It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

[Lady Lallie]

Are there any restaurants you are kind of iffy about? You could drop one of them.

I'm iffy about 50's Prime Time but am not sure how replacing Kona with that would work. Hmmmm....more planning and tweaking!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Are you doing deluxe or regular dining when you go?

We are doing deluxe for the 4 nights at Pop and regular for three nights at Wilderness Lodge. We would probably fit Kona in while we are at Wilderness Lodge.

 

[Princesskeyblade]

Where are you going??

We are heading to Albany to see some friends but stopping on the way to visit some family in NY.

That's what I was thinking!! We are on the same brain wave. I was thinking we could just pay for the 1900 Park Fare out of pocket. We'll see.....

That is a good idea.... Is 1900 Park Fare expensive?

I'm iffy about 50's Prime Time but am not sure how replacing Kona with that would work. Hmmmm....more planning and tweaking!

I love 50's Prime Time, but if you cancel it would give you an excuse to go back...

 

[Lady Lallie]

That is a good idea.... Is 1900 Park Fare expensive?

I think the breakfast is 18.99 per person. I am not sure. I think it would still be cheaper than paying for Kona dinner out of pocket.

I love 50's Prime Time, but if you cancel it would give you an excuse to go back...

I'm iffy but it's something I want to try at least once!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

Ok, after being 756 jabillion pages behind, I'm caught up. Barely.

Relax, Relax, Relax --- Yep. Relax.

But will you relax?

I am all about the tangible memories!

Do you think this would work for the mall?

As in, "Honey I NEED those shoes as a tangible memory of our trip here today."

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

No pressure or anything, CP.

I am having a spa day/bachelorette party on June 7th. The spa alone is going to cost me $187 with the tip included. Ugh. I am not looking forward too it because of how much money it's going to cost. But if I cut down on what I am having, I will be sitting around waiting for everyone else to get done. DF tells me to go and enjoy myself but it's going to be hard not to focus on the small fortune I am spending.

Your DF is a smart man. This is what I wanted to do for the bride of the wedding I was just in, but she wanted to do dinner and a night out at the clubs. Seriously, stop thinking about the money and enjoy it. While I know that's hard to do (I shouldered the cost of more than half of the shower and the bachelorette) you NEED to. Enjoy. Every. Minute.

I'll just be subscribing to more food porn threads.

No joke. This totally helps.

I avoid paying full-price for movies if I can.

Regal Cinemas does a $5 night on Tuesdays, I think, or at least they used to. Also, if your cinema offers a rewards program, use it! We do and we get something free just about every visit - sometimes a ticket and sometimes a free soda or popcorn...which means in $ value that's about 26.50. Seriously, when did Coke start being made out of gold?

396 DAYS UNTIL DISNEY.....the diet/exercise programme MUST start soon

Come join us on the Shrinking Tinks thread. The links in my siggie.

Isn't TK from MA too? And Tinkerbellarella?

Tink IS from MA, Southeastern MA to be specific. About 45 minutes from the two of you.

And I don't think TK is from MA. I have my suspicions as to where she's "laying low" but totally respect privacy.

If you ever do a DIS meet, let me know the location, and I'll google how far it is from me. I don't do long, long rides alone, but I could be persuaded.

Dude. I'll totally come and pick you up. I LOVE rides in the car.

I guess once we meet in person I won't be able to refer to myself as TK anymore, although I am growing rather fond of that nickname.

What? I can't call you TK at Lapu Lapu Fest? And I was totally going to call your DH, DH. And the DS, DS.

Oh, I agree, you're all totally worth it. Now if we can just find our girl Tink, maybe we could persaude her as well...being my long-lost sister and all...

You found me.

It's good to challenge my OCD every once in awhile, keeps me on my toes.

In Tink's house we call this "challenge" a "hissy fit". LOL

Everything is expensive in Mass. As the helpful lady at the Registry of Motor Vehicles told me two weeks ago, "This IS Massachusetts, it's expensive." This was after I nearly had a heart attack when she told me it would be $90 to convert my driver's license from Maine to Mass. I still think I got ripped off.

"Welcome to Massachusetts. Yes, we have a tax on that too."

So, I'm caught up and will try to stay that way. And I love your MegaList of Lists. I'm in awe.

