DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

Do you know how many pieces of paper I have wasted trying to get an itinerary down for for this trip????? I think I've used a whole tree worth of paper. I don't think I've ever been this unsure and confused about a trip before!

What little hair I have left is turning gray(er) with this planning. Saturday early evening will be the only time we have in MK at night. AK is definately going to get the short end of this trip.

Wishes sounds good.

Poor AK. I too, will not be giving it the attention it deserves!

I was thinking of Fantasmic at 6:30, then Osbourne lights and then the party.. how does that sounds??

Sounds good, except for one (quite possibly the most important) part....where's the food? You expect a DISer to go three whole hours without eating???

Fantasmic dinner package.

For last years TSM event DHS closed at 8:00pm and the event began at 9:30pm. This was not bad planning on the part of the podcast team. The gap in time was because event services needs that time to be able to set everything up for the event. They needed to set up tons of tables and chairs for us guests, the food tables etc. They could not do this with the park still open and guests walking through that space, riding TSM etc. Plus keep in mind that guests can get in line for TSM all the way up until park closing. It could possible take an hour or more for those guests to make it through the line and ride. So the event probably won't start until 9:30pm.

Thanks Kim- this is GREAT info I did not know.

that definitely changes plans up a bit and for the better with more time!!!

So if we do an ADR (we planned for Sci Fi that night anyhow)- we should probably make it later- like 7 or 7:30 and then just take our time eating and wandering around a bit or seeing the lights. Do they 'politely' try and usher you out of the lights area at 8pm, or do they let folks hang out for a while? I've never stayed that late in the lights area.

also- isn't it a fantasmic night that night too? I figure it is a good idea to hit up some rides (or the lights) while Fantasmic is going on. I don't have the calendar in front of me though.

HM where for food?? MGM doesn't have as many choices as Epcot.. what do you suggest other than leaving and going to Beaches and Cream for a BIG sundae??

 

[LMO429]

That's a good idea as well



Hi Lauren
I am sooo confused at this point - if it was just the four of us I wouldn't care so much. Since my parents are coming, I want to make the best, most time efficient plans as possible.

Hi!

its just me and my mom this trip so its been easier to plan

I feel the same way. I can't wait to make ADRs and just get it over with.

Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone is having a good day so far.

I had a great day when it came to Disney yesterday. I ordered my Rewards Card from Disney Visa last week for our trip next month, and it came in the mail yesterday. DH asked me if I would rather hold onto it and use it for DAP...um, yeah! I have been using that card exclusively for the past 18 months and paying it off monthly just for this trip. I also just put the kids's tuition and school uniforms on it, too, so score for me!

Also, I was talking to my mom yesterday, and telling her about all the events the weekend of DAP. She said it sounds like a great time, and could she tag along? She is seriously considering it, but then she doesn't know if she would make it here for Christmas (she lives in CA). She's debating now what she's going to do.

On a side note, my parents just moved to a new condo this weekend, and they were sitting on their balcony the other night when fireworks starting going off in the distance - they were from Disneyland!

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Yay I finally get to listen to the podcast and have a cup of coffee in peace. And of course catch up on the DIS. I have no idea what my plans are for dinners and who is visiting. All my family keeps changing things on me.


On a lighter note I went to check out a hospital before I find a part time job. Guess what I can see the Disney Ships docked from the lobby. How cool is that. It was the cape canaveral hospital.

So how is the spread sheet looking Jen/Brandie. Anything new to fill in?

I too wasn't sure what we were doing Saturday before the party. I was planning to do Fantasmic at DHS but I'm not interested in a long wait outside the gates. Since MK is open late we may just stay there, take in Wishes at 8PM, then slowly head over to DHS. (Taking along some Casey's corndog nuggets for the journey!)

I think we might do that- Saturday night is the only night to see spectromagic (7:00) and it's been way too long since I've seen that. We're doing mvmcp on Sunday so we'll probably beat the crowds and bail before wishes.

Good morning everyone. My remote access for work has been out since yesterday PM and IT cannot seem to get it fixed. So I had to make the trek into the office. The cats will miss me today.

No MVMCP for us this year. I'm gonna see Vanessa Williams on Sunday night.

Morning all!!! Sounds like computer issues are all around, George. According to our IT guy, our server crashed around 0500 today. Thankfully it has not been a total system melt down like yesterday. Another fun and enjoyable day. Yippie.

To be a little more on topic, how was chat last night? I was there around 8, but then I got to leave work, so I went home!

I am not sure about the Gospel Brunch. George's mention of a possible recording on Friday has been in my head since I've read it.

Do you have a crush on Vanessa Williams???

Good Morning everyone!!! I was at a conference yesterday and it was AWESOME!!! I haven't felt this good about myself and the work I do in a long time!! I actually cried yesterday a few times!! But..I'm back

Ok...I have a question: Is there any difference in pricing/quotes when you use a TA vs. doing it yourself?? I just wanted to know that. A friend is thinking about coming with me and I told her that I'd ask that question for her.

Also...have I missed anything important from yesterday?? I don't have the time to go and read all the pages...I think when I last read it we were on page 198/199

 

[scarlett873]

I will pop in from time to time...will be busy baking today! My goal is to have everything for this meet done tonight/tomorrow morning. That way once Tonya gets here, I can go play!

Behave kiddies!

 

[shellyminnie]

Morning Everyone!!

I have another 15 minutes before I can print my boarding pass, then I have a few last minute things to pack up and I will be outta here!!

I have a few stops to make before going over to DHS for a few hours, then meeting Dodie and Philip for dinner and shopping at DTD tonight, spending the night by the airport, and then I will be Indy bound tomorrow morning!!

I can't wait to see everyone again!!! But am going to miss everyone who can't be there. You guys will be missed!! Who knows, there might be some dole whip dialing going on sometime this weekend

Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see some of you tomorrow!!
