.......ok - multiple part ?.


1) I know that I can go on WDW.com and under dining to req a character dining or what not - so I am ok with that.

2) at the 90 day ish" mark, I can on on DCL.com & req shore excurstions - so I am ok with that.

3) but its that darn MNSSHP issue - how & where do I also go on line to purchase (hopefully) Oct 29th ticket??
3a) what are the steps??
what .com site??


Your kind guidance wud be greatly appreciated as I will owe you a margarita.


ok.....that now makes Nenner1 & now you I owe a margarita 2.

Gotta love it -



About that "adventure" I was on -

Overall? not a very good vacation for me as I am looking to rebound on this vacation but rest assured, I will be in my usual bouncy outgoing self by the time Oct rolls around.


Why not good? Bad customer service at DGC and no follow through by one of the ABD reps.

1) I do say though that the Mickey Fun Wheel rocked! Get as many people in that gondola and get that thing a rockin! I loved that ride.

2) DL? From an historical standpoint of view - I loved the layout and such. The rides were great. And the Dream Suite?? OM GOSH!!!!!!


3) ...and nothing will replace the feeling of asking Mary Poppins if I was being a wee bit too cheeky with her as she LEANS INTO me (as she is holding my arm for pics) and says,

" Yes - you are."

Ok.....I blushed.



Inneracting with Mary & Bert was just priceless as a few days after I got back from home in Texas, I received autograph pics from Julie Andrews & Dick Van **** ( I wrote a fan letter 2 both of them 6 weeks b 4 this adventure).



Anywho -

I am already working on burning a cd of Halloween music and already have a pretty good mixture of songs on it; from "Rocky Horror" to the Monster Mash song to assorted Radio DISney Halloween music so what the hey....


Lookin forward to this vacation.

Once MNSSHP tickets go on sale there should be a link to click on the web site to purchase. We have done it this way for the past few years and it was very user friendly. I believe it is listed under special events on the disneyworld.com website. If I see anything come up I will be sure to post it here.

Sorry to hear your trip was not all you had hoped for. Sometimes that happens and it is unfortunate. Even Disney sometimes has rotten apples for employees.

 

[knewton64]

now I know what 2 do about MNSSP! Thanks!

I tell ya, I've got so So many "apples" up in the air these days as I am also working concurrently on a trip to Ireland.
Denise (fellow ABD adventurer on last weeks vacation) has challenged me to a game of darts w/the loser buying the winner 2 pints of Guiness. So, she is going to show me around Dublin (she's from there) & what not. Looking forward to it as this vacation is slated for May 2011.
Besides - I'm 1/2 Irish.


All right - been real -


Gotta hop off for now but again - a huge thank you for pointing me in the right direction on what 2 do about MNSSHP tics.

CYA!

Yep, that is how we bought our MVMCP tickets. IIRC (a couple of years ago, now) I printed them right off the computer. Easy peasy.

DHS was great yesterday- not very crowded at all. TSMM waits weren't even that bad. The main board said 50 mins but at the ride it only said 30 for standby at 11 AM (and I doubt it was that since the line only extended just past Mr. Potato Head)..RNRC was at 30 pretty much all day and ToT was mostly at 13 minutes (lol no wait) We did RNRC 6 times and ToT 4 times!

Can you believe in all the times we have visited WDW we have never been on ToT? Our kids were either too little or too scared and neither DH nor I wanted to go on alone without the other!

My DD I think is a lost cause...she will never be a roller coaster, scary ride liking kid. I am hoping DS is going to grow up to be my thrill ride buddy!

Hi, We're thinking about going ahead and purchasing for 2011 (New Year on the Dream) because the price and the room location look good. But what happens if we get on the ship this October and find that we could have gotten a better rate on board for the future cruise? Will they let us transfer that reservation to get the lower price or are we stuck with the higher price? What would you do? Help!!!

You can check the prices while on-board and compare what you got today versus the rate in October. Another consideration is the on-board credit. If the October rate and OBC work out to your advantage you can cancel and transfer your deposit to the new booking. Its done all the time.

Aren't we at the 199 day mark today?

So I have a question for those of you that have taken a two week vacation. Is it there a downside to one? I ask cause it looks like we can do this. Our current plan, providing $$ are available by then is leaving STL on Sunday prior to the cruise and then coming back after the cruise. So 14 days. Thoughts?

On 08/14/08 we flew to CA and stayed at DL for 3 days, cruised on the 15 day return repo on the Magic, and just for fun to say we went to DL, DCL, and WDW in the same vacation we stayed at AK for one day before flying back on 09/02. All in all, a 19 day vacation that still wasn't long enough. I can't think of a downside outside of it being over. I say, do it if you can!

We also, last fall did a full two weeks vacation for our combined land and sea trip. Though we drove down, and it's a 24 hour drive, so there's 4 days already with just travelling to and from. For this Falls Magic Cruise, It will be another almost 2 week vacation as we again are driving down. Trying to decide though WHEN we want to leave. I think I'd like to just relax in Cape Canaveral on the Friday, maybe visit Cocoa Beach, but otherwise, just take it easy. We have one day park tickets, so if we want to take it easy on the Friday, it means visiting WDW on the Thursday. So if we want to be there on the Thursday, I'd like to be there at rope drop to make the most of the one DAY in WDW, and that would mean leaving home on the Tuesday before at the latest. OR perhaps we'll leave at midday on the Monday, Stop at my Aunts in NJ for the night then travle the rest of the way over the Tues. and Wed. The only down side I can think of to a two week vacation, is it will cost more $$ for food and lodging, as well as the kids miss more school, and thus may have a lot of catching up to do,,,,,,,,, BUT on the flip side, it IS a DISNEY vacation, and therefore worth it in my book. The teachers last year gave the kids work to do travelling down and back, so they were'nt that far behind. We'll ask them to do the same this time.

I hate making those kinds of decisions, I wish DH would just step up and say "Ok, we are leaving on ............"
I'd like my kids to go to school at least a few days that week, but it's not looking likely.
