What's new? How are everyone's ADR's coming along?

Here is what I reserved yesterday:

Oct. 2 Cape May Buffet dinner
Oct. 3 Lilo and Stitch 'Ohana breakfast
October 4 'Ohana dinner
October 5 Sci-fi Diner dinner
October 6 'Ohana dinner (yes we like 'Ohanas that much!)
October 7 Boma AKL dinner
October 8 T-Rex DTD dinner
October 9 Yak & Yeti dinner

I am getting sooooo excited and now that I am housebound for a few weeks I can spend even more time on the DISboards! We check out on October 9 and will stay off property by Universal for a few nights...11 years later and we are FINALLY going to another theme park !!

hope you get to feeling better. your ADR's look great to me too! we will be there the 3rd-10th. maybe we will bump into each other

Well, we LIKE the late ressies as we are on West Coast time so a 9:00pm dinner ressie is like eating at 6:00pm on our body clocks. I bet I would have been out of luck if I wanted something between 5:00 and 8:00.

Thanks for the get well wishes. Not exactly how I thought I would spend my 4th of July. The funny thing is I started getting sick just before midnight last Friday night. I was in severe pain and yet in true DIS fashion I looked up at the clock and said out loud, "Gosh darn it! I only have to wait 3 more hours and I can make my ADR's!! I wish the pain could hold off a bit longer!!" Ended up I had a surprise hernia and part of my small bowel had gone inside the hole and was being constricted, which explained the lovely non-stop vomiting ! 4 hours of surgery and 5 nights in the hospital and I am ready to go to DISNEY WORLD!!!

Looks like we will have lot's of company at the Sports! We are going to try for a room in the basketball building per my son's request.

Go to Disneyworld.com and click on planning and then park hours and enter your arrival date and it will show you the hours for the next 10 days.

I'm thinking of waiting to buy my MNSSHP tickets until I get down there. Is this total insanity?

Not insane as long as you are Ok with the chance that tickets could sell out . I am on the fence about attending as my boys are 13 and 16 and it would mostly be for ME that we would attend but $150 is a big chunk of money!

Anyone know where the hours for the parades, fireworks, and fantasmic are on the disney website? I looked all over last night and only found the actual park hours. TIA.

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

if you click on the individual days of your trip, most but not all daily thigns are listed. mk the parades arent but i think it is for hs. i think the better of the two is the travel agent website.

Only a fellow DISer can understand where you're coming from on this!

Not that we're big football fans (heck, I'm actually not a fan of sports period!), but if left up to me, I'm thinking of requesting the Touchdown section as I've heard its practically as close to the bus stop/food court as the preferred rooms (Surf's Up, I think), but you don't have to pay the extra price.

One tip re: the Touchdown building. Ask for a room NOT facing the "football" field. I had friends that had a room that overlooked the field and the constant noise from people playing on it at all hours, even though there were signs asking you to be quiet after 10:00, made them switch rooms. Plus there were actual high school football teams staying there who held mini-practices on it at the crack of dawn!!

My thinking is, if it is sold out, I probably don't want to be there that night anyhow.

You're boys still want to go to Disney! DH keeps telling me that this is the last year that DD11 will want anything to do with it. We must go to "the place that must not be named"from now on. Boy, does he have another thing comin'!
