Thankful, wishful CHANGING plans! NOV '12 PTR, Packing, shopping & last minute plans

[ljcrochet]

I loved going to WDW when my girls were 17 months old. It was so magical letting them take in everything.
Can't wait to hear about the rest of your plans.

Hello! You posted on my Dec PTR and I noticed your Thanksgiving PTR link, so I wanted to pop over and say hello.

Thanks for the suggestion of The Plaza. I just checked out the menu and it looks pretty good. I think I was always thrown off b/c it was sandwiches, but they do look yummy, so that might be the way to go

I am also going to read your Dec TR so I can get some ideas for Christmas at WDW.

Looking forward to hearing more, and I really hope your PIN code works out for you!!

I just noticed your link in your signature and had to come over to check out your plans. I am so excited to hear that you received a pin code!

Following you over from the BBC again. Since you Dec TR got me hooked on these boards I better jump on board again. Wish I"d have gotten around to starting a PTR, I'm a bit intimidated by some of the HTML stuff like embedding a link into my siggie. I know there are tutorials on the welcome board though so I can't really use that as an excuse. Maybe I'll be brave when I get back.

Curious and hopeful that the PIN will work....

Good! Did your girls nap in the stroller or did you take breaks? Cortlyn needed her naps in the room, and I'm thinking Catie will be that way as well- BUT she comes with me to work now and sleeps in the PNP in the back of the shop.

The Plaza is really good! It's a nice lunch and the milkshakes are AMAZING!! Hopefully you will like it if you chose to go there!

YAY!!! You need to do a Trip Report over here! I'll help you!

[francis6306]

So… I'm a little bummed… But it's not horrible. Sorry it took so long to get on here- the girls had me running crazy last night and today we had Miss Catie's 9 month check up. NINE months!!! Really? How is it that she is that old?!

I have a room discount PIN, but apparently, it's not one that works for the whole trip unless the dates are all included. See. It blackouts the 17-23 of Nov, which is the bulk of our trip. We could get a discount on the rooms for certain nights only, so it doesn't really save us as much money as it could if we could move our trip up or back a week. Which isn't an option.

I'm still VERY excited that we GOT the Pin, and I'm just going to pray that maybe this means there is HOPE for Free Dining that usually IS able to be extended through your whole trip as long as you check in by the last date. We were planning on going before we got the pin, so not being able to use the pin won't stop us, you know?

Well that stinks! But at least you save a little something right?

BTW - It's me Cara!

AWE!!! Hi my Real Life friend!!!!

[francis6306]

Hello All!

So, we haven't made any decisions. I have the Pin, but it's not going to save me a whole lot. I got online- finally had some time- and tried to look at my options. I think I am spoiled. I went during a value week last year AND Cortlyn was free- so these prices are scaring me a little! But we are committed to going!

Right now, I have to watch Grey's!

[jenseib]

I know all about the pricing situation. I keep working ways to get something high dollar for cheap. LOL

[debrapagliasotti]

Well gosh, sorry the PIN code does not work for your dates. Darn blackout dates!!

Yup. Plus, I am REALLY struggling with the room situation since we'll have Catie. We LOVED Pop- I really wish they had some family suites!

Yeah, it sucks, because its a pretty good discount if we could move our dates. But I get it- I mean, they don't NEED to give Discounts during that week, because many people will be choosing to go just like we are- because of breaks from school. We will figure out something.

Well Art Of Animation will be open then...right across the lake from Pop.

That's true… But the section that I think Cortlyn would like (little mermaid) doesn't have the suites, right? And aren't they more expensive than the ASMu?

[jenseib]

You are right, but they won't be open then yet. They aren't opened as of now till Dec. 31st. They are opening the resort in stages and that one is the last stage to open. I think AoA looks so cool though. I will have to go visit it.