 

[dizziedupbaby0127]

For the last two nights I have been working on this updated itinerary. I am pretty upset that I can't get it formatted the way I want on here, but that is just something I am going to have to live with. It's good to challenge my OCD every once in awhile, keeps me on my toes.

My detailed version is formatted nicely and also has our confirmation numbers. I also put our meal credits and what we will use them for as well as any out of pocket meals we will have to pay for. DF and I will also be doing a photosession either at GF or WL if they have it set up by then so I have put in a few different times we could possibly do that. For planning purposes, I listed all the rides/attractions I want to hit at a certain park the first time we go said park. Obviously, we might not hit them all that first time so, I will be crossing them off and attempting them the next time. Or we might hit them multiple times.

If I have made any mistakes or planning errors to your trained DIS eyes, please let me know.

I just wanted to let you know that POP will NOT transport your luggage between resorts. DF and I are dealing with the same thing on our Honeymoon (starting at Music then going to the Poly) and I called and the CM told me that their Busses are not equipt to do luggage and that we would need to find our own transportation between the 2 resorts. DF and I decided on a cab, and rumor has it that it would cost about $18 one way.


I also see you have Ghiradellhi listed with a ?, When DF and I were there last the line for horrible we waited like 45 minutes for our ice cream (it was hot May night) but we enjoyed it, So if you are debating it, as long as the line isn't out to the water go for it!

 

[Lady Lallie]

In Tink's house we call this "challenge" a "hissy fit". LOL

We have those in the LL household as well. Especially when the mini blinds are not even...seriously it takes two seconds to do that.

"Welcome to Massachusetts. Yes, we have a tax on that too."

Seriously. You know what gets me though, I used to work in the famouse Kittery Shopping Outlets and people from Massachusetts would come to Maine and argue with me about sales tax on clothes. Yes, in Maine we have sales tax on clothes...grrr. I know my state.

So, I'm caught up and will try to stay that way. And I love your MegaList of Lists. I'm in awe.

So glad you have caught up, we have missed your witty banter.
I feel so special that other planners are in awe of my MegaList.

Ugh. I guess I will have to arrange a taxi. I had heard from another DISer that said they had no problem transporting it. I will have to do some more research.

The debate is more if we can actually eat it at that time, not if we want it.

 

[Princesskeyblade]

"Welcome to Massachusetts. Yes, we have a tax on that too."

That is why Massachusetts is called Taxachusetts!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

So glad you have caught up, we have missed your witty banter.

Awww. I feel so loved.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Awww. I feel so loved.

You should! We miss you when you are gone. I was wondering if all was well in Tinkerbellarella Land.

LL/Dizziedupbaby0127 you don't transfer your bags with you on the bus you arrange for it at the front desk they'll give you a number to phone when your ready to move and someone from the baggage services dept will come and pick up your luggage. We did this last year from ASMovies to WL, it was actually the checkin CM who suggested it and gave us the baggage services number to arrange it. It went very smoothly. Dizzy it may be that the CM you spoke to wasn't on top of their game when it came to services provided by the resort ....unless of course things have changed drastically since last June and I'm talking rubbish (always a risk with me I'm afraid )

Did you just arrange when you got there, or is something I should call Pop about beforehand??

 

[2ScottishPrincesses]

When we checked in at ASMov I asked the CM about taxis to transfer us and our bags to WL. He said that if that's what we wanted to do then no probs but he thught we'd be better arranging for baggage services to transfer our bags for us and just get the bus to MK and then the boat over to WL. We did this and it was fantastic, the bags didn't arrive til around 4:30pm but this wasn't a prob we were very happy with the service .

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

It's so-so. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

I agree with our smart Scot. I'm pretty sure ALL resorts do this, but it's not by the Disney bus. It's an internal resort thing and I've heard of MANY people doing it. I would call ahead of time. You're a planner. It'll make you feel better.

Excellent. I am so glad I had you for this information!

That is all that you can do. If need anything, give a little whistle in the wise words of Jiminy Cricket. (For some reason when I read your post I broke out into song, in my head as per the request of my cubicle mate. For some reason she doesn't like me singing to her 62 times a day. Anyhoo. )

I nearly peed my pants when you called me SMART ...not a word often used to describe me
