It's only like 30 bucks to add another day of park tickets and our flight will be arriving at about 3:30pm that day. Our initial plan was either hit the pool or possibly DTD but now I am feeling like I will sad to be SOCLOSE to the parks but not actually go to one. Since it won't be a full day though, I thought we might do a quick service dinner somewhere, meander over to MK, take in the atmosphere, take a few spins on the carousel and then stuff ourselves silly with desserts Has anyone gone to the dessert party recently that wants to share their experience? We are 2 adults and a 5 year old

My Dis friend, Angie, posted her review of the dessert party yesterday. Here's the link to her review: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=255

Did the Dessert Party last trip and it was a lot of fun .Great desserts and nice view of both the parade and Wishes. I wouldn't do it every trip but certainly every other!

I have been keeping the dessert party idea in my pocket but haven't had a time slot that it fit perfectly with until now, so I am pretty sure I'm going to book it!

Got my ADR's this morning for May trip 18th -26th Tony's Town Square

Getting excited. Saturday will be my 180 mark. I keep going over the ADRs and still not sure if I am set. Trying to decide if I have too many. I don't want to be limited to what we can do by the ADRs. This is what I have we will see what happens when Saturday rolls around. This is a secret trip for our anniversary kid free. Its hard to keep the secret. So I have to talk to someone about it. We will be staying at CBR first time on property too. May 23rd-27th.

May 24th- Captains Grill, eat around the world, Coral Reef
May 25th- probably just eat at the food court so we can be there for rope drop at HS, Sci Fi, Mama Melroses.
May 26th- looking at Kona, The Plaza, Tokyo Dining
May 27th- Boma, Sanaa. Still not positive about these two.

My 180 mark is Black Friday and we'll be on vacation in Tennessee. Thank goodness the hotel has free wi-fi.

We'll be staying at the CBR too! But, this will be our 9th stay there. You're going to love it! I have lots of pictures of the resort in my trip report. Just click on the link if you wanna have a look around. We seem to have the same tastes. I'm going to try and book ADRs at Coral Reef, Mama Melrose's, Kona and Boma.

I have never been to Big River Grille but a Dis friend of mine has gone several times and they always enjoy it. I wish they took reservations because I don't want to take a chance that we'll get there and have to wait forever.

Thanks. I will check your trip report out when I get home on the computer. I reserved a pirate room for my big kid. He is such a kid at heart when it comes to the pirates.

If my mother (79 and is going to Disney with us) ends up backing out of the trip, I may switch us over to a pirate room just so we can try something "new" at the resort. If you have any specific CBR questions, feel free to ask.

What is ADR?
Should I be calling and booking our hotel? I want to stay on property and was also hoping for Free Dining. Can this be added later ?

Where should I buy tickets at? Do they have something similar to the California CityPass in Orland that will get you into a few parks that can be bought?

Come one guys throw some suggestions at me! I dont know what's I should do next and hold off on.

Congrats on your booking airfare. I can't wait what other decisions you make. I will PM you with some more information.

I am about to add all the new information to the list, if you are new and I missed you please let me know so I can fix it. If you have your ADR's made and would like me to add them to the list include the names and times here. That way if someone is going to be at the same restaurant about the same time they can maybe talk about a meet. If you haven't had a chance to check out the Face book page I definatly encourage you to so. I personally tend to be on there more but will try to be on here more often.

[Corrine 1973]

Only a couple of more days until I can make ADR's. WooHoo!! I hope to get everything that I want. Gonna set my alarm to get up early that day!!

[jennyjinx3]

haven't popped in here in a while! We got all the reservations we wanted for our May 15 - 20 trip.

They are:

1900 Park Fare dinner (repeat for us)
Tusker House breakfast (new for us)
Be Our Guest ()
Le Cellier dinner (a favorite!)
50's dinner (trying this one out!)

Hope everyone else gets the ADR's they want!
