I know it is crazy GAD program has ended before the end of March!
I hope you hear back--maybe there is still a spark of hope?

Bummer on the GAD thing not working out. It filled so quickly! I know when I delivered my blankets to the local person she was overwhelmed with the response. You literally could not see any furniture or even the floor of her living room except for a small path. She had 1,000's of blankets. I wonder if Disney expected such a response and what they'll do now for the rest of the year.
I think you'll end up ahead by going with the DDP especially since you're doing HDDR and the CLP pkg, those are budget busters! It's also probably going to be a 'holiday surcharge' timeframe and you won't have to worry about that.
Enjoy the wedding!!
Bummer about the GAD program ending!!!
I was holding out hope that maybe you'd gotten an email but were too busy with wedding stuff to post or email... Bummer... that's all I can say... Bummer!
I hope the park hours cooperate with your planning.![]()
Aww, sorry about the GAD ending.
But, as the saying goes, "When God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window!"
Your window will open soon, I'm sure!
I felt good w/ spending the extra $200 when we were saving $200+ w/ GAD...but now I just don't know and it's so hard to come up w/ a good itinerary till the entertianment schedule is posted.
Have you looked at last year's schedule just to get a feel for what they may do??
It's so hard, even when the schedule is posted three months out, because Disney tends to add-on shows and parades at the last minute on busy holiday weeks!

I hope everything goes well with the wedding this weekend! Have Fun!!

Tour plan help...
How does this sound?
My Mom, Dad, his sister and brother all in the 50-60 age range will be going to Ecpot for 1 day on Saturday 3-27.
According to touring plans it is the best park choice
How does this tour plan sound?
Please respond ASAP, as I need to give my Mom the plan tomorrow morning they leave for Atlanta/FL on Wed.
Expected Arrival from Ft. Myers FL at park opening 9:00 am
1) arrival...if arrive before park opening or shortly after take a moment to view the grandkids LAL tiles
2) See Soarin if standby is 20+ minutes, FP it and come back later
3) LwtLand (my dad and his BIL are gardeners)
4) Seas/Turtle Talk What time is the first Turtle Talk show? Need to be careful they don't get there too early
5) Spaceship Earth (I do not think my Aunt/Uncle have ever been here or at least not in a very long time) I would suggest SE as a whenever they pass by and the line is only in the straight part of the que (walk-on) SE lines seems to ebb and flow these days
6) Either Test Track or green side of Mission Space-possible FP and have lunch and go back
7) lunch before 12 pm at either Sunshine Seasons or Electric Umbrella I personally wouldn't recommend EU with all the great CS place in WS---and I would only recommend SS IF they were going to the Land pav for their Soarin' FP.....3 trips into that thing is probably too much in one morning.
8) Head into WS-start w/ Canada and O Canada Film and special Garden Festival exhibit
I loved the new O Canada film....I'm making DH see it the next time he goes
9) UK pav
10) See movie in France
11) ADR at Teppan Edo at 4:30 pm (arrive at 4:15) and also leave time to view pav.
12) See American Adventure
13) view other pav. based on time/energy
14) see Illuminations at 9:00 pm get spot up to 1 1/2 hrs in advance
What are the crowd levels for that day? 1 1/2 hours to wait for Illum. seems like 45 minutes too long.
so
good, not too much?
thanks

Looks fine to me-I'd do it with my mom or godmother. My one thing would be "O Canada-" I personally don't find the Circlevision films worth the engergy expended standing.
It looks like a good plan to me. Not too packed but you hit the big stuff.
I hope you have time to hit a few more countries in the WS. That's my favorite part of Epcot!
Looks good to me too. A good mix of FW and WS.
Sure they don't need you to come down to be their tour guide.![]()
Looks good to me!![]()

Wedding pic's coming soon....

Looks like a beautiful & very Irish wedding! Love the green beer.But what's that green thing on your brother's hand?
Yes it was, the bridemaids were in green, the bride has green toe nails and lots of little shamrocks everywhere.
so the green Miller glove...that is what is on my brother's hand. One of his friends (who he has know since K) is in promotions for Miller Beer and w/ St. Pat's right around the corner from their wedding he brought these funky beer gloves on the palm side it says "I'm Chi-rish, beer me" as in I'm Chicago-Irish...so the groomsmen and several bridemaids had them on when announced in at the recption plus these green berets...I so wanted a glove...even though I am not a beer person...and I was able to get one last night.
I'm so glad to hear the kids all did well.And you look beautiful all decked out for the occassion!
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, too! The kids are adorable all decked out in their green! The Irish wedding looks absolutely gorgeous!!!
Happy (belated) St. Patrick's Day to you too!! The kids looked adorable in their green-ery. Silly me I didn't even get a pic of mine yesterday, I'm not a morning person so just getting them out the door for school on-time with lunches, etc is a feat.
Yes I actually took the group shot after school.
The wedding pics are beautiful. You all looked wonderful all dressed up! It sounds like you all had a great time despite the weather.
Beautiful wedding pictures Julie! Your kids look fantastic! Such a cute little dress for Margaret!![]()
