Gearing Up For a Birthmasiversary With the Mouse! - A Dec 09 PTR

[JoJo1980]

So glad that everybody enjoyed my unbirthday story.

I'm just popping in to drop a quick note. Sorry that I haven't been around much, I know that I've been neglecting your PTRs almost as much as my own! Some drama went down at work (not with me), and my boss at the hotel is cracking down on bringing laptops for now. Since I work 2 jobs, my downtime at the hotel front desk late at night was when I did the majority of my DISing... or anything at all online, really. When I'm at home, I'm usually catching up on sleep. So that's why I've been a bit MIA. Praying that the laptop ban is only temporary! I'm already sick to death of spending all night watching infomercials on TV!

I hope you're all doing well and that the planning is coming along fabulously. I'll be around to share in it as much as I can manage!

Awww honey We all miss you, but we understand the situation Hope it gets sorted soon so that you and your laptop can be reunited Don't over do the work though, keep yourself healthy for your trip

Thanks, ya'll.

Just popping in for a few minutes before work to point out my ticker.

It says "1 month."

 

[beyondblessed]

Yeah - 1 month!!! That has to be a great feeling!!!

 

[jenbear123]

Woot woot! One month to go!!! So exciting!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND when I went downstairs to leave for work... my Mickey Mail was sitting on my end table in the living room.

PS - I snuck the laptop into work tonight.

YAAAAAAAAAAY for the disney mail

OMG. So I should totally be in bed right now, but I just found out something awesome!

I don't know if you guys are already aware, but they have officially added more Fantasmic shows for December!!

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/hollywood-studios/calendar/
(Click on the individual dates to see show times)

Because of this, I was able to do some rearranging. We are now going to the later Fantasmic showing (which I prefer anyhow, it's waaay less crowded) on 12/2, and I got a WCC res for afterwards at 9:45pm! We were originally scheduled to have dinner at Cape May Cafe that night, but I was able to move it to 12/7 (the night I was originally trying to get an early WCC res) at 5:35pm, before our drive back to South Carolina!

So everything is sorted! I was able to work in WCC, AND get to go to a late Fantasmic show, AND keep my original Ohana res on 12/5 at 9:45pm!

It's all PERFECT (for now)!

This also means I have ADRs to cancel. I have a "To be Cancelled" folder that I move them into, then usually wait until they build up a little before going in and knocking them all out. It's getting to be that time again, so before I do, I'm giving you all first dibs. All are for Party of 2 Adults...

• 12/2: Maya Grill, 7:45am
• 12/2: Cape May Cafe, 8:45pm
• 12/2: Cape May Cafe, 9:00pm
• 12/3: Crystal Palace, 4:30pm
• 12/5: Crystal Palace, 4:25pm
• 12/5: Ohana, 5:00pm
• 12/5: Whispering Canyon Cafe, 9:20pm
• 12/7: Marrakesh, 7:00pm

The Disney Gods seem to be smiling on you, First 1 month, then Disney mail and now extra Fantasmics and ressies you want. How about a little bit of the Magic this way. I'm still trying to kick this left over cough from the flu it just keeps hanging on. I sounds like I'm barking at everyone. Lovely, huh??? I wanna be well for Disney. I got my Gorillapod and have been trying it out the thing is so cool. I'm really looking forward to using it in Disney It doesn't even weigh a pound so it's real easy to carry.

 

[jenbear123]

Yay for Mickey Mail!

Tsk tsk... sneaking in your laptop! What would the boss say?!?!

Be careful about Fantasmic. You might want to have a back up plan just in case. You never know when Disney will shuffle things around again or worse, cancel the show due to inclement weather. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, I just want to be sure that you have a plan B just in case to avoid disappointment. Other than that, your plans look great! Glad to see you also scored WCC at a later time. Can you wait to eat that late?! I'd be STARVING by that time!!

Well, we both plan on getting the Skillet and dessert, so we're going to need to be starving by the time we get to dinner! Plus we're both probably going to be snack-snack-snacking all day long, so I think it will be fine. LOL. Ron prefers later dinner times anyhow, it's how he was raised. At home I like to eat at normal-ish hours, but at Disney I like to eat after all the action is coming to a close, so we don't miss anything. We have a couple other late ADRs that have been booked for ages. (Chef Mickey's @ 9:00pm, Ohana @ 9:45pm.)

I have an 11:00am ADR at CP on the 5th, that is my MK day, so maybe we can meet up that day?

Are you spending all day at MK on 12/5? That's our DHS day, but popping back over to MK around 5pm, in time to catch Spectro and Wishes.

 

[mandy2012]

OMG, how ridiculous am I right now?

My trip is 59 days out.

And I'm already experiencing "Too excited to sleep" syndrome!

Seriously, I just laid in bed for almost an hour, trying to get to sleep. And all I could do was lay there with a whirlwind of WDW thoughts racing through my mind.

I think I need a 12-step program.

Girl I am the same way!!! Just 4 more weeks!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yay for the Mickey mail!!!! That is soooool exciting every time it comes! Hope our boss loosens those strings so you can keep up with your Dising!!!! One month feels unbelievable doesn't it??!!

 

[mandy2012]

Being paid in full (So am I)

Yea, as of right now the plan is to be there all day unless taping gets out of hand, but I think it will be ok, that is my day to watch spectro too, so I really want to be able to stay there and not park hop.

YAY!!!!!!

Isn't mail from Mickey the bestest!!!! I'm hoping to get mine today. LOL DISing from work is the best. I mean as long as there is nothing to do, and if you have a somewhat slow boring job, I feel your pain because I'm right there with you!!

 

[floridascgirl]

I think that I'm having some kind of crazy brain freeze, but I can't remember what "Mickey Mail" is? Should I be expecting something special soon? We check in on 12/3. Since our trip is a surprise for our our DS11, I need to make sure I nab it before he sees it. Can someone remind me what I need to be on the lookout for? We booked a room-only through Disney with no Magical Express involved. Thanks a bunch!
