Yikes I have to turn over PS responsibility to DH!!!

[D L and K's Mom]

I love my DH, I really, really, really do BUT......I am having some surgery and will be going in on the day we can make our first PS. I will not be up to doing the calling for quite a few days. I am going to have to turn the responsibility over to DH. I have told this to a few friends at work and they laugh and do not see why I am a little doubtful and nervous. I have explained to Ds how important it really is to me. He thinks I am nuts! I have always done the PS arrangements for our family so I don't think they get just how it is done. We have a 3 year old and we want to do the Castle Princess Breakfast, Fantamic and the new Play and Dine at MGM. I hate to admit it but I am a little angry at how DH is just being so goofy about it. He just keeps saying....I know I know I have to call first thing and yell at the poor CM ,"I want Cindy's, Give me Cindy's". I could hit him over the head!!! Have I lost my mind??? I just am not ready to hand over the "Folder" with all the restaurant plans in it to him. I feel as if there should be some sort of ceremony and a oath that he will take this seriously. We are going over Christmas and there are 7 of us so we need PS!!! I think I will make him go with me to the notary with me so I can have him sign some kind of document. Have I gone crazy???

Have I gone crazy???

Yes.

No, I completely understand. I love my husband dearly, but I would never want him to be responsible for vacation planning, especially ADR's. On top of that you are trying to get Cindy's at one of the busiest times.

I wish you the best of luck.

1. Pixie dust to you for a successful surgery.
2. Pixie dust to your DH for the PS/ADR work. If at first he doesn't succeed at 7am, have him try about 9pm at night. I was able to score all my ressies for Christmas 2005 (last year) that way - even Cindy's.
3. Pixie dust to your family for a great holiday.

No. My DH is the same way. I had him help me call for Cindy's (on his cell phone) while I called on our house phone and my cell phone!! You would have thought I had asked him to fly me to the moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck getting your ADRs.

You could alway transfer your package (if you're doing one) over to Dreams Unlimited - then they will do it for you and they know how "serious" it is Seriously though my Dreams agent got me and Illuminations Cruise and Cindy's our trip this past September.

He knows how much it means to you - maybe he'll surprise you and make it happen!! Several years ago, we decided to try for Cindy's for breakfast - I tried calling and couldn't get anything (didn't understand all the "calling rules" then) - I gave up and didn't think it could happen. Unknowing to me, my DH called every day, like clockwork, and one day about a month before our trip, he got lucky and "snagged" the reservation!! I was so proud of him!!!

ahhhhhh
5 not crazy
1 crazy....not to bad.
We are not doing a package....At least I don't think it is considered a package. We made ressies for POR and then added the Dining plan. I don't think that is considered a package. We did it through WDW reservations.
Thanks for all the encouragement. I guess I will be happy with whatever we are able to get but I know this is our last trip for quite sometime and I really want it to be as Perfect as possible. Thanks again.

Good luck to you Girlfriend.
I'm not too optimistic for you but I do wish you all the luck in the world.
Can you get a friend to do it for you maybe?

This year I had to let my DH make all the ADRs and he actually did a great job! But I can understand why you might be worried.

I made a detailed list for him. I listed the DOW and the date and then what restaurant and the time we wanted. I left room between each one for him to make notes in. He got ALL of the ADRs we wanted and wrote down the reservation numbers. We're on the dining plan for 8 nights and we're doing some extra TS, so this was a lot!

I have boys and we did not try to get Cindy's. So best of luck with that!
