August 16, 2011, Disney Dream - Part 3

[elgerber]

Did you use a code with Thrifty? I ended up using Budget and feel like it is an okay price but always looking for better.



Who did you rent with? How many days is this for? I would love to have a car for the whole trip but felt like the price was way too high.

I used afdh from mousesavers for Thrifty. Only a couple of cars priced out good, but those were way better than the other agencies. Renting for 3 days does not get a very good rate. I will keep checking as usually a week or two before prices drop like crazy.

I am beat, I have been going nonstop for the last 13 hours and have to get up early tomorrow to finish up for the party. I really hope people show up.

On a totally different note I am dying for Harry Potter on Friday, I cannot wait!!!

I will keep on checking rates and different options on the rental car. I am wondering how far each of the rental places are from the Residence Inn. We also have to rent from a location that will allow us to drop it off as close to Disney as possible on Sunday.

Good luck again with the party! It should be a nice warm day and hopefully sunny skies!

I will be taking Emily and her friend to the midnight showing of HP on Thursday night. I don't have a ticket for me but will be up while they watch it.

I got the new e book passporter too. It downloads really nicely to my Nook, but on my Kindle all the photos are missing and it doesn't visualize nicely for reading. I emailed it as a PDF file to my kindle's email address. Did I do something wrong ? Any advise since you have a kindle ?
I was also going to put it on my phones SD card, since it's in color there.

Can you share how much it was? I have an iPad with the Kindle and Nook app on it. I am not sure how it works to go from the Nook to the Kindle devices though so I can't help you out there.

We were THIS close to the midnight showing, dh didnt care if he saw this one, even though he has seen all the others. Then he saw a commercial And changed his mind, so now we can't go till Friday night , since he gets up at 530 am. I am watching #2 now .

Is the digital passporter the entire book now, or just the first couple hundred pages they mentioned before? If it's the whole thing, I will buy it for my Ipad.

ALL of the book is available now in digital form, whether you purchased it as an ebook or paper form.

You were a chatty bunch last night! I had to weed through 6 pages of new posts...


Having 5 boys over for a sleepover tonight . Plan is to go see Transformers first. Not sure if the weather will hold out for sleeping under the stars.

Your right, I just returned from our holiday weekend in Disney World and I've just now managed to get through the 17 pages since my last visit a week ago.

As for Transformers we wanted to see that but the new Dine In AMC movie theater in Downtown Disney was sold out of tickets. BTW, if you want to eat and dine, it's an extra $2 per person , but I heard it's awesomely different.
We saw X Men instead, that was very good.

Welcome to all the Newcomers too.

How much is the e book?

$19.95, but with discount it's as low as $12.97. The paper versions vary from $21.95 to $41.95 full price, but with the discounts codes you can get them for up to 35% off on their web site. Plus after you've pre-ordered the paper book you can download the ebook version for FREE.

I give Transformers . My DS12 wants a yellow Camaro soooo badly! It is a good looking car, told him to start saving up his money because we're not buying it for him-unless hubby hits Lotto

I'll have to wait until Sunday to see HP; DD doesn't get home from camp until Friday night and DH is rafting with scouts for the weekend. He's read all the books so I should wait for him to see it (and so he can explain to me what's going on, I can't keep the plot straight).

Have a good weekend!!

I have the paper one on hold at bn.com for I think $15, but it never shipped because they changed their shipping date. If the paper book isn't coming out until after the cruise, there is no reason to buy it.

I downloaded it to my iPad and it looks fine - the entire book is in black and white though, except for the cover.

Downloaded it for $13.97 using a discount code.

We watched #2 tonight too. Now, why did we have to watch it on TV when we have the DVD? I have no idea

We'll be seeing the new one too. Looking forward to it.

I have it on Blu ray and I still watched on tv. I wasnt looking to watch it, just stumbled upon it and I NEVER pass on a chance to watch may Rupert Grint .

We watched it tonight as well! Too funny! Now I should be getting ready for bed. Tomorrow will be an early morning long run (probably 15 or so miles )

Me too, just had some wine after a crazy day and party tomorrow, I am barely even conscious at this point...

Anyone else staying @ VB pre-cruise that would want to meet up??

Who did you rent with? How many days is this for? I would love to have a car for the whole trip but felt like the price was way too high.

I rented with Alamo for 13 days. It is really 12 days 8 hours, but charged for 13. I have been checking everyday, using coupon codes, etc. This price is with the Insiders Club, Contract ID 7014696. The prices have gone up again. Keep checking. There are a few threads on the Transportaion link that have coupon codes to try. Most places let you reserve with out a credit card hold so there is no penalty for cancelling, I think I have 8 cars reserved right now! LOL!! I have to get all of them together so I can cancel and just keep this last one.

I also have the Passporter on e-book. I love it on the computer but for my Kindle the print in the PDF format is way too small. I can't read it. I hope the book comes before we leave!

 

[linkandclover]

I have been off of this board since January (my how time flies) and now I have no idea what is going on for this cruise. 3 threads at over a 100 pages each is more than I can manage. Where can I find an update or summary of what is happening.

Thanks
