September '09 PTR ~ A trip full of WONDERful firsts! UPDATED 10/12 TR STARTED! - The DIS Discussion Forums

jenny105 · 03-28-2009, 09:45 AM

Hi guys! This is my first PTR ever so please, be patient with me!

A little background info on the cast of characters:

Me - Jen, 26, born & raised in NJ. I've been a travel consultant for almost a year (May 5will be 1 year!) and a retired waitress.

I love all things Disney. This will be my fourth full trip to the World since 2006. I took a trip to MK as a shore excursion on a 2005 NCL cruise so since then, I've been hooked. Previously, I hadn't been there since I was about 7 or 8 years old, when my parents took me. Back then, MGM was practically brand new...and still called MGM!

DBf - Joe, 27, also from NJ. He's a waiter for Chili's right now but more importantly an aspiring movie director. He just wrapped up his first feature length film and is in the process of editing it! I made a cameo

We've been together for almost 4 years (April 24th!) and he probably loves Disney more than I do. He's taken trips with his family every summer since he was a kid and he's always been my companion for Disney World. I have no idea what number trip this will be for him!

Here's a picture of us:

The plan for this trip is:
9/20-9/24 staying at POR
9/24-9/27 set sail on the Wonder!
9/27-9/29 two extra nights of magic at ASMo

These are all firsts for us! We've never stayed at POR (I've never stayed at a Mod!) or ASMo. We're POP people. Neither one of us have ever sailed with DCL. Other cruise lines yes, but not Disney! We're doing it in style this time!

Expect more updates as the time gets closer. Less than 6 months to go!!

Hey Jenny!

I'm so glad that you decided to do a pre-trip report. Nice PTR intro! That's such a cute picture of you guys. Love those Medieval Times crowns.

That's cool that Joe wants to be a movie director. Tell him I said congrats on making is first feature-length film. That's a great accomplishment. Please keep us updated about that.

Can't wait to read more!

Thanks for stopping by!

Medieval Times is so much fun! We went there for Joe's birthday this past January. It was a blast.

I will definitely keep you updated on his movie. He usually posts trailers online so I'll send you a link if you'd like.

I will let you know when one goes up. He had put one up a couple months ago but I'm not sure if it'd still around.

Hi! Just stepping in to say hello. I see that you are going in Sept. Did you get free dining today? If not call & ask for it. Code TBV It saved me a ton of money.

See ya!!

Is it available for Land & Sea packages? I heard that it isn't.

jenny105 · 03-30-2009, 03:06 PM

So I know that my dates fall within the free dining promotion at WDW. But I've heard that if you have a Land & Sea package, you are not eligible to get it. I would love to add it on but I don't think that I can since it's not a new booking or a MYW package. Has anyone ever gotten free dining via Land & Sea?

karentan · 03-30-2009, 03:32 PM

jenny, give CRO a ring and find out, there's no harm in asking!
