New! Pg 26! May 2013 - The Nolonger Tickerless, disorganized PTR. FINALLY GOING HOME!

[t_daniels]

I'm insane.

Officially ditching KTTK, in favor of Victoria and Alberts.

And, should be booking everything the week of November 8!

Now...I have a schedule to rearrange.

 

[solana131]

I'm joining in for this train wreck! And I mean that in the nicest way possible....I promise You are cracking me up with all your changing plans! But hey, I've just started mine.....there is plenty of time for me to change things around quite a bit!

I was ALL SET.

Well...as set as could be without actually having it booked. You know?

Then, I stupidly...stupidly... looked onto V&A's .

My poor DH!

But yes . Welcome to the chaos! My TRs aren't this bad. Promise!

 

[t_daniels]

Now..this is version 2... I think.

For this PTR, anyway. More like version 3 or 4 for DH and I....


Going to just give the days letters... that way if we cant get a certain ADR on a day we want, we can switch it around. Plus, we haven't officially booked yet!

And, not really planning any lunches but 1 - it's easier to see where we are at, and if we're hungry.


BUT. Good news. Matt was going to book it all through SW.

Apparently, booking everything but the flights through Disney, will save him like, 500! So, that's a plus!!

Tried to get him on the DiS. It's not quite his thing. Sigh. He'll look when I send a barrage of threads his way... but that's about it.

Also, I started a separate dis thread for the Project Pixie Dust stuff, my PTR is cluttered enough as is.

The parks on each day are tentative. We have park hopper, so if the mood strikes, I'm sure we'll take off and go somewhere else.

I think you are doing fine... Change is the spice of life...

 

[t_daniels]

I think you are doing fine... Change is the spice of life...

Well, fantastic. You'll love this....

Now...I'm second guessing backstage magic. Have seen mixed reviews about it. Say you spend lots of time on the bus..some people felt rushed...others missed some floats. Group was too big, etc.

Tempted to do the unDISCOVERed Future world tour! It's admittedly smaller, and no utilidors...but it has soarin, spaceship earth, and an option to see illuminations. Those are all on our to do list.

And the VIP lounges? I'd love to see those!! Actually have been wishing for a way how since I found out they existed!!!

Plus, that'd free up $ for photopass +, and V&A.

Gotta think on this one.......

What?! The elusive DH actually is on the DiS?

Backstory:
Matt, DH, was looking at the boards one day...and sincerely thought that DH meant Darth Husband.

Cracked me up.

 

[DarthHusband]

YOU NAMED ME!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!



Well I have come here to creep and approve...or disapprove!!!!

 

[DarthHusband]

And you told my backstory!!!! You weren't supposed to do that for at least 30 years!!! YOU PROMISED!

 

[t_daniels]

....

I know this...
V reference?

 

[DarthHusband]

....

I know this...
V reference?

Seriously???? The Star Wars prequels...took around 30 years to come out to tell the story of the man that would become Darth Vader.

I do not approve Lou.

Ohhh. Fine . Thought it was how one of your comic writers wouldn't reveal V till after he died.

No more lip from you, or well spend all our time on teacups.

So ell me about the unDISCOVERed Future world tour! And VIP lounges

So ell me about the unDISCOVERed Future world tour! And VIP lounges

It's smaller...only a few hours.3 days a week. You tour innoventions, go into a few of the old lounges in Future World.. the one in the Living Seas attraction, I think.

You go on Soarin without a wait, and I guess the guide points out things.

You go backstage on Ellens energy attraction, Mission Space ,Test Track ..

After, I guess you're offered a discount on a meal, or a prime viewing spot of illuminations .


Here's a link to a great review: It's old though, I got a lot of info from the page that people post their reviews!

It's not as fancy...but I think wed have more fun out of it!

Hearing much more overall positive than the backstage magic tour...Lots of negative reviews for it. And I think DH and I will enjoy this one much more.

 

[teekathepony]

I hope you find a tour that you will enjoy, my parents did the big one with all four parks (can not remember the name!) and they really loved it, I can't decide if I want to go behind the scenes or not! Hahaha I don't want it to spoil the magic!

Backstage magic!

We want to do that one... But the mixed reviews , and finding the epcot one really made us second guess.

And, now V&A is easily in our budget!

Will probably do bsm next time, whenever that may be.......

How are you?

Oh is that the same one? Hm! I didn't know it had some bad reviews. I know my parents really loved it. I guess like anything it could be the luck of the draw if you get a good tour or a not so good one!

I'm doing well, thanks! How about you?

Yeah. I read a lot of people felt rushed. Or spent all their time on the bus. Someone's headset broke. Another group missed all the parade floats. Some got off tour guides.

Which, hit or miss seems normal. But when spending THAT much...you know?

Anyway. We love pretty much everything in the epcot tour. And it helps with v&a. Good starter tour.

We are good. Allergies are kicking our butts!
DH always has issues. I NEVER DO.


In other news, he FINALLY saw Snow White & Sleeping Beauty! Next up, Cinderella!
