This looks AWESOME! I had a question about Day 6 though. Do you eat at the restuarant for Y&Y? Or counter service. My parents went to the CS and they said the size of the meals were ridiculously big and 1 meal filled them both up. Just some food for thought.

Me personally, I would rather eat inside and spend the extra money to be comfortable. I think I might splurge and get the Colby Burger this time. :cloud9:

Anyways this looks like a great plan of attack! Hope all goes well!

The fireworks at LaHacienda was wonderful...not a fan of Mexican food, but great service and a great view! Granddaughters loved it...their mom too!

HEY MAMABRUSKI. Where are the rest of the trip reports????

We're eating in the sit-dwn restaurant. We ate there for lunch last year, and I really loved it. I wouldn't mind making it a tradition, especially if they continue to carry the mango pie dessert. :mickey:
Also, we're on the DDP, so splitting meals probably wouldn't go over well, and besides, you haven't seen me eat... :D

It's a dream come true, and yet in a lot of ways, it doesn't seem like enough time.

I love Mexican food! I'm looking forward to some mole! :sombrero:

Thanks! It's a lot of fun to plan a trip.

Me too! The sad part is, I keep thinking how I'd also like to eat at San Angel Inn. So many choices.

I should do that! So, what's your credit card # and expiration date? ;) (JK)

Well, you are a fellow New Englander after all. ;)

I've actually made 14 sit-down ADRs, we have DDP credits for 13, so we'll have to pay out of pocket for our last ADR at Plaza Restaurant, because I figure it would be the most economical.

I LOVE the mango pie dessert. I have heard that they no longer carry the small individual-sized ones at the Y&Y CS anymore. I was crushed. I used to pick up a few the first day we were at AK and keep them in the room to eat during the week :D Now I'll have to actually sit at the bar or make a ressie...

I think we discussed this in another thread? Well, I suggest you do what you have to do to get that pie. While it is not the only thing I love about Yak and Yeti, it's certainly my favorite.
