waiting IMPATIENTLY....

Careful, Beth... We'll break out the gifs soon...

 

[Chicago Mo]

It's been long enough don't you think?

 

[Bethislucy]

lol, I'm so sorry chaos has ensued here at work. So many people decided now was a great time to buy a house. I will be back later today. I promise.

 

[Bethislucy]

Okay, once again sorry for the delay. It’s just been crazy at work and it’s easier for me to post updates here than at home. So as I said before we are going light on the ADR’s but there were a few we wanted & I’m happy to say we got them except 1. One we didn’t get that morning but last week I finally was able to snag it.


So, our plans are on black Friday we have a dinner ADR at T-rex. This is our arrival day but we are staying off site for the night. If everything goes right we should roll in to Orlando around 4:00 which gives us 2 hours to spare before our ADR at T-rex. We are hoping something will open up at Raglan Road and we can go there over T-rex. We are still on the fence about doing this ADR or just going to EOS and grabbing a sub. Which honestly may be what we do.


11/28 we have BOG lunch ADR


11/29 50’s prime time for lunch. I chose lunch because I want more time to wander around the Osborne lights and dinner ADR’s cut into that.


11/30 this is the one I didn’t get till last week and we have Dinner at Via Napoli.


12/1 Is our off day but we will have dinner at Ohana’s that night. This is become a traditional restaurant for us we love it.


12/2 BOG dinner which was the only thing E wanted everything else she was fine with.


So 50’s & Ohana’s are the only ADR’s we’ve done before so I’m excited to try some new places and towards the end of our week we are just going to hit up some CS meals and not do TS. This is also new for us. So not much of an update and not worth the wait at all but there you have it.

Yay! 50s prime time ADR--we love it there! I just took the kiddo I nanny and his friend. Our waiter was pretty good. They made a mess on the table trying to pour a drink into another cup and he called them problem children!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Congrats on getting BOG!!! All your ADR's sounds fantastic!!!!
Yes it was worth the wait!!!

 

[Elevationist]

ADRs look great! Ohana is a MUST DO for me, too!

 

[Bethislucy]

Thanks I'm excited and ready to make our fastpass+ reservations now Only 74 days for that.

Well we’ve had a little bit of change in plans for our off day. E & I had originally planned to go shopping and check out some of Orlando because we never leave Disney property. The plan now is that E’s sister & brother and law are going to make that an off day as well. L is 11 and very much into video games as well as his dad. So the new plan is we will take L & A Monday night they will spend the night with us (we are all staying at the same resort) and we spend the next morning with them doing something possible a round of mini golf at winter summerland or we may still hit the outlets for a few hours. While Mark & Laura get to have a morning date. Then we will meet up around lunchtime and go to Disney Quest for a while then by some Disney magic Mark snag us all an ADR for Ohana that night. I will also try to cram in some studying this day, because when I get home the next week it will be finals for me


Disney Quest is new for us. So any tips tricks or thoughts on it bring them on. I am excited because I like games myself I just don’t always have time to play them.


Look at that 2 updates in one week

We leave in 162 Days not that I'm counting or anything

 

[Elevationist]

Fun!!! I've never been to DisneyQuest myself, either. I keep telling myself that one of these days I'm going to, though! I'll be looking forward to hearing all about it!

Grats on Ohana! YUM!!!

170 days for me. HURRY UP AND GET HERE, WINTER!!!!

 

[Bethislucy]

HURRY UP AND GET HERE, WINTER!!!!

How hot is it in the coastal part of the state? In the Piedmont part we hit 99 today?

Oh god, girl. I'm not even sure of the actual temp currently. I know yesterday it was calling for 102. About an hour ago on my lunch break, I was on Facebook and a friend posted that a local news station just reported a heat index of 107. I feel like I'm breathing fire, and not in a cool dragon-like way either.

 

[Bethislucy]

I know I can't wait for a break in this heat wave

 

[Elevationist]

Calling for a heat index today of 118.

Just a small bit of info. We got our Black Friday ADR for Raglan Road. So excited about this like you guys just don't know. I've wanted to eat here for the past few trips and we haven't made it.
We also got great news that our traveling partners are 100% getting to go now so we are super excited for that as well.
If you remember I said Emily (my cousin/roommate) it's her sister and husband and kids. The 3 of us cousins have always been really close so the kids call me Auntie Beth as well as Emily. They don't really know any different so if I refer to them as my niece and nephew you know why. Just wanted to explain that crazy dynamic a little bit.
So with that side note in place a real life update. I'm going on vacation in 12 days and can not wait. We are getting ready to take A & L to the beach for a few days and pick them up for 8 nights. Can't wait we do this ever summer & it's always one of my favorite things to do. After that trip we are hoping to get the last of our Disney stuff together such as our hotel for black Friday & the hotel for the gulf night on the way home. So I hope in a few weeks to have a better update. Hope you all had a great 4th.

Congrats on both counts! I did dinner at Raglan Road in September and the food was amazeballs! I think you'll really like it!

How exciting! I hope you'll come back with a mini trip report for us!

WOOOHOOO!!!!
Can't wait to hear about it

Good Morning Disboard peeps. We had a great time at the beach it was just a low key trip to relax and spoil L & A just a little bit. I learnt a few things on this trip, there is no way I could ever do Disney in the summer and I do not have my walking built up to anywhere it needs to be. So as I’m typing this I’ve got greek yogurt for breakfast (which I don’t like at all lol) and a big ole bottle of water. I need to drop some weight so I’ll feel better on the trip, and I’ve got to start walking.


On the Disney trip from I need some major Disney magic because we are trying to add a day to our trip and are having no luck what so ever. I really hope the day opens up because I don’t want to really switch do the whole moving hotels that early in the morning. I should have thought that out better when we booked the trip. So cross your fingers please for some pixie dust to fall our way. I’m hoping as it gets closer the 45 day mark it will open up.


Also have any of y’all heard the rumor of the Christmas charter meal at Hollywood and Vine. Minnie’s holiday dine? This has intrigued me and as more info comes available I may just have to add it. I love Christmas and I love characters & I’ve never done Hollywood and Vine. So it sounds like it just might be a must do.


I hope you all are having a great trip & I hope to get that pixie dust soon and come back with some trip modifications soon.

121 Days to go
