Expedition Orlando! - actual update! Nov 22nd

[Philadisney]

Loved the What Not report! Signing on for the next adventure.

Thanks so much! I can't believe I'll be back in just one month

I'm trying to do a PTR!

Clearly, I needed to read this thread first. LOL!

I'm also heading down for March - yay for March - but from the 8-15. Solo trip. Hopefully, POFQ will be where all the cool kids go.

Oh you will love POFQ!! Have you been there before? It is my very favorite moderate resort. Just gorgeous and lots to do!

Poor Alice!! She's earned her retirement. I am loving the new bag though, very cute!

Nope, I've never been on-site before. This entire trip is a first for me.

It's my bday prezzie to myself. I choose POFQ since I didn't want to overwhelm myself. Any suggestions welcome.

Your bags are the cutest!

So sorry about Alice's retirement. She served you well. I love the new bag too! And a lime green laptop... how perfect!!

thanks, I love it too! In all honesty I am not a Pooh fan, but I do love Piglet. And the classic Pooh style is so cute!

What a great bday present! You will love POFQ. It is great because it's small, so everything is a 5-minute walk. The pool and hot tub are lovely - we used them every day when we stayed there. And I LOVED taking a stroll over to POR to eat at Boatwrights. Also be sure to take the boat ride to Downtown Disney, so relaxing!

Gotta have the DIS lime green....I'm actually wearing a lime green shirt and shoes right now I am bummed about the Alice bag but it was such a hassle on the last trip - I had all these pins stuck in it to keep the strap on and they kept coming loose and stabbing at me. The piglet bag is perfect, it has little pockets on the outside and zips shut, and the material it's made out of is weather resistent.

So far, I am loving it! All the reviews of people coming back in 2009 have been positive. I plan on strolling the grounds my first day and checking everything out - hoping the Butterfly Garden in POR will be there!

No pools or hot tubs for me; I don't like water and don't own a bathing suit.

I will definitely head to Boatwrights, though they are no longer serving breakfast.

Oh, yes, DTD is on the list for the first night. It is one of my favorite places, so that is whay I was looking at DTD resorts first.

Hope your planning is going well!

Funny! And I love the Pooh bag, and the fact that it was draped over a grumpy-looking Mixi.

Thanks! Poor Mixi. I took her to the vet last week and she said Mixi should be on prozac! I bought one of those things you plug into the wall and it emits a scent that is supposed to calm cats. I hope it works.

Thanks LL I have to admit though I'm doing minimal editing on these things, all I did on that last one was type the text and black out some people who could be seen in the ride cars

Thank you so much Hillary! I am having fun doing this pre-trippie although I am not sure how I am going to do the actual trip report yet. Hopefully I'll figure it out when I get there!

SO exciting that you guys have a house!!! We found one we LOVE over the weekend, then found out that three people had just put offers on it the day before We're trying to figure something out but I don't have my hopes up!

I see you updated last night too, I have to go check it out

 

[Lady Lallie]

for park tickets!

for park tickets!

It was fun, I've never bought my tickets from a Disney Store before. Usually I buy them online but for just one 3-day base ticket the savings wasn't really worth it when you factored in shipping. It's cool to have a hard plastic card too instead of the paper ones. I have to admit though I wish it had another character on it, I'm not a huge Goofy fan
I have to wait until we get there to buy my mom's ticket, she only needs a 2-day and apparently you can't buy those ahead of time

Huh. That's weird. I remember when I went with my family when I was 12, I had goofy on my ticket and I wasn't too pleased.

Good luck with the house! We ended up in a similiar situation, we found a house we loved, and found out they had another offer they were considering so we had to move fast! Luckily I knew the owner's mother and called her and we basically got lucky and they did us a favor! It's scary when you find out there are other offers, and just have to go in w/out getting your hopes up! I'm sure you guys will find something you love, sooner or later! good luck and keep us updated!!
