Well, I'm late to the party so it took me a while to catch up. Now I'm really stuffed from all the snacks, and maybe a little tipsy too! I have to keep up with this PTR so I won't get confused from all the changes!

I would think you'd be able to get Grandma to Chef Mickey's with you-each time I've eaten there I've never seen something smaller than a 4-top. I could be wrong though.
I see you're also having a final meal @ Concourse Steakhouse-isn't that a shame that we're losing such a fine establishment?

I wish you were coming down just a few days earlier than we could meet in person.....what a riot that would be.

I'm not even going to try and touch the trivia because I haven't got a clue.

May I have another mudslide now? BTW-you're the hostest with the mostest!!
Yeah I'm going to miss the Concourse we went for the 1st time in September but are glad we can have one more meal there!

Update 3/31



Today we are serving up some No Way Jose Sunday's
We hope you enjoy it!!!!

So Before I continue for those who thought those ADR's would be settled upon sorry to disappoint you but we made a slight change to one of them!

My mom and grandma looked at the menu for Kona Cafe and felt that it was nice, but with us dining at Ohana's we wanted to try somewhere else. Well since we wanted to see SpectroMagic at least 1 time this trip we changed our Kona Reservation to........



Tony's Town Square !!!!!!

So this brings us to our plans for the trip! Its our Rough Draft of an Itineraray of sorts. we won't be spending a lot of time in the parks the first few days, and when we do go to the parks we will not be commandos by any means, we want to enjoy the small things, show grandma the new things she hasn't seen, and just enjoy a nice trip!

So without further ado our Itinerary!

May 11th Pre Departure Day
Our flight leaves early tomorrow morning so after celebrating Mother's day at my Aunt's we will stay at her house since she lives 10 minutes from the airport!

May 12th- Flying to Orlando Day!!!
Fly to Orlando from CT
Mom and grandma will handle luggage
Amy will get the Rental Car and pick up everyone at arrivals
Drive to the hotel and Check in
Have lunch at the Food Court
Head off Property and look at 1 or 2 apartments

May 14th
Breakfast at the hotel
Head off Property if we need to look at more places (if not we will hit a park)
Dinner is at 1900 Park Fare

May 15th
Breakfast at the Hotel
Depends on if we are done looking at apartments if we are then we will hit a park if not then off property to look
Dinner is at Tony's Town Sqaure
SpectroMagic has 2 showings we will hit rides during the 1st one, watch wishes, then watch the 2nd parade

May 16th
Breakfast at the hotel
Hopefully we can hit a park today but if not we continue the apt. search!

Lunch: early at Studio Catering or Flatbread Grill (is that the name of it?? its by the HISTK play area)
Afternoon: Muppets, Art of Animation, One Man's Dream and the GMR
We will try to catch Block Party Bash
Dinner at Spoodle's is early
Pleasure Island tonight for a Kungaloosh! yes we are taking a 80 something lady Clubbing....

May 19th
Breakfast at Tusker House for Donald's Safari Breakfast
Morning: Kilimanjaro Safari, Pangani Trail, Marajah Trek and EE(for mom and I)
We will hit the Finding Nemo Show, and the FOTL either before or after Lunch

Evening: Park hopping to another park.

May 20th Our last Park day (
Breakfast at the hotel

Morning: Splash Mtn. , POTC, Tiki birds, Country Bears, we will hit Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents before lunch
Lunch: Columbia Harbour House
After Lunch: Philharmagic, Buzz Lightyear, Laugh Floor and COP
We will leave by around 6:30 and head over to EPCOT
Dinner is at Teppan Edo

May 21st :Going back to CT
Breakfast at the hotel
Pack up and check out of the hotel
DTD to shop for souvinears
Late lunch
Return the car rental and check in at the airport
Cry all the way home.

So really the first few days we will be taking our time finding a nice place for me to live, after our day looking for apartments we plan on taking it easy at the hotel, swim, maybe hit DTD or if we feel up to it we will hit a park at night for a few hours.

If we find that we don't have to keep looking for a place then we will just look at park hours and hit a park instead. So really while i have an idea of what will go on, its up in the air!

Up Next ...I bet you didn't see this coming now did ya????
