Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

My plans have changed and I am no longer going to be able to make it to DAP. Hopefully I will be able to fit it in my schedule next year!

I will be in Disney from December 15-20th and if anyone is still going to be there, feel free to PM me!

I have a ton of threads I follow...but I will be popping in here from time to time to say hello to my DAP friends!

I'm sorry I wont get to meet you in December, Mary. Hopefully our paths will cross again.

That's great Lauren - what are your dates now?



I know what you mean, it's not the easiest thing in the world to do - well, for me at least

we will be there from dec 9th - dec 15th

 

[tiggerbell]

Jaime - your camera accessories have inspired me as well. I bought the steek and that wonderful bag you had and sent them on my parents' vacation with them.

Ooh, Jaime Clones! Excellent!

Happy Monday!
It's the last official Monday of Summer. We are supposed to have a beautiful day today.

Hate to see summer end

Hi all, been so busy with work and home lately, haven't had much time to read the boards. oh no, it's a crime, isn't it!? lol

Mary- so sorry you can't make DAP. We will be there from 12/10-12/20 though.

Lauren- yeah on extending dates!

I can't believe the trip is like 11 days away. we got all our ADRs booked. my family has gone crazy on eating. We like doing at least one sit down meal a day, but now they are doing 2 on some days. On the dining plan, I think we have: Sci Fi dinner (before TSM2.0), Boma breakfast, CP breakfast, Norway breakfast, Coral Reef lunch, 50s prime time dinner, Ohana dinner, WCC lunch, chef MIckey's dinner, Le Cellier dinner and HDD (OOP). they also added out of pocket a dinner at Shula's to celebrate my BIL's graduation (associates degree, working on BBA). My sister also added a few other breakfasts- Castle, Trail's End and 1900 park fare. I swear they are doing breakfast everyday, but i prefer to spend less time eating and more time in the parks. I think some of those will end up being cancelled. is that a LOT of food or what? we are there 10 nights, but still. I am going to gain 50lbs!'

okay, ready for fall. tired of summer.

Good Morning everyone!!! I hope everyone's weekend was good. I had an ok weekend..but had a bridezilla to deal with...ugh!!

Anyways, thanks to everyone for all of the information about the buses and things. I'm going to call the hotel today and see if they have a shuttle that will take me back and forth.

Now...all I have to do is get a plane ticket!! I've never been on a plane and am totally freakin out about it for some reason. Oh well...I'll get over it!!

I've started my diet..Weight Watchers. Well..I'm using the point system thing. I want to lose 20lbs by Nov 2 and shooting for 30-35lbs by Dec 9th..when I go to DAP!!!

 

[baby1disney]

Oh and one more thing...is there a place to purchase park tickets at DTD or do I have to go to the actual park/TTC to get them??

Yes, you can purchase your park tickets at Guest Services at DTD.

WOOOHOOOO!!! Just got done talking to the reservation agent for my hotel and my total is $201.00..inlcuding taxes!!!! And..it's only $40.00 roundtrip for the shuttle to and from the airport!!! I'm sooo excited about this. And...they also have a timed shuttle that takes me to the parks!!! YAY ME!!!!!


Thanks Donald is #1!! I'll remember that!!

ETD: Does anyone know anything about MEARS Transporation Shuttle services?? I was just told that the hotel doesn't do it, but MEARS will take me. I really haven't heard good things about them from the one podcast that 3guys made me and I think it was Kevin(don't know everyone's voices)who said that he hated them?? I'm not sure. I just wanted to see if anyone else has used them and what's your take on them. Also, if there's someone more dependable/better/nicer, please let me know too!!!

I was so sad for me and for you when you told me last week that you wouldn't be down for DAP. I really wanted to meet you. I am happy for your sake, that you still get a trip in December. Continued pixies to get your strength back.

Mears is rather slow going from the airport, but is fine going from hotel to airport.

Not to beat a dead horse, but a room at All Star Sports for 4 nights would cost $266.68 - and that includes your airport transportation as well as the Toy Story Mania event if you book the resort through DU. You wouldn't have to worry about theme park transportation, and you could take advantage of Extra Magic Hours. Staying offsite will cost $201 for the hotel, $33 for Mears, and $25 for the TSM event - which = $259. In my opinion, it isn't worth the hassle of staying offsite for the $8 savings.

Nancy- I totally understand what you're saying and beeeellllllieve me...I'd WOULD LOOOOOOVE to stay on property, but I just can't swing the deposit right now. I mean, if I knew that I could just walk up to the ASSports check in and get a room...I'd do that. For my group, I don't need to put down a deposit. I can just make a reservation and as long as I cancel before 6pm check in day, I won't get charged. If something changes where I can afford to put the deopsit down..I will. I don't have a credit card per se..but a debit card instead.

I promise Nancy...if something changes...I will be on property!!!!

Morning, everyone! Hope y'all had a great weekend. Ours was alright. Went to the Diabetes Expo. I did a health screening and guess what--I'm diabetic. Guess I haven't been injecting insulin the past eleven years for nothing. Lovely people. Knowledgeable speakers. Too many vendors hocking their wares. Not helpful to the patients.

The first exhibit inside the building was Eli Lilly. (Showin' some props to my favorite drug manufacturer!! Woot Woot)
I found it odd though, that they were giving away non-dairy frozen treats. And I chortled aloud when the lady asked me if I wanted pineapple. So, I guess I had a pseudo Dole whip over the weekend.

I am a bit under the weather today, might leave work a couple hours early. No presents for the Brown Truck of Joy.
However, the good old USPS brought me three presents today!! (I've lost count but I think I am only expecting one or two more....for now.)

Art of Disney Villain Coin. I'm weird. I know. TSM!!! Finally!!! A DIS Unplugged T-shirt. If I wear DIS clothes everyday during DAP, it'll look like I don't know how to do laundry...

how much is the deposit? is it always 200 dollars

 

[kimisabella]

how much is the deposit? is it always 200 dollars

It is $200 for a package, but for room only it is the amount of one nights stay, which for a value would be around $60 or so

 

[baby1disney]

how much is the deposit? is it always 200 dollars

I believe that the deposit it the amount for one room and it also depends on what the rate is. If it's $67.88 for one night(this price is including the tax), then I believe they charge that for the deposit. I think it also depends on how many days you're staying and also the closer you get to it!!

I can't believe the trip is like 11 days away.

Days? I better get packing!
