So dummy me is on the phone with Disney Dine...I realized I booked Eric and I at AKL the night before our 8:10 adr at the MK. I told him if we are gonna pay extra to stay there one night, I am sleeping in a bit and enjoying the resort!! I doubt I will get CRT again....we'll see!


ETA: I got another date!! OMG I can't believe how much is open for CRT! We are now going at 9:35 on the 10th. Eric and I get to sleep in a bit and enjoy AKL!

We are going Feb8-13. Staying at BWV. I am so excited..but DH was not. He has been hot and cold about the whole thing..which is why I have been quite about it. Finally I have made the flight reservations so it feels more real. (kids too) So I have to start planning. Only made one ADR...and of course it is for CP lol

Awww didn't he have fun last time? I'm so jealous you are staying at BWV. That is where I would like to buy if I can convince dbf of DVC!

I have been going back and forth on the restaurant for our anniversary.

Reviews say Citricos is better for adults only...and Narcoosees for families. But then I heard Narcoosees has amazing cheesecake (Dbfs fav!)


Oh and I just found roundtrip airfare from JetBlue for $182 R/T EACH!!! Not sure we can afford it yet...

ETA: We bought our airfare!! I couldn't resist $182 each for direct flights!

 

[KBaum]

$182 for R/T airfare! Amazing! Also ....

AKL? SAVANNAH VIEW? Man. That's INCREDIBLE, especially when we're all on super tight budgets. I'm so excited for you! It's going to be BEAUTIFUL.

 

[wirki]

Wow..$182 round trip. That is amazing!! That is very exciting

I have not been to either place..but I do have friends that have been to Narcoosees and loved it. They did not have the kids with them. What about Jinko. You will be right there.

DH had a great time. He is the one with the level head and I am the one that thinks that when we need the money it will show up. He was just trying to be senseable. (most of the time I love him for it...just not when it comes to disney )

I thought about Jiko, but Eric is PICKY and he has his heart set on walking on the beach after dinner, lol.

Here are a few more pics I just got from our photo session.

 

[Raecheal]

You both look amazing in your photos. Walking the beach eh? hmm... sounds kinda sneaky to me... heheh (maybe you will be engaged sooner than you think)

Lol that's what everyone keeps saying but he has always said I will have NO idea when he's going to do it. I don't anticpate it being at an expected moment (i.e. Christmas,Valentines, our trip...)

Thanks though I love our pictures!

 

[MainStMandy]

No real update, just bumping myself. Eric talks about Disney everyday and we are down to only 136 days!!!

I leave on Sunday for California to train and will be gone for a week...ending in DISNEYLAND! Only for a day but I convinced my mom to come with, so I am just tickled.

Then I'm home for week...then off to Wisconsin...then home a week...then off to Minnesota. PHEEWWWW, then I'm done. Eric and I are hoping to move sometime in March or April and June will be here before we know it!!

I found the most perfect dress for our anniversary dinner. It's really exactly what I was looking for. The pics are a bit dark, but it's a really pretty coral color...I'm going back to buy the black too! It was only $19.99 and it's the perfect length!!

The top, kinda low cut

The back, it's a really pretty kinda twist.

The full length dress.

 

[wirki]

That is going to look amazing on you!!

 

[MainStMandy]

That is going to look amazing on you!!

Thank you so much! I am so excited

In the next Kingdom, there lived another Princess (possible not so high-maintenance). Princess Lauren also dreamed of returning Disney, but ALSO had a frugal (but kind and handsome) Prince. 7 nights for the price of 4? Plus seeing the look on his princess's face was too much for Prince Patrick.

The Cast:

Princess Amanda aka MainStMandy- Proud former CM and OCD-Planner extrodinaire. Just turned 29 (and hating it!) I've been to Disney more times than I can count.

Prince Eric aka PlayStationGeek-Has been to Disney ONCE, probably was about 8 years old. I think they just went to MK for a few hours. Is beyond excited about this trip and is letting me do ALL the planning!

Princess Lauren aka PhotoGuru- One of my dearest friends, who is also a professional photographer. She loves Disney and has only been once I think (last August for her and her hubby's first anniverary).

Prince Patrick aka Petrick the Easy Going- Pat is...well just along for the ride. Is excited to eat and make Lauren happy, lol. One of the most easy going guys I have ever met! Is the only NON-drinker in the group (history of alcoholism in his family I think

Both Eric and Pat work nights so getting them to adjust their sleep schedule should be interesting.

The plans:
Well since hours haven't come out yet we are planning based on Touring Plans crowd calculator.

Oh and Lauren and Pat arrive a few days after us and stay a few days later. They are driving

Saturday 6/6- We arrive and...it's Eric's BIRTHDAY! He doesn't know it but we are going to ESPN club for his birthday dinner. I don't know when we will arrive so I have nothing else planned

Sunday 6/7- AK and dinner at Wolfgangs. Lauren hated it there so she asked that we go before they get there

Monday 6/8- Water Park maybe with dinner at Boatrights and mini-golf

Tuesday 6/9- Lauren and Pat arrive! Taking Eric to WWOS for the NFL experience (birthday present). Eating around the world at EPCOT

Wed 6/10- Magic Kingdom daytime with dinner at Raglan Road and Disney Quest. Eric is a HUGE video game geek!

Thur 6/11- This is the anniversary of our first date We are having dinner at either Citricos, Narcoosees or Cali Grille (I can't decide!) and not sure about what we are doing during the day

Fri 6/12- This morning Lauren and I are going to have breakfast at CRT!! We are sending the boys to Golf. Eric LOVES LOVES LOVES golf but has a degenerative eye condition and has trouble seeing the ball sometimes. Pat isn't a huge golfer but is going to play with him. Not sure about the rest of the day but dinner at Le Cellier

Sat 6/13- Eric is kinda excited about Star Wars Weekend so we may tackle this for a bit. Don't know about dinner.

Sun 6/14-Boma Breakfast, AK. Not sure about the afternoon or evening

Mon 6/15- Maybe water park, dinner at 'Ohana and fireworks at MK

Tue 6/16- Going home

Hey! I'm the PhotoGuru Yay for our trip!!!
