Hi Stephanie!! Just checking in and getting all caught up!! I'm hoping Angela was able to get CSR for you!! Anxious to hear!!

Hi Becky! Glad you could come back to my PTR! Update just posted!

 

[Charlefours]

Ahhhh resort-itis! I was struck by this very same disease last year. I must have switched resorts 3 or 4 times!

I don't know much about CSR, it kind of flies under the radar I think. I did put clients there last year because they wanted to stay in a mod and that was the only one available. They absolutely loved it! And it looks beautiful from the pictures I've seen. I think I may have to give that resort a try one of these days. I've never stayed at a mod.

Good luck today!

Thanks Jenny! Resort-itis has been known to get several DISers. I am excited about CSR! I think it will be a great resort to try.

 

[Charlefours]

I am excited to see if you were able to switch!!

Update just posted! Thanks Katie!

YAY! I knew that A could do it for ya!

Let me ask, how did she get a $50 photopass CD!! I was going to pre order with the $100 deal, but just wondering if it was just a limited time, or if I can do it for December

Woohoo for free dining

What Katie said!! How did you get the Photopass cd for $50?! I'm about to preorder mine for May!! YAY for free dining!!!! Angela is the BEST!!

Hooray for Free Dining! That is great that you were able to move everyone over to CSR.

I'm wondering about the photopass too...how on earth did you get it for $50? I thought the $100 preorder was awesome, but $50!!!! That is fantastic! I'm going to do my preorder soon before Disney changes their minds again and gets rid of it.

I'm so glad that the resort switch worked out and you were able to add Free Dining! The Pixie Dust Strikes Again

Another one who wants to know about the photopass deal!
CONGRATS on getting everything you wanted!

I'm so glad to hear that everything is coming together for you!!!

 

[jenny105]

Woohoo! Glad everything worked out!

I was on the phone with Disney this morning too. Not for FD but because they screwed up my clients ME information.

On MNSSHP, if I were you I would let everyone buy their own ticket. That way you don't have to worry about getting money from everyone or someone changing their mind at the last minute and eating the ticket. The latter is what usually happens to me! So I make sure I either get the money first or let them do it themselves!

Congrats on Free Dining!!! Isn't it great!!?? I called and got it added to my reservation this morning too! Wasn't too bad for me...only 35 minutes on hold and then got through. Saved so much money though...I am so happy!

Glad you were able to get the rooms and everything you wanted - great that it worked out so well!!

That's quite a to-do list you have! I have to get busy on autograph books too, worked on them for a while but it's been a couple months now!

Also interested in how you got the PhotoPass for $50...would LOVE to be able to get that. Wasn't sure if I could order it yet for an August trip so I've been holding off!

 

[lexmas]

I'm so glad you got what you wanted for free dining! Very exciting! It feels more final now, doesn't it?

That's a great deal for photopass. I've never bothered, since you can buy pictures individually online if you like just one or two, and we always get pictures that look just fine from our own cameras. But that is an amazing price!

I love the to-do list, I should get started on one. It's starting to get closer!

 

[elizablake]

Woohoo for free dining!!! Glad everything worked out.

That's quite a to do list.

MNSHP party tickets are tricky. I think it depends on the group but it would probably be better to let everyone get their own tickets. Just give them all the info, order your tickets and be done with it.

I'm excited to see your autograph book and sewing projects. I expect photos ASAP.

 

[MHTeacher]

Glad you got free dining ! AND at the resort you wanted too!

 

[mousescrapper]

AMAZING photopass deal...

YAY that everything has worked out for you and the rooms plus free dining very cool! (if your TA hasn't already request rooms on the Casitas (near food court) or in the Cabanas that way you are close to the food court and not to far from the pool...if they put you anyway else it will be a haul to walk over to the the El Centro area...plus for buses...El Centro is the last pick-up around the resort...on your way quick!)

re the MNSSHP tickets I'd tell them to buy...

Your May to do list looks great btw

J~

 

[KatMark]

Well, since you are a neighbor (we both live in suburbs of Chicago), you got your free dining and you are staying at our favorite resort, I just had to join your pre-trip report.

 

[Charlefours]

YAY! I knew that A could do it for ya!

Let me ask, how did she get a $50 photopass CD!! I was going to pre order with the $100 deal, but just wondering if it was just a limited time, or if I can do it for December

Woohoo for free dining

I hope you are able to get it Katie. When they stopped the preorder deal a while back, they released saying they were going to email guests who were signed up for trips but not those guests of TA or DVC holders. If we wanted the discount, our TA needed to request it for us. So she did and I could use it combined with the new preorder opportunity. Good luck--I hope A can work her magic and get it for you too.

Thanks!!

What Katie said!! How did you get the Photopass cd for $50?! I'm about to preorder mine for May!! YAY for free dining!!!! Angela is the BEST!!

It was promotional offer that came out a while back--when they stopped the preorder offer. I am not sure if they are still doing it but I hope it works out for you and Katie to get it!!

Thanks!! Angela is the best, I agree!!

Photopass CD
Thanks to our fabulous travel agent, I was able to get the photopass cd preorder for $49.95!!! That is just an amazingg deal ($100 off full price, $50 off preorder price).

Free Dining Update
I am happy to say that we were able to get free dining!! Our amazing TA was able to even get the other two rooms moved over to free dining too after I got dropped four times this morning when trying to be transferred to grand gatherings. I know they were experiencing some technical difficulties according to the free dining thread but I was not thrilled. Thank goodness for A!

So we are at CSR with Free dining, from September 11-18th : We are so excited and happy with how our trip is coming together!!

Upcoming To Do List
Here is what is upcoming on my Disney to-do list.

May 15th: should have EMHs out—are we going to try to hit any? (Thought is we will avoid morning EMHs b/c busier park that day—one exception would be AK to get on the Safari ASAP)

--Check golf information
--Begin autograph book for Lilian
--Plan 90 day mark party!!
--Plan State bags
--Plan welcome treat for Lilian
--send out information regarding MNSSHP. Price of tickets, date and costume/shirts. Take count—do I order the tickets for all and get reimburse or have them buy the tickets individually if they choose to come?​

May 30th: Finish binder sheets and dividers

--Bigger binder
--Begin putting together smaller binder​

Next Sewing Project
I hope to begin my next sewing project this week/weekend. It probably will not happen until Friday since I need to finish one more school project. I am planning an Ariel dress with a shirred top. I hope it comes out really cute! :

Yay for Free Dining!
Can't wait to see the Ariel dress! Sound cute!
WOW $50 for PP CD...thats awesome! We had a ton of pics on ours last summer it was crazy!
We are going to be doing a 50 or 45 day disney dinner here at our house! It's getting close...finally!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Yay again for FD!! I'm getting really excited for you guys! I hope Lilian loves it as much as Emily does! I'm sure she will!

Uh, you didn't tell me about the photopass deal, I'm so jealous! Who is this Angela person and how can I get her to get me the deal??!!
