I'm leaving Friday...have a few random questions...

[krispin41]

I am getting sooooo excited. I don't know how I am going to work the next three days when I am having Disney dreams!

Quick questions:

***I've booked the whole package through the Disney Travel Company...so that means the hotel is all paid for. (Staying at the PPH) I've never paid for a hotel myself (LOL, always the parents), and I only have a debit card. I know, that usually, hotels will "authorize"/put a deposit on your card for room service, etc. Does anyone know how much this is? I just want to be prepared (or if I decided to do cash).

***Are pet souvenirs available in the park? (Toys, t-shirt, etc.) We just got a new puppy, and my Dad is puppy sitting, so I'd like to bring something back for his dog, and our own.

***House of Blues Gospel Breakfast. Any experiences? I think we might enjoy that, and the coupons I found in another thread, make it really tempting.

***This is my DH's first visit and our first Anniversary. I'm doing an in-room celebration (From Mickey & Minnie with Love), I let the vacation planner know it was his first visit (button and autographed pic from Mickey). I've also added sets of embroidered ears for each of us to the in-room celebration.

We've got tickets to the Halloween Party on Friday. I booked Fantasmic! Dessert seating for Saturday, Goofy's Kitchen for Monday, planning on WOC for Sunday (and probably ElecTRONica that night too).

Anything else we should hit? DH is letting me take the lead because I have been several times. Usually I am a one of those people who have to be there from open to close, but I am willing to slow it down a bit, so we can actually relax a bit on our vacation. We both work in the retail industry, and we know this is gonna have to last us until after the Holidays.

Thanks for your input!!

It sounds to me like you have done your homework and wonderful plans in order.
As for your questions. I have been told using a debit card can be a problem. If you have a credit card to use that would be better. If you do not a fee of $200.00 sticks in my mind, of course that is refunded to the card on check-out.
Pet souvenirs are available.
I have no expierence with the Gospel Brunch. But I have heard it is wonderful.
Enjoy your anniversary!

Thanks so much!!

I actually don't have a credit card, I guess I will just give them a phone call.

Is it Friday yet?

It's generally $200, but call PPH to double check.

Is your DH a Disney fan? Make sure to ride Star Tours since it's new, your DH should enjoy that. So make sure to get FP for it first thing in the morning, then ride standby then FP line after.

He's not a huge Disney fan, he also loves any type of ride.but he loves Star Wars and Tron. He actually said to me, that we'd have fun because we'll be together.

Great...make sure you guys ride Star Tours a few times as each time, you may and probably will see different scenes. ElecTRONica should be really cool, check out Flynn's Arcade, the light cycle, the 3D portion about 10 minutes, and the other events going on.
