Have a safe trip home Fred!!!
Thanks for all the wonderful posts about your trip!
Can't wait to go in March!!!

 

[Majestic]

Yeah it is pouring this AM!!! Wow! Glad I swapped the box out yesterday or I would have been doing it in the rain today.

Yeah I think we did good. We had a great trip and are kinda sad yet kinda happy to be going home. I'm sure you all know the feeling.

Our return flight is Continental #20 from Orlando to Newark. Departs at or around 4:25pm to arrive in NJ around 7:15pm.

Will write later tonight when we get home. Gotta run to help pack.

Don't worry all, I'm leavin' plenty o' lodge back here for yas.

Glad you had a good trip..I am looking forward to seeing the new memory box.

I can't believe it...2 weeks from today I will be doing my last minute packing and laundry!!


FRED!!!!!!! OH, we need your flight # so we can track your trip home!!

LOL!!!

Better go get ready for church...

Majestic,

Have a safe trip home.

I can't wait to see the Suite pictures. MIL has decided to join us in May and I'm seriously considering booking 2 concierge rooms instead.

Have a safe trip home Fred & Family! I lived being at the Lodge through you.

I saw the post about the NYPD pin. AWWW ..thats ok, it was a sweet story. I wish I had put an extra in there, but I dont think I have an extra NYPD Mickey pin. Im not sure when Ill be returning to WDW as Ill be going on a cruise this July and that will tap every cent I have. Ya never know though, if I get alot of bookings I can save more. I need PD for a return visit to my beloved WL.

Woo...its snowing again..
Wow, what a winter this has been so far.

I think Fred just IM'd me that his flight has been delayed...

Anyway..I got a message saying that the flight has been delayed...

FRED JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE SNOW!!

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

Fred's flight has departed MCO at 2218Z which means they left at 5:18p.m. almost an hour late....

We are retutrning to the Lodge Feb 2. I just endured a week of sometimes below zero weather. Now I just finished shoveling 6 when they predicted one. Is it February yet? Are we there yet??

Last time we went to Disney, our first trip to the Lodge, there was no Early Entry. What time will the Boat start on Early Entry Day to MK? We almost missed a character Breakfast at Tony's because the boats didn't start until a half hour after our PS. One of the valets drove us to the MK in a WL van.

Paul & Maureen (3 times each), and Danny (3+, his second visit)

Well an hour wasnt too bad...... When we were there last December we had a two foot snow fall back home and sat in the airport for 8 hours! That was truly awful. We were wishing they would have just cancelled the flight earlier in the day and we could have stayed at the lodge for one more night! So where is Fred now Magic?? Are you tracking?

 

[Kimberle]

uugghh!!

We must have gotten a FOOT of snow today. This is the 3rd time in less than a week!

Is it summer yet?!?!

 

[MAGICinMYHEART]

WOW, they are almost to North Carolina but their air speed is 558kts...@ 33000 ft.

One hour into flight they are 443.52 miles from Orlando

Update
7 min out 6900 ft air speed 280kts must be going to holding pattern est arrival time: 7:25p.m.

well due to conflicting reports on the boards i called disney and they said my room is not a concierge room. bummer. last cm said it was. anywho, i'm wondering if i should call and get it upgraded to concierge or just wait till i arrive. any advice? oh and how much does it cost to upgrade to concierge from a deluxe room, i guess what i'm asking is... can i upgrade my deluxe room to have concierge service, not move to a different room and how much would it cost if i can?

thanks

Morning FloridaCat,

Yes, it does seem like Christmas was months ago not just a few weeks...My nephews have gone though two PlayStations2 already, lucky for them Toys R Us replaced the first one...(just stoped working)

Have a Great Day.

 

[Majestic]

Hi everyone! I am back! Great to be home but the weather ... well you already know.

As for upgrading to concierge, you may want to consider doing that in advance as it is getting tougher and tougher to get an upgrade at check in because the 7th floor has been selling out regularly as of late.

We paid $55 a night after taxes to upgrade this past trip. That could change depending on the season.

Hey Big Guy! Thanks for waving the wand while we were down there. I tried to call you at home all morning from the Lodge Lobby yesterday but got a busy signal. You must have been online.
