made dining reservations today for our trip to disney world. in april. next year.
for those unfamiliar with this phenomenon, because of the popularity of certain restaurants at disney world, it's become necessary now to decide what and where you want to eat six months prior to your vacation. the extreme here is reserving breakfast at cinderella's castle (which we're not doing). the reservations are so hard to get, some guide books give step-by step instructions (see page 337) on how to optimize your chances, right down to synchronizing your watch to be sure you call exactly on time. insane.
all this so i can pay 9 bucks each for my kids to order chicken nuggets they probably won't eat anyway.

Whoa...what restaurant? If you say "Planet Hollywood" Imma kill you.
Just got back from our first trip to Disney and can personally attest to this practice. We reserved three breakfasts six months (TO THE DAY!) in advance. We set our alarm at 7am six months TO THE DAY before we wanted to eat breakfast to call Disney and make the reservations.
Kids had a blast with Cinderella, Little Einsteins and then Mickey. I got bloated on powdered eggs and mass-produced bacon.
But, hey, what do you want for $50 a head?
Interesting to know.
