It just shows how crazy (er...um...I mean "what good Disney/DIS fans") we are.

John and I are doing the same thing. We are arriving on 4/10 and staying at the Hollywood Renaissance. We have some plans to meet with some friends prior to the start of the Advnture

We will be renting a car at LAX and returning it on Tuesday (first day of our Adventure).

I called and verified with ABD that we would be eligible to take advantahe of the ABDtransportation and I was told that there would be no issues. We will schedule our rental return to coincide with other arriving guests.

If you would like to do this, let me know and we ccan work out logistics,

Kevin, this would be a great idea. Right now we're scheduled to rent our car through National and I assume this won't change. We have no plans for that Tuesday morning other than to get up to LAX from Huntington Beach. since we have never been to CA much less driven around LAX we'll be giving ourselves plenty of time to get there and find terminal #7 and plan on taking that noon transfer. We'd love to travel to Hollywood with you and anyone else who might be planning on arriving this way.

You liked the Cosmo slushy I take it. It sounded too tart for my taste. I like sweet drinks.

I did like it!! I didn't think it was all that tart. It isn't as sweet as the Grand Marnier slushie. Do you like the lemon slushie? Is that too tart for you? I suppose this whole discussion could be moot if they don't keep them after F&W anyways.

I didn't have the Lemon Slushie. I did taste Todd's and thought it was good thou. If they don't keep it I will have to try it next year at F&W.

We are devoted to the Podcast crew! Oh and I can't wait to see all of my friends again, and all the news friends I will make this December!

Top that off by checking how many of us are also going to be on podcast cruise 2.0.

I'm thinking perhaps a commune for all of us - all we need are a few V.W. buses to travel in - harkening back to those Woodstock days

Is Jaime involved with this?

Of COURSE she is! You can't leave out a girl who has a man's autograph tattooed on her leg!

teehee!!! I love being able to use a Rick word in my post.

You have a good point.

I was just wondering if any of you were going to take advantage of the LAX airport transfer option on the first day of our adventure.

My husband and I are arriving on saturday April 10th and are spending a few days in Huntington Beach. We'll have a rental car and plan on returning the car on that Tuesday at LAX. The paperwork says we can get a transfer from LAX at the USAir terminal #7 at noon at the baggage desk and then they will get us to the Hollywood Hotel.

So, is anyone else planning on doing this too?

I will be doing this as well. I am coming in on the 10th and will be doing the WB tour and Universal. I am not sure what else I can cram in there, but since I don't have to tote my kids & DH around, I will get to do what I want and take my own sweet time!

If you have booked flights on Southwest, you might want to check the website.

Southwest has lowered their rates slightly.

I shave $60 off the cost of our flights.

Just wanted to let you know.

Chat night Kevin!! See you there!

No change here. But, thanks for the update. We'll keep checking back periodically.

Our flight and hotel are booked for DAP!!! (Thank you Bill! )

Where is everyone staying????? We're staying at Port Orleans - French Quarter.

Has there been a "mini-meet" planned? We are probably NOT going to participate in DATW. I'm not a big drinker and would be out at country #2. If any other non-DIS sponsored events are planned, please let us know. Thanks!

Lots of non-drinkers do DATW! You'll miss out on a lot of fun.

There's a list of non-DIS stuff on the DAP thread, Jennifer. Todd's been maintaining it. If it's not on the new thread yet, go back to the second post on the previous one.
