1. If I were on a flight and the pilot/captain(whatever they call themselves depending on what airline I'm on) gave the reason for the delay that they were on the DIS I would think that was a reasonable excuse! At least it would be something rather than 'we're delayed for some inexplicable reason which we're not going to tell you'! So, my vote is yes, you can be late due to updating your PJ
2. Good luck to your parents getting out of Chicago, we have never had good luck flying in or out of O'Hare -- so hopefully it's not there. Seriously, I'd pay more to have a connection in Timbuktu than fly through O'Hare airport!
3. Your itinerary sounds fantastic!! Illuminations....meh -- I'm a total Fantasmic! fan, so I'm not as bothered to miss that one TBH......I will duck in case anyone throws things at me!
4. I can not WAIT to hear all about the PS! Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly for you!
5. And I will just be for you to return to report back to us!!
1. LOL! You're right we never tell passengers "real" information and I think that's sad. I think the modus operandi is the less you know the less you'll be scared. I think the opposite is true. I find passengers appreciate real information even if it isn't good news. Too bad you're never on my flights. I always try to give real information and why its important we're waiting or doing what we're doing the way we're doing it. Of course, you'd KNOW if you were on one of my planes because we'd be "delayed due to PJ update!"
2. This morning is not going well. They've missed two flights so far. I'm sending them through La Guardia. It looks the best from there and if they do get stuck there, well, I can think of worse places to be stuck! I was once stuck in Tokyo for 3 days!
3. DANG! You're the first person I've ever heard say that! If you posted that on The Knot, you might have to duck, but no one will throw anything at you here.. Least not on MY THREAD! I'm eagle eye'ing all you potential throwers.. don't you dare throw that! Back.away.from.the.projectile! (Seriously, Why are there NEVER the emoticons I want. I'm so going to make my own set. I'm going to add "eagle eye'ing face" to the list along with "butt crack of dawn face"!)
4 & 5. Thanks so much! I will take lots of pictures and report back pronto!

Kate, the trip itinerary sounds FAB!! Doesn't really matter what the plans are, as long as you're at Disney, right!
OK, Soarin is my Mom's fav ride, and I love it too, but the Rockin Roller Coaster is awesome!!! I always make sure that I don't miss HS when I go to Disney just because of that roller coaster, and of course the Tower of Terror is great too if you love having the crap scared out of you and I do I guess because I never miss that one either.
The Rose and Crown Pub in the UK at Epcot is AMAZING! I might be a little biased since DF is Scottish, but oh man, British food is sooo good!!! The Shepards Pie YUM!!! Or the Sunday Roast with Yorkshire Pudding (not like Jello pudding - it's like a bread with gravy) so yummy!!!
And OMGosh, Illuminations, cherish it girl, it's the best fireworks display you will ever see!! It's mine and DF's favorite and our wedding song is actually going to be the song they play as you leave the park right after Illuminations. Beware, it makes me cry every time I watch it!! Make sure you have a Stella at the little outside kiosk where they sell beer or if you like sweeter stuff, try Strongbow cider, both are delish!! One more thing, if you get a chance to see the British band that plays in the courtyard at the back of the UK, they are great too! They play the Beatles and Queen, and other familiar favs, if you like that kind of music.
Ok, last but not least, the Port Orleans French Quarter is a very nice resort! Very laid back Louisiana like and the food is again, AWESOME!! They've just re-done a lot of the rooms there so hopefully you get one of the newer ones. This will be one of room block resorts along with the Pop unless we can get the Art of Animation resort that opens later this year.
I think I've rambled enough now and you got me all excited now so I'll shutup Have fun and I'm looking forward to all the details upon your return!! PS: I posted some pics finally, not sure if you've had a chance to view, but I plan to post wedding dress thoughts and BM dress thoughts as well this week! Stay tuned!
You bet as long as its Disney! I'm quickly becoming a fan and love it more each time I go. It seems to be the one place left on earth where customer service really matters. They really do what ever they do right.
I really haven't been, done, and seen enough at Disney to actually have a favorite yet. Of the ones I HAVE been on, Soarin' just rocks! UH-AWESOME! I love having the crap scared out of me on rides, so I'm thinking HS is a must stop for us this trip!
Thats so sweet about DF and the Rose and Crown. I love that kind of food too. There's a place near my folks called The Claudaugh. That has the same kind of food... YUM YUM YUM in my TUM TUM TUM!
How cool about the illuminations music! What's a Stella and where is this beer stand? I'm sure DF will know, but I've never heard of such a thing! Sounds great!
The hotels: We did a property tour when we were on our site visit. (SOO recommended if you're unfamiliar with the resorts like I am!) We just loved Port Orleans and the renovated rooms are fantastic!! Its a great price for what you get, and I LOVE that you don't have to walk a mile to get to your room like some other resorts. We weren't able to get the Art of Animation, but we knew it was coming and REALLY wanted it. Guess we're just getting married too soon!
Our LOA had to be in before Art of Animation was an option.
I really hope y'all get that one!
For our other room block hotels, we wound up choosing: GF, Contemporary, Port Orleans, and Pop. Honestly we thought most people would stay at Port Orleans or Pop, but most people are either not in our room block at all, or at the GF. PEOPLE!
j/k, I'm just glad people are coming to our little shin-dig!
You can never ramble too much! I love your rambling and I love that you're here following along.
Btw, you can see I just rambled on and on about my hotel block!
I said this on your thread, but I'll say it again (for the third time cause obviously I'm excited to see what you're thinking) I can't wait to see your dress ideas!

