ADR'S
Django: [to Remmy] Food is fuel. You get picky about what you put in the tank, your engine is gonna die.
The time came for me to make my adr's. Can you believe that I actually forgot about it until the night before!?!?! In my defense though we had just moved and things were still a bit chaotic in our house. Jon loves the above quote because for him food is fuel. To him the way food is presented is just as important as how it tastes. He is pretty adventurous and will try anything once. He used to work in a deli in Montreal that sold food from around the world and he loved to try it all. If the atmosphere in a restaurant does not compliment the whole mood of the place he doesn't enjoy it. I asked him if he wanted to help plan our trip and he said no. I asked him if he had any requests and he had only two. The first was that we would have one sit down meal a day and the second was that we would have plenty of down time. He did say that if on our down days we felt like going to a park we could but he at least wanted them scheduled. So for that reason I am planning a break everyday, some days with nothing and some half days. We do have PH's and I am planing on upgrading to AP's when we are there. If I can keep Jon well fed and well rested we will have a good vacation. If he isn't either one of these he gets his Grumpy/Donald on and it isn't pleasant. So in order to keep him well fed here here is our ADR list.
Sunday, November 28 ~ Arrival day ~ No adr's planned. We land in Orlando at 1:20pm. I don't know what we will do. We may hang out at the resort or go to Downtown Disney. We may head over to the Magic Kingdom and just take in everything. MK closes at 7pm because there is a MVMCP that night.
You NEED to come to MK this day. It's the only day our schedules match up.
Monday, November 29 ~ Akershus @ 10:40pm ~ I had originally had Beirgarten on this day but my daughter mentioned eating with the princesses so I had to change our adr's around. I really only am interested in breakfast here. I figure we can do rope drop and then head over here. Is this doable?
I think it's totally doable. In that 1:40, you can easily get in Nemo, Soarin, FP for Soarin and probably a set for TT on your way to eat.
Tuesday, November 30 ~ Crystal Palace @ 8:05am ~ I am really looking forward to spending the day here. I am looking forward to seeing how Jon and Lexi react to everything. If Jon's reaction is similar to when I took him to see the ocean for the first time it will be a lot of fun.
There's nothing like walking down Main Street at 8 am with no one on it!
Wednesday, December 1 ~ Sci-Fi @ 11:25am ~ I am not tied to this adr so if you have any suggestions for plans (especially due to tomorrows plan) feel free to suggest away.
I haven't eaten there in years, but I loved. I am a big fan of the lunch ADR despite what TGM says. It works well for the younger crew.
Thursday, December 2 ~ Brown Derby @ 3:35pm ~ This is our Famtasmic evening. I booked the package and this is the only time I could get. This is a free morning. We can do whatever we want and then head to MGM for our adr and hang out until Fantasmic.
Friday, December 3 ~ Boma @ 4:45pm ~ I have us at MK in the morning and the afternoon off. I really don't remember why I had it planned this way.
Saturday, December 4 ~ Yak & Yeti @ 12:30pm ~ We are at AK all day.
Sunday, December 5 ~ Chef Mickey's @ 10:40am ~ This is our MVMCP evening. We are sleeping in and resting. We plan on heading over to the MK around 4.
We are doing breakfast there for the first time this year. Like the pp, I am hoping that it's better than dinner!
Maybe we'll see each other at CR?
Monday, December 6 ~ Le Cellier @ 6:40pm ~ Epcot all day.
LC, there's nothing like that cheese soup and pretzel bread!
Tuesday, December 7 ~ 50's Prime Time @ 4:10pm ~ MGM today, would like to see Osborn Lights tonight.
This was a favorite of my DH. It was one of his top requests to get back to! Order the fried chicken. YUM!
Wednesday, December 8 ~ Biergarten @ 4:20pm ~ Epcot today
Nadda, but brook and family RAVED.
Thursday, December 9 ~ 'Ohana @ 5:05pm~ Break day
We are doing Ohana for the first time this trip.
Friday, December 10 ~ Liberty Tree Tavern @ 11:30am ~ Kona @ 7:05pm ~ This is the only day we have two adr's. We are at MK this day.
I don't know much about LTT lunch menu, but the photos make it look amazing! Kona's dinner -- my absolute favorite of our last trip. Actually today I was trying to figure how to squeeze in an out of pocket meal there!
Saturday, December 11 ~ Tusker House @ 10:40am ~ We are AK this day.
Don't know much about this one either.
Sunday, December 12 ~ No adr's ~ Our departure day I am hoping for a late flight so we can go to a park in the am, but I haven't bought our tickets yet.
I am also considering doing a dessert party on Saturday night. I think it would be a good way to end our vacation. Do you all agree or have any other suggestions?
I am not necessarily really happy with our last weeks plans. I don't really know why, maybe because I don't know what I am doing. Do any of you have any suggestions?
