May the Force be with who? A May 2013 PTR

[kwitcherkicken99]

I haven't purchased our tickets yet, and I'm getting nervous because there are rumors about that ticket prices will go up as early as April this year.

DH forwarded on an email from his Union about Disney discounts.

And yeah, their discounts are EXACTLY the same as the gate price!

Looks like we'll be ordering from UT here REALLY soon!

Day 84: I want to eat lunch at BoG.

I hear the croque monsieur is AMAZING!

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

Also on the horizon... I'm moving forward with the TA thing.

I started chatting with someone on Lines tonight and she asked me to join up with them.

I may be starting the College of Disney Knowledge here in the very near future.

I was starting to look into this myself... any good threads discussing the different agencies? My concern is that you have to bring in clients yourself... what's the point of joining an agency then? (Besides the insur). I haven't spent a terrible amount of time looking into it, but thought it would be an ideal way to bring in some money... almost too good?

On a different note... We're at the 60 day mark!!!! WOO HOO!! Trying to do online check-in... thinking I might have to wait until 4. Nothing seems to happen when I click on it. But not caring!! SO excited that we're getting closer and closer!!!!

Absolutely!

You have to go through an agency to get the College of Knowledge stuff. I have a few people that I know would go through me, but that was always the reason I got rejected from other companies - not a big enough potential client list. This group seems really great and if they'll get me through the training, I'll be pretty good.

And for being at the 60 day mark!!! Be advised that there are reports of the MDE site being down (again). So be patient!

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

Officially submitted the paperwork to order a small cake and the glass slipper at CRT. The cake will be for DH and the slipper will be for the kids.

I can't wait!

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

Well... it's official!

I have joined the team at Magical Adventures Travel. Cathy, the owner and I chatted last night on Touring Plans and she asked me to join their team. She has known of me on TP for the last three years so my reputation on there helped me interview without interviewing!

I have signed up on the TA site and after she and I chat tomorrow, I'll begin the College of Disney Knowledge. I can't believe it's really real!

 

[DISNEYaddict4evr]

Woowho!!!!! I wish I could add dancing bananas but that feature is not on my phone

 

[Niewoe]

Absolutely!

Definitely needing some patience with the website and app... seems like both are glitchy. When I tried to do online check-in (a link magically appears at the 60 day mark ) I got as far as entering a cc. It kept telling me that my cc could not be verified and to make sure my info was correct. I double checked it a billion times and I can't find an errors, so I'm chalking it up to a site glitch.

The app keeps telling me that my pw is wrong. I've used the same one for a while, so don't think that is it. I'm just super pumped and want to play!!

Now to sideline... my iphone decided to go swimming in the potty. Apparently, it likes to dive out of pockets... wish me luck as I try every trick the internet will provide, so I will have my phone when we go to the world! With all the new techie stuff in the parks, I will be super bummed if I have to carry around an old flippy. (I do have an ipad mini - so all is not completely lost )

I can't wait to hear about your experiences...

yeah for cake!! This will hopefully make up for the cardboard catastrophe I ordered for you a year ago

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

Okay, I think I fell three days behind...

Day 83: I want a rice krispie treat that is the size of my head (Sunshine Seasons, anyone?)

Day 82: I want to ride BTMR.

Day 81: I want to take lots of pictures!

That's what I'm worried about. Since we will go through the DVC site, I'm hoping we won't have too many issues with MDE.

My phone going for a swim is my biggest fear! I dropped my phone out of my back pocket while climbing into Barnstormer in 2010. I'm petrified I'll drop it in the john.

Did you get it dried out?

As I told you before, I have nothing to compare it to, so I can only go on your word.

AND, I don't give two hoots what it tasted like. I looked freaking AWESOME!

Nope... It's still living (dying?) in rice. So sad... Trying to make it to aug for my upgrade, but not sure I'll make it! Here's to hoping the world wifi is good!

That's what I'm worried about. Since we will go through the DVC site, I'm hoping we won't have too many issues with MDE.

Ok, thought that was what I did, but then I second guessed myself, and for good reason! I went to the DVC site, clicked on the "check-in online" link, and it sends you to the WDW homepage. Where I'm assuming they want me to go to MDE??

I called MS and they told me to go to mydisneyreservation.com as a work around. I was told this has been working 50% of the time. It didn't work for me. It just routed me to a page to book a reservation.

The CM I spoke to said that online registration only saves about 7 min at check-in. Well, I've wasted more time than that! I also asked about any downside to not being able to check-in online, like FP+. She said they know nothing... that in fact, implementations are all being pushed back. Guess we'll see.

My plan is to keep checking the site, as we all know things change daily (by the hour, by the minute...)

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

I figured the implementation was being pushed back since the Feds stuck their noses in.

Heck, the bracelets were supposed to roll out in February and it is now into March with ZERO sightings...
