Evening folks!!! I can't think of much on topic, except I spent an hour this evening looking thru the theme park brochures Joanne sent me. THANK YOU!!!!!

Is the One Man's Magic (or whatever) in MGM in the same building as it was when it first opened? I remembered it in a slightly different location. Also - I thought that was short term to begin with - is it now permanent or semi-permanent?

Good Morning !!!
Day 2 of evaluating NYS English Language Arts Exams today!
Oh - I am longing for my WDW trip and my first DOLPHIN exercursion!!
Dreamflight, (hate to be a bug ) but would you mind sending me a pm with balcony room recommendations? Thanks so much!
Well I am off - Have a happy Thursday!

jgates~ I think the making of the Haunted Mansion movie is now where the One Man's Dream used to be. I didn't get to either one of them as it was so crowded on the day we went and we only did the big attractions.

Glad you got the brochures so quickly!!

Mom Poppins - I hope you have a great trip. We will be at the swan in april. I do have 2 questions that I have posted elsewhere that no one seemed to have an answer for, maybe you could help

1. Can the conceirge make ps dining reservations for you for the disney parks etc, or are they only for dolphin/swan restraunts and is this service only for club level guests?

2. Want to get our ds some disney dollars for the parks, so what amount can we get and can we charge that to our credit card?

Thanks so much, Your help is appreciated. We used to live in Desoto, Tx. My ds miss colters etc. We always go to the Ballpark in Arlington each year to watch the Rangers play the Yankees and other teams if we get a chance.

Hope you have a great trip, looking forward to your trip report.

Bambi~ catholic school principal here!!!

Yes, the concierge will make PS for Disney restaurants and yes you can charge Disney dollars on your cc. While I was there last summer (I wasn't staying on CL), I had to make some adjustments in my PS so I stopped by the concierge desk in the Swan lobby and she handled everything for me quite efficiently. I didn't waste any of my time on the phone accomplishing this.

Dismom63~I sent you a PM with the requested info~!

luvmarypoppins~As mouseteacher posted, Concierge is extremely efficient at the Swan/Dolphin! You are free to stop by the counter near the front desk for their assistance with anything. It is not only for CL guests.

You can get any amount you wish, and yes~you can charge Disney Dollars to your CC.

YANKEES!!! Did you mention the YANKEES!??!

MOM POPPINS~My thoughts are with you all! You must be SO excited. I can just imagine the girls, (must be on the edge of their seats!). Have a safe and memorable trip, and a wonderful time in the MAGIC.

As for the little brother or sister...hmmm. Planning is usually NOT how these souveniers are obtained! The Good Lord has a hand in these special mementos!!! (LOL). So, you NEVER know (and NEVER say....NEVER!!).

jgates~It's a GREAT attraction...one not to be missed! It's behind the GREAT MOVIE RIDE, near millionaire. You will LOVE it. I actually "cry" every time I see the movie at the end of the little tour, etc. I'm a sap for these sentimental things, and LOVE Walt Disney (God Bless you, Walt).

***I'm still on a HIGH, since making the rental car reservations! What a RELIEF...and comfort. Planning a vacation is like painting a beautiful life-like family mural. You begin with a blank/empty canvas...and slowly fill-in the picture, with vivid intense colors and dreamscapes of visions. As it takes shape...you can literally "see" the trip beginning before your very eyes. Each stage represents another brushstroke. Staring at the canvas...you can nearly "feel" the emotions you will experience. The painting is not complete until you have lived-out the fantasy. Then, and only then...does the picture come to life, with laughter and times shared together (forever etched in the fiber of the medium). We are all appreciative of the fine art of LIFE and the enrichment of TRAVEL.

Enjoy the day!!

Thanks, Tink! ~Glad you enjoyed it. Just a few "words" for thought.

Dismom63~Hooray! You received the pm from moi. Thank you, for letting me know. Feel free to pm me if you need anything else (w/respect to planning, etc.). Be CAREFUL/SAFE as you run around w/the kiddos!

Hello to my S/D friends and to MP - have a great time!

DF~ this week is better by just a smidge. Hopefully, that is a sign of an upward trend.

HughJackman...(kimmar) ~ waving hello to a fellow teacher! There are quite a few of our ilk here in the S/D world.
