"I Want To Go Back!!!"....a Sept 2010 PTR(upd 10/12-TR Started!)

[Dancegrl624]

When you book onliine, how do you know everything went through, do they give you a confirmation number, like they do when you call?

When you book online, all of your ADR's go into your "cart". Once you're all done you will get a list of all of your ADR's with the confirmation #'s. If you're booking CRT or anywhere else that requires a credit card, you are taken to a page to enter all that info. I wasn't charged for CRT because I have the DDP. It's so quick and easy!

Hooray for getting all your ADRs! Crossing my fingers for FD. When do you think they will announce it if it happens? The current promotion ends tomorrow, right?

Can't wait to see the before/after of Madison's hair.

Thanks! I'm hoping for FD to be released next week. The current promo can be booked through tomorrow and I don't see Disney releasing something like FD on a Sunday. I'm hoping for Mon or Tues for Visa card holders.

YAY!!!!!! For your ADRS!!!!!

So glad you got everything you wanted!! Great choices! I know that Maddie (& you too) will just LOVE CRT!!!

I'm so happy I got everything I wanted and all the times that I wanted. I'm super duper excited for CRT!!!!

Meghan!!!! Yay!!!! You will be glad you got stuff like the 50s Prime Time early...you have longer to walk it all off! Ha!!! Definitely post pictures for us of Maddi!! She is gonna be sooooooo excited to see the new her! LOL....Do they let kids donate their hair to Locks of Love? I just wonder if hers is long enough....I would think it is. We will be anxiously waiting to see her....

Haha!!! So true! I'm definately getting a milkshake with my meal. Madison LOVES her new hair cut. It's so cute! Kids can donate to Locks of Love, but we didn't cut off that much hair. I'd say we cut off maybe 4-5 inches.

Woo-Hoo!!! Your ADRs look amazing!! Congrats on getting everything you wanted. That's awesome! And I can't wait to see Madison's hair! I bet she'll be super cute.

Thanks! I'm so happy with all of our ressies. I didn't just notice this morning that all of our meals are character meals except for 50's PTC!!! Oh well. She's only little once and we actually really like character meals.

Terrific-- so glad you got the places and times you wanted!! Lots of great breakfasts!

We LOVE breakfast at Disney. It really keeps us full for a long time. We did CM around 11/11:30 in June and it was more of a brunch. We grabbed some granola bars in our room and we were fine until our meal. Then, we just ate a later dinner because we were so full! CM and CP are the best and I'm looking forward to 'Ohana and Cape May.

Hooray for ADR's!!! Ohana's is my new favorite- glad to see it on your list. Tell Lilo "aloha" for me! Crossing fingers for FD for you!

Can't wait to see Madison's hair cut!

I'm really looking forward to 'Ohana and being able to check out the Poly. I'm so happy we're eating at the Poly and the BC because they're my dream resorts. I don't know how my family is going to pull me away!

Here are the before pictures:

From the front

And here are the after pics:

Her hair is a bit straighter than usual because they blow dried it a bit at the salon (it's freezing here today!). I'll try to take some better pics some other time. It's so cute and she absolutely loves it. Her ponytail is so short now! No, I didn't cry or anything. It's what she wanted and I was happy to take her to get it cut.

Oooh all the ADR's sound good! The only one I haven't been to is 50's PTC.

What a great idea to get early dinners!

Thanks! I'm hoping to beat some of the crowds by eating early. Plus, we'll be able to get "2nd desserts" later on in the night!

The hair cut is so cute! I bet she feels a lot "lighter". Such a cute kiddo.

I forgot about the Disney Visa-holders getting the FD offer first. Are you a cardholder? I am not, so I guess I will have to wait a bit longer. But if they do offer it to card holders, that's a strong indicator that they'll offer it publicly, right?

Thanks! I think she's pretty darn cute too. Her hair is definately a lot lighter and healthier now.

I do have a Disney Visa. I already put my deposit on that card and then we'll put the remainder on there as well to get the 6 months/0% financing. FD has been released to the general public about 3 days after it's offered to Visa card holders. If it's offered to Visa holders, it's a safe bet to say it will be offered to the GP too.

