I got a package in the mail today from ticket mania today. It was our park hoppers. Ticket Mania put a ton of FL info magazines in there. Super cool! I was really impressed. And the tickets were way cheaper than everyone else!

 

[ericamanda01]

So are Thea and I the only ones here hitting the oceangram bottle! If so it makes scense! We are afterall just two Oregon Hippies!

 

[JOANNEL]

What is oceangram bottle?

 

[SmoothSailing]

I can't believe there's only one month before the cruise. I'm a teacher and thought I'd have everything taken care of by now before school starts! I'm starting to get overwhelmed with getting my classroom back together. Hopefully it'll be just like college and the pressure caused by procrastination will make me get it all together. I can't wait!

 

[seashells]

Asha ....What do you need? I will be happy to get it for you? I love the Laila scent from WDW it is my personal fave....let me know I would be glad to help. I wouldnt offer to help if I did not mean it.
That goes for you too Richard, about getting a ride after the cruise...

Thank you for the offer, Im looking for Narciso Rodriguez "For Her", I was hoping to get it in duty free where I first bought it last Sept, but thats a no go, I called Orlando's Bloomingdales and they have it for 85 US...I will most likely get it here cause the price difference is not much...but if you do see it for a good price, let me know as I will be in Orlando from the Wed...

Okay guys...did u know that luggage is soooo expensive! I didnt and got the shock of the year today...2 large and 1 medium...$324!!!...although I guess prices must go much higher than that...

Thea, sorry!! I could not resist the sleek pointy toed slingbacks i found today...they were beautiful and with only a 1 1/2" heel, well I could not resist!

Oh and of course Im in for Brunch on the Thursday!!!!!! Would not want to miss out on spending time with u all..okay i lie...I cant wait to eat!

14 days to go until WDW!

 

[ericamanda01]

Ok now I am in serious planning mode. Actually I think it's the coffee! Eric and I are renting a car to get from the airport to the resort. So here are my list of questions.

1. What is the best and easiest way to the resort BWV? (Boardwalk)

We can't check in until 4pm but we are going to drop off our bags and go shopping. We want to go to one of the outlets that sell WDW stuff and get some gifts for our family. Yes we are that cheap, but they really don't have the Disney love, but they will expect gifts from WDW anyway. Oh and Eric HATES shopping, so if there is only one outlet mall that we have to go to that would be best. So that leads to ? #2.

2. Where are the best outlets and how do we get there from BWV?

We need to pick up some food. But don't want to go to the most expensive grocery store around.

3. Where is a good grocery store that is close to the resort?

4. Where can I find and and all of these maps I will need?

And most important!

5. Please tell me that there is a Starbucks in the middle of all this running around. Because if I don't have some coffee I will lose my mind! It's a northwest thing! We are coffee junkies!

I can't believe I am this close!!!!!!!!!

1. What is the best and easiest way to the resort BWV? (Boardwalk)

Answer: take the south exit out of the airport and follow the signs. they will lead you to Disney World. Take the Downtown Disney exit and then left it will take you to the street with Boardwalk and MGM on it.

We can't check in until 4pm but we are going to drop off our bags and go shopping. We want to go to one of the outlets that sell WDW stuff and get some gifts for our family.

Oh and Eric HATES shopping, so if there is only one outlet mall that we have to go to that would be best. So that leads to ? #2.

2. Where are the best outlets and how do we get there from BWV?

Orlando Premium Outlets ....there is a Character Outlet there. Come out of main entrance to Boardwalk.take a left...follow that road past Downtown Disney and take a right by the Hilton follow that road to the end and take a right. go straight down a few miles until you see Little Lake Bryant signs..take a left here and follow the road about 2 miles Outlets will be on the left.



We need to pick up some food. But don't want to go to the most expensive grocery store around.

3. Where is a good grocery store that is close to the resort?

Closest will not be the cheapest. There is a super WalMart not too far away. follow the same road as above do not turn towards Little Lake Bryant just keep going straight and WalMart will be on the left a few miles down.


4. Where can I find and and all of these maps I will need?

And most important!

5. Please tell me that there is a Starbucks in the middle of all this running around. Because if I don't have some coffee I will lose my mind! It's a northwest thing! We are coffee junkies!


