March 2012: Spring Break, Here we come! Threadjackers take over the world!

Yesterday, I dropped by the TA's office to inquire about "merging" my 1-night SRO reservation into our package. I knew there would be a difference between the costs. I just wasn't sure if she could add a day on to the package with FD. Which is why we booked the SRO the final night. We just weren't sure.

So the TA said she could add it, but we'd have to pay for the dining and rack-rate on the room. I asked her to call and verify. If we had to pay more than the difference of SRO and rack, we'd just keep the SRO.

So she called and then she did this: :eek:

So I did this: :eek: What? <~~~ me whispering to her

They're letting you have FD for that night. It'll only cost you the room + taxes.

Then she wrote down the price, calculated it out to be about a $50 difference. SO I told her to book it. I had to pay the full amount of that night's stay (they couldn't transfer the funds from my SRO over), but I had the funds available, so I told her to do it.

So our PACKAGE is officially March 3-9. I don't have to check in/out on the 3rd and the 4th. :woohoo: Plus ... I get another ADR to add. :lmao:

She was actually picking up the phone to call me when I walked in. My Mickey Mail had arrived. But I'll get new Mickey Mail with my new dates. I cancelled the SRO offer when I got home.

The guy I talked to asked why I was calling and I said to cancel a RO reservation. He was all "Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" and sobbing. He also couldn't understand why I was happy. So I told him that I was cancelling a 1-night RO because I was able to add that 1-night to my Package! I told him we were still going, still arriving on the 3rd, and still staying at CBR. So it was a good cancellation! You can tell he was all excited and bouncing around in his little desk, too! He said he loves to have this kind of cancellations -- where it's not really a cancellation at all! He was worried something bad had happened and we weren't going. We are so there! WOOT! :woohoo: I should get my refund from that in about 3-5 days he says.

So where do I want to eat dinner at on the 3rd? :confused3





When is the DISmeet?

I don't blame you or your husband for skipping MK. I'm not up on my closure dates, will TT be closed at Epcot while you're here? I heard they are putting in a FP at nemo to help with crowd control.

We were at AK yesterday. There were quite a few pardon our appearance signs. Kali was closed, the right exit after you pass the photopass person was closed. That made for quite a bottle neck getting out of the park at closing. It wasn't crowded yesterday, so traffic out of the park kept moving, but it did get very congested until the turnstiles.

Tink, it's at 8pm at POR River Roost lounge on March 8th. :thumbsup2 We'd love for you to come if you're able to!

TT will be open until sometime in April. So we'll have that. :worship: Now that I say this, they'll close it early. :mad:

I saw where they got permits to do construction on lots of queues. I saw pictures of the walls for Nemo.

Kali is supposed to be open when we get there, but I won't be surprised if they push it back, too. :sad2:

Sorry that you had to deal with a bottleneck. Those stink. :guilty:

Than maybe I should just have hand over my KTTW card and meet you all up there, but with my luck mine will be the one that gets dropped.:lmao: Maybe we should rent some of those scooters that TK was always talking about and run some people over.:rotfl2: (Talking about TK, where has she been:confused3) Thanks for the invite, I might just have to take you up on that.:goodvibes

:lmao::rotfl2: I wouldn't trust DH either. Then again, Kouga & Akki are with us, he'll probably walk as slow as they do. :rolleyes:

I'm game for some scooter rentals. :thumbsup2

And please do. If you want to hang with us, some or all day, you're welcome to. We'll just kick you out of the group if we do ADR things. :lmao:


The Dismeet is on March 8th at Yee Haw Bob's from 9-10pm... There are a lot of us that will be in Epcot that day, and some of us would like to stay for Illuminations... It's gonna be a late night! :eek: Do you think you'll be able to come???? I know I would love to meet you!

D~

D, are you staying for IllumiNations? I'm not sure how long his set is. I know we're going to have to skip it.

This is so awesome Liddy! I can't believe they are letting you do that! At this point, I would love to switch from POFQ to a Pirate room at CBR... It's where we really wanted to stay - but at that time, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to make my financial goal with my sewing, so I opted for the cheaper route. Oh well - we are super excited to stay at POFQ - and to be honest, I would never change it this late in the game anyways (that's just me though).

[So where do I want to eat dinner at on the 3rd? :confused3

I am not sure... what are you hungry for???? :rotfl2:

Corri - you can hang with us for a while too! :lovestruc Just in case you get sick of Liddy - it's always good to have a back up plan. :rolleyes1


[D, are you staying for IllumiNations? I'm not sure how long his set is. I know we're going to have to skip it.

I would like to - but we don't have to - since we have another Epcot day on the 11th... It's just that crowds are lower on the 8th. :confused3 We will totally play it by ear. I just checked and it loooks like his show goes until Midnight????

Just friended him on FB too! :) https://www.facebook.com/yehaabob#!/yehaabob?sk=wall

That is great news that you were able to add on the 3rd to your CBR package! :cool1:
 
That is awesome that you are able to change your package. YEAH!!!!

D, are you staying for IllumiNations? I'm not sure how long his set is. I know we're going to have to skip it.

