When I faxed in my request I also asked for one. It was a lifesaver for DS who needs his milk. He'll be 2 in 24 days.

Ok, thanks. If we happen not to get one, it wouldn't be critical, so we'll see how it goes!

We are at POR now and didnt a get a fridge. It kinda sucks when you get back at 12:15 and you cannot refill your mug! But still awesome

Wow, thanks for the heads up! We can use ice buckets, if needed, since we only intend to use it for drinks. Have fun!!

 

[B's Marie]

Haha, we're only at POR for one night, too. Then it's on to All-Star Movies!

That's too funny! We head to YC... We definitely have to keep an eye out for each other that one day lol!!

Where are you staying, saylorbunch? As an offsite lover, I am always interested to hear which other resorts and communities other families have enjoyed (so I can note 'em for the next trip!). We are trying a new resort this summer.......first time at SVR! [/QUOTE]


In Kissimee, at the 192 curve by Lake Cecile. Got a 3BR (twin beds in the kid's rooms, yay!!) with a pool and game room. The more I think about it the happier IM with the fact that my husband and I get our own room where we don't have to tiptoe around the hotel!

Our photopass did not show up on time either. We just went to DTD to the photo station and told them and they took our order number (we printed our confirmation page). They called the main office and confirmed we purchased and then he gave us our lanyard. Everything good to go.

Where exactly in DTD is the photo station? I am planning on hopping over there on the night we arrive to get my lanyard so that I don't have to waste any park time! TIA

On the bright side, if you request a fridge and do not one you can get a $15 credit per night. Our TA at *** told me about it and I asked tonight and they put the credit on my KTTW card. So free drinks all week! This is a nice tip for everyone

It is at the Team Mickey store. But you can also do it at any of the parks as far as I know. They are marked on the park maps as well so when you check in grab the maps from the lobby and have a look.

Mine probably isn't going to either...I only have until tomorrow to receive it!

Other threads are reporting that free dining is being offered for bouncebacks starting August 20, 2014. As suspected, they are not advertised on in-room flyers. You have to call the x8844 number to inquire. Would love to know if anyone from this thread can verify full dates and details!

Two more days till we leave! My photopass+ hasen't shown up even though it was mailed on the 28th! If it doesn't come in the mail by tomorrow I'm going to have to call the and see what I have to do. Guess I should print off the e-mail I got saying I bought it and take it with me. Also had a call from Disney today as we had to switch or ADR for the 50's Primetime Cafe. The park is closing at 6 the day we are going, which I knew, and our reservation ws for 5:30, and I asked the woman when I made it if that was ok with the park closing at 6, and now we have a lunch reservation for 1 but that's ok. Now I have to go in an play with my tourning plan but it will be good. Think that evening we will just head back to ther resort and hang out there, unless anyone really wants to park hop. Can't believe its only 2 days and I have so much to do...like pack! Good thing I took tomorrow off so I can get stuff done before the MacCartney concert!

Ours hasn't show up either and we leave in 2 days. I think this mailing of a voucher over 14 days is a little ridiculous, it should just be added to your resort and you get the voucher at check-in.

I just read that if you call photopass, they will send a voucher to your hotel and you receive it at check-in. At least that is what another board is posting.

I get there in 2 days and will let you know. I would love that offer!

Still have to get DD10 shoes! Have a list of places to call within 10 miles of work to see if they carry the shoes I want to get her. Darn you Amazon, these Keens are now $90.00, and I say now 'cause they were $70 just 1.5 weeks ago! With overnight shipping it's $108. Why didn't I get her a bigger size when I ordered them in the first place then they might have fit!! the girl is 10 and she needs a women's 8!

Thanks everybody for the anniversary wishes! It was a great night! Minus DH spilling his entire glass of champagne in his dinner lol. Thankfully, I made extra.

Two days until we leave! On my list of plans for today is:

Go to work (barf)
Come home switch the laundry around
Get a pedicure
Run to target to get Bonine and two more ponchos just in case
Come home and fold the laundry, iron anything that needs ironing, finish packing
Vacuum

Whew! Hopefully by tonight we will be packed and ready to go. Tomorrow night I have the Backstreet Boys concert so I won't be getting anything done then which means everything has to be ready by tonight.

Friday morning, my DFIL is picking us up at 4:30 in the morning to head to JFK for our flight that leaves at 7:30. We are about an hour away (with no traffic) so hopefully we'll be ok. That means I will be up by 3:45-4 to get ready and pack up all the last minute things (toiletries and such). It's gonna be a busy couple of days but the busier it is, the faster I'll be in Disney World!!!!

Can anyone report on how the weather has been? This is the first summer that I've ever actually wanted it to be hot, so I'd at least be somewhat prepared for florida! We had a really hot few days here in Boston and now it's starting to feel like fall!! I'm hoping it heats up soon so stepping off the plane won't be such a shock!

 

[beebeeryan]

Single Digits!!!

Feels like fall outside today, can't wait for Florida heat to end the summer!

Mine showed up yesterday so I'm good! I had printed out everything just in case but it made it. I think 14 days is pushing it when it being sent to other countries. It usually takes bout 10 days for something to get from the US to Canada but it can take over two weeks so you never know. Any hope yours shows up before you go.
