[inkedupmomma]

Thanks beka! Love you!

 

[Trentmom]

Happy Birthday Jenn

Your plans look like so much fun

Every time I try to get to Fantasmic, it just does not work out for us

Hoping we can make it happen next trip

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Your plans look great!

1. On Sep 19, remember it takes a long time to get from AKL to MK usually, so allow for extra time if there's anything you want to be sure you are there for.

2. If a cruise is not in the budget, you might be able to special order a cake - you can even send a pic of a "inspiration cake" and they will copy it. Lurkyloo from the DIS has a great blog - here is her chapter on cakes. She has done alot of research for passporter for weddings, and is now published in a special edition for them: http://disneytravelbabble.com/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-cake-at-walt-disney-world/

Happy Planning!

Hi Jenn!!! I just found your PTR and read the WHOLE thing!!! All I can say is when you were telling your story in the beginning of your PTR... I swear I though you were telling MY life story there for a minute!!! My stupid ex pretty much did the same thing to me!! Jerks!!! Anyway, I am so happy to see that you found true happiness! Bob seems like a GREAT guy!!! Hope I find my Prince Charming soon!!!

Looks like we will be missing you by a few day in Sept. We check out on 9/6!

Oh, and guess what, I'm a Philly girl too!! Looks like we got a few things in common!

It's getting closer!! WooHoo!

I'm glad we'll be at MNSSHP together. I'm not sure where we'll eat that night--we'll probably just grab a counter service meal quickly. We'll most likely be full from lunch that day (thinking Rainforest Cafe at AK) and don't want to take long to eat!
Crystal Palace, huh?!? Okay, I'm with Jophia on this one. We love it.

 

[KatMark]

OK.. I was sent September park hours by my awesome Sophia After looking at them, and comparing my schedule, it seems that I could NOT have planned anymore perfectly! It is like they planned around my schedule! Even the night I want Fantasmic!

Of course, this isn't big news, as who knows if things will change? But as of right now, I can keep the schedule I have made! Like I said, some things have changed since I first started posting my itinerary, so I am just going to post wha I have now, in text format, then add pics from years past!

I present to you, my master plan!*subject to change...again..and again..and again..and again..and again..and.. you get it!


Friday September 9,2011- Arrival Day!

No clue what time we are arriving, but we will surely be tired! Hopefully we will be able to check in early, and catch a nap..or at least let Bob get one! I'll be too excited!

Dinner- Spirit of Aloha, 5pm seating if possible! The earlier the better! I want to be in bed early, so we can wake up early the next day!

Saturday September 10, 2011- 1st Magic Kingdom Day

Breakfast- Crystal Palace..never thought I would choose this as my first breakfast in the world, but we want to get right to the park that day, and we are doing CRT that night..so it seemed like a bit of overkill to do it for breakfast and dinner!

Dinner- Oh, yay, you read the last part, so you know already? Cinderella's Royal Table! Always my first MK dinner! Tonight we will dine with my friend Michelle and her fam! Her DD10 happens to be Kayla's BFF! They are so similar looking it is ridiculous! They rarely see each other, yet are So alike..pick out same clothes, shoes, even eye wear!


Sunday September 11, 2011- Disney's Hollywood Studios

Breakfast- 1900 Park Fare w/ my friend Michelle!

Dinner- As of right now, I have Hollywood Brown Derby, fantasmic package! May change that to Mama Melrose..but i doubt it! I want to use my signature credits!

Staying for Fantasmic! First time seeing it!

EMH @ Mk 9pm-12

Monday September 12, 2011- Epcot

Breakfast- Akershus!

Dinner- Le Cellier! Hoping the addition of a dining credit makes this menu even better... Not gonna hold my breathe though!


Tuesday September 13, 2011-Animal Kingdom

Lunch- Yak and Yeti... I did not love this place last time we were there, but I have this overwhelming need to try it again.. I think it is the won ton dessert to be honest.. that part I remember was amazing! Hoping to get the earliest seating, as we will be hungry!

Dinner- Ohana w/ Michelle and her family! I think this will be a ton of fun for all! Super chill and relaxing with no rush back to a park afterwards!

Wednesday September 14, 2011- Water Park (leaning towards Typhoon Lagoon) and Quest day!

NO CLUE What I do have written down is :
Breakfast- Resort Yes, me, eat a CS!!
Lunch- @ Typhoon Lagoon another CS?? I may hold out though and just do an early Dinner in DTD at Earl Of Sandwich..my FAVORITE meal ever anywhere lol!

This day is completely open, and I like that! I am rarely spontaneous!

Thursday September 15, 2011- Epcot

Breakfast- Cape May Cafe. Today we will do a later seating! and maybe even take the morning off!

