This time our son is coming too! Final update at last!

[Happy Elf]

I'm here! Glad Declan gets to go on this trip! Looking forward to hearing about your plans!

[CanadianWDWfan]

Awww, I could have won the car because I live in Canada...but I guess I am too late and missed out....page 2...

Just my luck for joining in late.

I didn't know you were going to WDW so close to us.
My original plans would have put me there the same time as you.
We could have had a DIS meet at "our home" LeCellier.

I can sympathize with you, I am also waiting for the August hours.
I got up this morning and thought for sure they would be there, no such luck.
I need to make my ADR plans too and they are not helping.
Come on Disney....

Your ADR's look great! I hope you get them.

It should be fun going with newbie's, you will be a great help to them I'm sure.

I look forward to some fantastic pics!

I can't wait for Pooksma's pre-trip shopping and packing pics.

I had a lot of fun on the last TR, this one should be fun too!

Glad to have you back. Declan is pretty happy to be going but he still doesn't know about last summer.

The shopping has already started. Too bad we'll miss each other. We never miss a trip to le Cellier.

Declan liked it. I also have an Andy Wharhol like picture that he thought was quite funny.

As you may or may not know, declansdad to take pictures. While I prefer not to be a part of the visual, I do like seeing our memories preserved. Looking forward to sharing this experience with a great friend and her family.

I can share some good Disney World hiding places with you.

Okay, so where's the shopping pics?

Still waiting for thoses August park hours......

[brookelizabeth]

Your ADRs look really good. The Ohana breakfast has me dreaming...I love me some breakfast, and I love me some Ohana (despite my Great Ohana Debacle back in November 2008, but we just won't talk about that!).

I've heard excellent reviews of it's breakfast...

Have you ever been to Beaches & Cream? As you might recall from my TR-we give it two thumbs up!

I love the movie poster of your DS, it's adorable!

Have only picked up a couple of tees but I'll try to post pics in the next day or so. DS hasn't even seen them yet

We love the Ohana breakfast-the pineapple bread and "Stitch Juice" are big favs with DS.

We are actually considering B&C for a meal. Is it better to go for early supper (5ish) or late lunch (1:30) do you think?

No one can hide from my camera; but do I have the courage to post them.

Aug 10th - O'Hana for breakfast with Lilo and the Gang

Aug 10th - Rose & Crown for a nice English dinner and an ale or two

Aug 11th - A trip to the Whispering Canyon for a cowboy dinner

Aug 12th - a lunch at Tusker House, a first for all of us

Aug 13th - the Fantasmic Package at Hollywood and Vine

Aug 14th - For us breakfast with Mary Poppins at 1900 Park Fare and for the newbies, breakfast with the Princesses at Akershus

Aug 15th - Crystal Palace breakfast before the official park opening

Aug 15th - Under the sea at the Coral Reef for dinner

Aug 16th - Dinner with Mickey and the Gang at Chef Mickey's

Aug 17th - Our visit home, Le Cellier for lunch


Now we just need to send them off to Liz and see if she can work her usual magic.

Your ADR schedule looks great. Just thinking about the places you listed made me hungry. It was a good mix of good food and characters.

We have a few of the same places, but maybe not for the same meals. We're doing Crystal Palace and Whispering Canyon for dinner and lunch, and we're doing the H&V package, too.

Looks good to me. I'm sure it helps the excitement to build a little for all of you.

I really hate that we are missing you guys by only a week. I'll be back in school, but just knowing my friends are hanging out down there having fun will help make my days happier!

Help! How do you know which nights have Fantasmic? I can't see where it's listed.

Your ADR's do look Yummy! Hope she can work her magic and you get every one.

Use this link to go to the calendar and click on a day. The daily view shows you what is scheduled for that day. I beleive it is scheduled for Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Any day the park is open until 9.

[CanadianWDWfan]

Thanks so much! You are the best!

(I feel like a real dummy for not figuring that out for myself) As my brother would say " a dumb blonde moment"

Thanks for the link, it made it so much faster to get there this morning.

Have a great day!
