You know I have been excited for you since you first made the plan, and I am SO excited for your kids that they get to see DLR in its wonderful holiday splendor!!! One of the places you are eating is Rainforest Cafe, right? (I remember there was some deliberation on whether to eat there before you made the PS.) Well, even though you will have a very large group of people with you there, you will enjoy it. It is a cool atmosphere and good food, and it should be a big hit all around. What other restaurants did you make PS's for?
Ohoooohhh You guys totally made me cry. You are all SO GREAT. I'm still freaking, but I think we're sitting down tonight to make some set in stone plans..I already had some guidelines. I just..can't remember them all. *slams face against wall*
Sherry, You're such a sweetheart. You've been such a great help to me! I'm so excited for that. I totally plan on blubbering like a baby when I get the kids their first time pins. MUST WRITE THAT DOWN lol Yep, Rainforest reservations were made. We ended up not making any others..and to try to play it by ear. I think that's why my anal side is freaking a little. But yes. Tonight. I will write down some FOR SURE's!
Brady's Mom! I will KEEP IT WARM for you! You come when we leave! Keep Orem WARM for me too, lady. If I come back to snow, I'll know who to blame
I am glad to have helped in some small way! If you start getting nervous about not having made any other PS's for meals, when you first get to DLR you can kind of get the lay of the land and see what the crowds are looking like around the various restaurants and if it looks bad, you can call Disneyland Dining on the spot and ask if they have any openings for PS's at any of the restaurants you want while you are there. I have heard of some people being lucky enough to make the PS's on same day they needed them. It all depends on if there are openings. But even if there are no openings for PS's, you can still get a table at any of the restaurants without one - with the exception of the Blue Bayou. You just might have to wait longer, but you can still do it! I haven't gotten a sense yet of how the crowds are going during the week. People reported that it was super crowded around this past weekend, when the holiday season 'officially' started, but I don't know if those same crowds will carry through the weekdays too. You will kind of be able to tell what you are up against when you get there and then if you feel more comfortable having PS's, you call Disneyland Dining! And yes, it is good to have a list of ALL the things - anything and everything - everyone wants to do and see while there, and then have the back-up list of just the really important, 'can't miss' things just in case the crowds are daunting in any way!
Capture every moment on film and post lots of pictures when you get back!!!
Have a great trip!
