It was all started by a towel...

Like I would actually wait to submit my ADR requests.

I typed up everything in a very detailed e-mail and sent it off to them this morning.

They promptly called to get my credit card to secure our Sunrise Safari. Hopefully that will work out. I am not sure if they fill the safari based on who asked first or what. I guess if we can't get in it's not THAT big of a deal. We did it last year, so missing it this year wouldn't be devastating.

The Universal stuff is still stressing me out.

I pulled up my "transaction details" on Ticketmaster this morning for the Universal tickets. It says my tickets are being printed. Does it really take a WEEK to print tickets that are not for a specific event? They don't know when I am leaving. What if I needed the tickets NOW? I guess if I needed them now I would have chosen the "print at home" feature and been done with it, huh? Whatever.

We are now in possession of ALL of our Universal passes! The free one showed up, and then I FINALLY got the ones I ordered from Ticketmaster. So we're all set with passes.

I'm still very twitchy about the new ADR window. It can't be good. It just can't.

one less thing to worry about.

Ah, the joys of booking airfare 10 months ahead!

Our flight times have changed. Luckily I have a fare tracker that I can't figure out how to cancel. It alerted me to the fact that my flight no longer exists. So, off to the airline website where I see we are leaving DFW 30 minutes earlier (YAY!!) and leaving MCO 20 minutes later (which is more of a whatever than a YAY). Of course this means they moved me to the back of the plane. I REFUSE to sit in the back. So I moved us back to the FRONT of the plane. But not to row 13. NEVER row 13.

Elizabeth I just realized you had this, sorry

100 pins each to trade, Riley would be in heaven I did not even look at pins when I went last month, what new mystery sets do thy have?

The US tickets that you bought from Ticket Master do they have an expiration date? I really should have order tickets for the boys, just in case!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Hi, Janet!

As near as I can tell they don't expire. There are all sorts of letters and numbers on them, but nothing that looks like an expriration.

There is a new pin set that is every letter of the alphabet. And several others, too. I think there will be days we leave the lanyards in the room because it just takes entirely too much time to trade every day.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Sigh.

So, due to the hideous new ADR system I am very nervous about our ADRs. I have discovered that with a split stay, ONLY those ADRs that fall within those dates can be made. So even though we are checking in on 8/1, IPO can't make my ADRs until 90 days from our concierge check in date of 8/5. So 90 days isn't even 90 days!

And now it's time to start thinking about our 2010 dates!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

LOOK! It's a pre-trip where time stands still!!

We seem to be stagnating. No ADRs, nothing else happening. How boring is this?

Soon you'll be in double digits!!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Soon you'll be in double digits!!!

TOMORROW is double digits.
Of course YOU are in SINGLE digits, which is much, much better.

Is single digits a good thing when you aren't packed yet?

 

[bear74]

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Is single digits a good thing when you aren't packed yet?

Um, NO, because the RULE is that you must be packed in full a minimum of 12 days prior to departure. Chop, chop, Bernadette!

And as for me...
DOUBLE DIGITS!!! 99 days 'til departure!!!

Congrats on double digits!!!!!



So...shouldn't it be snip, snip for me? Don't you remember how well I used to play by the RULE before I started sewing and before I got my Owner's Locker? I used to be done packing early so that I could mail a package but now all that stuff is in my Owener's Locker. I'll be a busy beaver this weekend!!!!!

I have tried to work out how an OL would save me from checking 4 bags instead of 3, and I can't see how it would matter. I've looked over the packing list and there just isn't that much stuff I could leave at WDW year round. Poncho and beach towels would be about it.

This countdown is DRAGGING.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

90 days!! 90 days!! 90 days!!

Not that 90 days was good for much, but I DO have TWO ADRs in place now!

Thursday is our 90 day mark for concierge check-in, so hopefully I will have a lovely e-mail from IPO with the rest of my ADRs by the end of the week.
