Thank you all for the anniversary wishes.
21 years ago today!
Wow we do alot of celebrating around here !
I guess I'm kinda celebrating too. Monday was our 180 + 10 day mark & I finalized our ADR's today.
We are sitdown dining at:
Be Our Guest
Cinderella's Royal Table
Tusker House
'Ohana
1900 Park Fare
Sci-Fi & Dine
Coral Reef
Crystal Palace
And we still have plenty of time left over to walk around the World Showcase & experience the offerings at the Food & Wine Festival!
With bringing my friend, Wendy, ( a Disney 1st timer), I really wanted to take her to some special dining experiences. I am very grateful & excited to get the reservations we did and the times are perfect.
I just wish we didn't have to wait so long.

Around 6, we'll walk over to the MK and play around a while -- maybe do a round trip ride on the train or let the kids try the Sorcerers of the MK game. We have reservations for the TT Dessert Party! So we will start our vacation with fireworks and Tinkerbell!!!!!
Stay for Fantasmic.
Morning, Groupies!
I am getting so excited, I think I might explode! To take the edge off, I am going to share with you our new and improved itinerary! (My family is more of the "let's just do it when we're there" type -- so you guys are going to stand in as "excited family.")
*** For those of you who are really gung ho (like me) keep in mind that I'm trying to keep the pace relaxed for my husband, who is the opposite of gung ho!
Friday -- we'll arrive at the Contemporary around 2 pm. This is a surprise to everyone (although I think they've figured it out.) We will swim and relax. We'll have sandwiches in the cooler that we'll eat for our supper. Not as fun as eating out, but who cares -- we're at Disney!
Saturday -- Wake up whenever. Go over to the MK for some things that don't require rope drop. Tom Sawyer Island, Country Bears, Swiss Family Treehouse, Hall of Presidents.... that sort of thing. We will enjoy moseying around until we can check in at VWL!!!!!!! Saturday night will be spent getting to know the lay of the land at our home away from home.
Sunday -- Be at Epcot before ropedrop. Spend the morning in Future World. Return to the lodge for lunch in the room. Swim. Go back to Epcot around 4:00 for World Showcase. Reservations at Rose and Crown -- Illuminations!
Monday -- Spend the morning at Blizzard Beach -- pack a lunch and picnic there. Early afternoon, return to the lodge. Rest up. In the evening, either play mini golf or go to AKL to explore.
Tuesday -- Ropedrop at MK -- pack a picnic lunch. Return to VWL around 1 or 2. Nap. Swim. Return to MK in the evening for the EL parade and a couple of night time rides. Hear that the peoplemover is cool in the evening. Haunted Mansion would be mega fun at night!
Wednesday -- our day off. Sleep in. Roll out of bed whenever. Have a golf cart reserved at FW. We can play around there whenever we feel like it. Breakfast and lunch in our room. Reservations for the early showing of Hoop Dee Doo! Plan to ride our cart around FW in the early evening so we can be jealous of all the fabulous RVs!
Thursday -- Our Anniversary! EMH morning at MK. Lunch at Be Our Guest. Do whatever we haven't done at MK, since it's our last day there. We should be done around 2 or so. Return to VWL. Swim? We are thinking we might just get some fun food from the Territory Lounge -- the drunken donuts sound wonderful! Thought we would relax on the beach and let the kids dig in the sand.
Friday -- Hollywood Studios. Bring a lunch. After 1:20 stunt show, return to VWL for a little break. Go back to DHS around 4:30 -- we have reservations for dinner at Sci Fi Dine-in Theater. (Have read some bad reviews on the food. Any foolproof suggestions?) Either way, kids will love the experience and they don't really eat anything anyway!
Saturday -- what do we want to do before we check out? Head for home after check-out. Weep all 7 hours driving home!
And that is our week. Anyone want to be excited with me? I wish we could eat out more, but our budget won't allow it. We are having a yard sale and doing some housesitting this summer. I'm helping a friend who has some physical limitations with some heavy-duty landscaping. If I earn enough extra money this way, we could squeak in some more eating out!
I am getting so excited!

I'm so excited for you. You've got some good park time with a balanced level of comando & meandering time planned. I love the down times at the resort. Renting a GC @ FW was so fun when we did it so I highly recommend it. DH & I ate at Sci-Fi our last day of our Nov/Dec trip right before we headed to the airport. I got the regular hamburger combo & I thought it was really good.
Morning Groupies! I am having a fabulous Friday because I just realized that 2 weeks from tomorrow I will be headed to Alaska! Ahhhh! I am so excited I can't even stand it.
I should really start thinking about packing.
Me thinks you'd better get packin' 
rusafee -- you haven't packed yet????? Go, girl! Go!
I know you will be absolutely overwhelmed with all the beauty!
Here is something fun. Almost right across the street from me -- like I can see the film crew trailers and trucks from my porch -- they are filming Anchorman 2 with Will Farrell! Wouldn't it be fun to see him? So far, I've only seen crew and police. Very exciting for our little town!
I'm going out to mow the lawn now. Maybe if I wear jewels and sunglasses and heels while doing so, someone will "discover" me!
Sounds like you are very busy!! Alaska is fabulous. DH & I did Alaska on the Disney Dream in July 2011 for our 20th Anniversary. Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate. Scenery is simply Awestruck & gorgeous! Are you doing the cruise or just land?
2 weeks????
I don't see how that plan can fail!
They filmed a few movies in Pittsburgh over the past few years, but still every time I watch one and recognize places I'm like a screaming lunatic! "OMGOMGOMG! Look! I have been in that store!"
I'm such a nerd.
I think the most exciting one was 2 years ago when they were filming 'The Dark Knight Rises' literally on the street right outside my building at work downtown. I worked on the 14th floor, so we had a great view of everything that was going on and would all just huddle around and watch!
So excited! We are just doing a cruise this time, but I hear that the land/sea combo is the best! What ports did you do on the Dream?
We are leaving from Vancouver stopping in - Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway, Victoria, and then returning to Seattle.
Wishing lots of happy anniversary wishes to
Mr and Mrs Muushka !!!
Congrats you two !
