Will the Army ever let me get back to Disney???-our pre-tip report~UPDATED 9/18 PICS

thanks so much for your kind words! that sucks that they wouldn't let you use the code for her. :sad2: Please tell your SIL that she is in my thoughts and prayers (as are you and the rest of your family.) This is our 3rd deployment and the holidays are very hard. But tell her that the time does pass quickly. I also found a great support site for wives, it is militarysos.com and it is a forum like this and it is nice to chat with others that are going through what you are.

Thank you. I will share the site with her. With him overseas and her raising my neice alone (of course they are posted nowhere near family) she is feeling very down. I would love for her to find support from other military wives as most of us can never fully understand what you all go through.
 
Noplanning updates tonight since I have been running around all day like a chicken with my head cut off planning a PTO (parent teacher organization) event that was tonight so alas no time for Disney stuff. But I did manage to do one very important thing that I just had to share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I paid the trip off today!!!!!!!!:banana: And bought X-mas party tickets for 11/10 (that calls for a double banana!) :banana: :banana:

Thanks so much! I am glad you are following along!
 
Sorry I have been MIA for a bit but life has been a little crazy. I will try to do better :)

So we always try to hit up at least one new restaurant each trip because we love to eat. This trip is no exception and we will be eating at 3 (count them) 3 new places. So here are our current ressies. Please give any imput esp on things to try at the "new" places.

11/9 Well since our 1st day is the last day of the FWF we are going to graze around the world and fully stuff ourselves. I am sure Ariel will complain because she has to be the pickiest eater to ever walk the planet but she will have to live and if I must a :mickeybar for dinner would make her happy. besides how many times will she ever get to be in WDW for her birthday again?

11/10 We are going to eat at Yak and Yeti for the 1st time. i am excited about this because the menu looks yummy and the atmosphere seems cool. We are eating early because we are going to MVMCP later on.

11/11 This is somewhere that Stitch has always wanted to try so yes we are splurging and using 2 TS credits to go to Yactsman Steakhouse. Stitch is a steak lover so he will even deal with the business causual dress code to eat here. i just pray that Ariel and Capt Jack are on thier best behavior. On a side note, I have adorable outfits in th eworks for this meal. Yes as a good disboutiquer I have many sets palnned for this trip :)

11/12 Another new one---man I am on a roll---We are eating at Kona ths night. We really like Ohana but they were booked all week. I have heard some good things so decided to give it a try. Besides who doesn't love going to the Poly? One day I will stay there. I WIL I WILL I WLL (ok mini tantrum over)

11/13 THE BIG DAY~~~~ROSEANNA'S 6TH BIRTHDAY~~~~~ Where are all the character meals you ask? Well on the princess's birthday of course! We will start out day at the Crystal Palace with Pooh and friends for breakfast. We always eat here but surprisingly never for breakfast. I hope it is good. Then for dinner (after a stop at the BBB) we are eating at 1900 Park Fare. Ariel adores indy so this was a no brainer! I can't believe that I actually got a ressie though at such late notice. I am going to have a cake done for her too. that reminds me I must call the cakehotline and order that soon. Someone remind me ok?????

11/14 We are eating at LeCellier at 1:40 (that is all I could get) but that is ok because we get to eat there. this is one of our favorites and I would have been disappointed if I couldn't eat there. I need my chocolate moose moose :)

11/15 nothing planned because we are already over our credits (I am sure some of you math people out there realized that alreday) but we are going to pay OOP for CP. So it will be some counter service today. Still working on the park scedules for the week.

So that is all for now. Next up our princess is going to the BBB so we will look back at the last 2 trips to there and her magical transformations.
 
Good picks Nikki! You did a great job of picking my favorites for the three days I'll be there. You know that I always always have to eat with Eeyore. Thanks for waiting until I'm there for that, and Le Cellier is the has the best meals ever! We did 1900 Park Fare two weeks ago and it was great. I can't wait to surprise Roseanna for her birthday as her present!:rotfl:
Now get to work on my grandkids outfits!!!!! Oh yeah, get to work on their outfits for my son's homecoming. It will be here very very soon! Hooray!!!!! We finally get to see him after all these months.
love Rara
 
Wow what a great "eating" schedule!!! Isn't it soo much fun to plan! I tell you what, I find I relax more while I am actually there cause I know I don't have to stress about where to go or what to do or where to eat. As you know, you will find people approaching the podium at say, Le Cellier, and leave in disbelief that they can't just walk in when they want! :rolleyes:

I am really really looking forward to seeing all of your customs you are making! I just love the pic in your siggy with Roseanna in her Alice custom! Just beautiful! :thumbsup2
 
Cant wait to get there and eat some good food ! The army doesnt feed us to well over here. Tell Rara I already know what I'm wearing at the homecoming thing.

We'll I guess welcome home is in order for you too. I'm always so glad to here when one of our soldiers sets foot back in America. I'm a friend of Nikki's. I've been keeping her out of trouble while the hubby was away. LOL We're going in December too, but not until 2009. So long to wait, but so worth every minute. Fly home safe.

So long to wait but so much time to plan. Oh how I love the planning process!
 
I am hooked!!
We live near an air force base and alot of our friends are in the Air force. A couple of years ago, we were planning a cruise and one fo the guys was going to go with us, but his dates to come home from iraq kept getting switched around--the cruise line actually let us wait to pay his trip off until we knew for sure when he was coming home--it was crazy, but he made the trip!

I love that your hubby is finding disney fans in iraq and getting them to sign up..i tried getting my friend to do that and he laughed at the thought
 
i know you have nothing else to do, so i want more ptr. To those of you who don't know disneylovinfamily. She owns her own business making childrens clothes & is doing very well. That means tons of orders. So instead of posting, she busy sewing, making little children all over the country look gorgeous. So, I guess we'll just have to be patient until she get her work done. I love you girl. :woohoo:
