"We Ain't From Around Here!"-The South Does Disney! A Dec PTR Update 1/11-Prizes!

[ChildAtHeart82]

I think IASW is probably right, but I'll guess the Tea Cups so I at least have a chance!

 

[magickingdom]

hmm...how about Cinderella's Carrousel?

 

[therussells08]

We have a winner for round two! The correct answer was Snow White's Scary Adventures! Good job, Nermel9! Thank you everyone else who played!

Scoresheet
DisneyFirefly- 1
Nermel9- 1

I will be posting Round 3 sometime next Saturday so stay tuned! Next week's picture will probably come from another park, since we've had two from Magic Kingdom! Keep that hint in mind! Remember, we've got a lot more rounds before my trip, so it's still anybody's game!


You all had really great guesses this week! I tried to pick one that was a little harder. Next week will probably be pretty simple, so try to be the first one to catch it! Thanks again for playing everyone! I will be back tomorrow to post an update! See ya then!

 

[therussells08]

It's definitely something from Fantasyland...I'm gonna guess Snow White's scary adventures?

Good job, girl!! And thanks again for the PM you sent me earlier. It made me feel a lot better! I've got your cell saved in my phone!

I'll guess Dumbo!!!

...I hope you feel better soon! When I had mine out back in high school, one of 2 of mine got infected so I had to go back and they had to open the stitches and clean the area and restitch it all while I was awake. They also gave me pain killers that made horribly sick so that had to be switched too. They did give me a relaxer shot so it was horrible but still! Keep the area clean is all I have to say lol. Thanks for my well wishes on the spider bite! Gotta love how the drugs they give you to make you better make you sick at the same time..figures!

Good guess! This one was a tricky one!

Thank you so much! I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with yours! My surgery actually went really smoothly. It probably took less than 2 minutes and I didn't feel a thing. But I'm feeling it now! You're welcome! I still can't believe you got a staph infection! That must be so painful. I hope it finished healing really quickly so you focus all your energy on planning for your rapidly approaching trip!

I am guessing It's A Small World

Good guess, girl! I figured a lot of people would guess IASW. I'm getting ready to go read your update right now. I can't wait!

I think IASW is probably right, but I'll guess the Tea Cups so I at least have a chance!

That was a really good guess, too! Thanks for playing!

hmm...how about Cinderella's Carrousel?

Another good guess! You guys all guessed within Fantasyland so you were all on the right track! Thanks for playing!

 

[shelbys mommy]

Of course! One of the rides I have never done!

 

[therussells08]

Of course! One of the rides I have never done!

Don't worry, the one for next week is DEFINITELY one you've ridden!

 

[shelbys mommy]

Don't worry, the one for next week is DEFINITELY one you've ridden!

Yay! Maybe I'll finally get a point!

Your title in your siggy caught my attention when I was reading another TR. So here I am.

Hello Joni, I'm ChiChi and I'm going to school to be a teacher. (I just love how I'm "meeting" all these teachers here on the boards.) I hope over the next few months while you count down your trip I hope to make a few more DISfriends. The season finale of Grey's Anatomy was jaw dropping!

Could I add you on FB too? I love chatting with other Disney lovers. I love Full House and Friends, it never gets old.

Oh my goodness, your puppies are so CUTE!

My boyfriend and I have our own "first ride" its also at the Studios only ours is RockinRoller Coaster. I am loving seeing your pics from 2007 cause so many things have changed since then.

@ your reaction on Dinosaur, I pretty much have the same reaction every time and everytime my boyfriend laughs at my reaction.

You are going to love PhilharMagic and Laugh Floor Comedy!!

I also agree with you and Ninja on not seeing your loved one often it makes the relationship stronger. Granted, I've only had to deal with it for 2 weeks so far and we don't know when we'll get to see each other again but we do feel our relationship growing stronger. Now I really believe absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Sorry to hear that your cousin and his girlfriend can't make it but congrats to them on buying their first house. I like that you kept "South" in your title because I'm a Southern girl too

Happy belated Anniversary! I LOVE your wedding colors. Your wedding pictures are beautiful.

I wish I could have went and saw Eclipse at midnight. Eclipse is my favorite book. Have you read "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner?" It's so good. I'm split between Team Edward and Team Jacob. They both have their good qualities. So I guess you can say I'm Team Bella.

Your ADRs look fantastic. I feel bad saying this but I haven't ate at a lot of the places on your list. I really want to try Kona Cafe and Le Cellier though. Have fun at WWoHP! I saw this video on YT, the girl gave an in depth review of the park. I really want to check it out but I'm gonna wait til my boyfriend is here.

