January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part III !!!

[Pluto_fan]

Lucky you, having a TA to watch over you! Here it's 9.25 pm and I am desperately trying to stay awake for another hour and a half (I got up today at 5 am to study for a test I had this morning, so I'm pretty tired now). But if it is a package deal as the rumour on the code thread says, it will be no use to us (unless we could qualify for the gift card even with a room-only reservation). But of course I will be happy for all those snowbirds who benefit from the discount!

Maria...I hate to tell you, but it's currently 2:30 pm here in the Eastern US. So two and a half hours to 5:00 pm. Could you go take a nap and wake up, if you think it's important to check right away?

I have a question for all of you experienced Disney travellers! My DD5 has an intolerance to milk. She can't drink cow's milk or eat ice cream. She drinks soy milk at home and I am aware that we can get it at TS and some CS places. She can eat cheese and yogurt. My question is this : Is anybody aware of any places at WDW that sell frozen yogurt? Thanks for your help!
I don't want her to feel left out when her sister gets to have ice cream!

I just peeked at a few menus for MK - didn't see any frozen yogurt but the ice cream stands seem to have alternate cold treats, like ice pops, frozen lemonade and fruit bars. You could check some of the restaurants menus for dessert options too. Oh I see Cosmic Ray's lists strawberry yogurt as a dessert - doesn't say whether it's frozen or not.

Thanks. Do we think this will only be for packages (that is, including park passes) or would it be available for room-only reservations?

As NDG just said, your AAA agent can work it tomorrow. No worries!

From the sound of things this is going to be a package deal!! Someone mentioned before that often after package deals are announced they will sometimes follow with just a room only deal. But don't hold me to that... all this code talk has made for one confused Jennifer LOL!

Plus, I've heard there's plenty of soy milk options throughout WDW. Did you look over at the Disabilities board? They have TONS of great info.

Okay this is nuts! The excitement I'm feeling is like the night before Christmas.....Only.....when I was 9!

My DH has called me 3 times today to find out what is going on on the DIS! He is hooked too! I even caught him reading this thread!

I really hope this deal comes out today! I don't know if I could wait make it more than a few more hours....

I actually pulled out the paint (that I bought the first week of summer) to paint my kitchen. I'm almost 1/3 finished. I just paint a little section and come back and check the DIS...Paint....DIS...Paint....DIS...DIS....DIS...Oh yeah, Ooops the paint is drying out!

See you all in a few.

PIXIE DUST TO YOU ALL!

You're not the only one! (well, I'm a confused Kathy!) I think I'm just going to wait and see. We're perfectly happy with SOG, and we already have tickets...but if they make me an offer I can't refuse, I might think again.

Good afternoon Snowbirds!

Boy you guys were chatty today. I think I missed like 6 pages in 3 hours!

Did I miss anything??? I guess I need to go back and read. . .

Less than 2 hours until 5:00!!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Hey Jenjolt! I just went back and read your PTR! I had started it a bit ago, and finally got back to it. It is awesome! I will keep reading it and look forward to your TR later!
I've had enough work, I'm going home. See you all at "code time" and tonight after Survivor!

 

[BellaSoleil]

Okay, I missed it somewhere. What's going on after Survivor?

Same here! Goodness....at this rate we'll be on Part IV in no time!!!

Shelly...I talked to hubby about the travel credits. I hope this makes sense.

He said to list the item as "Southwest travel credits" list the amount and when they expire.

After someone wins the auction, you then get their name and southwest number. You then log into your sw account, look under ticketless travel credits and put their name and number in and it will transfer the credits to the person who bought them. I hope this makes sense. He said that right now some people are getting more money than what the credits are worth bc if you buy through ebay "buy it now" feature you can get 20% off your purchase. So if you do list it, do it as "buy it now".

Hope that helps.

Ok I'll try to explain this best I can. Your Code/voucher is your booking code from orig ressie. so say code was 6doyy thats what you/person who buys credit needs to put in ticketless travel funds box to use credit.

I would be careful of selling code before you fly if code is same because that is key to your ressie and if you sold code person buying it could go in and cancel your entire flight plan leaving you with no way to get to mickey.

Okay, thanks for the info! I really appreciate it. I will definitely wait until after we get back before I do anything with it. I don't need anything messing up my flights!!

And I have bowling tonight!!!!!!!! We are going out to dinner at 4:30, then bowling at 6:30. I think I may have to call at 5:00 and check from the dinner table. Hopefully I won't be wasting the cell minutes. or annoying my dinner companions. Of course, I'm estimating about a $500 savings for us, so it's worth the aggravation I guess.

I PM'd you!

 

[MindyLuvsMickey]

My TA is completely worthless LOL!!

She doesn't know that much about Disney (clearly) and isn't putting much effort into this whole code thing. YES, I become obsessive. It's my personality. I just want the best deal possible and I don't want to miss out. Y'all understand, right?

Ahhhhh!!! So, that being said . . . After the code is reveals tonight, I will call and leave a message for her with all of my information. She is going to work on it first thing in the morning.

On another note. I just stocked up on my scrapping supplies for after our trip. I've got find some way to kill time in between client. Shopping fills the void

Tonight I am going to the first dinner for our 10 High School Reunion planning committee. Gosh, it doesn't feel like I've been out of High School that long!

Well thank you!!!!! I just wrote the next eppy dedicated to this code mess LOL!!!! I think I'm certifiable!!
