwater is only about an hour away too for some lovely beach....I've done that trip combo and it was fabulous.
Thanks, Cynthia! I know -- choosing between the two is going to be tough. Now, if we were staying at the Beach Club, it would be much easier to fit both in, but it's hard to justify paying $400 more to stay there. At any rate, I think I might try to fit both in, but I don't know if we will be able to do so. I guess I will just have to plan another trip.
Add me to that club. In fact I am still trying to figure out how to do it but with my work schedule and going in Sept and Oct I figure I just have to wait and pray it is extended.
I really hope it is extended. I know there are a lot of diehard Spectro fans around, but I was thinking, has
Disneyland ever had Spectro? Maybe they could borrow it for the new opening of California Adventure, and we could keep the MSEP for a couple of years.
Yay! I am so glad that you guys are getting to go to Disney!

Your plans look great too-it'll be a blast!
Thanks! I am so much more excited now about our summer vacation.
I vote for either GF tea so you can have special mom/ 13 yo daughter time OR let the birthday girl decide.
I think I might just wait and see what the boys are feeling up to that day -- if they just want to hang out at the resort and catch up on Phineas and Ferb episodes, Chelsea and I will head to the Grand Floridian.
Ok so Thursday night (this is the 22nd if I'm figuring right) Chris and I will most definitely be in Epcot, hopefully tinkgurl and family will be as well. Chris and I have dinner reservations at Biergarten (I forget what time). If you're there we can try and meet up then. Or, Friday we have breakfast reservations at 'Ohana so we should be over in the MK that morning after that. How do either of those sound for you?
Both of those sound like good possibilities. I was also noticing over on the July thread that you have a lunch ressie at Primetime. We do, too. We could maybe meet up there, too. We will need to exchange cell phone numbers so we can coordinate everything.
the schedule looks great! i always think wednesdays at MK are good b/c for some reason that day is always the least busy. i think people tend to head to MK at the beginning of their vacations (sunday/monday) or the end (friday/saturday), so the middle of the week is always good. the two times i've been on a wednesday it was DEAD. but of course that was in late april/early may! so i'm sure july is slightly different.

if you decide on getting a kitchen sink i will be living vicariously through you. we were supposed to get one with anna, etc. in december 2008 but the wait was really long to get in so we didn't get to. i've had that on my mind since!!!
Thanks, Dawn! I am hoping the Magic Kingdom is pretty quiet on Wednesdays in July, too!
I really think it would be fun for us to get one. We may not feel like doing anything afterwards, but what a great set of pictures that would be.
Your plans look GREAT! All seems right in the world now that you are going back to Disney!

I don't blame Charles for having a tough choice b/w Teppan Edo and Tutto. I figure this way Chelsea gets the cute waiter advantage for her b-day... is she too young for that?

If so then mom can indulge in the cute waiter goodness!
Thanks, Christine! Oh, no, Chelsea is not too young to appreciate the cute waiters. She is a bit boy crazy these days.
Oh the cheddar cheese soup! I just learned on another report that you can get the soup and pretzel bread to go... who knew??
Oh, that's some valuable info. right there!
Looking forward to hearing more of your plans in this compressed planning period!
Of course, we still have six and a half weeks, so I can do a lot of planning in that amount of time.
How wise you were not to cancel those ADRs!

Somewhere in your heart you must've known you'd make it!
Kathy
I knew I would kick myself if I canceled those reservations too soon, and then, decided we should go. We wouldn't have been able to get Le Cellier again, that's for sure!
Your ADRs are AWESOME!!

I can not wait to read your review of Le Cellier! I am just dying to try the cheese soup! So much hype for cheese soup and bread

I am so thrilled you are going to WDW!
Thank you! We are very excited about Le Cellier. I already know I want the soup, the salmon, and the mousse. (I am just not a big steak eater, but Chelsea and Charles love their red meat.)
