DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[spaddy]

So I made all of my adr's today. I saw on one of the threads on the restaurant board that the system was allowing people to start booking at
3am, so...........of course I woke up at 3 and sure enough I was able to book all my adr's. Got mostly everything I wanted, had to switch some times around, but all in all I think everyone's happy.

I did call this morning and got the CP dinner package at Tutto Italia on
December 9th. I was actually quite shocked I got in. I know it's not a good use of dining credits, but, my mother was really happy as we've never done the CP before, so, that's all that matters.

I wish I had read that 3AM thread before my ADR day. I actually think that was posted the day I was trying to make my ADRs. I was not able to book my +10 online for some reason even though it recognized my reservation number. Very frustrating. I am very glad I did not wake up at 6AM to book online. I went in to tweek some stuff last night and had no problem booking reservations for my +10.

I have decided to use the 2 credits too. I am excited about seeing the CP again and mostly it drives me crazy to pay $20 for my kid to eat and he doesn't touch a thing.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it.

spaddy - DS7 was with my FIL when he hit a deer a couple of years ago, he wanted to go back and get it and see if we could still stuff it for our wall We have just a few stuffed vermints in our house....

I do have some good news to share - my AAA agent called, and she has our Disney docs and ME tags for our trip next month, and is putting them in the mail today

There was definitely no going back for my deer. I was on the highway going 70MPH.

Yay for the cruise docs.

Funny side note. The manager at the Garden View Lounge asked me "what's an ADR"?

That is funny. My Dh gets mad when I speak in abbrevations.

Here is a grid of stuff planned, either by the DIS Unplugged Team or DISers. I don't know of anything else that has been set.

Sorry to quote the entire grid, but wondering if or how we sign for any of the things listed? Is there a thread to join in the festivities?

Booked my first solo trip today for 12/10 - 12/14 at POP...not sure if I've lost my mind! Looks like there may be lots to do, so will not be wandering the parks alone.

Thanks so much!!

Here is a grid with the names of the people organizing the events.

Most of the events have there own threads. Some don't require a special sign up. Only if it requires and ADR.

Congrats on your first solo trip. But you won't be solo for long. We are one big family!!!!

I thought there was supposed to be something for Fri 12/11? I know the Disney institute thing fell through, but I thought they said they were still hoping to do something that day. If DATW is that day, does that mean there won't be anything "official"? I'm just working on my 12/9-20 trip planning, and I've left the 11th open, but if there's nothing going on, I can plan something for that day.

Oh wow, thanks for that tip! Tomorrow I can make ADRs for the first few days of the trip, and even though we don't really have anything firmly planned, I was going to try to play with the online system to see if I could get something. Monday is when we can make the bulk of the trip's ADRs, and I'm really nervous about that one! My birthday is during the trip, and I *really* want to get something good for that day, lol.

I the Beatles Rock Band game...

If you don't see me on here much in the next few days...well you'll know where to find me...

 

[AnneR]

Well this is my good morning post. It kindof tells you a little about my day. Nothing horrible just a busy long day that included 3+ hours of driving, 2 of that in traffic.

Happy Anniversary Teri

Jennifer, sorry your day started so bad. I hope it got better.

My news is that it looks like I am not going to be solo for the entire trip. My oldest daughter has weaseled her way into a long weekend and is planning to come down late Friday.

Can't wait for chat tonight.

 

[aspen37]

Don't worry Anne- you can't miss Todd and his dashing smile and tiara!!!

sounds like all enjoyed a great holiday weekend. I ended up getting sick yesterday....went to the doc today and it is the flu. lovely. still had to go to work since my boss was getting on to me about missing too much (he 'forgot' how i negotiated 3 weeks of vacation vs. 2 in my contract......). so i worked with the flu, just waiting on DH to get home so i can crash, until then, i am watching DS play.

Dodie- welcome home!!!

Lorie- congrats on the ADRs. i make mine on Friday. I hope i get what we want. I understand the 'pressure', Andrea.

I'm sorry your sick and they are making you work, Michelle!
When I had the flu I could not get out of bed to go to work. I hardly remember what happened 4 out of the 6 days. I hope you feel better soon!

Good Morning Everyone!



I agree with everyone else, I hope you got him sick too!

Well, I've had a sucky morning so far. I went out for a walk after the boys got on the bus, and I had a neighbor's dog tag along. I live out in the sticks, so I don't know who's dog it was, but there's always someone's dog tagging along. Anywhoo, another neighbor's dog saw him and ran out in the road to say hi, and a truck came by, swerved to miss the dog following me, and ended up hitting the dog that ran out of the driveway. Turns out, the homeowner and driver are friends, both of them had their kids with them who saw the whole thing, and here's me comforting and stroking the poor dog as his life drained out of him. I called DH and told him about it, and his comment was "well, at least your day can't get any worse".

I'm so sorry this happened to you Jennifer! What an awful way to start your day! I hope the rest of your day went better than the first part.

Congrats on getting all of the ADR's you wanted! I hope I have the same luck as you tomorrow.

I didn't do mine online because the site wouldn't recognize my reservation # that I got from DU. Disney Dining didn't have an issue with it so I'm not sure why the web site does.

Anyways, I was able to call Disney Dining for my ADR's including the Chef Mickey's for 15 people. The only one that I had to call special on was for 14 people at the GF tea. I called the direct number and left a message. Then I called Disney Dining back and got two ADR's for tea. The manager of the Garden View Lounge at the GF returned my call and we were able to work it out from there. I'm glad that I had made the two ADR's from Disney Dining instead of just waiting for a call back. Mine are for 2pm and the mgr could offer me a "group" at 4pm. He turned my two ADR's into a "group".

Funny side note. The manager at the Garden View Lounge asked me "what's an ADR"?

I hope you feel better very soon!

That's great that they got you what you needed for GF tea.
I need to make an ADR for GF tea tomorrow for 10. I hope it goes well.

You never know what they are planning. We have to wait either till the schedule come out or the give us the run down on the podcast.

We just hosted a family reunion with over 150 people from all over North America, and even a couple from Europe. It was ALOT of work, but well worth it

Happy Anniversary! We're celebrating our 10th next week, I have no idea where the time has gone.

We will be celebrating our 10th on Friday.
Yes I know what date that is, September 11th.
What a date for an anniversary.
We have not celebrated our anniversary since that date in 2001.
However I am planning a surprise for DH on that day.
Here's hoping I can pull off the surprize.

Oh Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about your terrible morning. Take comfort knowing you were there to comfort him/her and that they weren't alone. Good luck!

oh gosh Jennifer- that is terrible. so sorry you had to experience that. i truly hope your day gets better and the bad memory of this fades soon.

Jennifer, sorry your day started so bad. I hope it got better.

I'm so sorry this happened to you Jennifer! What an awful way to start your day! I hope the rest of your day went better than the first part.

You'll have better luck reaching him outside of this thread. I don't believe that he reads it...

Start a new thread with his name in the title...or you can try PMing him!
