Who is going? When?

[Missy1961]

No, I don't think so. Money is still a little tight.

 

[Meriweather]

Aww...that's too bad.
Hope you can make the exchangers' meet at least.

 

[Disneydonnam]

We will be at Bay Lake Towers Sept.5-12 and then Dec. 5-12.

Got some dates!! YEA!! Now that i have cemented dates it is now time to make sure I get everything planned and organized DAY BY DAY!!!

****Disney Vac. #1-- Dec. 24-Jan. 3 We will be staying off-site this year at the Sheraton Visitana...One week at the World, and 2 days at Universal...Me and my husband's family (7 of us in all..)

****Disney Vac. #2-- Jan. 21-23 Disney Cruise Line with my DH for a weekend cruise in the Pacific Ocean! No ports, just us, the ship, and FOOD!!

Those are my dates!! Now,....who wants to help me plan ADRs????

 

[Meriweather]

ADRs are soooo much fun!!
Glad you got your dates.

 

[Evita_W]

ADRs are soooo much fun!!
Glad you got your dates.

I agree.... ADRs are soooooooo much fun!! I just love looking and picking restaurants!!

My family has only 3 requests...Cinderella's Royal Table, Tutto Italia, and 50s Prime Time...but other than that it is up to me to choose... I just hope that I pick the right ones...

Oh I forgot to add, we MIGHT be able to do the Exchanger's Meet next Dec. Chris has not said yes or no yet, but it looks VERY PROMISING!! I sure hope so....I want to meet all my exchange friends!!

 

[Meriweather]

I'm sure we would love to help you with ADRs.
If you go back a ways there is a thread that ended a couple of months ago with restaurant reviews.

I do hope you and Chris can make the exchangers' meet. That would be great!

bumping up.

 

[cherry-pops]

I'm saving and planning for 2012 to coincide with the Formula One American GP in Austin Texas! And hopefully 2013 as well, when the Fantasyland expansion is complete.

Exact months and dates are not known, but it's nice to know that that's when we're going! I miss it so much!

 

[Evita_W]

Our dates have changed....slightly...

Our Dec. trip is going to be Dec. 21st-Dec. 28th! And we get FREE DINING!!

We will be staying at a Moderate Resort...any suggestions on which one we should pick??

 

[Pooh67_68]

Yes - Port Orleans French Quater, its our favorite resort. Of course we are now DVC so no more POFQ.

[Meriweather]

POFQ was okay....our favorite was always POR!! LOve the quietness and walkways.

We chose OKW because it was the closest DVC to it in feel, but POR is quieter and more serene.

 

[Evita_W]

why does there have to be TWO of them!!!

We could split time between the two...hahah ok maybe not...

There will be 7 of us in 2 rooms...Me, DH, MIL, FIL, SIL (15 and 13) and BIL (6)

I cannot wait...we make all our resevations NEXT WEEK!!

We will have Free Dining...Here is our sit down choices, what do you think? (We will pick counter service when we get there)

Dec. 21-Dec 28

*Cinderella's Royal Table (takes 2 credits)
*Le Cellier or Chefs de France (for Candlelight Prosessional)
*50s Prime Time
*Brown Derby (takes 2 credits)
*Tutto Italia

Am I missing any that I should do or I can pay out of pocket??

Thanks for the help guys!!

 

[Meriweather]

I would of course pick Le Cellier over Chefs de France (but that is good too)

I am not a fan of Brown Derby....but DH loves it.

Never been to Tutto, but don't eat much Italian (too many carbs)

Love 50's

Love CRT

 

[Evita_W]

Thanks for your input!

I do not know if my family would want Brown Derby or not, I just really liked it last time....

My family are BIG Italian fans, but I am trying not to do Mama Melrose as well as Tutto Italia just because I want us to have a variety...

Open Question: Would you leave your family and have a "special dinner" with DH? (Because we would love to do a place they would NOT like to do--For example: Boma or Jiko) I am not trying to be selfish...

 

[Meriweather]

definitely....go!

We have done it....DS and DDIL went by themselves to a couple of places.
4 of us went to 'Ohana and left DD

I don't think we would survive if it was 24/7 time together.
Even on the cruise, we did different things on ship and different excursions.

My vote would be for POFQ. We love it there. The small size is great and it's very quiet and beautiful. We always stroll up to POR and it is a large resort.

My DSis and I have eaten at Tutto Italia and we really enjoyed it so that would get my vote.

We find POFQ much more quieter then POR (have stayed at both numerous times). However with that may people you may want POR, if you stay in Alligator Bayou (not sure of the spelling) the rooms sleep 5, as there is a trundal bed the 6 yr. old can sleep on.


As for dinning you have my favorite 50's, but I would also recommend Rainforest Cafe. Of course Rainforest does not take the DP, so you would have to pay OOP.

And I would so leave my family behind for a nice dinner with just DH.

 

[Pooh67_68]

After I posted I was thinking, there is the option of renting DVC points from a member and geting a 2 bedroom villa at say OKW.
