Thanks! I will now find some smaller boxes to mail in and keep them under the 20 pound limit. Not a problem for me - every little thing I can send ahead the better off I am!

Evening all,

Just got caught up...whew...

Air Canada really fouled us up last spring. I had an early morning direct flight to Orlando from Ottawa - arriving at 10:30...and a flight back at 8 pm ...ahhhhh

they changed the early morming one to a late afternoon one , and the one back left Orlando at 7:30 am....so I lost almost 19 hours at WDW..


This time I thought i would be smart and booked Westjet, direct flight to Orlando leaving at 11:30 am ...giving us loads of time to wake up at a decent hour and drive to the airport

You guessed it...my direct flight now connects through Toronto ( I hate that airport) and leaves Ottawa at 7 am....


They always ask you to call them when they make a major change like that, and when I did the young lady at the other end.....just could not grasp the fact I did not want to go through Toronto (she's in Calgary).....it turns out Westjet cancelled all their direct flights from Ottawa and routed them all through Toronto....


I just like clearing US customs in Ottawa and knowing that when i get off the plane...I'll be in MCO

Sorry...just had to vent...

Then of course i just found out my flight back is now 1/2 an hour earlier.....which would not have been soooo bad except for the fact i built in an extra hour in Toronto to clear customs before our connecting flight home....

All of this talk about people staying before the cruise and people staying after the cruise is really bumming me out (yes, that's what I said, I graduated high school in the very early 1970's)

I wish I could either get some time before the cruise or even better, a few days afterwards to go to DL. I could not swing that with work, I haven't asked, but I don't think I could swing it. People are shocked that I'm going to be gone from work for 2 weeks.

We are only getting the few days before - but not after. We had hoped for after at DL but not going to happen - we are on a 1:00 pm flight on the 25th back to Nashville. We had hoped to visit Califorinia since we have not been before where we could visit and enjoy DL and California. Think of it this way - it gives you a reason to make another trip! That is how I am looking at it.

Far out, I graduated in the very early 70's as well.

Loved reading about Mrs. Bennett. A Chumby is my DB's future. DD loved it as well and her birthday is in July.

Another child of the '70s!

I think we should all bring our high school year books and have a time warp party.

I went to High School in the burbs, we were surrounded by corn fields.

Does anyone watch the cheesy reality show "Flavor of Love" on VH1? I can't believe these women are seriously interested in that aging rapper! It's crazy!

Updates on our plans - feel like it is really getting close!

Well we had planned to come in - stay at a value resort for a few days and do some disney stuff and then transfer over on Friday to the Hyatt so we could take Disney transport from there what ever time we wanted and I did not want to spend the extra $$ on a moderate or above so I was willing to do this extra step.

WELLLLLL I then got to thinking that Friday would be so short and that was really the day to go to MK so I did not want to cut it short with packing and making our way back to the airport but also did not want to wait till the "resort bus" run on Saturday - also having to transport to a resort with our luggage via regular tranporation or taxi.

My solution? We are staying at the All Star Movies - getting there on 7th and checking out on the 10th. We will schedule an early morning Magical Express to take us back to the airport with our luggage - dropping us off close to where we just go and get on a bus to the port! This will allow us best of both worlds I think. The only downside is we will not get to meet up with the Hyatt people on Friday night.

We will be at the Poly for the Lua on Friday night so we will not make the meet in DTD either - kids only asked to do Magic Kingdom and Friday was the best day for us with other things going on.

Is anyone else going early and staying at All Star Movies?

We ended up doing a package with the Disney Dining Deluxe plan for food - so I also have to work on all the ADR's for evertying while we are there. We plan on doing some places we have never eaten at. And I thought making reservations for Palo was exhausting!

On Thursday we are going to one of the water parks - anyone like one over the other more? We love water parks and normally only go to Blizzard Beach because TL is closed when we go in January so we have never been to it.

We will be staying at Port Orleans from the 7th to the 10th. We will be going to Blizzard Beach on the 8th. We did both water parks two years ago, but son wanted to go back to BB. We are going to AK on the 9th.

Ok so I have had a very rough day. I had to teach childrens church this morning but didn't sleep well last night. The childrens church is very unorganized and the kids are nuts. I won't be doing it anymore after April. Then, I was walking around the house today thinking I really want to go to the MK. I fell down the steps. Yes thats right, I was walking along and some how one foot went out in front of me and the other under me. I am ok, a little sore. Dh came made sure I was ok and laughed at me. I learned to to walk near step day dreaming of Disney. I took a nap and DH took me out to dinner.


Also wanted to give to anyone who needs them.
