DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[scarlett873]

Morning DIS-a-palooza friends! My computer has some issues yesterday just as the show went up, luckily I was able to listen to the DAP news, just not post nor rework the grid. Guess what I am doing now.....

Standing on your head reciting the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

 

[fakereadhed]

Just booked my flight!!! No turning back now...

Can't wait for TSM 2.0!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dodie]

Someone please reassure me it will be okay if I end up only doing the cruise!

Lyn: It will be okay if you can "only" do the cruise. Phillip and I weren't able to attend DAP last year either because of work commitments and time off and such. I was sad that I missed it, but I loved following along with the live reports and reading all about everyone's adventures once they returned.

Then we did go on PCC 1.0. We had an amazing time on the cruise and, in reality, you can't compare the two events. The cruise will be amazing - and 5 days/4 nights long - plus whatever time you add at WDW before or after. A DCL cruise is amazing in and of itself, but once you add the podcast events, the team, and all of the amazing DISers (over 500 already!) you'll meet - "amazing" won't even begin to describe it.

Edited to add: Did I really use the word "amazing" five times in the above post? Guess it was "amazing."

Baby- beautiful photos of you and your family!

Lyn- Dodie is right- i too missed last year's event, but did the cruise. It is only one night, the cruise will be so much more. YOu can enjoy following along online and then you still have the cruise to look forward to (which I can't do, phooey!). You will have such a blast on the cruise!!!!!

woo hoo, Todd is working his spreadsheet magic!

 

[NancyIL]

Thanks Nancy!!! I think I might go ahead and do that!!! Are the tickets really that close in price between U.T. and WDW?!?!

Undercover Tourist's tickets are a good value for longer-duration tickets, but there's not much savings for just a few days. They sell a 3-day MYW base ticket with 3 days free (so it's a 6-day) for $231.95. The gate price for a 3-day base ticket at WDW is $233.24. That ticket expires 14 days after first use, so unless you'll be at WDW longer than 3 days, the 3 "free" days won't do you any good. If you want to park hop, it's a flat $55.38 add-on - whether you have a 1-day ticket or a 10-day.

**You can order discounted tickets through a link on the DIS, too. Their 3-day base ticket (with 2 days free) is $232: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/tickets.htm#tickettypes. Unfortunately, it looks like the only way to avoid an $8 shipping charge is to pick-up the tickets at their office in Kissimmee. Therefore - I would buy what you need when you get to WDW.

Good morning!

Dodie it was AMAZING!!!!

If I had to choose between DAP and PCC2.0 I would pick the cruise.

Todd I hope your working on the spreadsheet.
Someone has to keep the plans straight.
Todd the keeper of the plans.....

Thanks for the compliments!!! And thanks to Anna who gave me the link to learn how to post...I really appreciate that!!!

Nancy-Thanks for the info!!! I'm wondering if I should just get an AP because my family is planning on returning back in either September or November of next year. The only problem is is that I'll be in school and possibly doing my clinicals at that time. I don't want to get an AP and then have it go to waste. If for some reason I couldn't go, could I give it to my husband and he could use it in my place or does he have to have one all on his own?!?

OK....so are we doing TSM for the main event of DAP or what's the deal?? I need to know people!!!! For people like me who are stuck with nooooo way of either listening to it on comp or iPod!!! I know, I know, I know!!!

Only one person can use a ticket. AP's have the name and address of the owner in addition to the finger scan. You could buy a 10-day non-expiring ticket (base or hopper) and use that for 2 or more trips. A 10-day non-expiring park hopper from UT is $508.95 ($461.95 for the base ticket), and a little less if you subscribe to the MouseSavers' newsletter and enter from that link. If money is tight, I would get what you need for this trip and get what you need next year at that time.

Yes - the Saturday DAP event is Toy Story Mania! If you booked at least 2 hotel nights for DAP through Dreams Unimited - they will contact you about the event, which will be at no charge to you. Good incentive to book your room now, Terrie!

LMAO!!!! Nancy...you make me laugh!!! I was actually just really thinking about this today!! I actually have to go and bartend tonight...which I rarely do...and I thought if I could just make enough for a ressie for a hotel room...I'd be set!!! I think I will go the room only way and then I might as well get the tickets while I'm at Disney...or maybe I will order them ahead of time....I'm not sure yet.

PLEASE everyone send me some Pixie Dust!!! I'm supposed to working a German gala fest thing where all they do is drink...I've never experienced this before!!! So hopefully....they'll give me lots of money!!! And then DH really can't complain about no extra money for DAP!!! Well...he really hasn't...but this is a definite!!!

Was it dazzling perhaps???

 

[scarlett873]

Was it dazzling perhaps???

Oooooh...I like dazzling!!

 

[Dodie]

Was it dazzling perhaps???

Yes it was, as a matter of fact. I should have used that adjective at least once, eliminating one "amazing."

I HAVE SUCCUMBED. This week's podcast pushed me over the edge. I am using my 2 free nights at the Swan Dolphin for DAP instead of my trip in April. I even have an old non expiring park hopper with days left. And the SW flights seem to be relatively cheap. If I do counter service for meals, that will make the trip much more affordable. Of course my TIW card will still be good, so who knows about the food.

DAP Here I Come.
