Oh no! Let us know what happens with the bosses!

shordiebecka · 03-11-2009, 11:50 AM

Any updates yet? The waiting must be driving you nuts...we're right here with ya!

tiggersam00 · 03-11-2009, 12:35 PM

Oh no! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you! Let us know when you find out

bouncycat · 03-12-2009, 08:43 AM

Okay, my Aunt talked to her bosses, they haven't made travel arrangements, and they LOVE what I'm doing for Ma, so they're okay with her birthday week. WHEW!! Crisis averted!! BUT....my Aunt is coming over to spend her birthday in the park with us, and she put in a request to go to Magic Kingdom, since she hasn't been there in forever, SO, that throws a wrench into the works, and I'm working on sketching a new rough plan. SO, would it be too much MK if we did MNSSHP on the 15th, and then MK again on the 17th?

I wouldn't think so, cause MK is my favorite park, but would it be for my DSIS? I emailed her, I KNOW i'm driving her crazy with the planning, but I just don't wanna go and then go thru the "what do you want to do today" question! I wanna wake up and say HERE'S what we're doing today! SO...DSIS doesn't like epcot, so I'm thinking of doing that by EMH, or on the 18th after DHS....or we can do epcot on checkout day of the 19th???? I dunno!! I'm Confused!! HAHA So, back to the drawing board on the plans!!

bouncycat · 03-12-2009, 09:44 AM

Okay...here goes!! Had to play around with things a bit, and not even sure if DSIS will go for it, but hey, here goes!! HAHA

Day 1, Sept 15th, no change, arrive around noon, dinner at Crystal Palace at 5, MNSSHP that night.

Day 2, Also no change, AK CS lunch, with Kona's for dinner

Day 3, Ma's birthday, here's where the changes start LOL Aunt Donna wants to go to MK, since she hasn't been there for about 23 years, so I'm game for pleasing her! LOL Since she's helping with the bosses and such. Gonna do the birthday dinner at Tony's. I looked at CRT, but the food doesn't seem appealing to me for dinner! Not sure if Ma would like it either, so go with the ol' standby of italian food!!

Day 4 Epcot with Coral Reef for dinner...I REALLY wanna try Coral Reef!!! HAHA

Day 5, check out, and DHS. Last CS for lunch, and then head home when we're done with this park.

Let me know what you think, so my day one plan should still stand, I'll work on a day 2 now that we know the dates aren't changing. Plus, we're upgrading from staying at CBR to FW Cabins...DSIS is insisting on her own bed...go figure!! HAHA Tell me what you think, and GOD lets hope it doesn't change again!!

shordiebecka · 03-12-2009, 09:53 AM

That all sounds really good!! I'm so happy that the bosses approved it

One word of advice- I would wait to see the park hours before you finalize things...Disney has been changing things like crazy so i would just wait to finalize, but it looks really good!

tiggersam00 · 03-12-2009, 10:14 AM

Oh good! I am glad it all worked out, it would have been shame if you had to change it around.

I think you can never have enough MK! If you make an ADR for a sit down restaurant on one or both of the days it won't feel as overwhelming too

bouncycat · 03-12-2009, 02:24 PM

Yea, now we just gotta see if DSIS will approve...I emailed her earlier, and I know it may all change once the park hours come out, but I just like having the rough sketch played out...so we'll see how it all plays out!! Once I get past this May quick trip, I can place all my focus on to September!! I THINK I got May all figured out!! There's another PTR on here somewhere for that one!

So what did DSIS think?

bouncycat · 03-13-2009, 12:26 PM

She hasn't emailed me back yet!!! She's in AZ, and I'm in FL, so there's a big time difference...but she usually emails me at night, or whatever. She probably thinks I'm crazy!

She probably thinks I'm obsessing over this and can't figure out why we need to decide where to go for dinner this early out....

She just doesn't get it...BUT, she will, I'm sure!!! I'll let you know, once this may trip is done, then ALL my attention focuses on this trip....so she has about a 2 month leeway here!

bouncycat · 03-16-2009, 09:12 AM

STILL no word from DSIS

My aunt told me yesterday that if she doesn't by the time comes to make the ressies, to go with my plan. She thinks my plan is pretty good. So, I'll work on Day 2 here in a little bit, when the morning rush calms down at work here!!

Next up, Day 2, Animal Kingdom!!!

bouncycat · 03-16-2009, 09:47 AM

Alright, back to the planning!! HAHA DSIS's plan is NOT to be up with the chickens this day, depending on how late we're out the night before, but I DO want to get to the park around AT LEAST 10ish, for touring purposes! First up, as always is EE, I just LOVE that ride, DSIS and Ma haven't been there, and I know they'll like that...and then head over to dinoland, and Nemo show, after that work our way around, the bug show, Festival of the lion king, and then the safari ride. I KNOW they'll like that. They may not like the conservation station, so we can go there if we have the time, and fit in Kali somewhere along the way. I don't have a definate plan, just wanted to go with the flow for the parks, but had a good idea on what direction we wanted to go in. We'll leave here, and head over to Kona for dinner...I may change this tho, we're eating at Kona in May for DH, so if I like it, then I'll take Ma and DSIS there, if not, I'll change it. I do want to be back and in bed semi fairly early, since day 3 is Ma's birthday....That's gonna be a long day!!!

Also, we're upgrading to FW to the cabins, not sure if I mentioned it before, DSIS wants her own bed

I'm just glad she doesn't want her own bathroom too!!!

So, my dreams unlimited lady, gave me a new quote, which is about $200 more...so I told DSIS that's her share!!

I think we'll be alright in the cabins, we can use the car to get around, I know my way around REALLY well there, so I shouldn't get lost hardly at all!

Next up...day 3, MA'S BIRTHDAY!!

leamom2princesses · 03-16-2009, 10:56 AM

I'm a rope drop kind of girl so I would be leaving DSis at the cabin

You're plan looks good. I haven't done Kona before so I'm looking forward to your trip report from the May trip. Can't wait to see your plans for Ma's birthday. I'm trying to figure out what to do for DH during our May trip. It will be his birthday on the 17th. He says he doesn't need special treatment but we will do something fun and unique. I'm thinking maybe a Segway tour.

bouncycat · 03-16-2009, 12:06 PM

Shoot, DH is just lucky we're gonna BE in disney for his birthday!! The original plan for that one was just to go over on the 19th, DS's birthday...I really hope we like Kona...and I HAVE thought of leaving DSIS in the cabin, and having her catch us later!!

Ma and I are early risers, DS will wake up whenever, but Since we'll be at MNSSHP late, I REALLY don't need a grouchy sister, so this is the ONE day I planned on sleeping in a tad bit!

3princesses+aprince · 03-16-2009, 12:32 PM

Hello bouncycat!!!!!!!
A Pirate room at CBR , that sounds so awesome! I'm sure your Ma is going to be thrilled with the trip.

We want to be at the night time EMHs as well. We are more night people than we are morning, that's for sure.
