It's My Birthday & I'll Disney if I Wanna! ~ A Dec 2015 PTR - COMPLETE!

[Elevationist]

You need to make something up then! LOL! We need something to read woman!

Good lawd! I'm a week behind on about 30 PTR/TRs... wanna read those and play catch-up for me?

One benefit of being in the UK is I booked my 2016 trip ages ago I'm so excited that you'll have a double pre-TR going

Ha! Well, I don't intend on it being a dual PTR. I'll announce the booking next week, but probably won't mention it much after that. I'll be putting it aside so that I have something to work on and write about in a brand new PTR thread when I get back from my December trip!

Uh, no! LOL! I have my own issues...lots of reports to catch up on, and goodness...I really need to move onto Day 4 of my TR!

I just enjoy reading your report. I, like some people I know, will not be constantly putting "impatient looking" memes on your report.

It's okay. I really don't mind the impatient gifs. As you know, I actually find them incredibly amusing. I'm glad to hear you enjoy reading my PTR! I just wish that I had more to write about right now!

I feel the same way about my PTR ... and I just got park hours!

You can always just keep posting cat pictures ... people love cat pictures!

You did? YAY! Of course I checked every day for the last week or so. Then I get back to work today, and forget to check. DOH! I'm happy you finally got them, though! PLANNING! Woo!

You know, even the cats haven't done anything photo-worthy lately! Those little furry jerks are dropping the ball!

You should look at the park hours. No Extra Magic Hours. And very basic hours ... almost like they couldn't come up with any days that they may want to keep the parks open an extra hour or two. Not very helpful for the planning.

Well ... cats. They don't care about doing cute things for the internet.

I'm looking forward to next Monday so I can lock down my 2016 trip, too! As much as I would dearly love to stay Deluxe (also in an Epcot-area resort for easy access to F&W, thinking Beach Club), since this is supposed to be a "cheap" trip in 2016 because I'm also saving for a newer car (originally it was supposed to be NO trip in 2016, but who am I kidding?), I just can't justify the additional $800 or so to upgrade for a 3-night trip. Someday, though! Until then, it's Values or Moderates for me!

Yes, seriously! I haven't had any news to share since my ADR success last week! Unless there's some big development, I probably won't have an update until next Monday when I book my little 2016 trip!

I know. It's hard to justify the cost! We honestly don't mind the busses and have done quite well with them. I don't know what I want yet. Our default of course is POFQ.

And you are officially in the boring stages of trip planning... You don't even need to do any ADR hunting. Your 2016 trip can keep you occupied.

I said to myself today, there are things to be done in July and August so this is the last month of boring!

Ok only 3 pages behind and didn't miss much! If it makes you feel any better... I am planning my May 2016 Trip and thinking about my October 2017 trip !

Whaaaaaaaaat! That's crazy. But I've actually seen that happen before, where they released that hours plan but without the EHM blocks filled-in. Just keep checking back, they're sure to fix it soon!

They are they epitome of indifference. Zero craps given.

It gets worse. Last night, I did detailed planning for all of my Disney vacations through the end of 2018.

Last night I did more than think about my October 2017 trip. I sat down and planned out my park days and all of my ADRs. I'm ridiculous. But I'm going to do Deluxe Dining on that trip and knock out six Signature restaurants for the first time ever, so it was exciting stuff to think about!

OH GOD. Has my thread become so boring that ya'll are bringing games to play in it now? I love it, though! Hmm! I have NO IDEA where that is! The items make me think UK or Germany, or maybe Canada pavilions. The wallpaper makes me think Haunted Mansion. I'm stumped, Lynn!

Right Park Wrong area!

No, just thought I would give you something to post about...see, you can now plan to go find this area...I had never ever been where I found this in all my trips...and as for your guess, again right park, wrong area.

Hmmm. The wallpaper does look like haunted mansion. Do we get second guesses?

Hmmm!!! So it's not in Tomorrowland or Liberty Square... which is odd, because the items all seem to evoke a time period appropriate for Liberty Square. And it's somewhere you had never ever been until recently. It's the mish-mosh of items that's puzzling me. Some of them seem too modern for Frontierland... and not exotic enough for Adventureland... And I can't imagine where they would fit in at Fantasyland or Storybook Circus... They seem the right time period for Main Street USA, but I can't imagine where... AGGGHHHH!!!! I'm totally overthinking this, aren't I???

Okay, time for some process of elimination. My next guess is the Main Street Fire Station.

I figured they'd add them in, I just hope they do it soon.
People on here seem to think that it means EMH are gone for good. There's mass rioting or something. People are crazy!!!

I know this is your December 2015 PTR ... but you can still feel free to share your detailed plans for future trips.
(Btw, "feel free" is code for "do it!")

Bwahaha! Oh man. As much as love and adore the DIS, how cranky people get about some things just cracks me up sometimes. Especially big changes, real or imagined.

I do understand the stress though, I would be in full-on panic mode if they had pulled that crap with the December hours. My sympathies!

I was thinking I might, just for yucks, at some point. I mean, I pretty much have very little plan or write about in regards to this trip for the next 3.5 months or so. Gotta pass the time and keep folks reading somehow!

You are efficient! I'm having trouble deciding what FP's I want. We do those next month!

I still need to come up with a FP plan, too. I'm used to being able to just zip around the park and criss-cross it as much as I want on my ECV, so this time I need to sit down and really plan out how to tackle the parks more methodically, then figure out FPs, also accounting for the fact that I have never traveled with somebody who can't ride anything but the most gentle rides. So it's going to require a good bit of thought and planning. That'll happen in the next 3.5 months at some point.

Yep, I need to remember that I will have a 49 year old mother with MS and a 2 year old with me. Along with that, I'm pregnant so I can't even ride everything. The hardest park so far have been HS. I have a feeling we'll focus more on the shows than the rides.
