We had that bad storm last night near Baltimore. It was horrible!

But was it a bug storm?

 

[aroundtheriverbend]

So I just realized that there is an app for dis boards for my iPhone. Where have I been.

i think they just released it, i just saw it for the first time too....

So I just realized that there is an app for dis boards for my iPhone. Where have I been.

I dare not even go there!!!!

But was it a bug storm?

As long as the bugs are carrying large buckets of water, let them come!! We need rain!!! It shouldn't hurt your feet to walk on your grass, KWIM?

UPDATE ON THE ARTSCOW SITUATION: I emailed them the photpass cd release...they accepted it and will process my order! YAY! If anyone has gotten their stuff cancelled, try that! I am glad it did work. I am not sure why the other ones got processed and some didnt.

I'm so glad it worked out for you.

I am still undecided



probably where I have been but I dont even have the iphone... i have on older phone

You'd all laugh if you saw MY old phone!

I just found the DIS app for my iPad last night !

Uh-oh! I probably should NOT look into that!

There are multiple disney apps for the IPhone. I have several of them. They are great and have helped me tremendously in my planning. They give the park hours, wait times, parade times, early morning hours EMH, and so much other stuff. I love them Still no times avail at Le Cellier for 11/14- but I am trying to remain hopeful. Does anyone have any other suggestions?? Hope everyone has a great Saturday and happy planning.

Don't give up on Le Cellier. When we went for Thanksgiving week 2010, we didn't even decide to go until early October and I was able to snag Le Cellier for lunch on Thanksgiving day. I kept checking multiple times a day. Almost drove me batty, but it worked!

I'm trying to snag an ADR for Ohana's that isn't really late. I guess we will both have to keep trying. Do you have a backup ADR just in case LeCellier doesn't happen? Thats what I have done.

See above! what's your backup?

does anyone know where i can get disney iron ons? id like to make dd a few shirts to wear but im not very good at it.

I know the feeling!

What makes ya'll step away from the ADRs and stop second guessing yourself? When does your touring plan feel right?

After I drive myself NUTS! Actually, it all feels really good now except for hoping for BOG and having Tuesday's dinner to close to Dessert Party......

I just want to know if it was big bugs that stomped or little bugs with drums.



It already is.

Same here. I found the app last night and stayed up way past my bedtime getting acquainted with navigating the boards via the app.

I've ALREADY been staying up way too late lately. The iPad app might KILL me!

Speaking of Disney apps check out Beers and Ears. You select a type of beer and it tells you all the locations in Disney that you can get it. I can't remember where I heard about it first so I'm not sure if it was mentioned here or not. It's free and it gave DH a good laugh.

Beers and Ears! Too funny!

We had that bad storm last night near Baltimore. It was horrible!

I HATE thunderstorms.

I'm not sure if it is the ADRs I'm not quite happy with. Or the way the days themselves are flowing.



Thunderstorms should only be allowed during the day. I really dislike night time storms.

Yes, during the day I can't SORT of stand them.

me too and its been like 100 here the past 2 days!. Can you post your whole schedule with the ADR's so we can take a look?

Yesterday it was 107 at my house and supposed to be even WARMER today!

But was it a bug storm?

OMGosh Im slow! It wasnt a bug storm I thought that was a typo and it was supposed to be BIG!!! Excuse me Im slow today

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I waw on TP that Test track is scheduled to open on Dec 1st hoping I get to ride it before we leave!

Still hoping to catch a soft opening here.

Oh man I hope some comes your way soon. It was a 105 on my back porch yesterday but we have had plenty of rain.

See above! what's your backup?

The day that I am hoping to snag an Ohana reservation is our AK day. And it closes at 5:00. So if I can't get Ohana, we will just eat at the Whispering Canyon. Then we would probably be in for the night.

I waw on TP that Test track is scheduled to open on Dec 1st hoping I get to ride it before we leave!

Oh no.....This is worse than the Nov 30th date. Oh I hope it opens earlier than that. We could still ride on the 1st but can you imagine the crowds?

Still hoping to catch a soft opening here.

Me Too!!

Just found the DIS iPhone App! AWESOMENESS


I *THINK* I'm finally settled on my park days/ADRs - I think..... Still reconsidering Boma breakfast (since we have dinner scheduled too and Tusker b-fast and I'm scared they are TOO similar...). Other than that I think I'm set. I'll be in the minority - I booted Le Cellier after I scored the coveted reservation! I've tried for 4 trips to get one and I finally did and changed my mind


We started our countdown chain today!! 150 links were put up yesterday and DD pulled the 1st one off this morning!! She's sooo excited we finally got it put up! (Ignore my killer-messy dining room... It's become Disney craft headquarters!).

That countdown chain makes it seem like our trips are right around the corner! I would have thought it would look longer than that.

It's such a fun idea, but I'd have to make three. My tribe would NOT be able to peacefully take turns or share one. So I'll wait a while yet!

Well, it would be great to find each other on one or more of those days.

I don't know what to tell you on deciding between WCC and Cape May. We really like them both for different reasons. We have had very good food and experiences at both. With the WCC you can take the boat over from the MK. We take the boat whenever possible. Even when we are at Epcot. We take the Monorail and end up back at the MK and catch the boat. Its just relaxing. Especially at night! Then you could spend some time at the WL exploring. The Christmas decorations are beautiful. Then you could boat back to the MK and catch your resort bus from there.

I COULD fit both in! If I give up HDDR which now that you put it THAT way I may just do both We could do WCC our first night(take the boat) and do Cape May on our last night and still be able to keep CM on our last day for breakfast! Thanks Smileybug!

Thanks for the update. I'm glad it worked out for you.

I already asked them to go ahead and refund me my money but they had to do it through paypal. I went ahead and created new books through shutterfly last night. I was able to use 100 mycokerewards for a free 8x8 hard cover book so I got 2 for the autograph books and I'm trying to decide what size to redo the passport books.
