3 Grannies, Disney Dancing & Deviltry! Oh, my!!

[chimo2u]

Why thank you ma'm.

Marie, perhaps you and Dawn might want to depart AK and return to WL in order to swim before the RR ADR. That way you can get a swim in (when it will most likely be warmer than evening!!) and then not have to rush out of RR. Trust me you will LOVE the atmosphere and entertainment (and food) that it has to offer and will not feel like rushing out. And since I don't know the scheduling of the entertainment the later ADR vs the earlier one should guarantee us of seeing the dancers/bands.

Sounds like a plan My feet will be needing some hot tub time, LOL...and it'll be a nice break after FOTLK to head back!

 

[chimo2u]

Really, this is beginning to be fun!!

Dawn and Rosie, you don't know what you are missing!!

For AK day... we all now have a Finding Nemo FP for 11:40-11:55 am. (replaces the Safari which we are doing during EMH....okay Marie, Dawn and Rosie, do I need to give you guys a wake up call in order to make EMH??

Rosie, you are in the room with me so no problem! ....Marie, I can call you guys and pretend to be stitch... that will wake you up!!

Oh this is going to be fun!!

SURE!!! Stitch!!! we could use one of those to get our butts moving, We're going to have a blast! I just hope the projected snow this weekend doesn't keep me away from my early TUE morning flight!!! Move on over ppl...I gotta date with my friends and a dear mouse!!!

Good morning Grannies & Wannabees ... so close now!! And here's to our two rockin' grannies (Christine and Linda) who won't be able to join us, who will be sitting this one out at home in their rockers. We will miss you!!



No. We'll check the times when we arrive. Since it's a huge theater, we've never had a problem. (Sam and I walked up 10 minutes before show time in August and got seats). Now we won't cut it that close

SE? are you referring to Spaceship Earth in Epcot?



Is that Chicken and Ribs? Yum

Yes SE is Space hip Earth at Epcot ,I love that ride and making the future . Yes Chicken and ribs and maybe a side of fries !!!!

Marie asked about changing our ADR at Raglan Road on Wed to an earlier timeslot.

Problem ..there is a 5:15 pm ressie, but nothing available at 6-6pm.

Our time is at 7:30pm.

My thought is to keep our 7:30 and arrive a little early. My concern is if we change to 5:15, we have to cut short our AK day ...and we would have to factor in the time to go from AK to a resort, then to DTD.

What say you?

I agre we only have the one day at AK and 5:154 would cutit close. The Parade there is also my favorite parade otf the afternoon ones !!

Why thank you ma'm.

They seemed to be dancing almost non stop when we were there but it was a Saturday !!

Really, this is beginning to be fun!!

Oh this is going to be fun!!

I am always te first up at Disney so n problem I will set my cell for 6 a.m. I like to have a cup of coffee and a smoke before I start the day !!!

Marie what time are you arriving now did that change ? I thought you were getting in late afternoon ?? I also saw WL mentioned so when did this change ??? I seem to be a day late and a dollar short a lot !! I think we should rename this thread To 2 Grannies and 2 Wannabees Break the record in resort changes and FP+ changes .I think this would even make Cynthias head spin !!!

YES Rosie!!! nice new name for a completely changed up trip, LOL!!

WL change happened last night, when I called Guest Services to talk about how I would check in without holding an AP myself (I was worried they'd ask me for one and I wouldn't have it!) When I first booked us it was under the Sept-Dec room code, and somehow in money exchange and changes it got changed to Passholder room rate. Now that is fine, but with you staying with Janet, and Me trying to check in without the passholder, I didn't want to be dishonest or risk having to pay rack rate at check in.

Long story short, the manager was able to trace the reservation back through the changes and see that I originally had a public discount, and she was able to reinstate it/ so no surprises at check in! it gave me 30% 0ff vs the 35% PHolder discount, so I was fine with that...she found a room at the inn -- WL courtyard and it was going to only be $40 more to upgrade, so I figured that's pretty good! I jumped on it and now we are at WL for our 2 nights....then POFQ for the remainder. To change from POFQ to WL for the rest of our stay would be another $450/to $500 --and I'm already at my max for this trip, so I will find the charm at POFQ just fine
Can't wait to meet you all!!!! It's close enough to the end of the day for me...I'll say ONLY 5 DAYS NOW!!! woohoooo

 

[BFF2chimo2u]

I am so excited for this to all come about. we are going to have a blast. Wondering if any will be looking for hidden Mickeys?

 

[Poolrat]

I am wondering about the CC hold when I go with P &P next year !! P&P better use theirs, which will mean I have to have the TA do the ressies and I had hoped to do them myself as she didn't do to well this time .
I definately want to hold that BOG ressie too !! I have a feeling adrs MAY be easier to obtain with the CC hold as less people will hold several ressies for the same day under different names now !! I could not get over how as a party of 10 we never had an issue getting in to the restaurant we wanted at the time we wanted just showing up at Universal !!!!

wow we might need a recap before everyone leaves....

I hope everyone has a wonderful
Thanksgiving and a GREAT trip.
