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

[Janet B]

Dawn and I are so excited! We just booked La Nouba for Dec 5!!!! 5 yrs going to WDW and I've never had the chance to see it yet! We both love cirque du soleil, so we are excited to see this Disney Exclusive show! We'll grab a quick bite to eat at DTD that night couldn't pass up the great price -- $69 for Cat 2 cirque club members

Marie,
Congrats again!.... you know I realized last night that you most likely forgot about the lights, but also knew that Friday might be a possibility. We RCers are big on all changes!

I''ve been fortunate to have scored some great ADRs a few days out...so don't give up hope. If you don't mind missing the *** event, you may also want to consider trying for a late ADR at the Yachtman's, that way you can view the lights and have a leisurely dinner afterwards.

It will all work out!

Thanks Janet! Good suggestions and might be a solution I'm sure it'll all work out - you know I even considered adding one more day and leaving Tuesday instead of Monday just to fit it all in, lol

Now you sound like me! Just keep adding days! This stay will be 16 days for me. What airlines are you booked with? Can you change flights without a huge penalty? That's why I always try to book SW .... Cuzz I love changing!

16 days! I'm jealous, lol -- you get so much Disney time Linda lucky, lucky, lucky, lol!
My airline is west jet -- pretty steep change fees I think $100 to change! So add that to another night in the room -- I could be looking at $400+ to add on a night. Janet's suggestion is looking good I'll work it out somehow!

Hi Marie,
Another suggestion (I'm full of them at times! ) ... but since I secured that 8:30 pm ADR for Sanaa, might you and Dawn go over to HS on Tues after you check in at POR? Depending if you arrive on time, you can get to the resort perhaps by 5:30 pm and the bus it to HS. You can judge the timing, but perhaps plan on taking a cab to AKL. It means adding on a day, and as you have a 5 day PH, it approx $12 to add on a day. What ya think?

Thanks for the suggestion, Janet but no your first one works better for us - we will just do the late dinner at yachtmans and see them Fri night. We're excited for that, I'm not too concerned about missing the dessert party if it is Infact that, I still haven't even heard what it is, but no worries, I'll catch illuminations after via Napoli on Sat night

TGIF!! Christine, so sorry about your having to cancel. We'll miss you! Hi Dawn Welcome! I'm one of the wannabee's on the trip So sorry it's taken me a while to welcome you, my life is very hectic lately with work demands, family visiting and my DD's marching band schedule (and of course my own imposed activities) Well I love almost all the rides/attraction but very few, so I am happy going on most anything and will go with the flow. So happy you are joining in with this motley crew. This is a GREAT group of ladies!! I am so looking forward to December and "meeting" you all in person! Marie, you can count on me! With Linda's back being a little out of whack you may be my EE buddy... although Linda may a good coaster can "adjust" that back for you! Linda, have not had a chance to try FP+ but will do so this weekend. WHAT?? Have you made Dawn aware of your spontaneous Pole Dancing exploits?? We know you weren't....and we all ARE!!

Ps... Glad I can count on you too for some thrill rides Janet! Hope I can get Dawn on some again too

Photopass???? $149 pre-purchase, do you all think it's a good idea??? It's probably better for one of you Americans to pre-purchase it and I pay my share when I get there.... If I buy it , it'll be more expensive due to exchange rate. What's everyone's thoughts on this? Good buy or not necessary??

 

[BFF2chimo2u]

I have no clue I am so new at this. How does one know?

 

[BFF2chimo2u]

I am confused when you all use abbreviations like code talking hehe. I am getting to know some but not all.

I think it's a good thing to have we can get all our ride photos -- which are usually quite pricey to begin with. We can also hit up photopass photographers whenever we see them, they can also do special magic shots/ add-ins that are quite cute in the pictures. It saves having to haul a camera everywhere to get some memorable shots! We just need someone who can burn 5 copies and send them to each of us...so we add a little extra in to cover the shipping/ disk cost.
I've always enjoyed the photopass but I've also always been in a share, which definitely makes it more affordable!

 

[BFF2chimo2u]

Think I might join Rosie in the pole dancing lol

Omg!! I can just see you doing it too, LOL

I really think those magical shots with the add ins are tacky but that is just my opinion. I was referring to what to know which things are your musts. I haven't a clue there.

I think some are cute, like the simba one anyways, the photopass has always been a good buy for me. I'll still probably get it regardless, because I'm camera illiterate.
My musts this time are to see illuminations (4 trips and never seen it yet!)
To try Sanna (which we are on the 3rd)
To see Osbourne Family lights (check)
To go to mvmcp (check mate)
