4 - How many of the 4 WDW parks feature attractions that show dinosaur remains, or dinosaurs themselves? And tell me what they are.

MGM - Dinosaur Gertie's Ice Cream Parlor

AK - Dinoland, Dinosaur the ride

Epcot - Universe of Energy

3 Theme parks

I hope this is all.

6 - At WDW,what is the slogan of the attraction "Pirates of the Caribbean?" This has got to be "Dead Men tell no tales.." Right?

We are already up to 39 for second seating! Party of 39! I will post again in a few pages, I imagine there will be more. Why didn't we think of booking a group cruise? Isn't there a discount on that? Or maybe they have Magical Gathering events on the ship? Ok, now I'm getting silly.

Mary, great job on the trivia answers! And Diana and Barb (Jilljill), great job on the remaining ones.

David they were really good ones this week! I took one look at them, realized that about the only one I could get was the dead men tell no tales (DD has become addicted to POC, and I've seen the bonus feature DL POC opening about 3 times!). Decided that I wasn't even trying this time!

Mary, lots of luck, pixie dust, and a prayer or two re: your job meeting!

Barb/Jill and Diana,

sorry, keep trying .....

Thanks for the good wishes Lisa.

I liked the place when I was there 6 weeks ago but it is even smaller than where I am now. I'm used to working in a much bigger organization - unfortunately those jobs haven't come along. I'm meeting with the President of the company this morning to talk about how I could fit in and where he sees things going. Hopefully an offer will come out of this and I'll feel good about it. The good thing is that since I still have a job I can be a little choosy. Definately need to get that time off in December. I'd be so sad if you all cruised without me.

Have a great day everyone!

Welcome Ineeley! That's such a great gift for you to give to the kids and grandkids.


Boy, I thought I knew some Disney but Mary you have me beat hands down. Good Job!!

Gail, not a problem. While I am on the April I will check to see what we can do, and I will let you know when I get back. Since you are doing the Palo brunch if you want I can try to get the dinner seating arrangements set up. If you can just keep the list of people and then once I know what to do I will get the lists from you and Diana.

Question 4 - all of them! There are also dinosaurs in the tunnel during the train ride at MK. Diana

 

[lneeley]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Just an FYI, first name Linda (for the LNEELEY), Anyway, I am so excited to join this board. I am a huge Disney fan, I wish the cruise was tomorrow! (Well, maybe not tomorrow since I haven't lost the weight I want and am not packed. Anyway, I am jumping for joy today (just like Tigger), I had to wait till 11 months out to try to use my DVC points for the cruise (at least for 2 people out of the 13). Anyway, called right at 9 a.m. EST, and I was able to convert my DH and myself to points and save $4,726.70! I was hoping I would be able to do that since I was paying for the whole thing. My DH doesn't even know how much this cruise is costing, I just booked the whole thing. (I think he thinks we are using points for the whole thing, which I wish was true). Anyway, when I have time one day, I'll have to tell all of you how I gave the gift to all the kids. I work full time for a non-profit and I am getting ready for a 10 day audit by our outside accountants, so I don't know how often I'll be able to check the boards, but I'll try to check back as often as possible. I think it was Gail who mentioned about Palo's. I'll check with our grown kids (late 20"s early 30's) It is my DH birthday today (54) and I am 44. Anyway talk to you all soon!

 

[Dancind]

Linda, welcome! When you get a chance, several of us here are DVC, and very curious about how many points this cost you (and what category). Thanks! Diana

 

[lneeley]

We are in Category 11 and it cost 333 points each for the two adults, I then paid cash for our 12 year old $1,264.35. We have 400 points each year.

For comparison, Category 6 is 516 points for each adult and 206 for the 12 year old. Category 9 is 417 points for each adult and 178 points for the 12 year old.

We usually stay in Cat. 6 and use points, but with all 13 of us, the only way I could justify going on this expensive cruise was having everyone stay in category 11.

As long as just one person in the stateroom uses points, you can book through DVC. The only bad thing was I had to pay the $1,264.35 today, but I then got my $750 deposit back on the initial reservation, so it wasn't too painful.

Also, since we are out in the west, (Utah), we only get to DW once every year, or two at the most. We do frequent trips to DL since we can drive there in 10 hours, or catch a cheap flight to California.

Hope this helps. If you are thinking about using DVC points, I would call pretty fast. Today was the first day you could book this cruise on points.

Happy Tuesday everyone.

Hi Linda. Who did you book the rest of the rooms with??Did DVC do it all or did you use a TA for the rest. I have an awesome travel agent and got a great price GarRy and Vicki used her and I think someone else did also. You can e mail me if you are intrested gail17@optonline.net. I am also the one handling the brunch. If you are intrested you can e mail me your first and last names and cabin numbers. Thanks Gail1771

 

[wdwgoose]

off the cruise. PROPLEM IS must be paid in full by Feb. 10 OUCH!!!!!!!! SO JUST GOT THE PRICE TODAY.



gaRry

 

[gail1771]

Hi GaRry, That is great about the price and the discount. That is so cool two DC in one year. Is it the Western or Eastern?? Is everyone going or is this a romantic getaway?? Either way it is fun. I like romance once in a while . It keeps the relationship hot and fun. My DH is much more romantic than myself but I still love it. I can't wait to get out of cold NY and on a cruise. 24 days to go to Celebrity Summit- Yeah!!!! Especially since there will be no small children in toe. It has been bitter cold the past few days. My regards to Vicki. Talk to you all soon. Fondly, Gail1771

 

[djs113]

And the other question that proved too tough this time around.

5 - Within DL, what is the inscription in the front courtyard of Sleeping Beauty's Castle?

Within the courtyard to Sleeping Beauty's castle, the inscription "When You Wish Upon A Star Your Dreams Come True" appears.

Keep Wishing Everyone !!!!!

[jilljill]

David you didn't tell us there was a time limit on answering the questions. I was having a friend work on the answers for me.

gaRry, it is soooo cold outside. I hope you have a quiet night so you don't have to go out into the cold.
