This PTR was abandoned for so long that I'm afraid I've lost all but a few readers- and it's so many pages long that I'm afraid it's discouraging new people from joining in. I wonder if we shouldn't start a new one...

Thoughts?

I'm ok with that!

 

[-Hope-]

I'm ok with that!

Do you want to do it? We could wait until you finish your TR. I'm fine with either way but I know you like to be in control... (and I have no control issues at all- nope, not a single one!)

 

[Victoriasmom98]

Well, I really don't care who does the ptr or if you start a new one......I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I KNOW WHERE IT IS SO I CAN KEEP UP!!!! There......done ranting now.....

Of course we have to be sure you know where we are, Ann! I think you and Erin are our only faithful readers who stuck with us while Karen was busy planning her other trip and I was just... MIA!

I don't know?? I think we will get more readers if I post about it in my TR at the end? I think sharing a PTR is fine, we just have to make it clear that it's BOTH our PTR's...

Yep, I was thinking the same thing! I've read a few shared PTR/TR and it always works just fine. So, let's wait to start the new one until the end of your TR.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Mmmmm, I'm positive that Sanaa is top on our list for an ADR! Check out the review on a TR I'm reading!

Sanaa

I'm itching to revamp our plans! Let's DO this!

Thanks for sharing my review!!! I had completely missed that you had a PTR going, going back now to catch up!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Oh man, don't spend too much time reading all of our rambling! We're going to start another one when I'm finished with my TR b/c this one has gone on for quite a while and I think we bored everyone to death!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Ok, I'm having all kinds of different ideas, some of them being cutting a day so we can stay deluxe, figuring out where we will want to be the most, etc. etc....

So, here's what I'm thinking. Make a list of all the rides that you want to do for each park. I would put down anything you would like, not just must-do's...then we can compare and it might give us a better idea of what our days will be like. I feel like mixing it up!

It might be better for us to actually go to AK on Saturday afternoon/evening after the Expo, just to do EE and then we don't have to worry about using another morning for that. I don't think the line will be too long near closing!

lots of thoughts...so make the list! That's an order!

 

[-Hope-]

You completely read my mind! I was looking at the schedule thinking we could probably cut a day, stay at a better hotel AND I wouldn't be cutting it so close to Jace's birthday when we get home.

If we do AK on Saturday do you think we'd need hoppers? Not sure how much that would even save us or if it'd be worth...

Okay, off to look at maps and make my list!

My list is done already! neener!

My issue with not doing hoppers is that if we are staying at a better hotel, it's most likely going to be Beach Club or Boardwalk...and that means EPCOT access anytime! For me, that means hoppers. I believe we will have a discount on the tickets so it won't be as expensive for hopping!

Good point about Epcot.

I MIGHT be finished with my list if I wasn't answering emails and replying on the dis...

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Should we post our lists here to compare? I'm gonna!

[-Hope-]

My list is actually really short! Making the list made me realize that I love the atmosphere, freedom and photo ops more than anything else. (Well, and the food and drink!)

And as I told Karen- there is absolutely NOTHING at WDW that I WON'T ride. I can take coasters or leave them but am not opposed or afraid to ride them. So, anything not on my list that is on Karen's is okay with me.

Magic Kingdom

• PhilharMagic
• Splash
• Peter Pan
• Haunted Mansion
• TTA (for pics of course!)

DHS

• Muppets (mostly for pics of the waiting area)
• TSM
• ToT (yep, I'm dragging Karen on this one!)

EPCOT

• Mission: SPACE (GREEN!)
• Soarin' (multiple times please!)
• Anything and everything WORLD SHOWCASE!!!

And that's it! I don't even have a list for AK- nothing there I can't live without.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

New question! BW or BC!??!?!? I'm reading opinions after searching and at this point leaning towards BW b/c it sounds more "adult" than BC but both of them seem to have good points!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

But I'm scared!!!!!!!!

Ok, I forgot about Splash...ok, I didn't forget, but if you want to go, I'll go...damn that drop!

I think MK and Epcot are going to need our most attention and staying at an Epcot resort will make for lots of Epcot time!

 

[-Hope-]

Hmmm... I'll have to ponder that one and look at reviews, pics, etc. My gut is telling me to go with "stuffy" (isn't that what Rey said) Boardwalk but I want to be sure.

Okay, I have to finish making dinner now- my family seems to think their hunger is more important that my DISing.

Ok, are you PURPLE or GREEN???? You are confusing me.

Hunger? Don't they understand that we only have 379 days to get this figured out?!?!

No, no, he didn't say STUFFY, he said "hoity-toity"!

I'm leaning towards BW as well b/c of the nightlife/adult feel...