Dinner- Biergareten! I kinda liked this place last time! If for nothing else but atmosphere! I am already picturing Bob and the kids dancing around to the Polka music

Friday September 16,2011- Jophia Arrive Magic Kingdom day!

Breakfast- CRT! After wanting to try this, so many times and never doing so, we are finally going to try it!

Dinner- MK closes early for MNSSHP this night, so Jophias plans of going to The Plaza won't work out, as of tonight, we decided we will all go to Kona for dinner! We have all wanted to try this place for dinner, as it is our fav breakfast, so I am excited to be able to do it with our favorite Disney goers!

Saturday September 17,2011- Jophias 11th Wedding Anniversary!! Epcot

Breakfast- Kona Cafe! Yes..we were there the night before I told you, we loves it! Honestly though, the breakfast is amazing here!

Dinner- Grand Floridian Cafe. Jophia love it here, and have invited us to join them on their anniversary dinner! This is a first for us, and I couldn't be more excited after hearing the fantastic reviews from Jophia and many other Disers!

I am hoping to pull off a fantastical, most romantical surprise for Bob and the kids..but I have no clue what? Don't think a wishes cruise is in the budget, but I want to try!

Sunday September 18,2011- Day Off/ No Park

We only bought 10 day park passes, so we had to choose one day to chill out! Today is this day!

Not sure what we will do with our day yet! I had Yachtmans for dinner, but I think I am going to change it for California Grill! We'll see!

Monday September 19,2011- Animal Kingdom and DATE NIGHT!! Well.. hopefully!

Breakfast- Tuskerhouse! Hoping to get to DAK early and have a nice morning there!

Dinner- JIKO! Hear great things about this place, and seems to be a great date night spot!

Hoping to meet Jophia this night at the MK!

Tuesday September 20,2011- Off Morning/ MNSSHP!!

Not sure what this morning will hold for us? I am kind of hoping to sleep in, and then head to DTD for either EoS or WPE..WPE would be a first!

Dinner- Early seating at Crystal Palace.. I know.. ME doing a dinner BUFFET? But hey, we wanna do as many meals with Jophia as possible, and they like it here!

Wednesday September 21,2011- LAST PARK DAY Hollywood Studios and Epcot!

Lunch- Sci Fi Cafe! This place is just so fun inside! i just know Bob and the kids will LOVE it!

Dinner- Teppen Edo! Tonight we get to eat with not only Jophia, but we get to meet another Dis family! Stefy and Dave! I am super excited about this meal and so is bob! he LOVES Hibachi! It's also a really fun way to end our trip!

Thursday September 22,2011- Leave to go home...and cry..cry...cry.

Breakfast- Boma with Jophia! this is Kayla's favorite place!


So that is our plan so far! Like I said, all the hours line up with I have planned, so please pray that it stays that way!

Let me know what you think of all this! too much, too little? just right???

Pics soon!

I cannot believe we miss you by one day (we are flying in Thursday, the 22nd, at night.

Hi neighbor Jenn! I don't know if you remember me, I used to read your TRs all the time - glad I found your new PTR! I fell off the DISboards for about a year after an experience somewhat similar to yours....luckily things have turned around for me too and my amazing fiancee & I are headed to WDW in May

Bob seems amazing and your trip plans sounds wonderful. I LOVE POFQ! And your dining plans sounds fabulous...Jiko, Sci Fi, Yak & Yeti...delish.

Anyway so glad you are doing well, you look great too!

Hey Philadisney. I read your TR awhile back and was wondering what happened to you. Glad to see all is well now and that you are back.

 

[inkedupmomma]

It's getting closer!! WooHoo!

Crystal Palace, huh?!? Okay, I'm with Jophia on this one. We love it.

You are super close now! I don't love CP..but I'm willing to give it a go! plus, any food in disney is better than a meal at home!

I cannot believe we miss you by one day (we are flying in Thursday, the 22nd, at night.

gah.. boo

YES I totally remember you! hi hi hi! Sorry to hear you had to go through anything like I did... but lets catch up on that via PM!! So glad to hear you are engaged! Disney wedding? Are you still working in tv and living in my neck of the woods?
Bob seems amazing and your trip plans sounds wonderful. I LOVE POFQ! And your dining plans sounds fabulous...Jiko, Sci Fi, Yak & Yeti...delish.

Anyway so glad you are doing well, you look great too!

Bob is amazing and I'm stoked to be bringing him to disney with us! Glad you like POFQ!!! I just fell in love with it via pics.. and veryone has agreed that it rocks! I can't wait to get there! SO..any new PTR for you?? PLEASE!

