I did his touring plan last year, or at least I tried to. I found it hard to follow and just gave up. Glad it worked for you. What do you like about it?

We tried to use the touring plans in the park the best we could but we were using a double jogging stroller and the plans went out the window after that first rope drop. We were not going to get anyway at a high rate of speed. We love all his advice on how to structure the vacation as a whole, what parks to be in on which days, recommendations on certain things. I actually joined TGM the minute I knew the dates for our next trip but things don't seem to be the same as before. Several people from the boards are on a new website that has most of the info and it is free.

I was just doing some research on the CP dinner package. It appears to me that the price out of pocket for the package is not much more than out of pocket to eat at the restaurant ($5-$6). So to me it isn't worth 2 TS credits. Anyone else find that or am I missing something?. Another questions is if not all in the party want to see CP can we only get the package for some but all eat together? I really want to take my mom and dad to this but I am not sure my girls (9 & 5) would be interested. DH probably wouldn't be thrilled with it and would welcome the chance to take girls on rides!

I can totally understand them about if a whole party just doesn't show up, but for a missing person, that's just nuts! What if someone gets sick or something, and needs to stay behind at the resort? I just don't see the reasoning there.

The only reason I can see charging if the whole party doesn't show up, is if (and only if) it makes a difference in the table size. For example, you make the ADR for 5, but only 4 show up. Even then people do get sick on vacation. Do they want people showing up to the ADR throwing up just so they don't get charged?

So glad your BP calmed down. DRATS about the blood sugar, though. and prayers for you.

Thanks!! I was reading the side effect of my meds last night and one of them can raise blood sugar level. It doesn't explain it being 130 on the day of my apt though.

Anyone ever read a book called Mousejunkies? I'm reading it now and I LOVE it! I love reading anything about Disney World or Walt Disney, though.

I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that it's a really good book.

They also said that guest relations (or some dept like that) will be able to make exceptions. I seriously doubt if someone in your party were sick and unable to make it to the ADR that they would refund the $10 charge.

Soooo jealous of your upcoming trip!!

Any luck on deciding how to surprise your kids with next years trip?

We have decided to do a scavenger hunt. DD and DS will each have clues that are age appropriate for them. They will have to solve each riddle to find the puzzles pieces that will be hidden around the house. Once they have all the pieces of the puzzle, we will let them put it together. The puzzle with be a Disney picture that says, "We are doing to Disney... tomorrow!!" I can't wait. I've already designed the puzzle. Now I have to come up with some riddles. DH is good at that so I'll probably leave that up to him.

This question is for any of you who have been to WDW in Nov, before....what is the tempurature usually like? We learned a LONG time ago, to pack for any weather during a trip (learned that the hard way, when we packed no shorts for a trip, and it was HOT the whole time! We had to buy some shorts as our first "souvenior". So, we'll probably bring shorts, pants, capris etc. But what is the norm? Will we be able to swim? Will we need a coat (spring/ fall/ winter) for MVMCP? What about a hat, mittens, sweater, sweatshirt? I saw photos from a friend, who was there last Dec and she had on all the above....but I also remember it being unreasonably cold...so I'm not sure if that's the norm or not. With MVMCP being so late at night, will it be extra cold regardless?

I have a LONG time to go before I need to even think of packing...but it's kinda fun buying a new shirt for the girls, and thinking, "ooh, this would be cute at Disney next year!"

We have a saying in the deep south... If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes... it will change. You have no idea how true this is. 48 hours ago it was almost 90* here, and we are expecting to be in the 30's tonight. What cha' gonna do?

When we went to Disney last year, it was in the 80's the first 3 days, and down in the 30's at last few nights. I wasn't prepared. Luckily we had blankets in the van so we threw those in the stroller and the kids were able to bundle up. Since we drive I can pack for all seasons. I will be bringing coats, gloves, ear muffs, light jackets, and clothes that we can layer next year. You also have to take into account that being from the south, we are wimps when it comes to the cold. 100+ temps in the summer... no problem. 30* in the winter and I don't want to leave my house.

Would you mind sharing (or PMing) me those sites? I've paid for the TGM subscription too, but I'm not too happy with it, and am considering cancelling it.

I haven't done the research yet, but I was wondering the same thing.

I just got a Jillian Michaels dvd called the 30 day shred. I it. Its challanging yet its stuff you know how to do! Iv been looking for a dvd like this! Apparently you can lose up to 20 pounds and some odd inches lol but the reviews are great and I did the first workout. My legs are feeling it but its a good hurt not the 'OMGosh I cant climb stairs or move ' hurt lol So we will see if it takes off some pounds!

I need to get back to my Disney planning grrr. Actually, as far as my surprise for the kids, a person on the families board had this idea that I think I am gonna do something similar.

I may have to check that out. Since I've been feeling kind of dizzy, the most I've been doing is house work. Which with as many people living here right now as there are, there is a lot to do.

That video is too cute!!

Has the DIS been running funky for anyone else since they took it off line for a bit the other day? I have a short cut to my thread subcriptions and when I click on the last page of a thread, it goes to the 17th. Plus it doesn't update, like it used to, when someone posts on a thread. It's just strange.

 

[mommyof3princess27]

Alright guys, have a good night. Tomorrow is another day and another dollar for DISNEY!!!