I'm having quite the giggle at the mental image of the butt crack of dawn emoticon.
I'm so determined to get down there one day for the Food and Wine Festival. It can't happen this year since I want Christmas time, but one day! *insert Scarlet O'Hara smiley here*
OK, Its official.. you and I are going to make our OWN set of emoticons! Here is the list we desperately need so far!
Butt Crack of Dawn Face
I'm Eagle Eye-ing You Face
Scarlet O'Hara Face

Yay Rose & Crown! We're going there with my parents the first night we get there, and my dad's super excited about "fish and chips from real British people". (My dad's very proud of his English/Irish heritage) And Soarin'! I LOVE it. It makes me ridiculously homesick for my adopted state (I lived in CA for most of my 20s), but I'll always go on it.
That's awesome! Gotta be proud of that Irish heritage. I'm 75% Irish! Fish and chips from REAL British people!?
Only at Disney. Love it!
Soarin' rock. S-O-R-IN in the U-S-A!
Cali gal, huh? What a beautiful state! I can see why that ride would make you homesick! It makes me homesick and I've never lived there! Man the smell of those oranges!

Are you big on roller coasters? Doug loves them and he wasn't too impressed by the Aerosmith one. I watched the Pixar parade because I'm a wuss and don't do fast rides. Same thing with Tower of Terror. Last time I went on it, I recall screaming, "mother of god, I'm going to die" very loudly and having a number of people laugh at me. The good part is that I'm okay with sharing this story with people.
Roller coasters! I grew up in Ohio and we had two major roller coaster parks within a few hours from the house. Needless to say, we went ALL the time! I'm an adrenaline junkie tho so its right up my alley!
OMG! That's so hilarious about your ride on the Tower of Terror!
I may just scream that when I'm there just to actually see the faces of the people around me. Then I'm going to add that emoticon to the list! "Laughing at the crazy woman screaming Mother of God I'm going to Die Face"

Ya know, I gotta tell you - I love when you post. You crack me up, and you just always have such high spirits to your posts, and they cheer me up.
HAHA you're too sweet. Thanks!
But its you that cracks me up! I literally LOL'ed and spit coffee out of my nose when I read your Tower of Terror story! Btw, I'm glad you're good with sharing that story, because the subsequent emoticon that comes from it will be totally worth it!
I love your bouquet inspiration pic, too! I can't wait to read more about your plans!
The only reason I knew was because someone took the time for me. I'm just paying it forward! 
(and yay for signatures that include PJ links! hehe) 
Have your parents been down there before? (I always ask this, since my parents haven't) And where are you guys eating? Curious minds are curious! 
for you to return to report back to us!!
Doesn't really matter what the plans are, as long as you're at Disney, right! 
I always make sure that I don't miss HS when I go to Disney just because of that roller coaster, and of course the Tower of Terror is great too if you love having the crap scared out of you and I do I guess because I never miss that one either. 
and you're right he was scared poop-less!!
