The Lucky Number 7 Trip Report (which wasn't so lucky)!! - UPDATED 11/24 About This Page:

[DyanKJ130]

Your ADRs look great, Marnie! We've only tried the Plaza on your list, but we enjoyed it! Glad you were able to secure your flights on SWA. Gone are the days of the $49 flights Can't wait to hear more

[SouthernBelle]

Marnie,

Great start to what sounds like will be a wonderful trip and an extra day at Disney just adds to the magic!!!!

WHOA look at that countdown, 10 days and you will be there! Save me a Dole Whip!!!

[karmic]

So glad to see you have started your report. I have been looking for it. Looking forward to more!

[TheMadonna3]

WOW! How cool about the way this trip came about.

Can't wait to see how it all unfolds. We'll be leaving on the 17th. Do any of our plans cross by chance?

Can't wait to hear the rest of your plans-hurry baaaaaaack please!!

Just a few more days for an update! Thanks on the advice about the lotto ticket and Kona

That's what I'm hoping for...a much more go with the flow vacation

Thanks Peggy!!

Looking forward to more details!

Me too

I guess I never looked at it as bad luck turning into good luck Works for me

It's nice when you don't have a sit down meal planned for each night because then you can have the freedom to park hop wherever you feel like depending on the crowd levels and get a lot of ride time in too!!!

That's what I'm hoping for this trip (to not be tied down) I agree, the days of $100 airfare RT are long gone But it's nice to hope though

Looking forward to more...can't wait to see where you will stay for that extra night.

Thanks!! I should be updating in a day or two

I'm glad you got some decent flight times, at a half-decent price.

I know, I just realized that today...no character and no buffet. I'm debating seeing if we can get into Cape May Cafe our last morning, but at this point, I'm not going to sweat it

So glad you started your TR Marnie... can't wait to read all about it when you get back...

Maybe we'll run into you....I'm not planning much of anything at this point and we're just going to go with the flow

[Cam22]

Marnie, I just noticed that you had started your TR. It definitely seems that this trip is lucky and full of 7s so far. The Plaza is on our list of restaurants still to do. I can't wait to hear how you all like it.

[I live with a 'Stitch'!]

Glad I found your pre-TR Marnie! Really fun so far; I can't wait to hear the rest of your plans! I'm so jealous of the awesome deals you got .

[Luvsun]

I love your ADRs! I think you will love Kona! And I just tried the Plaza for the first time in June and loved it!!!
Adding on another day is always great!
We love using DME - I definitely recommend it - so I am interested to see what you guys are doing!
Looking forward to more!

[lexiemom]

Your trip has a lot in common with my sister and I's Girls Only trip in September. We will be staying at POFQ for the first time and eating at Kona Cafe and The Plaza for the first time.

Can't wait to hear your reviews on them!!

More Please.

[amandal]

You guys will like Kona, Marnie. We tried it for the first time in Sept and were quite impressed. Love the "less is more" ADR mentality!!! Can't wait for the next update

[mestitch]

Hey Marnie !! All caught up!!
Hope we'll run into each other at POFQ. I'm sure you'll really enjoy staying there !
And you know we love us some Yak and Yeti
I'm glad you were able to get "lucky" and have this trip come together

[patclairesmom]

Glad you got to add on an extra day! That always seems to happen to me, flights are cheaper in the middle of the week, so ooops, have to add on a day at Disney. Can't wait to hear more.
