July 2011:Calling all planners-Post your dates & Resort

[wintershawl]

I am sorry you had a bad day - that is NO fun. Hope the rest of your week is better. Just keep thinking Disney!

Thanks! I'm starting this new day not thinking about yesterday.... or trying not to at least.


24 days to Disney!

Just a quick question. We're staying offsite, and are getting ready to order our park tickets tonight. Does anyone have any experience with Undercover Tourist? Seems they're a little cheaper than buying directly from WDW if we're not staying at a WDW resort. I've not heard anything bad about them, just thought I'd check and see if there is anyone who actually ordered tickets through them. Definately don't want to be out a thousand bucks on park tickets!!

I just booked the Illuminations Cruise for 7/17 (so excited!!). My husband and I were thinking of taking the kids (13, 11, 6) to a counter service somewhere over in the Yachtclub or Beach Club Resort area prior to our boat ride. We have to be at the Marina at the Yachtclub at 8:00pm. Do you all have any suggestions? The 17th is our last night and based on our current list of ADR's, we'll be out of table service credits by then, so counter service or OOP are our only options. We had planned to be in Epcot that evening anyway, so are we better off finding CS in Epcot and then heading over to the marina? We can walk from Epcot to the marina, right? How far of a walk is it? Any and all suggestions are welcome!!! Thank you!

I have ordered tickets from Undercover Tourist. I had no problems with them at all. We ordered no exp. 10 day park hoppers. They arrived promptly after we ordered them. We've already used them for a few days and are going to use the rest of the days for this trip.

Thank you!! That's exactly what I needed to hear, someone who actually bought tickets from them and used them! I tend to be pretty skeptical about anything and everything! Can't wait to get those tickets ordered!!!

I just realized after looking at the last comment I posted....down to 28 days!!! I've been working so much lately I hadn't been keeping up with my countdown!

That's the night we're going!!!!!! This is one thing that I'm looking forward to. Even more than the Wishes Dessert Party.

July 15, 2000! It doesn't even seem like we got married 11 years ago, feels like a lot less

August 12, here. The first few years were loooooooooong but since then? :

...and then everyone will unfriend me on Facebook...

...wait, is that bad?...

WOOHOO! I just looked at the list and it says you are at 8:15? We are at 8:45... they have more than one a night? Or is that a typo?

I would not unfriend you on FB for being excited about an upcoming trip, especially a DISNEY trip!

I will admit our first few years had up's and downs but lately I duno it's hard to describe, hearing his voice gives me goosebumps KWIM?

I missed my Disney Store UPS delivery yesterday (ordered Meghan her first vynimlation's to trade!) and so I am patiently waiting for today. Going to open a new tab to email my TA and inquire about when I can expect our package for the trip (and remind her that I'm going to be driving to VA on the 10th of July so I won't be here to get my mail )

Makes sense! I am SO excited for this! I have gone back and forth on it, but decided to do it ... the kids will love it, and this will be our BIG trip for a while (I am sure we will do Disney trips again in the near future, but not with all the bells and whistles) ...

Well make sure to say hello to us I will have two little dressed up pirates with me!!!

Well, I actually don't update my status on FB that much, but it amuses me to pretend I do.

And yeah, I know what you mean. To add to the challenge of our marriage, I'm an introvert and he's an extrovert... and 7 months after we got married, we moved from Boston, MA to Ann Arbor, MI. That was HARD. Did I mention that it was also 2001?

But now, I can't imagine NOT waking up next to him... and NOT being married to someone who indulges in my flights of fancy... who puts up with my crankypants and so on. While I put up with the same!

Shout it out where ever you want!! True friends will accept your Disney addiction.

And I wasn't sure about your marriage date, did you get married in 2001?

There is not a lot of variety to the CS restaurants over in the YC/BC area IMO......there are a ton of options in Epcot though.....you might want to look at allears.com - they have the menus for all the counter service (and TS) restaurants - it might help you make a decision. Off the top of my head, we really liked Sunshine Seasons which is in the Land pavilion. But, there are CS options in almost every country around Epcot too.....lots of choices!

That just makes the time go faster. Glad I could help about the tickets I was a bit skeptical at first before I ordered them as well, and someone on here reassured me that they had no problems.

I hope you guys have soooo much fun. I don't know that I would get my dd to do a pirate cruise. I'm looking forward the the Wishes Dessert Party, myself. I've been dying to do that since it started!


I will accept any and all Disney addictions. Seeing as how I have one myself...


We were married 24 years this past May. When we had our honeymoon at WDW it was my first time there, ever. And all that was there were MK and Epcot.
We are debating if we want to go back for our 25th next year. We are talking about going sans child. I don't know if I have it in me to do that I may just have to go back to Vegas and get married by Elvis. Decisions, decisions

I believe they just stagger the times so everyone is not arriving for the party all at the same time. I'm sure a quick search around here might find you more information, like if you would be let in early.

I missed my Disney Store UPS delivery yesterday (ordered Meghan her first vynimlation's to trade!) and so I am patiently waiting for today.

I ordered our first vinylmations for trading too! I was planning on giving them to the kids during the drive, but it's killing me to not know what's inside those boxes!
