I'm NOT sure if this is the reasoning. The passport book I made had both Mickey & Minnie on it, and it actually said Walt Disney World and I didn't have any problems with them printing it.

My others did too! I dont know then Im lost!

 

[mommyof3princess27]

So I am a pre Thanksgiving girl, but I am not going anywhere. I love you guys. You are like my crazy Disney Family. So if it is ok I am staying put. Hoepfully you guys will let me stay.

you know you can stay

I think most places are like that. We went to Le Cellier and weren't impressed. Zebra domes...not for me. Go figure.

Yeah, me too, I was so excited to try zebra domes, blech....

 

[mommyof3princess27]

Im lost! I really feel like giving up the HDDR! We are at 24 credits and only have 21 so its oop for a few meals, drop them or give up HDDR... what to do!

If you are flying, when are you planning on purchasing flights??? I'm so torn on flight prices and I'm thinking we'll end up driving (10 hours with 1-2 stops included). Both times from our local airport (45 minutes away) to MCO we've gotten roundtrip for $135 and $150. Right now, our flights have held since they came out at cheapest $297/pp roundtrip... If we drive 2.5hrs away, we can fly for $195/pp roundtrip... I'm wondering if prices will drop or not... We fly out November 26 and back December 5.

I haven't booked our flights yet but I keep checking every day several times a day. You never know when a few seats free up and a lower class of service becomes available.
I'm really hoping SW has some sort of 4th of July sale. But if not, I will probably book by end of July.

I'm NOT sure if this is the reasoning. The passport book I made had both Mickey & Minnie on it, and it actually said Walt Disney World and I didn't have any problems with them printing it.

I think it just depends on who is checking the photobook orders. Some get lucky and their books are printed and others get cancelled. When I called to inquire, she pulled up my order and indicated the page numbers I had characters on.
What really upset me though is that she said that they might not be able to reverse the charge on my card but I might have to provide a paypal account for the refund which means I have to pay the fees.

I did not care for the zebra domes either. I threw more away than I ate. We even made a special trip to AKL for them. Oh well cross them of the list of things I tried.

We just bought out last week at $297 for 3 of them, then 1 on miles. I usually wait until 2 months before cause the price goes down, but since we're flying tgiving weekend I was worried it would spike and stay there. no way to really tell I guess... Good luck to all for cheap flights,

sooo I keep changing my adr's.. I added O'hana! Is this place as good as everyone says?? I made it for Sun Nov 25th at 8:45. This is our Animal Kingdom day. Will this be a good time to catch Wishes from there or maybe from the beach after dinner??

By the way I LOVE this thread!! Everyone is so nice!

We didn't try 'Ohana til our last trip, but we're hooked! We'll never miss it now!

It made sense and thank you!!! I'm glad you all want me to stay because I'm not budging!!

I'm glad you're not going anywhere. I guess I technically "belong" on the other thread, since we're arriving 11/15, but I'm not going anywhere either!

I'm joining in on the fun even though i'm early Nov! Split stay for me 7th-11th POR and 11th - 14th WL

Welcome!

Yes I think they do.... I am probably the ONLY person that doesnt like Dole whips or the frozen drinks in Mexico in Epcot LOL

I always get a Dole Whip, eat 3 or so bites then toss it...way too sweet for me to eat more than that!
I like most of the drinks in Epcot

Did you try a Dole Whip float? I like a good Dole Whip just fine, but those floats are totally amazing!

They are good, but they have nothing up on good regular vanilla ice cream floating in the pineapple juice leftover from pineapple rings... I swear it tastes better!

Ah! I love Dole Whip! BUT, I do far prefer the float. YUMMY! I wish I could have one right now! don't know HOW the vanilla/juice cold be even better, but I may have to give it a try....

So I am a pre Thanksgiving girl, but I am not going anywhere. I love you guys. You are like my crazy Disney Family. So if it is ok I am staying put. Hoepfully you guys will let me stay.

Please do stay! I love how every time I log in, there's something new to read. "All Disney, all the time!"

Yes, this!

We bought our departure flights w/ SW at $99, still waiting on the return flights to come down some.

I'm another that does not like the Zebra Domes AT ALL. Really enjoyed Boma, though.

We're staying at AKL for the first time this trip, and I've been SOOOOO excited about trying zebra domes. What didn't you like about them? Was it a flavor thing or a texture thing? Just curious.

To me they were really dry and kinda had a yucky flavor. I love chocolate, but these did not taste like chocolate. Kinda like flour. Might have just been me. You never know until you try.

Kind of both - they seem to be trying to be a cross between a Bon Bon and tiramisu - had a spiked coffee taste, but I thought it would be creamier. I've seen lots of posts where people love them....

 

[DsnyMama]

We fly after T-giving, so I am hoping for a price drop... SW is holding at $96 one way and $99 the other - that's giving us the $195 total per person + free bags which is nice.. I just am spoiled by our past $130-$150 pp roundtrip non-stop on Airtran and US Air (both of which are $297 right now!!!).

I didn't like them either. They are one of those things that I just could not wait to try. I was all hyped up for them. And was totally disappointed in what I was tasting.

Have you done the HDDR before? If you have, does your family love it? If you haven't have you had your family watch a youtube video of it?

I had my DD3.5, who is my toughest critic watch a video of it and she vetoed it after about 1 minute in. She said, "No. I won't eat if I have all that noise. I just won't eat." Okay, off the list it went.

That is so cute!!

I don't know why but this is one show that we are just not interested in at all. I've even tried to want to go. I have seen some really good reviews on it. Just not us.

Already got our flights! My mom always looks the first day they come out to get some cheap ones.

I'm sorry if you already mentioned this but were any of your books cancelled?

I'm trying to redo my books now on a different site. Has anyone tried mixbook? They're a little more expensive than artscow but I had already told my kids I was making these books. We didn't do autographs last year and wasn't planning to do it this year either until I saw the books you made and I just had to make something like that for the kids.

We got $120/pp for each way on Air Tran. Cheepest we have seen!
