Bob, you want to organize a "how many total posts" contest?

 

[Mom2Belle&PeterPan]

Welcome Rachel!

Thanks Mel and Donna for the good stories and jokes! I really enjoyed reading yours Mel as I am both Californian and Irish! Donna, yours was one to make me remember about what is important in life, thanks!

I will be a celebratin' St. Patty's day tomorrow! I am a descendant of "the" Michael Patrick Collins - in fact, one of my five brothers is named "Michael Patrick Collins." Can you tell I am from an Irish Catholic family?!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL!!! ​

~~~Only 3 short hours til' the blarney, laughing, drinkin', and corned beef & cabbage eatin' day begins!!!!!!!~~~

A question for the California Fool's

What are the odds that there will be 2 Fantasmic showings on Aug 17th or 18th? Should I try for reervations for the desert buffet? Any hints on where to wait for the electrical light parade in DCA? Thanks

YES! Try to get reservations for the desert buffet. I highly doubt there will be 2 shows. It is standing room only! No seating unless you get really lucky and get your spot really early! I like Fantasmic @ WDW because of the seating!

The Electrical parade goes through most of the park. We like to hang out near the front where there are some seats. If you have little ones make sure to sit on the ground because the parade and characters all are geared towards the little ones. Way better than Spectromagic! Music is Magical! Do not miss the Electrical Parade!!!!!

 

[rlmkelley]

DO NOT go on the ferris wheel too close to the light parade - we were stuck for 45 minutes and didn't get great seats. I personally like near the entrance b/c we can get out quicker. 30-45 minutes before the parade starts on a week night will get you good seats. (We had passes the last 2 years). The very best time when the parks are empty at DL (and maybe WDW?) is the week before school starts - 5 minute wait max for ANY ride including those you can get fast passes for. School starts for us the week after the cruise.

Rachel Happy St Pat's - heres to a black and tan.

A question mark next to your name means I have heard that you were interested, but do not have anything firm. I will be ordering a few extras, but not very many. If you want to see what they look like, please go to the 3rd newsletter.

When I get the postage rate, I will be sending you a PM with how to pay me, and how you will get your lanyards. I will be mailing them out as soon as I get them, I plan on ordering them the first of July.

Dumb Question ~ When can we start making PS's for this Desert Buffet? or for any of the restaurants?

I have just finally realized that when we have to pay at the 90 day mark, I will be at WDW, so that means I have to pay off earlier. Will faxing in our excursion request hurt in any way shape or form, or should I call them in while at WDW? HELP!

Happy St. Patrick's Day​

[piglet33]

I uploaded the Survivor image that was posted on the other site to CafePress.com and decided to try to order it. I figured maybe I'd have better luck since I wasn't putting it in a store and just had it for me to buy. Well, I just checked and next to my order it says SHIPPED.

Now, I also got an email from them saying that I couldn't use that design too, and now it's not available for me to select. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I really get this order. Who knows, maybe the person that emailed me didn't contact the department that received my order or didn't realize that I had ordered already so that's why it possibly went through.

Kmiles - when you tried to order yours, how far did your order go. Did it say shipped or anything like that before it was removed?

Reneé


Oh, yea HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY everyone

 

[mickeyfan1]

Renee, I doubt you will get that logo from them. They check everything before printing, but it may have gone through.

As far as lanyards, I have encouraged all new comers to look at the picture and PM me if they would like to order, but I think we are about lanyarded out.

 

[kmiles]

Renee--

I actually never got the chance to order from CafePress because they took down the design just after it was uploaded.

The Image Station shirt turned out very well but, as mentioned, the drawback is that you have to print it on the front of the shirt and they only have standard t-shirts available in two colors.

How about that new site you found? It looked like a good one.


Janet--

Not sure if DLR does things the same way as WDW but all park and resort restaurants handle PSings in the same fashion. Well, except for V&A. Some of the DTD restaurants that are not owned by Disney do have different reservation systems in place.

So far the new site that I found still says the shirts were sent to print. Since I've never used them before, I don't know how long it's supposed to take for them to print and then ship them. If both orders go through, then I guess I'll wind up with doubles.

Cafepress still says that my order shipped. I'm waiting for the email with the tracking number, which I should get later today like the others, if they really shipped the order. I ordered as soon as I put the logo up so maybe that helped. We'll see.....

I'll update as soon as I hear from either Company.

 

[kmiles]

WHooo hoooo!

Just got an e-mail from Disney about special Passholder previews of Soarin'! Looks like we'll finally get to experience the attraction next month! And, best of all, we'll be there for the Flower & Garden Festival anyway!

 

[winotracy]

Sounds great kmiles! You'll have to give us a review of it (maybe for the newsletter? hmm?). I can't wait to do Soarin' in CA and then again in FL!
