Blowing out 22 candles in Disney World! NEW 8.24 page 25

Haha so now I feel dumb! So I called Disney reservations to switch my resort to CSR and well first let me say I was on hold for 30 minutes because my ressie wouldn't open (I guess they are doing some computer updates). It was totally fine with me because I was just listening to the Disney music. So when my reservation finally opened she went to upgrade my resort and told me my new balance and it didn't match the price I was getting online. She said they were having some pricing issues and she would do it again. Still she came up with the same price. It then dawned on me why I was getting a cheaper price...I forgot to add the dining plan on the price I was getting online. So that $200 difference is really $403. Not such a good deal. The girl was so nice about it and understood why I would jump for a $200 deal but that wasn't the case. So needless to say I'm still at Pop which is still exciting none the less. Now to figure out how to spend the extra money!

I still keep going back to the Seaworld idea. I went there once when I was 5 and I don't remember it at all. I wouldn't really trust myself with the Lynx bus...my biggest fear is that I would miss the bus and be stranded. So looking at mears it's $18 roundtrip and they pick you up at your resort and drop you off at the gate. Another thing I like is you have them pick you up anytime you want.

Hmmm what to do, what to do.

I would def do seaworld!!! We always make seaworld a day in our disney trips!!! It is so much fun, and completely different from anyother theme park.

It looks amazing from the website! The park is open from 9-5 do you think you can get a lot of the park done in that amount of time?

Guess who's back at Pop?!?

The more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I love it. We've stayed there the past few trips & it just seems like part of our Disney trips.

I should have known this was going to happen!

Absolutly!!! Everything is laid out very well, and it is very easy to just flow from attraction to attraction.

I know what you mean! Pop just feels like 'home'. Simple and fun! I'm excited you are back there. Are you still in prefered?

Awesome! I'm so excited!

So the 90 day mark has come and gone...I'm down to 88 days to be exact! I called the other day for the Turf Club grill reservation on the 12th and got 5:15 for a time! I figure this will give us enough time to eat and hang out then head over to the MK.


Ohhh and the more I look into Sea world the more I can't wait! From what I can see you can feed dolphins and sting rays which I've ALWAYS wanted to do! I'm sure there must be an extra fee but can't seem the prices anywhere. Do any of you know? Also is there special times to do this? I was a little skeptical about leaving WDW to head to another park but the whole park looks beautiful. I'm so in to all the sea life and creatures that this will be perfect for me! I'm thinking of going on the Wed the 13th so hopefully it wont be too packed since it's mid-week.

Hopefully sometime this weekend if I have some down time I can try and plan out my park days. I can't believe it's already 88 days left. It's going by so fast!!!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Yeah, you can feed the dolphins and stingrays. I'm not sure of the cost and I think you can only do it at certain times (atleast that's how it was for the sealions). You'll really enjoy Sea World...it really is a nice park.

 

[DisneyDreams21]

Hi Cheryl! Thought I'd pop over from the May WDW Meet thread and say hello. There is likely to be a good group of us at POP. I think we'll have to plan to celebrate your b'day all week--Disney style. Mine is in April but May trips just work better for me.

We are under 3 months now : )

Wow Sealions too?! Sounds great! Thanks so much for your help and info I'm really looking forward to it!

Hi Robin! Thanks for coming over! I'm excited to meet everyone I think we are going to have a blast. I didn't realize there were so many staying at Pop!

Getting close now!

 

[tinkerbell87512]

83 more days!

With the countdown getting smaller I figured I better start planning my park days. So this is what I've come to but I'm sure this will change about 100 times before May.

Monday (11th)

Arrive at Pop century
Downtown Disney depending on time
Dinner at Chef Mickey's with Lauren and Jake
Magic Kingdom

Tuesday (12th)
Epcot
Dinner at Turf Club with Lauren and Jake
Magic Kingdom

Wednesday (13th)
Sea World
Back around 6:30ish (I'm assuming)
Resort Hopping-Checking out the Boardwalk!

