Bearing in mind that we have Mil who sometimes gets a bit done in, and 3 kids, I have tried not to make too many days too 'full on', and a lot of evenings, though I have restaurant choice there, the option to stay at the villa and chill is also there.

I would love to make some more ADR's - the menus I have drooled over are fab, but I don't think its wise to do so as its likely we will end up missing at least some, plus there are a lot of off site restaurants we want to try too:D

Sounds lovely and you have given me an idea for another restaurant we haven't tried yet - Sweet Tomatoes. Do you know if there is one on the 192?

[wilma-bride]

Looks good Sue :thumbs-up A good mix of stuff and busy/quieter days. Like the look of Sat 14th October ;)

ETA, have you got plans for dinner on MNSSHP night or are you going to eat at the villa before you go? A lot of places aren't open during the party so you might struggle to find somewhere your 'fussy lot' will eat unless you make an ADR.

[PixieDustMum]

Im amazed you can hold on so long to go to magic kingdom, even if it is probably the sensible thing to do :)

It looks a great plan though, wish my countdown was only 173 days

[Sean_and_Sue]

Hiya Michelle - there is a web site for Sweet Tomatoes, gives 3 locations in Orlando - not sure if any are close to 192, but check it out - the menu looks fab:D

Yep Joh - liking the look of that one too:D:D:D Planning afternoon of snacking and early tea - hopefully, that will hold the gang for MNSSHP:D

PixiedustMum - I suspect on the 13th, we will actually spend a lot longer in MK - because of that, have left it long enough, I hope, for Mil to get over any jet lag - she really enjoyed MK on her first visit, so I don't want her to be too tired to enjoy it:) The half day options throughout can be changed if the gang are all up to it, to full days - I have just planned it like this so the option to take it easy is there, if necessary:D

Love Suexx

Oops - edit - got dates for one meet mixed up - think I've got it right now:blush:

[loadsapixiedust]

Thought you'd forgotten us there Sue :( Really looking forward to meeting you all.

I just knew there would be more ADR's, they are nearly as addictive as Dibbing! You have some good choices there :D

[Sean_and_Sue]

Lol Lynn - Of course I hadn't forgotten you:omg: Just for some reason had written down the meet on the wrong date:blush: Its a wonder thats the only mistake I made, to be honest - I have 2 notebooks full of details, 2 large sheets of paper with lists of what to do when on, 3 versions of the itinery marked out onto large sheets divided into day by day squares, a load of notes on restaurants, an equal ammount filled with Dibb tips...................I'm amazed that I managed to put together something that seems (so far) to suit all the gang from the jumble of info I had to hand:pgig:
