We're Disney Bound

So Erin and I chatted for two hours on the phone last night. Surprisingly our topics of conversation did not result in hours of Disney talk OR slinging insults at each other. Sometimes we can be a bit mature.

However towards the end Erin did mention that she wanted to meet Chef Mickey if it was possible. Considering she's a chef and I've always gotten her a Chef Mickey something when I go down to Disney she just assumed there was a shop that had the big cheese for photos. No such luck - there's just the resteraunt Chef Mickey's.

I've never wanted to eat at the Contemporary (well except for Cali Grill but until I become a billionare...) but since I get to eat with Donald Duck at the Animal Kingdom it's only fair she gets to eat with Chef Mickey.

Problem was that we are down to a month and six days and Chef Mickey's is incredibly popular. I was worried we wouldn't be able to get the day that we had open. It just happens to be our first day and we are planning a day at the Magic Kingdom. Thankfully, the Cont. is not only close to the kingdom (I believe it's in walking distance) it's also on the monorail system so transportation is not as tricky as it would be to some of the other resorts.

Sooooooooooo I called down today with our first choice of breakfast on Jan. 12 with a back up plan of Dinner on the 15th.

Surprisingly they had two openings for bfast on the 12... 7:30a and 11:10a - neither one of them is a prime choice, but I took the 11:10. I don't want to get up at the buttcrack of dawn two mornings in a row, especially since it'll be our first day and we'll have no doubt been doing the "we're too excited to sleep" reenactment that night.

So we'll sleep in a bit, and then head over to the Magic Kingdom for a bit, then walk over to the Contemporary and eat with the gang, then take the monorail back to the Kingdom and ride us some rides.

Erin's paying for that breakfast lol she owes me! ;)

So the deal that came out tonight saved us a little bit of money. 4 nights/tickets get three free for up to 10 nights plus a $200 gift card. Now, we had 11 so it took a bit of finagling but we got it all situated.

Erin and I wanted to upgrade our 10 nights with the freebie deal to the Coronado Springs, but no such luck. None of the other moderates are open at the moment either.

I'm hoping that if I call back I can get into something... I'm sure AlaskaUSA is loving that I keep spending this money only to get it refunded back! ha ha!

If you ever call down to Disney and get a guy named Tucker, OMG, you will get one of the nicest Cast Members I have ever had the pleasure to talk to! I think I developed a phone crush that is totally legal and non pornographic! ha ha!

I'll be honest, I'm bummed about Coronado.. and the fact that I had to shell out another deposit... but it'll all work out in the end.