Hey Meghan!
So glad you got all your ADR's! I didn't even think about doing it online this morning, just called at 7 a.m. like i'm use too....thankfully it worked out great for me, too!

Love Maddie's haircut, so cute!!!

Here's hoping for FD Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Ok, I've changed my ticker a million times in the past 24 hours. I'm not changing it anymore! I realized that I liked the DIStickers better than the ones from themouseforless.com. At first it was too big and it was cutting off the bottom of my previous trips. So, I had to take down Tink next to my name , but it's ok because now I have Minnie. I don't want to change my ticker anymore because I'd like to actually see it move!

Here's hoping for FD Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!

Online reservations are awesome! It's so nice to be able to see everything listed together with all the confirmation #'s. Plus, you can search for multiple days at the same time. I always feel so bad having the CM's check a million different times and dates for me. I know it's their job, but I just feel guilty or something. So happy you got all your ADR's too. I can't believe we'll miss each other at CM by 2 hours! Will you guys be at MK that day?

I really like that I let her cut off that much hair. She loves it and so do I. FD on Monday would be awesome! I have to work early on Tues morning, so I wouldn't have time to call Disney that morning. Monday would be fantastic!

Great ADRs Meghan!! Isn't that online deal a snap?? I think there's a little typo because you have two on the same day at about the same time. I'm guessing it's just the wrong date.

Madison's hair looks so cute!!! I love it!
When Sarah finished kindergarten, her hair was down to her waist and she wanted it short (like shoulder length). We measured and donated a 10 inch ponytail to locks of love. They sent a great postcard thanking her. Her hair ended up a little shorter than shoulder length, but it was so cute!! It's never gotten much longer than her shoulders since, because she likes it more manageable. So do I! She cries when you have to comb through tangles!

Thanks! I'll have to go back and fix my typo! I guess I was a little excited. Madison always cries when I have to comb her hair. I'm hoping that will be over now that it's more managable.

WooHoo for ADRs!!! Great you got everything you wanted!

Madison's hair is really cute!

And your right, it's FREEZING today!

 

[Dancegrl624]

Ok...horrible news. Maybe I'm being a bit over dramatic. Just checked Southwest flights a minute ago and they all jumped to $109 each way!!! JetBlue's are all at either $109 or $119 each way as well. I'm so aggravated! Tony wanted to wait it out a bit and he definately convinced me to wait as well. He wants to make sure the FD is for sure going to be released. I told him Southwest gives travel vouchers if you have to cancel, but he still wanted to wait. I'm hoping that the prices will come down again or I really don't know what to do. I don't think we've ever paid more than $600 roundtrip and we're not willing to do so now. Fingers crossed that prices will come down...and SOON!!!

 

[swwake]

Don't worry too much. Southwest offers specials all the time. If you're not already, make sure you subscribe to the newsletter and Ding fares. You won't get a Ding fare for Sept until August, but if you book a flight before then, and then get a Ding, you can cancel and use the credit to book the Ding.

(You probably already knew all of this.)

I'm in love with my ADR's. We've never had so many TS meals before! In June, we only had 4 and back in Jan 09 I think we only did 3 (since we stayed offsite). I love Madison's hair too. She is really loving her short little ponytail today! It's super cold! The sun is wonderful, but it's so deceiving.

I'm a constant worrier! I do get their low fares emails, but I don't have the Ding thing installed on my desktop. Maybe I'll look into it. Thanks!

If you have an iPhone, there's a Ding app too!

Nope, no iphone. I'd love to have one, but we're with Verizon. I love it too much to switch to another cell phone provider! I'm hoping my DH decides to get a blackberry this year when it comes time to upgrade!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Loooove the haircut!! She is really gone like it as it gets warmer! She is such a cutie patootie!!!!

Thanks!!! We'll probably try to keep it this length over the summer. Her hair just grows so fast!

Yay for getting your ADRS! I like the idea of the early ressies...we have done that too and you definitely can avoid some waits.

Isn't that new online system the best!!!

Love the new haircut!