The Waiting Game sounds like a lot of fun and I haven't seen anything like it.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather but really good you ended up paying less than expected.

The time has come, my friends! We are officially less than 180 days away from our trip, which means yesterday was ADR DAY!!

Forgive me for not posting these yesterday, but I was preoccupied by my Twilight obsession. I spent most of the day with my mom, sister (sassyfrass), and best friend doing Twilight related activities, and then I went to the 12:01 showing of Eclipse. And can I just say, it did not disappoint! Don't get me wrong, I still think the books are way better than the movies, but this was the best movie so far! TEAM JACOB! Sorry, I know...

I admit I am a fan of the books. Not so much of the movies though, but I think it's because when I read the books, I was Team Edward, and after the movies I am Team Jacob. LOL. I did end up seeing Eclipse because it was my favorite book.

Okay okay, enough of that. Let's get back to the important business at hand. I'd like to begin my ADR list with one of my favorite Disney quotes:

"Ratatouille doesn't sound delicious. It sounds like "rat" and "patootie." Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious."

Haha, I love that quote! Ratatouille was not my favorite Disney movie but it has it's moments.

Oh, and one more thing: I am going to put a * symbol next to the name of every restaurant that we have never eaten at before. We are trying some new things this year, and we're really excited about it!

ADRs!

Sunday, December 26: Liberty Tree Tavern* at Magic Kingdom- 6:55pm
This will be our arrival day. Originally we were not going to do a park this day, but since it's just DH and I going now we will get there a lot earlier so we will be able to go to MK for the EMH that night! I chose Liberty Tree Tavern because it is "comfort food" and I feel like it will be a good Christmasey meal.

Monday, December 27: 50s Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios- 7:10pm
I usually go to HS first thing when I get to WDW, but this year we decided to spend our first full day there. It will be weird not riding ToT right away, but it's okay. We loved this restaurant when we ate here on our Disneymoon, so we're really excited to go back. I almost did Sci Fi Dine in Theater, but we've been there a lot and I was trying to spice things up a little!

Tuesday, December 28: Le Cellier* at Epcot- 9:10pm
Let me just say, this baby was hard to get. We were originally going to go to Epcot on the 29th, but there were already no openings at Le Cellier that night! I have been dying to try this place ever since I've read all the reviews here on the boards so I was determined for a reservation. Finally I realized they had ONE available on the 28th, so I snatched it up!

Wednesday, December 29: NO ADRs
We are going to Universal this day for the Harry Potter park, so I am hoping to eat lunch at the Three Broomsticks!

Thursday, December 30: Kona Cafe* at the Polynesian Resort for breakfast-9:00am and T-Rex at Downtown Disney for dinner- 8:00pm
This is our "free day" so we wanted to spend most of it at DTD. However, I love the Polynesian resort (even though I've never even been there, I've just seen pictures on the boards) and DH and I are both dying to try Tonga Toast so we decided to try out Kona! We have been to T-Rex before and loved it. DH is a dinosaur fanatic, so we love the decor. This will be an OOP meal.

Friday, December 31: 'Ohana* at the Polynesian Resort- 9:05pm
I will explain this in more detail later when I do my day by day schedule plan, but we decided to go to Animal Kingdom on New Years Eve to try to avoid some crowds. We are going to do dinner at the Polynesian because I have heard such great things about 'Ohana.

Saturday, January 1: Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom for breakfast- 8:05am and Tony's Town Square for dinner- 7:00pm
This is our last full day and we are spending it at MK. It is also New Years! We are hoping that if we get there for an early breakfast we will be able to beat some of the sleepyheads who were out late the night before! We have eaten dinner at Crystal Palace before but never breakfast. I have heard really great reviews about it, though. We picked Tony's because I wanted to get at least one Italian meal while we were there. I have heard a lot of bad things about Tony's, but my only experience there was on our first trip and it was a great meal!

Sunday, January 2: No ADRs
We will have to head home pretty early on this morning, so we decided to just grab a breakfast at the Everything Pop! Food Court.

******

That's all, folks! I am really excited that I got everything I was hoping for. I will post a detailed day by day schedule later with our counter service picks. We've already decided how we want to use most of our snack credits, too!

Great ADR Choices! I too had a hard time scoring the Le Cellier ressie, and I couldn't even get dinner, only lunch! Nice choices! I am also curious about the Three Broomsticks at WWOHP!

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Oh no; I missed it again! I have a valid excuse, though! I was out going to various Hallmark stores looking for Disney ornaments!

Hope your mouth is feeling better!!!

 

[Nermel9]

OMG I can't believe I was right! I was convinced it was IASW, but I figured that was too obvious, so I went with Snow White! Yay!

