Exactly, like tomorrow we are going to have sunshine again. The storms are going to hold off until Thursday!!

Well, if my spirits weren't entirely lifted before leaving for my 3 hour Anthro. class they sure are now that I'm home. We spent a good half an hour + watching different scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark (where we had to learn something - Dr. Jones is a baaaad archaeologist, but who cares) which made me a happy camper. I love Indy and it just made me close my eyes and relive IJ in Adventureland. I even started humming the music from the ride.

EEE! I can't wait to ride it again. And again. And again!

My PhotoPass pics are back in my possession (as it turns out, I forgot that Frick still had them...)!!!

And as for the WDFM, I really would love to go. Especially since it's so close to home. All I have to do is spend a little $$ on BART and admission (don't remind me about MUNI though because I hate MUNI) and about an hour of travel and I'm there. So easy. I was supposed to go a couple of weekends ago with my dad since his boss had him home for the week but I got a particularly nasty sinus infection and that idea went out the window and I have yet to make up for it.

I'll go to the WDFM with you in March if Nicknameless can't make it.

I'll keep the offer in mind It would be nice to see a few other Bay Area DIS'ers. It's a bit more convenient for some of us that Disneyland (although I know where I would rather be ...)

So thanks to Hawleys post over on the 2010 Promotion thread I have a little more info on the Fast Passes as an alternative to the free admission, and it does sound a lot like how they went down last year:

Everyone in your party gets 6 passes - 3 from Daisy's favorites and 3 from Donald's favorites.

Daisy's Favorites

• Autopia
• Big Thunder
• Buzz Lightyear
• Grizzly River Run
• Mulholland Madness

Donald's Favorites

• Indiana Jones
• Roger Rabbit
• Space Mountain
• Splash Mountain
• California Screamin'
• Soarin'
• Tower of Terror

The ones in teal are rides that I have no problem riding and the ones in sky blue I may be willing to try. Everything else? There's not a chance in H-E-double-hockey-sticks I will put a foot on them (not my thing by a long shot). Considering it will be summer and the middle of July I think it may be the route I'll be going if, and only if, it's another 5 days for 3 park hopper promotion this summer. Would you do the same thing if you were me, or would you rather get the ears and pins? It's been a while since I've been there during peak season.

I guess then it would be a question of which day to use the FastPasses? We'll be spending Thursday, Friday, Saturday and possibly early Sunday in the parks (no later than probably 1PM) and I'm hoping to use Saturday as our Magic Morning. Would that also be the best day to use our FP's?

I read that you can give your GAD pass to the charity of your choice like the make a wish foundation and I think I am going to do that. I was buying the park hoppers anyway. And now WBG and Berht want to volunteer so they can donate their tickets.

I will admit to being a little selfish - I want a little something for me to help ease this trip so I can do everything I want to do be it my free day or fast passes so I don't end up waiting in lines as long. If we were there for a week, maybe, but not when I've only got a few days I don't think.

I really don't know.

Remember we are going to be there for 6 days. If I was just going for a few days it might make a difference. I think Disney knows what they are doing with this one. It's great marketing.

I remember And I is envious. But I've done my [ close to ] 6 days so I guess I've got to go short this time. I am optomistic that we'll get far more done than I'm planning on. Nameless is usually on the same touring pace as me everywhere we go. But I really want to do at least 1 character meal and a tour which takes time away from other things, plus there will be more nighttime things we'll need to fix into our plans.

Since I have the AP, I read on what the options were.....I'm very interested in the hat with pin...but the FP deal would be nice too. The thing with the FP's.....we get there early enough & have the twins & grandma's tickets that won't be getting on those rides, so we already will have bonus FP's.....so I'm leaning towards the pin.

That's always a good thing. With just the two of us though, not so much. But at the same time, we can always get our FP's early in the morning. The plus side to these, however, is that even when a machine has given out all of it's FP's for the day we can still get some. Could be helpful at nighttime, . I don't know. I tell myself one thing and I think it's a great idea. Then I tell myself something else and I think it wont make a difference.

I can't belive that I haven't been to the WDFM yet. I've had a few opportunites but they have not worked out. Ridiculous.

That's how I feel. It will be a big weight lifted off my shoulders after this weekend, that's for sure. I'll probably squeeze in another visit sometime before I hit DLR again in July though. Just to get me in the mood.

Goood idea.

I really enjoy fantasy YA books too. I just finished the Percy Jackson series (but that's independent reader, no? Like HP?). Anyways, I love that stuff.

Apparently Sunday is the new Saturday, meaning Sunday is more busy than Saturdays because of APs and blackout dates. I say if you get the FPs, use them Friday or Sunday.

 

[kaoden39]

Okay, so upon further study I think my GAD will not be used that way. I am not sure what I am going to use it for now. Argh....I am so confused!!!

I actually just finished Percy Jackson a couple of weeks ago (anything with Greek Mythology is also a big hit with me). What did you think? I just lent the books out to my friend (I'm like her library in that aspect sometimes).

And thanks for the tip on when to use the FP. It totally slipped my mind about blockout dates. Silly me, as I was totally looking into that the other day. We'll probably end up using them on Friday then, rather than Sunday, since it will be a full day and we can use them at night.
