We Got It!

[PrincessShanShan]

I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but I was trying for a Wishes b'day cruise for my dh's b'day (which also fall during the time of our Disneymoon). I was planning on the sleigh ride with dinner at Citrico's as a backup plan. My 90 day call time was Thursday. We got the Wishes cruise! I'm so excited!! I had planned on arranging dinner through private dining to have on board the boat during the cruise but because it'll be a little later than we normal eat in the evening, I decided to just have the cake and soft drinks. I made an ADR at Whispering Canyon for 5pm that evening. That should give us plenty of time to eat and then meet the boat at the Contemporary marina by 8pm. We're doing the dining plan so not going to Citrico's freed up two table service meals. Whispering Canyon will use one of them. With one left, I wasn't sure which restaurant to pick. I finally decided on Ohana's. I love it there---it's so much fun! Anyway, now I finally have everything planned. All the meals, all the entertainment, and dh's b'day surprise!
