DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[baby1disney]

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...

Todd...I'm glad you had an awesome weekend!!! And your "Dole Whip"?? Was it good?!?! And as far as wearing a DIS shirt or Disney shirt eveyday...I'll do it if you do it!!!

Ooh, Jaime Clones! Excellent!

hmm...suddenly I see myself as a cross between a small Jack Sparrow crossed with the Little Green Men, carrying some great camera accessories...

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!!!!

The deposit for a room-only reservation is one night's room rate - which is $66.67. It's the same no matter how many days you're staying or how close it is to check-in date. However, these discounted rates will NOT be available indefinitely.

I really that staying on property will be your best best. Besides, you mentioned before that you could cancel your other hotel reservation right up to the check in date, but at that point you would be losing the cost of your airfare ( almost all airline tickets are non-refundable these days) &you'd be losing your Toy Story Event fee(s).

Once you have those airline tix in hand you're basically committed to the trip anyway

that is very true..what airline did you book with (baby1) i just had to pay a 150 dollar change fee with continental..so cancelling last minute would def be costly.

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!!

If you go to www.airtran.com/sunshine, they have $25 vouchers for each reservation. You must book your tickets by October 31, and fly by December 18th. I had one sent to me and one sent to DH, and then I booked one way tickets for DAP and saved $50 off of my flights. There is a baggage fee of $15, though, if you check your bags.

Just an option to consider

Gotta be careful about them baggage fees. For the podcast cruise, it cost me nearly double my airfare in baggage fees.

I have gotten used to going carry on only. If you have a duffle and a large tote bag you can stuff quite a bit in there. Add an Owner's Locker at $179/year for unlimited visits and you are all set and don't have to wait for your luggage or pay all those fees. Plus you don't have to store all your WDW trip stuff in your house between trips. I am the type that wants to have everything just in case I need it so the only way I could do carry on is with OL. They are not just for the high rollers- they work at POP housing projects just as well as they do at the DVC resorts.

If you want to laugh our 1st anniversary falls on a "football sunday" my husband told me he would give me whatever I wanted if we didnt have to go out on our anniversary so he could watch football all day!!! so I told him I wanted to stay longer in Disney and he said DONE!!!! I'd sacrifice more anniversaries for more time in disney anyday.

 

[Renysmom]

Those flying Jet Blue start watching your flights, they have pushed mine back by 2 hours already. grrrrr

Not a big deal except that I am considering renting a car and I wanted to be there before dark since I've never driven from the airpor before and now we land after sunset..

It's okay though, still there before Yee Haw Bob time

 

[exwdwcm]

Todd, hope you are feeling better.

I decided to marry a baseball fan in October. Our actually wedding day was one of the longest is Mets history (longest in post season). 15 innings, they watched at the reception and were still watching back in the hotel room. We spent almost our whole wedding day watching a baseball game.

I would trade anniversary for Disney anyday.

I showed up after dark last year, and I hate driving at night. It was actually a really easy drive. Be prepared to pay tolls, though, I was scrambling around in the dark trying to find change to pay them. I think I may have just went through one, too.
