I came to ask the same thing!

I came to ask the same thing!

Great minds, Kathy; and good friendies!!

 

[PNO4TE]

And I neglected my friendies... I am so sorry!

It took FOREVER, including three stints online and a 30 minute phone call at 7:00, but after 4 hours of work I got what we wanted, when we wanted them. Ended up with bluezoo on Christmas night instead of Flying Fish or Citricos. But we are all happy. At least today we are!

My daughter took me out for brunch after I got back from the grocery shopping to celebrate all my hard work.

 

[TigerKat]

Sounds great Elin, isn't this your first time at bluezoo? It's freaking amazing!!!!!!

YES! And I am NOT canceling it this time! Can you hear me, Bob!?!?!?

When we got up this morning myBob said, "Nine more work days till we leave!"

 

[PNO4TE]

I am not sure how accuweather.com comes up with their forecasts out beyond the next few days. ButI hope they aren't right! Looks like they are predicting a lot of rain for our first 4 days. I better find our ponchos!

Oooh...you have him trained well. I'm the one who does the obsessive countdown in my house, which BTW is at 16 days, 19 hours (and I won't bore you with the minutes and seconds).

Your in the home stretch of things now. I'm just whipping out the suitcases in anticipation.

De-lurking to say that I leave in 9 days as well!

This is Great !!! I leave in seven days our 2nd F&W festival. I have good dining picked out . I couldn't get the Fantasmic Dinner package even though I went online and called at the exact moment I was possibly allowed. Do you think its going to be too difficult to walk up and get in line for the show? Husband not a patient line person.

I hope you have as much fun as we plan to!

You will very easily be able to walk up and get in line for Fantasmic! But I assume that your husband will not be a happy man. The lines are always long to get in. I do believe that the package can only be booked by phone or in person. If I were you I would be calling every day to see if you can book it before you leave. It could happen. And, when you arrive, have your lobby concierge look to see if there is any availability too. Some people have had that happen. Good luck!! And have a ball!!

I love your itinerary and your countdown! 10 days!! I hope you wil enjoy Flying Fish as much as we did! And I will be interested to hear how your lunch at SciFi was. I am all set to eat there in January!!

They haven't been right beyond 4 days out since I've been going, but yet I still check everyday too....

I will make sure to keep copious notes on Sci-Fi, Magdalene. And I think we are going to enjoy FF very much!

Well, we have earned our adult trips! At least that is what we tell our DDs, aged 23 and 31! And sometimes they agree with us.

They haven't been right beyond 4 days out since I've been going, but yet I still check everyday too....

I will look occasionally but I am like you, Kat... take it with a grain of salt.
