wdwgirl and Dad do Disney:an April '10 PTR...TR LINK ADDED!! p. 56

[OhMari]

I'm excited to finally get to eat at Tony's again.

haha, I know! I applied last week so hopefully I'll be getting a card in the mail soon...

I should apply. Mine is in my dh name.

Welcome back! I am feeling better...I suppose. LOL! There was one day where I felt absolutely horrible and just had a cold for a couple days. It went away but now it's coming back! Grrrrr. As long as I don't get swine flu...I'm trying to take that Airborne junk/Alka Seltzer Plus so hopefully it won't get any worse!

I heard it comes back too with a sinus and ear infection.

The teachers I work with get 2 weeks of sick pay.
I get 2, because I'm told I don't work or am around the kids, even though I am in the same building.

Hope you feel better.

Your current itinerary looks cool. I hope you love Kidani as much as we do! It is so easy to just get caught upp with things to do over there.

So, about Tony's, are yall planning to do 2 ADRs or will you be keeping just one of them? No flames, just curious.

Ahhhhh, don't say that! Right now I've just got a stuffy nose but it's so annoying.

We loved AKL the last time we were there so I'm sure we'll enjoy Kidani Village too.

Oh no, we'll just do one night at Tony's. We'll end up cancelling one of them.

 

[tinkgurl]

Oh awesome, the Animal Kingdom tour sounds cool! Will you be allowed to take pictures?

As for which night to do Tony's..are either of those nights MK evening EMH nights or anything? You know I love to eat at that place!

So who's on your Visa card?!

 

[Angies1274]

I'm back and I'm finally all caught up!! Loving your PTR!! I definitely agree that April is a beautiful time to go! We have went twice over Spring Break and it's always been doable!! Great price on the airlines. We had originally hoped to go in April next year but I can't find decent airline prices for when we can go...we may have to wait until June instead.

Loved your Top Ten Attractions List and Top Ten Disney Songs!!! I think you covered all my favorite attractions...well with the exception of TOT which I haven't got the nerve to ride yet. The Ever Ever After Song from Enchanted....I love it!! It is such a happy song. I don't know if I could make a top ten list of Disney songs...I have sooooo many favorites!!

Yay!! for your Tony's ADR!! We haven't been there yet. But I would love to give it a try. As you can tell from my Avatar, Lady and the Tramp is one of my all time favorite Disney movies!!

Can't wait for more!!!

I don't know if we'll be able to take pictures. That would be cool but it wouldn't surprise me if we can't.

I just checked and there are no EMH on either of the nights we have the Tony's reservation. But I know there's Spectromagic/Wishes both nights.

I ended up getting the Tinkerbell card too! Now I've got to buy something so I get my gift card.

Yeah, it's usually busy over spring break but I think Christmas is a LOT worse.

Oh, Tower of Terror is not that bad. It took me forever to get up the nerve to ride and now it's so much fun. There are a lot of really good Disney songs...it is hard to choose!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

yay for your credit card!! Mine is tinkerbell as well I still have my gift card but it says it expires in Dec so I need to check and see if they will be sending me a new one or if I will be able to use it till Jan.

I'm not sure if you are allowed pictures on the tour on Keys you for sure are not bc you are in the tunnel and well no one is allowed pics in the tunnel. You will get a water bottle/mug type thing for while you are walking!!

 

[DreamingPink]

I am joining also. I am getting addicted to reading threads!!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Congrats on the VISA, I guess you have a big girl job eh? It sucks I can't get a Disney VISA here in Canada. My guess is you wouldn't be allowed to take pictures of the tour, but it does sound interesting.

I can't remember if I've read any reviews you had of Tony's? I've heard mixed things about it and so far the bad things have kept me from considering an ADR.

How did I know you'd have a Tinkerbell one too?

Yeah, I have a feeling it's probably the same on the safari tour but who knows.

haha, I guess they consider me responsible enough to have another credit card despite my lack of a "real" job. That does stink you can't get them in Canada.

It always seems like all the places we try get mixed reviews. Like before we ate at Mama Melrose's there were some pretty bad reviews. We thought it was fine. Guess we're not as picky as some people are.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Well, not like it was any surprise it was going to be going on while we're there but I saw they released the official dates for the Flower and Garden Festival!

The festival will run MARCH 3 - MAY 16, 2010. Seems like it ends a little earlier than it has in the past. I wonder what the theme will be...

When we were there last May the F&GF was going on and it was so neat seeing all the flowers and topiaries. I'll leave you with a few pictures!

Donald and Daisy playing volleyball, my favorite sport!!

They actually extended the Flower and Garden Show the last 2 years.
It used to be done by April 20.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Love these pictures! Can I ask everyone's opinion on the crowds and cost of going to WDW during March? After December 2010, I would love to go again in March of 2012 once Fantasyland is done. How does March compare to August?

 

[wisblue]

Yeah, I have a feeling it's probably the same on the safari tour but who knows.

Pictures are not allowed on the Backstage Safari Tour.

 

[tinkgurl]

Ahhhhh...I'm so excited for the Flower and Garden Festival!! It's my first time!

 

[RachelNinja]

Your Flower and Garden Festival pics are so so so good! I've been lurking on the photography board for the past few days because it's interesting to see the different perspectives for the pictures of the same ol' spots. I really likes yours! I like that you zoomed in some or you didn't take them from the front like everyone else would. Good job! Haha, my picture taking skills need work so I hope to take good ones when I'm there!

Ohhh really? Shows how much I know!

Glad you like the pictures.

What time of March are you thinking about going? I wouldn't think it would be too bad unless there are early spring breaks. As far as weather goes, I would definitely say March is better than August. It's warm and you don't have to worry about hurricanes. Sorry, I probably didn't help much.

Pictures are not allowed on the Backstage Safari Tour.

I kind of figured.

YAY!! You'll love it.

LOL, thanks! I was trying to make them a little more interesting. I'm not the world's greatest photographer but I'm learning!

Well I guess I'm getting way ahead of myself. I was just thinking the F&G Festival would be a great time to go. We've done four August trips now so I'd like to try different times without too much interruption to the kids school schedules. But hey... I've got a few years to plan that out.

Yeah, I hear ya on that. When we were younger we'd always go in Jan. or whatever but once my sisters and I got older my parents didn't like taking us out of school. We've been lucky now to get to go during so many different times of the year. I think the only months we've never been now are June, July, September, and November!

 

[wdwgirl03]

GOOD NEWS!!!

1.) Less than 5 months until our trip

2.) I got a long-term subbing job!!!! No more early morning phone calls for a few months!

Just wanted to share. I'm going to make another Top Ten list soon!
