Just catching up on your PTR.....Just wanted to bounce my 2 cents off of you regarding the whole bus/car thing.

This was one of the issues I was very nervous about planning for our trip in January....No need. Between DME and the theme park buses we were so well taken care of. Granted at some points there was a wait involved but for the most part my wife and I just took our time leaving the parks at night and it was smooth sailing!.....save your cash for souvenirs.....you'll need it!

Looking forward to checking out that new video ... alas, I can't do it from work ... but I'm sure I can sneak away for a bit and watch it on the Nook!!!! Thanks for posting it ...

We're facing a tough call since they just released the free dining and it DOESN'T include our current travel dates ... so now the mad scramble begins to decide if we want to try to bump our trip up by 1 month ... UGH!!

What I've read is counter service during lunch and table service (Reservation!) for supper!

Yeah I talk about Disney all the time. lol To anyone who will listen!

I know what you mean I have to cut back on my Disney talk with my coworkers and family, I'm starting to drive them all nuts. At least I still have the Dis to keep myself sane.

Thanks for posting this! Any official word on when the BOG restaurant is to open. I'm wondering if it will be open in time for our trip.

No official word other than "Fall 2012" I'm thinking September for all the Fantasyland to be open OTHER than the Snow White 7 Dwarfs mine train...it won't be open until 2014 they say.

The Port Orleans rooms are now OPEN!

They did a cute ceremony apparently where the contractors turn over the rooms to the mousekeeping!

The fountains outside OAK MANOR and PARTERRE PLACE (which ONLY house Royal Rooms now) are now lighted with coloured lights at night. Also they put lights in some of the shrubbery. There are cool twisty topiaries too!

These are the pics that were posted in the POR thread:

Time for new hair!

I got over 4 inches cut off and I now have an inverted bob!

Also no more red. It's now brown with lot's of blond highlights!

That is a DOPE t-shirt

Thanks Sam! I love it!!!! But I don't wear it as much since I want to support the "new" Winnipeg Jets and the new logo!

I wear tons of other teams' logos all the time... that's funny that you don't even wear the old logo of your team! Love it. Fans are so different (heck, I'm currently wearing a blackhawks t-shirt and yesterday I wore a Canucks shirt).
I have a shirt just like yours that is Richard instead

 

[pinkxray]

Your hair looks great I love the color.

The royal rooms turned out amazing. You must be even more excited now that they are finally done. I can't wait to head back to POR to stay in one of those rooms.

There is a lot of nonsense attached to the new vs old Jets. So I choose to mostly wear the new logo to show I support the 'new' Jets. If that makes sense. My jersey is the new logo and so is my hoody. I have 2 Jets shirts with the new logo and this one I'm wearing in my picture.

Thank you very much!

I am totally more excited now that the rooms are open and we're getting more pictures and stuff! It's just so cool! I can't wait to get there and surprise the kids!!!!!!!

 

[Sam33]

Yep, that makes total sense to me!

I do love both logos and jerseys, though. They make me wish my team had good jerseys! Our old jerseys were so awesome and so were the Nords jerseys but I try and wear the current players more than my old jerseys. So the ugly jerseys! Ugh. They're also annoying because the big 'A' on the old jerseys was kind of soft and smaller whereas the new jerseys the A is HARD and large and it's really annoying to wear.
But I suppose I gotta support the young guys!

Your hair looks great! I saw if on FB, and i was going to tell you there, but I decided to just do it on here! haha That style really fits you!

It's almost exactly 6 months until my Disney trip!! I can't even believe it!! Since I started couting down at 18 months, 6 sounds sooooo much better! haha

Now, hopefully I won't have to postpone it! I'm interviewing for new jobs, and I'm really hoping that I won't have to move our dates!!! But, a new/better job will pay for itself in the long run! haha

I hope you have a great week!
