Looks good over there. :)

We are going to try Cinderella's Royal Table this time as well. I think we will try for lunch, I hope we both get in. :)

That is the one I am most worried about. I don't know if I should start straight off with asking about like the last friday of our week or just start with day one and go from there. I'm thinking start with last friday and work backwards. I really really want to eat in the castle.

When you call, ask for CRT first. Remember everyone else who is calling is most likely doing the same thing for you timeframe! Be flexible in your time & day & you'll probably get in. I didn't try for breakfast at all & I believe I was able to change my lunch to another day after the first time I called.

Good luck on Sunday! I'll be thinking of you...well actually I'll be sleeping, but I'll be thinking of you when I wake up!

Best of luck to you on Sunday, Catherine...No LeCellier? personnally if you want to eat in Epcot, I would give up the Garden grill and go with one of the countries...like LeCellier...or Mexico..or even the Coral Reef.
I haven't heard too many good things about the Garden Grill lately....but they do have a great "wedding renewal" thingy there....it's a hoot!

hmm. That's not so good about the garden grill. I tried mexico before but it is just so bland as compared to the tex-mex we have here in texas I know not to book that one. We'd both complain the whole time.

I also thought about le cellier but we have steak all over the place here so I wasn't sure if that was the way to go. I mean I know there are other things they serve there but everyone recommends the steak that it seems silly to eat it there when we eat it at home alot.

I might think about coral reef though. I usually don't hear much about it so I didn't even think about adding it.

We LOVED Coral Reef! I'd highly recommend it! I know I talked about it in my trip report & even posted photos! Going there in April too. I think you guys would like it!

Sooo....did you get your ADRs??? Or should I go check your blog???

[m 'n c]

I'm going to post this morning. It took a while for me to drive home last night and I went pretty much straight to bed once I got in.

[Magical JenK]

I saw that on the other thread ("Should I call...")....I can't wait to hear what you got!! Post when you can!!

Here we go!

It was so easy yesterday that I wished I hadn't stressed out all weekend over it. I'm glad I was also able to remain polite and chit chat with the CM during the process. I hear some people just start in the minute they call for Cindy's without even a good morning but I figured starting off their day and mine with some rudeness was not worth eating at the castle as we had some pretty good backups planned just in case. So luckily I made a good choice and started both our days off right and got what I wanted.

New blog post. Help me decide for tomorrow!!

I'm with Heather. I like the idea of upgrading to a Mod!

[wilsonfamily4]

I guess I am all for saving. If I knew I had just lost $800 and would possibly need to start saving for a wedding/honeymoon I think I would save that. You will have fun no matter where you stay. But my mood may change and tomorrow I would say heck with go to a mod. :)

Yup the practical side of me came out and Mike's continued instance on staying at a value won out and we just did an upgrade from a Std to a preferred room (well its all they had available) so we are both excited and looking forward to ASMovies. Glad I was able to book online this morning because I still can't get through on the phones. If I depended on the phones I might not even get that resort.
