[AmberHeartsDisney]

[summerlady]

I forgot to post my ADRs, silly me, and I did them online last Wednesday:

Nov. 15: Sci-Fi 6:05 p.m.
Nov. 16 Biergarten 12:30 p.m.
Nov. 17 1900 Park Fare 8:00 a.m.
Nov. 18 Rose & Crown 7:45 p.m.
Nov. 19 Liberty Tree Tavern 5:15 p.m.

Just found out yesterday that I'm going to probably have to have knee surgery, got the results of the MRI. I have a torn meniscus and a freakin' Baker's cyst, the cyst was more than likely caused by the torn cartilage. Gotta get it done asap so I'll be ready for November. Just what I need. Ha!

I just made our reservations for Nov.28-Dec 3rd at the WL. It will be our girls first trip and I can't wait to share it with them.

I am amazed at how organized everyone is. Talk about having an inferiority complex. I've got one. Have I got a long ways to go.....

I've learned so much over the last couple of weeks here on the Disboards though, and I'm trying to soak up alot more before this wonderful vacation rolls around. Thank you all so much for all your ideas and help.

Congrats on booking your trip!! Oregonmommyof2 and I are both checking in that day with our men . If you have any questions about stuff just ask, I am sure one of us can answer.

I just checked out the park hours. I must say I am not to happy. MK is only scheduled for fireworks for the MVMMCP holiday wishes. No regular wishes or fireworks unless it is the extra party night. Spectro magic is only running 2 times during those dates and 1 of the nights are the same as Fantasmic at DHS. Fantasmic is only showing two time during these dates.

This will be our 4 th trip during this time of year and every time the shows/ fireworks become less frequent. I am really starting to feel like because it is value season the customer's experience is less important. The park tickets are the same price all year long. Discouraged and contemplating canceling the trip.

I would hope they'll be more things added as time goes by. That's what I'm hoping for at least!



Sorry for neglecting you guys! We're leaving for Sea World and a bit of Disney tomorrow night after work so my mind's been a bit distracted. As soon as we get back I'll get everything updated I promise!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Remember the reason for the holiday weekend while you're BBQing and have a good time.

I was at the computer with my morning Diet Coke at 5:55 today! But it was so worth it-- got ALL my ADRs when I wanted them, including CRT breakfast before park opening! I'm very excited on that one... People free Main Street~! All in all, I made 14 ADRs in 55 minutes (including 2 dinner shows & CRT castle which require a credit card hold which takes a bit longer). After reading some horror stories, I was very pleased on how well the online ressie process worked and how much easier the process was with their recent upgrades.

Now comes the hard part-- waiting 6 months to go!

We went last year the same time and it was WONDERFUL! Nice during the day and a little chilly at night, so pack accordingly

I know I know. It was so much easier to book dining that I thought it would be! But now I'm almost tempted to change our reservations just to have something to do until the trip

My family will be celebrating my nephew's first bday at MK on Nov. 29. He turned 6 months old this past Saturday, so we are now officially less than 6 months away from going. ADR's open for us tomorrow, so our Memorial Day will be spent eating yummy food and talking Disney. I can't wait!

Happy Memorial day :)

If you made or will make a shirt out of your user pic, be sure to wear it on your trip (well, at least after December 1). I'd love to see my design in action in the World!!