Thursday (14th)
Animal Kingdom
MGM and catching Fantasmic

Friday (15th)
Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach
Dis meet at the Poly-I think there may be other meets during the weekend too

Saturday (16th)
Downtown Disney
Epcot and catching Illuminations

Sunday (17th-last full day)
Animal Kingdom or MGM
Magic Kingdom

Monday (18th)
Epcot

Of course there will be breaks and spur of the moment plan changes. The only one I'm 100% sure about is the Seaworld day since I have to reserve the Mears transportation. I figure going on a Wed the park will be not as busy.

Well those are my plans as of now. I think they look pretty good. Looks like a lot but as a solo I can get around the parks pretty fast while still enjoying the little details. I can't believe pretty soon my countdown will be in the 70's. I'm so looking forward to Spring and heading down to Disney World! Well I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Valentines day!!!!

It's getting closer!! Your plans look good, how fun that you are going to Seaworld!! It's alot of fun, I haven't been in about 4 years but we loved it. It's not Disney, but still great, I can't wait to hear about it!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

I can't believe our trips are coming up so fast! Yaaaaay! Your plans look great! DTD on a Monday afternoon shouldn't be crowded at all & you'll probably be able to see alot without huge crowds. I think you're going to have a blast at SeaWorld, too!

 

[jewels1916]

Your plans look really great, girl!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Your plans look great so far. Man I am so jealous, I feel like I am the only one on here not going to Disney any time soon (well...as of right now, that could change. Hopefully it will!). I want a DIS meet.

Thanks girl! I've been once (when I was 5). All I can remember is seeing the Shamu show and going up to the glass and having him spash water on the audience. I was so mad that I was soaking wet. Thats all I can remember from my trip to seaworld.

I know, I can't believe it either! Have you made out any plans or are you doing a spur of the moment plan?

I will most likely be hanging around the resort on that monday when I get there. My travel day is usually pretty early so I will probably want that time to relax before our dinner!

Your plans look really great, girl!

Thanks!!!

Thanks girl! I'm sure you will have a trip in the works soon. Since you are DVC members! Maybe one for the summer?!

haha yes, thank goodness for DVC. I don't think we'll be going in the summer since we all agree we couldn't take the heat there. It's kind of funny though, my sister said she wants to go back (usually she is making fun of me for always saying that!) in May or next Jan. when she's done student teaching. I think May would probably be too soon but who knows what may come up...in the mean time I'll just have fun reading everyone's reports (and finishing mine...)!

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Wohooo 80 days to go!!!!


Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Any of you have exciting plans? I've been fighting a bad cold for the past couple days so I think this weekend I'm just going to relax.

Well hope you all have a wonderful Friday and great weekend!

It does get super hot at WDW during the summer months. Oh and the crowds are super crazy!

That's funny your sister is asking to go back. She must have the Disney bug .

 

[Megablocks]

Yay, I caught up! I'm going to try and remember the things that I wanted to comment on as I was reading.

Your bird is adorable! I have two cockatiels, but they're grumpy old men that don't really care for anyone but my dad and my sister.

I loved your pictures from Quincy Market -- I LOVE it there. It's not very far from me. I hate driving in Boston, but it's on the orange line, and there is an orange line station in my city, so it's really easy to get to. I like going there and to the Commons just to take pictures.

I really like all your Disney snowglobes. I can't even tell you how tempted I was by several of them when I was down there. I had to keep on reminding myself that I don't have my own place yet and I really don't have any place for them in my room. That will definitely change whenever I move out.

Finally, I hope you feel better!! I think that there are yucky colds going around -- my sister was sick, and now my cousin has the flu.

 

[Julie Mouse]

Hi Cheryl:

I have to tell you that I check your trip report almost every day even though I don't post anything. You are sooo close to your trip! I hope you are feeling better!

I finally booked a trip of my own - it's a Christmas trip to WDW. I got the offer that you probably got, too, for 40% off. I wanted to wait until the fall schedule came out for my college so that I would be sure finals would be all over with, and it finally was posted on-line this past week. I will be there from December 13 - 18th. Only 294 days to go
