First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Five Alive

[tickledtink33]

Is anyone attending chat tonite?

 

[aspen37]

I will. It is hard for me because I don't type fast enough. By the time I type what I want to say we are on another subject or two.

 

[scarlett873]

Good one!!

BTW - I finished Breaking Dawn today!!

 

[scarlett873]

Whatever floats your boat.....or ship

I know it will need some updating once the Podcast Crew announces details on what is confirmed and when...as well as a snazzy name for going to MK...and maybe some more specific stuff...and something about lunch on Friday....and I was gonna see about Expedition Everest....and I've never planned like this for Disney, so if anyone has advice--I am all ears. (not affiliated with Deb's site ). I usually am in charge of conquering Cedar Point for a group (of like 6) so yeah.....

I still haven't gotten to ride Expedition Everest yet...I thought i'd try this trip, but it's going to be a jam-packed 2 park days...not sure I can squeeze it in...

Oh yeah, and I just got back from Target where I just bought all the candy and stuff for my 4th grader's Valentine's party! I went way overboard as usual, but I figure I'm the only mom in her class that will do anything for these parties. Go figure. Valentine parties are so hard to plan. What do the boys want to do at this age? Girls are so much easier, since Valentines day is so girly anyway...

Any ideas?

Oooohh - only two more to go now to beat my old record!

My Boys love to get pencils and notepads.
How about Valentine pencils.

I have my AP from my Mousefest trip, so I don't have a problem with park entry. My only problem is guilt. I don't think I can leave my step mom to go to the Magic Kingdom on Thursday the 14th. She isn't getting any park tickets, so I can't drag...I mean bring her to MK for that day. I figure we are going to hang out on the Boardwalk and Downtown Disney. Maybe watch Illuminations from the Boardwalk, or our room, if we get a decent view of Epcot (not counting on that). She is leaving on Friday, so DATW is not a problem.

Hi Kim, I have a suggestion for a way to get your step mom into the Magic Kingdom. I'm going to PM you.

 

[DVCsince02]

He was soooooo cute. I had to post him.

 

[katscradle]

I was asking DH what he wanted to do about park tickets for the cruise and he promptly decided we all needed to sit down together and sort it out. All I can say is a big thanks Todd! I plan to print the spread sheet and see what we can take in and use that to help sort out park tickets.

DH tends to need the visual and DD is 7 - I am going with the idea that if she gets into 1 or 2 parks and does at least 2 KP missions at Epcot she will be happy.

What's everyone without AP's doing?

Since this will be our first trip as DVC owners, and we will be going again the first 2 weeks in Dec. We will be buying our AP'S as soon as we get there on May 6th.

 

[DVCsince02]

Him too.

Ugh ugh ugh...

So i've been e-mailing back and forth with Teresa about redeeming my AKL & safari prize. We got the hotel booked...and based on the information that I had found, I believed that the safari would be offered on Friday night. Nope. But they have it on Saturday night...ugh ugh ugh ugh...

I've been told that you have to be a guest at AKL at the time that you do the sunset safari thing...I wish that weren't the case because we could do it the Saturday that we arrive! We've got no real plans, other than the Poly meet, but we'd make that with no problem.

DH doesn't want to extend our stay by a night either. I don't know what to do...

Talk him into staying! The safari is not to be missed. Good luck.

Do you have your airfare yet? If not try to talk him into staying another night. Good Luck!

 

[scarlett873]

We've purchased our airfare, but I don't believe that SW charges a change fee, so I could change our flights. I'm just not sure DH wants to. He wanted to be home on Saturday so that he had a full day to rest up and get stuff done before work on Monday.

 

[jeanigor]

How about "Cruising the Kingdom"?

I like that name!!

I like that name also!

So it shall be.

I can understand that. That's why I am leaving late on Saturday. I will have all of Sunday to rest from vacation. He wants two days?

 

[jeanigor]

Is anyone attending chat tonite?

I'm planning on it. DP is all into playing the XBox tonight, so I won't need to worry about spending "quality time" together. He moved the Xbox into the computer room, so we can be slaves to our devices together

Well, your in a tuff spot. Can you use the AK prize another time?

 

[jeanigor]

I thought everything looks great so far!
So do you want to go over to AK on Saturday before you leave? Paul was saying they wanted to do AK on Saturday.

You know I am quite sure that I could spend a morning/early afternoon there.

AP's are automatic park hoppers, right?

I think so. So I guess you have another thing to add to the PLAN!

 

[Madi100]

I have parents that think I'm a teacher. Guess they're not paying too close attention at back to school night!

The good thing about being up there is that I know all the kids in my kids 2 grades- the good ones and the shall I say behaviorally challenged. It's going to be hard next year when DD goes to middle school bcs I wont know her friends or their parents.

I know. I love knowing all my kids' friends because I help so much. That and the parents know me. My DD started middle school this year, and I've done a very good job of letting her do things herself. Today was the first time I've volunteered at the middle school this year. DH went on a field trip with her. And, I think he's banned. He sang Row, Row, Row Your Boat while they were on the canoes. I thought your DD was older than my DD.