Starbucks is in the Orlando Premium Outlets
Hope this helps

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Wow ~ Orlando Premium Outlet here we come...Starbucks and Shopping...can't beat that.

Seashells ~ I can't believe you caved on the slingbacks...who am I kidding... If I could wear them too, I would! So, guess I will be the only woman in the dining room to have flats on formal night....there's a poem there...let me think...

Amanda01 ~ Oceangram rocks out loud! I am completely addicted. What a crack up. I can't get it at work because of our outdated flash player...thank goodness, or else I would be on it all day! I like just watching the water. OOOH AAAAH OOOH AAAAH

Hey, look what I can do?!?!?!


ºoº ~ still can't get it to work on the dell laptop at home. A Konk Kooler to the first person who can tell me how to get the code for the darn dell to make a degree sign! Whoo Hoo!

 

[Beaker1967]

Well WldWcnWmn I tried what I can do to figure out how to make a degree sign with my dell and couldnt figure it out so I called DELL LOL and they made me go to Start/Accessories/and click on paint and the last symble was a circle and you can make it as big or small as you want and made a mickey head that way... I dont have surgon hands so my circles even looked funny but made it that way... it was an Idea so you can try it as well... Hope that was a good answer for you.....LOL... still counting down for an awesome cruise with you all.....its going to be a blast....hope everyone is haveing a great day... chat soon....


Jeff and Kathy

 

[skoi]

in Costa Maya- wondering what you're wearing? Do you think it's necessary to wear pants due to bugs, jungle, etc? I know, I think way too much about this sort of thing.

Thanks,
Julie

I called them yesterday too, and they didn't have a good answer for me either...so if no one can figure it out in 28 days, looks like you and I will be

I owe Seashells a Tag Fairy Drink too... I am going to be such a slush on this cruise! LOL So come on people! Let's start chatting...the days are coming closer and closer and I have 1000 posts to get to.

Julie ~ we are going on the ruins tour with David and Ivan. We are wearing shorts and good walking shoes, but we're packing bug spray like crazy women!

 

[WldWcnWmn]

Favorite Disney Princess Amanda ~ Do we have a bunch of people for Palo brunch on Thursday? Are we going, are we huh are we huh? Chocolate souffle here I come....bonsai.....

 

[ericamanda01]

Sorry i haven't been to chatty today. I think I am getting a cold. I have been hitting the hairborne like a mad woman! In between sneezing that is. I feel like poo. I am starting to think it might be alergies though, because we are having some serious spring like weather. 74º with a breeze all day and in the mid 50's at night. It feels like spring or and nearly fall. I am just happy that it hit now, rather than later.

 

[dzneprincess]

Reagrding brunch so far I have only heard back from
Myself
Amanda
Thea
Cindy (by way of Thea)
Joanne
Denise (by way of Joanne)
Julie
Teresa
Asha
That is only 9...we need min of 12...I have heard back from Rhonda, but she is in the same situation as me. She also has her personal brunch planned for Thursday and she does not want to give that up. But if it means we can not get the room, then she did say we could use her as backup. I hav eheard from one other cruiser who was a yes but is now a no since the date is changed. I have to call DCL back tomorrow by 530 pm. I need to know from those of you on the above list, if you have a PALO ressie already and joining the group would make you lose your ressie, if you are okay with that. I know that Joanne posted earlier that she hoped it did not mess up her personal res...Who does NOT have a personal ressie? I know Amanda and Thea for sure, but who else on the above list?

 

[dzneprincess]

ATTN GAIL AND KAREN!!! My PM tracking shows that you have not read my PM..please get back to me ASAP. I have you both down as a yes to brunch and I need to make sure you are still yeses considering the new information!

 

[dzneprincess]

heloo?? where is everyone? getting ready for the trip or what? we still haveplenty of time left! How we gonna get to 3000 posts? at this rate???

 

[dzneprincess]

I need the PALO information asap! I will check my PMS and this thread in the AM or you can EMAIL me mabell75@bellsouth.net but I will not be able to check again beofre the deadline as I cannot check from work. Please this is important...

 

[Beaker1967]

dzneprincess
We have been trying with no success for either day! We would love to be able to get in. If you don't come up with the number you need before calling DCL you can count us in to help fill the gap. 2 people. Rm 6037

 

[seashells]

I do not have any reservations for Palo so I really do hope we can do this brunch.
