Excitement Continues

Nearing the end of the trip planning, things are getting hectic. Several conflicts that need to be resolved or I will not have a chance to ascend to the higher level of existence within the pantheon of the Disboards Greats. I called up WDW, yet again, and shuffled Whispering Canyon date around. 1900 Park Fare also was putting a kink into the smooth flow of the day, so I moved it to another date. Alas, the time I got was 7:50 PM ressie. This is bad.

Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

Today I booked a new Crystal Palace ressie and cancelled the existing one, only to find out that there is a conflict in trip plan with something else. While I had the CM on the phone, I booked another Crystal Palace ressie and cancelled the one I just booked. Trip Planning For Dummies. That is me. Today, we also booked Family Magic Tour.

More Changes!

Today, yet more fiddling around with the trip plan. K and I, after reading the reviews, decided to drop Coral Reef for parents' night out, and instead go with a ressie at Artist Point. Also shuffled 1900 Park Fare to another date and booked Whispering Canyon. Later in the day, called up Fairy Godmother to book in-room childcare for the parents' night out.

Where Did My Money Go?

After paying for the package yesterday, we are now officially Disney Poor.

Room-Only to Package

After looking at our food budget for the trip, I came to the conclusion that it is actually cheaper to pay the package+dining than to pay everything separately. So, changed it to WL package + 7 days park hopper + dining. At this time, we booked 1900 Park Fare dinner at 5:30 PM and cancelled Donald Restaurantosaurus. The girls want more princesses. I need a princess detox session after this trip.

Oops - Conflict

Discovered a conflict in scheduling. Asked Daughter A which one she wants to do, Pirates Adventure or Wonderland Tea Party. She chose Wonderland Tea Party. So, off to the 800# I go to cancel the Pirates Adventure.

CRT FINALLY! Thank you, Minnie824!

I was still not too happy with my CRT at 12:15 PM. Just so happen I saw a posting by another Disboarder Minnie824 who wants to cancel a CRT ressie for party of 4 for 8:10 AM during a day that we will be in WDW! I sent her a PM and off we went arranging a good time for the exchange of the ill-gotten goods. She said she'll be finished with a luncheon meeting at 1 PM. So, I gave her couple minutes and started to call at 1:02 PM. Nothing was available. I hung up and tried again. Still nothing. At this time, Minnie824 sent me a PM saying that she was running late and she was calling right away. I called WDW again. Still nothing. I told the CM my situation and asked her to try again. She did and this time it popped up! CRT at 8:10 AM, 50 minutes before the park opens! Will be nice to take some non-crowded pictures. Thank you, Minnie824 , thank you.

Minor Shufflings

Minor changes today. Shuffled Wonderland Tea Party around and booked Pirates Adventure.

CRT AGAIN!

Decided to try CRT lunch instead of CRT breakfast. With a 9:45 AM breakfast seating, we will be wasting valuable morning park hours. So, again, up at crack of dawn and started wardialing WDW. Was on hold for about twenty minutes this time and started to worry about not getting anything. Thankfully, I was wrong. Got a CRT for 12:15 PM, Wonderland Tea Party, and shuffled Crystal Palace to another date and time. Later on in the afternoon I called again. This time, booked Coral Reef (for parents' night out) for 5:10 PM and Donald Restausantosaurus for 8 AM. Due to some scheduling changes, cancelled Princess Storybook Dining.
