You know you want to.....After all, WWAMD? (What would Auntie Mame do?)

Ok, a few of these may change (again!), but here is the latest version:

California Grill 5/13 9:30pm
Garden Grill 5/14 11:30
Marrakesh 5/15 6:00 pm
Coral Reef 5/17 12pm
Boma 5/18 7pm
Crystal Palace 5/19 10:25 am
Whispering Canyon 5/20 5:30pm
Restaurantasaurus 5/21 10:30am

I'm fairly certain that Restaurantasaurus will change, as I'm not that thrilled with it and it's the same characters from the Garden Grill, but I'm not sure what I'll change it to. We may not go to California Grill, depending on weather or not we want to keep the Indi up that before an MK day. We may do Downtown Disney instead (that's the day we fly in). We also may do something for breakfast on our flying out day. Where are you guys eating?

We just saved a thousand dollars by deciding to get an AP for the room discount and get the DDE card instead of the dining plan. I'm pretty happy about that. Right now I'm just working on specific itineraries for each day.

Isn't 76 days 21 hours 12 minutes and 36 seconds enough time?

True... I just got a passholder email. Last night I pulled up AKL poolside rooms for 6 nights at a little over $1K.

SacTown Chronic · 02-25-2006, 07:18 AM

Looks like Sam is totally gonna be there.

Scrooge McSam · 02-25-2006, 07:25 AM

Shhhh I'm working on it. I'm working on it.

The problem is I wanted to do DL first before doing WDW again.

Scrooge McSam · 02-25-2006, 08:23 AM

There should be a place for this little piece of info, but I'll be hanged if I know where it is... so it's going here.

Wilderness Lodge Rm. 1608 - The ultimate Disney geek room!

On my recent trip down, we were lucky enough to be placed here. I expected the room to be good, as I'm familiar with the property layout, and walking down the hall I realized we would be facing the MK. But I wasn't prepared for what I'd see when I opened the door. We had the most perfect view through the pine trees of the monorails gliding into the Contemporary resort with the MK sitting just behind that and to the left. We spent a good deal of that rainy afternoon just soaking in the view. My mom said "We waited WAY too long to take you to Disneyland, didn't we?"

Later that night as I was enjoying the lights on the castle, I heard faintly from across the Seven Seas lagoon "Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages...". As I was telling Leo in PM shortly afterwards, I nearly wet myself.

So anybody thinking of joining this little soiree, WL1608 may just be the ticket for you.

Yep, we're paying $170/night before tax for that same room. We were going to do standard view for $149/night and hope for an upgrade, but decided at the last minute that we really didn't want to risk looking at the parking lot. I'm still not so secretly hoping that they'll upgrade us to savannah view, but if not that's ok too. I figure that with seven times as many savannah views as standard/pool, there's at least a chance.

It's hard to find enough time to visit DL and WDW. We hope to make it to DL at least for a few days in December.
