Safe travels, and hugs to you and Brandon.
I'll talk to you when I'm back in two weeks.
Thanks! I hope you have a great trip!!! I know I said that already, but I'm saying it again!

I really would like to go to Universal, I haven't been there in a long time either, before IOA was even there, and my DH has never been! He really wants to go on the roller coasters, but he's the one who said we shouldn't go when I told him the price! It's really up to him, I can take it or leave it, of course, I'm sure it will be fun if we go, but I'm happy with an extra Disney day as well!
That makes sense about using the tickets before upgrading them to AP's! I bought mine before the August increase too. I'm not sure if we will do it, but since I'm going this November and want to go back next October, it seems like it makes sense. We really should have done it when we were there in May but just didn't bother! I will check out that thread, thanks for all the info!
And yes, I wish we were going to NC for something better too, it's going to be a rough couple of days. I really should get off the disboards and try to get to sleep since I have to be up at 4:30 to get ready to start the drive down there!
Hiii! I am finally trying to get caught up on your PTR. I still have more to read but so far I love your plans. The POR sounds like a great choice, it was super pretty. OK I will be all caught up shortly...
$250 for one day?! That's insane! I definitely would go for the extra day at Disney.
Yeah the US/IOA tickets are ridiculous. I helped a friend of mine book her Disney/US trip for Jan. 2011 and she almost choked when I told her what the tickets cost. And they originally wanted to do 2 days there! She changed to 1 day and was still not happy with the cost (who could blame her!) but she's going anyway because her and her husband won't be taking a real vacation again for a a few years.
I'm thinking in 2012, we might do a big trip down to WDW in October with my sister and her BF, and my cousin and her BF....so we might look into going to US/IOA then, because it's a special occasion but we'll have to see!
I'm sorry that we are going to miss each other while you are here in NC! Last night we had a PTSO meeting so I didn't get off until almost 9pm, and John still isn't home this evening. But I hope you enjoy your time down here in the boondocks! (Ya'll come back now, ya hear?)
I've been catching up on your PTR and I just wanted to introduce myself as the girl you are going to see a million times on your trip! Forgive me if your plans have changed or I have gotten something wrong, but my husband and I will be at:
-The Wishes Dessert Party Saturday Night
-Universal on Tuesday
-Crystal Palace on Wednesday morning before Rope Drop
-Dinner at Kona on Thursday before MVMCP (you'll be at Ohana, right?)
-MVMCP Thursday night
Crazy, huh?
When we went in 2000 IOA was my absolute favorite park (shhh don't tell anyone). I was really into all the thrill rides back then... who am I kidding I still will love them now. When I get back I will have to tell you if I thought it was worth it.
About a week after we got back home from the April trip we had decided to go back in October. I wish I could go back and get AP's then. I vote for you to get the AP's. It is cheaper to get AP's than to take two trips and buy tickets for each. With taxes the AP's are about $530 a person, your 8 day hopper is valued at $325, so for $205 per person you can upgrade. That is less than a 3 day myw ticket (no hopper or anything). Can you tell I like to crunch numbers.
Worry about all this disney stuff later, get some SLEEP!
I also love love love the popcorn!!!!! A lot of those are a favorite on my list too! I enjoy the highly overpriced yet wonderful Mickey Ice Cream bars!! That would be near the top of my food list!
Good snack/drink list. Where can you get said Magical Star cocktail? I look forward to trying many things at Epcot, like the Grey Goose Limon Citron Slushie.
Glad you made it back from NC. Hopefully next time you go it will be under better circumstances.
Oh, and for the reply about the ap's. Chris and I have had the discussion about not getting them if we didn't have the cash to pay for them, so I understand waiting to make that decision.
Woohoo for 8 weeks.
GREAT snack choices---LOVE this update I can't wait to try a slush in France. Thinking the Lemon will be for me!! You are right, the popcorn is to die for....love it
Ooh, a citrus swirl?! I have never heard of that (just the infamous dole whips, which I haven't had either). I guess Aloha Isle will have to go on my list of places to try in March!
