Yeah, I seem to get a new one every year even though I don't "need" one. I think I have a shopping problem.

My girlfriend Denise has decided she and her 2 kids are going to join us in August. Her dates are August 22 -29th. They are going going to do some things with us and others on their own, which I think will work out well. We won't get sick of them, but Jimmy will have his "best friend" with him.

We are not going to tell Jimmy though. The plan is that they will get in around noonish on the 22nd, which was right around the time we were planning on leaving TL to go back to POP anyway. We will coordinate with cell phones, but we are thinking we when we get back they will be at the pool and we will take Jimmy over there and say "oh look who's here, or if they aren't settled yet we would just go back to the room and have them knock on the door and surprise him this way, what do you all think? (Note: Rose & Matt don't know that Jimmy is going to be there either ) She taking the same incoming flight as me (timewise) so I will be able to better gauge what time we should get back to Pop.

She has asked me to help her come up with a plan, if it's not too much trouble It shouldn't be 2 hard since her kids don't do the wild rides (Splash, BTMRR, etc) DHS will be a little more difficult because they want to see all the shows...ya know the ones we don't ususally go to, so I never plan for

However, now I am panicking. I hope we can get her the 2 or 3 ADR's that they want. Mo and CE I am going to again call CP and try to add them to our 8:05 ADR for CP and if not I will try and make them a seperate one and link it to ours. They always wants to do LTT with us so I am going to try to add them to our ADR or again make a seperate ressie and link them. THe last one she wants to do is breakfast at Akerhaus.

One thing I should point out is that they will not be coming to Weinerfest. I think she is skeered of all of us. When I told Denise approximately 50 people she got this look and almost

DM - none of this is changing any of my plans/days so don't panic. Also doyou have that schedule you are creating in a spreadsheet or a word doc? If I send you my email addy would you send it to me as an attachment, cause then I will shrink it to add to my handy dandy itineray book! Thanks

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Janet, I think that's great! Jimmy will be so surprised I just don't understand why she doesn't want to go to wienerfestapalooza

Will you be able to call to day to get her ADRs?

 

[jcc0621]

That is my plan, but I am trying to figure out if I need a CC for Akerhaus since they include the photopackage now

Good point. I bet they do. But they don't charge it, right?

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Yup, Janet. I just read it on allears. It's a cc hold.

 

[sorul82?]

I don't know if ya'll saw this, but there's a stroller rental price increase. The doubles are going to $31 per day.

I'm glad i bring an umbreall a stroller ($10 @ wally world) or if my mom is with them she gets them for free. That is awful!

That sounds great Janet, to see your friends but not to see them is the best way to go IMHO especially after reading TR's where there are large parties, they never seem to get anything done!!!!!

 

[Montana Disney Fan]

THis from the man who wears the same pair of shorts for 12 straight days

What? I AM TRYING TO BE HELPFUL.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Yup - CC needed. Funny because when I called to make my first round of ADR's I didn't need the cc for Akershaus. But I did need it for the 2nd round.

Ok, well that just settled that - I'm taking 2 Macs.

I think I have a shopping problem.

Nah, what makes you say that?

[sorul82?]

I think I have a shopping problem.

I have a shopping for Crocs problem.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I have a shopping for Crocs problem.

Oh - they just opened a CROCS store at a mall near us! I'm going to head over this weekend!

***************************************************
So I thought this morning I was going to have a HUGE surprise for you all, but the deal fell through. BUT I'll tell you anyway.
So you all heard about ATA Airlines, right? Well guess who had tickets to Hawaii for July..... NO not us, but my brother and his family. You remember "THe Ducks" rights? Well, they were lucky enough to get their money back from VISA, but now their flight cost has gone up from $400 to $800. My DBro said for that price, they should just go to WDW with us.
So I called CRO this morning and asked the nice CM if I could add another room to my current ressie with the 40% code. The CM told me I could add up to 3 rooms! Well color me happy - The Ducks can get a studio at SSR for less than we paid at that other "resort" last year (POFQ). So I tell the CM, "BOOK IT - DAN-O!". I give her all their info and she checks for availability - yippeeeee - they have studios at SSR. Our mojo is on HIGH baby!! I can't wait to call DBro and tell him!
Until........
The CM tells me, I'm sorry, but your PIN code expired 4 days ago! OH CRAPOLA!!!! They would not let me add him to the ressie using the PIN and he would have to pay rack rate. She told me to go ahead and book it and should he get a PIN or should another promo come out, they could apply it to the current ressie. So I did book them, but it doesn't look good. I'm sad.

 

[DisneyJo]

Oh no T I was all and then I read the last bit

OMG you really do love your large group touring don't cha

 

[puggymom]

AWWW T, I'm so sorry, but maybe it will work out for the Ducks and they can come too. I would especially love to meet your SIL, after the wiggling the toes story, my kind of people!

 

[puggymom]

So I was over lurking on the resorts codes board and it looks like free dining starts 8/24 Checking in that day is going to be crazy, I'm doing my resort switch that day

Blah! I loathe free dining - well I loathe the crowds it brings, especially the last week of August. I still think it's not worth it. But that JMHO.

Jo you seriously need to find a new time of year to vacation. I hear October is nice? Perhaps even early December.
LYMI!

 

[princessjv]

I am crazy but right now I have 6 different swimsuits.

I have one...and I feel it is too Moo-mooish'k I DREAD Shopping for a new one. I need the kind that take 10 Lbs off EVERYWHERE!

10 in the butt, 10 in the waist, 10 in the back fat, 10 in the tummy. And whilst I'm at it 10 in the legs too. That should be good.

That will be fun! Best yet, you will have time together and apart to do your own thing.

I don't know if ya'll saw this, but there's a stroller rental price increase. The doubles are going to $31 per day.

NO WAY!

The CM tells me, I'm sorry, but your PIN code expired 4 days ago! OH CRAPOLA!!!!

OUCH I hope something can open up for them. Would they do the free dining thing and take there savings that way?

You'll have to get a move on early and switch before the crowds start rolling in.

LYMI!