 

[inkedupmomma]

So, who forgets her bag o' disney including every adr time and place she wanted to dine at, at home....

YUP....
ME!!

Picture it, , Saturday night, March 12, around 11:30 pm at Bob's moms house. Friday's strawberry shortcake blendie drink from heaven in hand, talking, laughing, being silly.

SO fun, right?

Til I realized, at that very moment, OH CRAP, I FORGOT MY BAG O DISNEY!!! and whats that? I have to be up in 7 hours to make my adr's! Oh wait, and what? you wanna make this more fun, it's day light savings, so I'm gonna lose an hour of sleep on top of having to wake up stupid early on my one day off?

GREAT!

At this point I almost started crying! and Bob, God love him, says, OK, i'll drive home and get your stuff I looked at him like he was crazy, and told him he was wonderful. But, no, I couldn't let him drive all the way back home (over an hour) to get what I forgot! How did I even forget it? I have dropped the disney ball. and I am ashamed! Thank god, Sophia was still awake! I called her in a swift panic and begged for the times and dates of our meals together! Then I thanked jesus for creating the disboards and came on over here to see what the rest of my days looked like! Thank you PTR

Between Sophia, the disboards PTR and my very lacking memory, I was able to remember almost all the details!

So, I went to bed pretty satisfied. Set my alarm, asked Sophia to call me just in casies too!

Too bad, I never took my phone of vibrate from earlier that evening, and even better, too bad AT+T or apple didn't UPDATE MY FREAKING PHONE! MY BRAND NEW iPhone 4!! Yep.. it didn't change the time on my phone

By some mystery miracle, I woke up on my own at 7:05.. looked at my phone that said 6:05 and said wow I have another hour..but noticed I had a text.. from Sophia.... are you up?? Sophia..why would I be up that early?? OH CAUSE IT WASN'T THAT EARLY! Luckily I knew Sophia would be on top of that, so I ran upstairs to check every clock in the house! Sure enough, it WAS past 7, not 6!!! Stupid phone!

As fast as I could, I dialed Disney and rambled something like OMGITSMYADRDAYANDIWOKEUPTOOLATECANISTILLHASMYRESSIESPLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE

To which I got a NOT so magical CM say, we'll see Just one more time, NOT magical CM. Made me sad and did not give me the disney feel I was hoping for at all!

To make matters worse, the system for CRT was down, and online booking would NOT let me book a thing! there is nothing worse than hearing that you can not book your most favorite and anticipated meal!

I did however get everything else I wanted, at the times I wanted..even hard ones like Le Cellier and Ohana..for a party of 9 at that!

But wait.. DUH.. I could only book for up until the 19th..180+10 I never thought of that! So I had to call back again tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that annoying! But I did it, and again got everything I wanted.

At the end of the day, i got every ressie I wanted, at the time I wanted it at! Only hiccup is CRT, we were supposed to eat with our friends, but they didn't have a table for 9... they did however have two ressies, both at 6:40, one for a party of five and one for a party of four... My hope is, that we will arrive and explain and they can at least seat us by each other if not together

Another fun addition to all this heck, I got a charge on my bank account for $198.00 when I called, it was from Disney! They charged me for CRT!! I was like, OH HECK NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! All that grief and calling back and you charged me, even though i'm on DxDP..ai ai ai! Sory maam, we will have to cancel this ressie and rebook it.. I nearly had a stroke, this is now 4 days later and you want to book me a new CRT ressie?? Luckily she had my time slot and couple others around that time, whew! My money just got refunded yesterday! So beware folks...make sure you check your account!

Like I said, at the end of the day, it all worked out for me, and I am please as punch to have all my ADR's!

So, how'd I do? I'm stoked and really getting excited for our trip now!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

You did great, kid!!
Man, I bet you've never been so happy to have a PTR. And a Sophia.

That's a whole lot of eating; gotta love deluxe!
I'm hoping I can get all mine on Monday.

 

[Trentmom]

WOW, you made out awesome!!

Glad you got that charge refunded. That would have ticked me off

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I'm so glad that you got what you wanted....and that I was actually up when you called me.

you'll get yours! and I was actually surprised to see how many adr's you guys were doing! I love the meal and heat break honestly!

WOW, you made out awesome!!

Glad you got that charge refunded. That would have ticked me off

I was beyond ticked! I was even more ticked when I got yet another NOT so magical CM, who was annoyed with me :/

I'm so glad that you got what you wanted....and that I was actually up when you called me.

ME TOO!

 

[Beka]

Wonder which frog I'd have to kiss to get to join you at Brown Derby. It was SO good!

Your ADRs look great! I expect much blogging & what-not with your new toy.

 

[KatMark]

Jen, your list looks great!
