Who is trying something new?

[DisneyorBust]

This is my annual, "Who is trying something new?" post, something that I like to do each year to see what everyone is trying for the first time as well as to share our plans.

-We added an extra day to the beginning of our trip and will NOT be going to a park, we will spend time at the POLY to enjoy the pools, the grounds and WISHES! from the beach.
-Crystal Palace Breakfast and a Chef Mickey's dinner.....on the same day! I may regret this!
-Grand Floridian Cafe
-Typhoon Lagoon
Not too many new things planned for this trip, though I hope that we have a few new unscheduled surprises in store for us.
That's it for us....How about you?

We're staying at CSR for the first time.

We won't have be club level for the first time.

There will just be the 4 of us for the first time.

We are hoping to try Coral Reef for the first time.

We are trying a waterpark for the first time.

Hopefully PoTC will finally be open when we're there and we will try it for the first time!

Not sure what else because our ARD window isn't open.

Great question! I love the idea of relaxing before the whirlwind of touring the parks begins...especially if you can do it at the Poly!

This trip will be relatively short one for us, so I'm debating whether to try anything new (esp. dining) or sticking with the tried-and-true...

We have to finalize our ADRs in a week so I'll let you know what we decide and if there's anything new on that front. I heard Sanaa is great, and with two vegetarian DDs, it may be a great option.

In terms of the attractions, it's more about what we won't do this year...things we've done in the past that were great, but we don't necessarily want to take the time to do them again.

** We are staying at POFQ this time (Wilderness lodge on our last trip)

** We are taking my parents with us (who are great to travel with)

** We are adding an extra day

** We are thinking that on one or two days, we may hit the parks mid afternoon, instead of first thing in the a.m. just to try and avoid "over doing it" all week long and to give the kids a break

** Hoping to try Boma for dinner one night

** Train ride at Disney World - haven't done it!!!

[E-OR]

We are taking three of our kids friends and have three rooms so everyone will have privacy and the girls don't have to bunk with the boys. We are also trying a couple new restaurants. La Cellier, Crystal Palace and Kona Cafe for dinner and Cape May for breakfast. We are looking forward to a great September trip.

[AllDisney]

We are trying, for the first time:

We're splitting our stay between 2 resorts for the first time, at resorts that neither of us have ever stayed at - Pop & Poly!

Dinner at Mama Melrose's

Mini golf at Fantasia Gardens on our first night, if time allows.

We are! Nine years of going to WDW and I'm happy to say that there are still new things to do!

1. This trip we'll be using the BBQ faciities at our DVC resort to have a cook-out with friends.
2. We'll be dining at Cat Cora's new restaurant, Kouzzina (I'm going to try for breakfast as well as diinner, so that I can report back to you all.)
3. We'll be trying Yak & Yeti for the first time.
4. Looking forward to trying out the Kim Possible "thing" in Epcot.
5. We're looking forward to maybe having a "sleepover" while we're there and welcoming another vacationing guest so that his folks can enjoy an adult-only evening.
6. I'm bringing lots of breakfast stuff from home and will be doing a lot more cooking this time around than I have in the past. (Well, except for that time with the hurricane but we won't mention that, right? )

[Tinkerbella16]

Tomorrow morning I'm making our ADR's and we willl FINALLY be trying Le'Cellier for the 1st time this year.

I'm actually kinda nervous that it'll be fully booked but we are going during a slow week in november and I am booking the ressie towards the end of our trip so maybe that will help.

Also we'll be doing Chef Mickey's for dinner. We always do breakfast but this year we decided to do both. I am so excited!