 

[stephielela]

I wouldn't have gotten it, but I still wish I had logged in earlier! I will have to remember to get up earlier next week!

 

[amandatym]

I've been lurking but I'm subbing now so I can be sure not to miss the next round of the game!

 

[therussells08]

Yay! Maybe I'll finally get a point!

You will get one, don't worry! You've got plenty of time before my trip!

Sorry to hear that you are feeling under the weather but really good you ended up paying less than expected.

Thank you so much for joining in! I'm happy to have you here!

What are you planning to teach? How much longer do you have until you graduate? I think it's great that there are so many teachers here on the boards. I love meeting all of them!

I would love to be friends on FB! I will send you a PM with a link to my profile in just a minute! Yay! Another Full House fan!

Thank you for saying that about my puppies! They are my babies! They are spoiled rotten to say the least.

That's so neat that you and your BF have a "first ride" like John and me. I LOVE RnRC!! Even though ToT is our "first" ride, RnRC is probably my favorite. The way it starts is just crazy! It has me laughing the entire ride.

I'm glad you liked my Dinosaur pic! That ride never fails to scare me. And like your BF, John never fails to crack up at my reaction.

I'm sorry that you don't know when you will get to see your BF again! It definitely makes the heart grow fonder. I know it can be tough being separated, so if you need to talk I'm here!

I was pretty sad at first that my cousin and his GF couldn't make it, but now I have made the trip all about John and me so I feel a lot better. We are going to get to do all of our favorite things, just the two of us! That is always so nice.

Thank you for the anniversary wishes and for saying that about my wedding! You are so sweet!

Eclipse is my favorite book from the series too! I haven't read the Bree Tanner book yet, though. I am rereading Eclipse, so when I am finished with that I will read Bree Tanner. I am excited to read it though!

Don't feel bad, I haven't eaten at a lot of the places on my ADR list either! I can't wait to try Le Cellier! And the Tonga Toast at Kona is calling my name! I am sooo excited about WWoHP! I'm sure it's going to be really crowded, but I don't care. I have to go!

I'm glad you like The Waiting Game! There will be another Round next Saturday! I hope you'll play!

Thank you so much! I am feeling a little better today! I know that in the long run I will be so glad I went ahead and got it taken care of. And you're right, YAY for saving money!!

I admit I am a fan of the books. Not so much of the movies though, but I think it's because when I read the books, I was Team Edward, and after the movies I am Team Jacob. LOL. I did end up seeing Eclipse because it was my favorite book.

I think the movies have made a few people switch teams! What did you think of the movie?

Great ADR Choices! I too had a hard time scoring the Le Cellier ressie, and I couldn't even get dinner, only lunch! Nice choices! I am also curious about the Three Broomsticks at WWOHP!

I can't wait to try Le Cellier! I couldn't believe how booked it already was 180 days out! I guess that's a good sign! I'm looking forward to trying the Three Broomsticks. From what I hear, I think it is a counter service type restaurant.

Oh no; I missed it again! I have a valid excuse, though! I was out going to various Hallmark stores looking for Disney ornaments!

Hope your mouth is feeling better!!!

Oooh, did you get any Disney ornaments? I love Disney ornaments, especially the blown glass ones. One day I want to have my whole tree covered in nothing but those!

It is feeling a lot better, thanks! I still look like a chipmunk, but that's okay.

OMG I can't believe I was right! I was convinced it was IASW, but I figured that was too obvious, so I went with Snow White! Yay!

Good job! That was a really hard one, too!

I wouldn't have gotten it, but I still wish I had logged in earlier! I will have to remember to get up earlier next week!

I'm going to make next week's a little easier, so if you're the first one to see it you should be good to go!

Thank you so much for reading along!! Good luck with the next round!!

Your ADRs look tasty! I'd like to point out that you'll be at LeCellier on my wedding avvinersary, so that's a very good sign for you! There are so many of my faves listed there, so you are sure to have a wonderful week of food!

Thank you! Yay, that is a good sign about Le Cellier! I will eat something delicious in your honor for your anniversary! I'm glad you like my ADRs! I was a little nervous because I haven't eaten at many of them before, but it sounds like I picked some good ones!

 

[chunkymonkey]

Just wanted to mention I love your wedding pics. You guys are soooo cute. I love how happy you both look!!

Thank you so much! It was a wonderful day! And it was even better because we knew we got to go on our Disneymoon the next day!

 

[dancin_princess]

Just dropping by to see how you are feeling? My hunny was miserable for about a week when he had a tooth pulled. Hope you're doing well.
