ADR's at long last FINALIZED! Yippee!

whitba · 08-05-2008

I'm sure most of us are in a similar boat, you start your ADR's at 7AM (or 8 or 9 depending on your time zone) at the 180 day mark - trying to nail your #1's (CRT or Le Cellier

). You schedule according to your early plans, then you start refining. Several edits and phone calls later...

Well! I just got off the phone for the last time - Narcosses! Because we're a group of 8, I had to call the restaurant directly (last Thurs) and I finally got the confirmation call tonight. Our schedule is now FINAL!

Sat > arrive mid-day, no specific plans, relax at POR
Sun > Chef Mickey's for breakfast & Narcosses 51st Anniversary Celebration for M&FIL 6 PM
Mon > ‘Ohana followed by the Magical Fireworks Voyage
Tue > Character Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern & MNSSHP
Wed > Le Cellier 6:30 - I still can't believe I got it!
Thu > Segway Tour 7:45 (an early morning boys!) & Coral Reef for lunch
Fri > Tappen Edo for an early dinner
Sat > Chef d’ France for lunch - Gramma's special request & Raglan Rd for a late bite before our first (and last

) trip to the Adventurers Club
Sun > Yak & Yeti 2:30
Mon > Leave Early (we're not thinking about that yet

)

The Gang will be myself, DH, DS's, BIL & Friend, MIL & FIL. It will likely be my in-laws last trip. They won't be able to do it all but we wanted to hit their wish list as much as possible. Almost there and can't wait.

Change the Narcoosees to 7 PM if you can! You can watch Wishes from there.

Your plans look very good, you have some nice restaurants on your list. I'm sad for you planning what could be your in-law's last trip, I know that day come for all of us but it's still sad.

**Dana** · 08-05-2008

Congrats! Great meals scheduled for that trip! Planning always pays off when you want the good places.

Food Pic's, well that's the hard part... I'm always 4th bite in when I remember, and yes, DH thinks I'm nuts too.

Could you share what's involved in the Magical Fireworks Voyage?

You meet at the Contemporary where there is a mini buffet of snacks. Fruit and cookies. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee meet you, then you board a boat and head out to the 7 Seas Lagoon and watch the fireworks.

It's 32.99 for adults and 14.99 for kids.

I think Captain Hook & Smee are part of the Grand Gathering voyage. Because of several changes in our plans, people going... not going... we decided to just book the boat independently in case we fell below the minimum 8 people, so we won't have the prirates. The Grand Gathering was $39 / person and the basic Wishes cruise is $240 with soda and bagged snacks ($30/person if we have 8) and we don't have to worry about someone cancelling.

You can add decorations and piped in music for an additional fee, of course.

You are going to one of my favorite's. Ohana's and Crystal Palace are my Sit down's in Disney World! You have got to get the Creme Brulee @ Le Cellier. I was wondering @ Le Cellier can get Dessert to go ?

jenbarnwell · 08-06-2008

Your adr's sound great. A bunch of my favorites. Have a great time. Can't wait to see how the magical voyage was. Take pictures!