The meet officially starts at 9pm. Everyone is welcome to get there ealier...if you do, can you save a load of seats for the rest of us? :rolleyes1 :lmao:

D~ I do hope you can be there before 10pm. That is our arrival day and we have to get up at like 4 or 4:30 am, so I am not sure how late my family will last at Bob's show. :guilty:
 
I am so glad that you were able to change your reservations to include another day of FD. My vote would be another BREAKFAST!!!:lmao::lmao::thumbsup2

Corri - you can hang with us for a while too! :lovestruc Just in case you get sick of Liddy - it's always good to have a back up plan. :rolleyes1

OK, Ladies. No fighting, there is plenty of me to go around.:thumbsup2

(You like me, you really do.:sad1:)
 
D and Lidian,

Thursday nights are bad. But Thursday late morning or early afternoon would be great at Epcot!!
 
Before I get to comments, I have some super awesome news to share:

I MADE THE DEAN'S LIST!!!!

I am super stoked! I saw the Dean List announcement and almost deleted the email. But I opened it and scrolled through ... and saw my name!!!!!

Who's going to celebrate?

I am! HUZZAH! :woohoo:

Sorry, I am so proud of myself! I just gotta keep it up. :goodvibes





This is so awesome Liddy! I can't believe they are letting you do that! At this point, I would love to switch from POFQ to a Pirate room at CBR...

Oh well - we are super excited to stay at POFQ - and to be honest, I would never change it this late in the game anyways (that's just me though).

Thanks! The TA was shocked. She said she's never had them add days to a package and still get the package. She was ready to quote me a room + dining. So I'm super happy! And now she knows that sometimes they will add to the package, even after the package dates are over. :thumbsup2

You should totally call and see if they can switch your resort! I know I was able to switch resorts before -- after the promotion ended. You should totally do it. :goodvibes We could hang out at the pool.

I am not sure... what are you hungry for????

I dunno. :confused3 Does "everything" count?

Corri - you can hang with us for a while too! Just in case you get sick of Liddy - it's always good to have a back up plan.

I can see it now ... D's phone will be buzzing at 9:05 with a message from Corrine that says:
Zomg D! Where are you? Get me away from this crazy family! HELP!
:lmao:

I would like to - but we don't have to - since we have another Epcot day on the 11th... It's just that crowds are lower on the 8th. We will totally play it by ear. I just checked and it loooks like his show goes until Midnight????

D~

Worst case, you come to the DISmeet with us at 9, and the 11th, you can stake out nice seats early, with snacks. :thumbsup2 We only get one EP day, so it's a bummer ... but I know most people will want to head to bed around 10ish anyway. And we gotta get in bed at a decent hour since we're driving the next AM. :sad:

That is great news that you were able to add on the 3rd to your CBR package!

Thanks! I'm super stoked about it!

That is awesome that you are able to change your package. YEAH!!!!

Thanks! :woohoo:

I'll be there. :thumbsup2 Wait, why are you getting up at 4? :confused: I won't be there early though ... so no seat saving from me. :rolleyes:

I am so glad that you were able to change your reservations to include another day of FD. My vote would be another BREAKFAST!!!

OK, Ladies. No fighting, there is plenty of me to go around.

(You like me, you really do)

Thanks! For an extra $50 and it include food and I don't have to deal with checking in/out, it was so worth it! :goodvibes

However, I don't know where I could do a breakfast ... Maybe check out day. :confused3 I'll have to look at our ADRs and talk it over with DH. We've mentioned going to a park on the 3rd, so we may eat dinner in the park. Still playing it by ear. :thumbsup2

D and Lidian,

Thursday nights are bad. But Thursday late morning or early afternoon would be great at Epcot!!

Tink, you know my plans, just text me anytime you'll be in the same park as me and we'll meet up for a bit. :goodvibes DD has asked several times if we'll see you and Anakin again. :thumbsup2 I hope he's doing well today. :hug:
 
Congratulations on Making the Deans List !!!!! :banana:
 
Congrats on making Dean's list Liddy!

See, I done told my ma I had smart friends.:lmao:
 
Congratulations on making the Dean's List!

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

I can't tell you how much the Mini Golf is as we did not end up going. It will be awhile before I start our TR and get to that part, so I wanted to let you know right away.

I'm glad you made it home safely. I'll be anxiously waiting for your TR! I appreciate the thought! :goodvibes
 
I'm having to do a research problem for my statistics class. I need a sample of people to tell me, in miles, how far it is from their house to CBR. (I did chose the topic, and since CBR is where I'll be calling "home" next month, it seemed fitting.)

All I ask for you to do is use a mapping website, plug in your home address and CBR's address (below), and map it out. Tell me how many miles it is from your home to CBR. I don't need to know where you live, what state, or anything. I just need to know the miles.

Thank you so much for helping me get an A on this project!

CBR address:
900 Cayman Way
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830


Please disregard if you've already left your data on my Facebook. :thumbsup2

Oopsi... I wouldn't miss meeting your or your family... I don't think we will stay for illuminations that night... we have to be up early the next morning for the FP run to TSM. ;)

Of course we like you. :thumbsup2

Tink... I would love to meet you an Anakin - since I think we are the only ones on The Dis who have never met you. So, if you make it to Epcot that day - you need to text me... I'll PM you my ## :)

Is there a prize for the person who is closest? If so, close the contest now...before someone closer answers!

:thumbsup2 How GREAT about your extra day only costing you $50 more with the dining added! I'm still debating on adding dining myself...just haven't worked out the details yet. It's sad that it's so focused on where will we eat THIS time...just the TWO of us! ;)

:thumbsup2 Congrats on making Deans List! :)

Oh and my house is 909 miles away! :)
