    Turtle Talk with Crush experience

    Tears in my eyes! That was a magical experience. My son is autistic, so I can imagine how terrifying that was at first, then how wonderful it turned out to be! pixiedust:

    Splash Mountain - get wet?

    We just got home Tuesday. We rode Splash Mountain 3 times. The first 2 times we barely got wet. Then there was the 3rd time... we were DRENCHED!! I mean, head to toe SOAKED!! I was wearing denim shorts and they didn't dry for the entire day! I think it's all just luck of the draw. :eek:

    Disney in 5 days. . .I just lost my job.

    I have my consultation with my orthodontist about getting braces (as an adult) the day before we leave. I'm not going to let the dollar signs cloud my WDW vision! Have a GREAT time and dig in when you get home! :goodvibes :goodvibes :goodvibes

    Freaking out about the weather!

    We went in June last year and it had the entire week we were there forecasted as thunderstorms! We had 1 thunderstorm that lasted a couple of hours our first night, then a couple of 10-15 minute showers 2 other days. It was sunshine the rest of the time! The weather changes too fast to worry...

    Lightning McQueen?

    We went there last year and stumbled upon them. At that time though, there was no photographer around and they weren't making any noise or moving their eyes. They were just like statues. Now that I know they are supposed to do stuff and there is supposed to be a photog there, I'm looking...

    Epcot Visa Meet and Greet

    OK, so my DH and I each have 2 Disney Visa cards, if we get one photo session where they take several pics, would we be able to get 4 free pictures from the one session? or would we have to go 4 different times each day we go? :confused3 Thanks!

    The Gacs have gone loopy

    I think it also depends on the CM you approach. Last year we showed the CM our GAC and he asked us if we wanted to see the Princesses or the Fairies or both and we chose "both". He marked a little laminated, numbered card and sent us to wait in the area PP was talking about. We went in to see...

    Tropical Storm Igor?

    I just read on Accuweather.com that it's a tropical storm now and could be a "monster" of a hurricane. They aren't sure where it might hit land at this point. EEEEEEK!! We leave in 10 days!! I don't want a monster hurricane anywhere near my Disney vacation!! :scared1:

    Capri Suns

    Thanks everyone! I bought 2 boxes of Capri Suns yesterday and am ready to pack them in the suitcase! I felt like DH was over-worrying, but since I'm planning this whole thing, I guess he felt he should offer input on something!! :thumbsup2

    >> Funniest Overheard Comments Part II <<

    We weren't yet in WDW, at the Orlando Airport and my dad (obviously suffering from jet lag) says, "I wonder what time zone the airports use? There are so many people from different places, how do they know which one to use?". !!! I just turned and stared at him for a long LOOONG while and...

    possibly the lamest PIN ever

    YES! The 4/3 deal was awesome! We did that last summer and even though there's free dining this trip, I think the 4/3 worked out better for us. Hope it comes back some day! pixiedust:

    checking into 2 hotels?

    Honestly, I wouldn't risk it. EVEN THOUGH the CM told you it was ok, the whole exchange with him didn't seem very reassuring. Plus, there might be a lot of speedbumps that could ruin the surprise element while trying to check in to the other hotel (lines, handing over your credit card for...

    Dinosaur and Little Ones

    We took our 4 yo DD and 7 yo DS on it last year without knowing anything about it! My aunt went with us and she has been to WDW about a hundred times, so we just blindly followed her. In any case, our kids weren't traumatized and thought it was pretty fun. My poor little guy is even mildly...

    checking in

    Last year, we got to the resort around 1pm. We checked in and ate lunch while waiting for our room, it was only about an hour wait. They texted us when our room was ready and we dropped some stuff off there and off we went. If you use the ME, your luggage might not be there for a few hours...

    Delivery of water?

    We are going to order water from Costco and have it delivered. It's only like $8 a case including shipping, plus like a $0.75 fee for not being a member. I've heard of a lot of people doing it, but apparently you need to order a couple of weeks ahead of time.

    Capri Suns

    Oh hooray! I was thinking they'd be ok, but then DH got all in my head!! :upsidedow Wrapping them in garbage bags is a good idea, just in case!! Thanks!
