Do They Know Its Christmas - NO! A Surprise PTR

[cdsmiler81]

Oh gosh we didn't find it great. Bit meh but maybe it was an off day. Some of the characters just didn't bother much. A pat on the head and they were off! But let me tell you about the cheesecake. It was the best ever! I made up for a middling experience by eating €59.50s worth of cheesecake

Shhhhhh. lol We're having the dinner rather than the brunch. Not sure how different the range is........ I love cheesecake though, so I'll stock up!!! hehe

On a serious note though, I mentioned my gut feeling worry about it last night (he's a picky eater too and I was worried about things not being labelled properly - as people have mentioned on here) but he looked online at pictures and as it's our last trip to DLP for a while (sob! ) and has decided we'll give it a go as we've never done it before! (And our budget covers it!)

Definitely go for it! I reckon we just choose an off day or time but I would give it another go as opposed to Plaza Gardens which is forever off the list! The CMs in inventions were great but in PG we got the snottiest waitress ever! Things were labelled pretty well when we visited inventions, quite a lot of fish dishes but great steak too.

Lol fingers crossed the hubs doesn't suffocate in the box
I'll just put a few air holes in the side. Be grand!
I need to plan it out a bit more. Still a bit sketchy on it but that's the rough idea! Was thinking about using YouTube to tell them but we'll figure it out!

Hey Rach
I think I'll just buy blinkers for our Cheyenne stay in March and put them on before we pass the DLH!
I ordered a coat for Jem although I may change it for another colour as it doesn't match her hat & gloves! Managed to tick loads of the list the past few days. And as soon as the kids get back to school I should have a couple of weeks before college starts so I can print their bits for their surprise without being rumbled and I'll make sure to post photos.
How was Liverpool?

Have to love Marty McFly! They just don't make good films like that anymore!
Ah I love the whole Western theme. I just hope we get a better room then 2011. It was a bit shabby but hey its dlp!
Glad you enjoyed Liverpool. We were there a few years ago and had great fun. Loads of cocktails which led to a new tattoo! I'd love a nice cocktail now! You've put the want on me!!
And July seems to be less mental then August to visit.
Love making the most of those APS

Great start your reveal sounds so exciting :-D. Can't believe I will miss you by a couple of days! :-( loving that your dh is joining you....I have a similar dh who just doesn't get it :'( really looking forward to hearing how your plans evolve...
.may even start on my own ptr too ;-)

 

[Isila]

Lol and we weren't impressed with Restaurant des Stars!!!!! I think that's the problem with buffets - they can be variable - I'm just hoping that Inventions will be good (for the price, it better had be!!).

C x

One time it was great, the other not so. But only due to theme and character interaction. Magical forest was fantastic and Marry Poppins no too good. But food was wonderful both times.

Pizza planet was never open in March on any our visits (that's in 4 years), so I don't put my hopes high for this visit too.

Never been to Agrabah cafe, it's been open, it's been open in March, but I always doubt about the food and if my boys will find something to eat.

I prefer Restaurant des stars to plaza gardens. As plaza gardens is always so crowded.

Hey Jo!
I know it's such a pity we won't be there at the same time :-(
Did you get an email from Aer Lingus? They are now doing night before check in and bag drop! I'm seriously debating it. I reckon it'll be much quieter then that morning and I love anything that makes things less stressful! My only concern is my make up but I'll look at sizes and that.
Go on!! Start your ptr!!
What will we do with these men at all!?
Thanks so much for following along xxx

We are the same with Agrabah. I just don't know if the kids would eat very much. I'd love to try it though!
Cafe Mickey is DHs least favourite restaurant but the kids love it. Too many choices! I'm thinking on King Ludwigs too. We had two great meals there.

 

[Isila]

We'll be doing at least one character meal. I doubt it's going to be Inventions. I'd love to do Sunday brunch, but I'm not sure if we're staying on Sunday and what the theme is and if newbies are ready to pay that much money.
Also I was thinking about booking a simple Inventions dinner as I expect food to be better than at Mickey's cafe. But on the other hand why not give MC a chance? Price would be good, food can be so so, but the characters would be practically the same. And I just don't want to be seated in that glass area So, I'm not sure. Depends on what our other trip cast members will say and how much money I will save.

I'm glad we tried Hakuna Matata on our last visit - food was great

And I think we'll do restaurant des stars even without Remy. I like the food there. Because I'm not sure where else to eat at studios

 

[Aschenputtel]

Following along! You're one of my planning role models on these boards here! I hope I did at least something right for our trip ;-) I'm very excited it's only 9 days away (I will write a trip report, but I'm currently learning for one of my exams, so you have to wait a bit ;-)).

Have you looked at Chez Remy?
I think I'll just force DH to come to Cafe Mickeys I'll buy him a beer in The Sports Bar 1st to make him less sassy!

Aaaawh Thanks so much! I'm actually blushing! I just love being organised!! DH is super laid back so one of us needs to be! Ok maybe I'm just a control freak
So looking forward to your TR. I'll be patiently waiting by the laptop! Where are you staying?
Best of luck with your exams! This time next month I'll be starting back to college after 9 years! Yay for poor students
Have a great trip

Oh forgot to add, hoping to get loads done and do a proper update this weekend!
DH is away to Prague in the morning for his friends stag so I'll be home alone geeking up on DLP, making plans and watching films with the kids. I'm thinking the classics, the kids need a good Disney education! Maybe Snow White and Pinocchio and possibly Aladdin.

Aaaaaaand only 95 sleeps to go

Rosebug has only recently watched Snow White for the first time. She loved it! She is also a huge Pinocchio fan!

I can't bring myself to watch Aladdin atm.

I just want to reminisce. It and Mrs Doubtfire were my two favourites when I was DDs age. Such a loss.
DS is fond of Pinocchio too! They sung I got no strings for his Christmas play so he's been keen to watch it since. Himself and RoseBug are close in age too. He will be 6 the end of January. It's a great age. He's just hilarious atm! Lying like a pro about the funniest things! He convinced my niece that our cat lost an ear fighting. How do they even think of these things!?

That's it ^^^
I must admit I've not seen Hercules! I really need to. Or Meet The Robinsons. I'm slacking big style!
James has Ratatouille on repeat lately. We need some diversity!
I'd say one cocktail and I would be on the floor. My last proper night out was April. Went out with my friends from school for dinner and drinks. Very classy Was getting sick in the bath by 2 am! ! xxx
