another question for everyone.....

Sunrise Safari..... Should we do it?

 

[TyRy]

I will be there in 26 days...

Keep and eye out for us and I'll do the same...I'm thinking we'll spend a lot of time at Victoria Falls or the pool (as long as I can avoid being sick again!)

Do either of you have any problems normally with your feet, they are sore or hurt after a day in the parks? I guess I am just trying to gauge if I can wear them, maybe I can try them and bring along another pair of shoes for the day and see....

I don't have any problems with my feet in general. I don't get that achy ''I've been in the parks all day'' feeling when I wear my FitFlops,even though I have been in the park all day.


And yes, you should do the Sunrise Safari, and then tell us all about it

Sunrise Safari..... Should we do it?

Absolutely, positively YES!!!!!

And take your time & enjoy the fabulous breakfast at Pizzafari after the Safari. The Guides stay and eat with the group so it's a fabulous opportunity to really get to know them!



Hey, Elin -- speaking of my dream job......... (too bad I have no qualifications for it! )

another question for everyone.....

Most definitely!

I read on another thread that Fit Flops (at least some styles) are on sale for 50% off at Macy's right now!

 

[tiggrbaby]

I know this off topic but.....

Has anyone tried the FitFlops or the ShapeUps for use in the parks or everyday use?

I have Plantar Fasciitis and have heard good and bad things about them...

I have plantar fasciitis and what works the best for me is to massage my foot with a tennis ball! I roll it with firm pressure for two minutes every morning and every night. I even carried it in my camera bag to use if my foot got sore. I would suggest bringing a variety of footwear, so you can change a necessary.

I wore sketchers shape-ups/tone-ups and I love them. I trekked all over and did not get tired once. Usually, by the time I get to Soarin, I am exhausted from the walk and the climb and rushing to the fast-pass machine. Not this time. They are my official Disney footwear from now on. I want to try the fitflops next.

Laura - As long as we are looking for your dream job, you might as well dream BIG! Think about going back to school.

I'm not THAT ambitious!!!

Another obstacle: my family has told me they would miss me if I moved to Florida. Appears I'd be going alone!!

Athenna, I was hoping to get some of your expert advice! I'm waiting for Oct 5 to book SWA and leaving the Friday before Easter for AKL Is it best to book the day their rates come out? I've never traveled during busy season and I usually do the waiting game with SWA and book when the rates drop a little. Any advice you could give would be so helpful Thanks, Athenna!

From my experience going the last 2 years during April vacation I found it better to book ASAP, since this will be a busy week and the flights tend to sell out faster. The April 2010 flights that we needed never went down and actually sold out a few weeks later.

OT: I get to get my Disney fix today. We have tickets for Toy Story on Ice

 

[lissiesmum]

Woo hoo, TXMickeyLover! Did you do your resort online check in today?

lissiesmum, yes that totally counts, making ADR's is fun I've got a bunch for December. I don't remember if I posted them or not Oh well, they say the memory is the first thing to go

Thanks, Athenna! I can't wait to email IPO all of my info...just waiting for the calendar to be posted the beginning of October so I can finalize everything for April. I laughed about your memory going, because I woke up a few days ago sweating because I woke up from a dream thinking that I forgot to make my ADRs and I wasn't going to be able to eat anywhere on our vacation! And then I realized, thank goodness it's only a dream! Phew!

Congrats to all of you doing your single digit dance...I'll be doing my six month mark dance next month Happy weekend, everyone

Thanks for the info! I figured it might be best to book ASAP. I saw a segment over the summer on The Today Show about booking SWA at 3pm on Tuesdays for their best fares...I think Oct 5 is a Tuesday so hopefully I'll have a little luck I keep checking the WDW website and all resorts the week after Easter are still wide open...I'm hoping they'll be releasing some discounts soon...please please!

It wasn't for a holiday week, but when we booked this Oct trip on SWA I booked it the day the released the schedule. The fares only went up and have never come back down to what we paid.

Thanks TyRy! This helps a lot and I will be sure to book our trip when I get out of work. I do not want to risk the fares going up, as I'm sure they will be an exorbitant amount as it is!

So sorry it took me so long to see this post...I was lazy in turning on the computer this morning and I'm in training for as half marathon, so by the time I ran, showered, etc, I'm just getting here now.
I agree 100% w/miprender, a week like that, you should book asap...And the prices seem to go up instead of down so once you see a good price, lock it in

Since we're staying Club Level, I'm not going to do online check in this time. I can't believe it's only 1 week from today!!!
