This post should tie us at #15.

 

[JLDSMD]

Now it is time to get some sleep. The alarm clock will go off early tomorrow.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Karen you MUST book Le Cellier as soon as the date becomes available ! or you just wont get in!

Believe me, its thats popular! I could have sold my ADR res out side the actual resturant to a couople who were begging anyone to sell them a table for 3.

Probably a really stupid question but what date can I book from? How do you know when they are available?

We fly on the 13th.

 

[Karen Mouse]

I see now...Karen has been pushing me to finish that TR so that I post less here and that way she can overtake me.

Diabolical plan!

No - honestly - I had no plan - just enjoying your trippie

Beautiful job Heather!! Did you win 1st place with that?

DIStag gifts from Alaska...just so it's not any snow. We've had enough of that around here.

No I got 2nd. The one that won 1st also got Best in Show. It was very beautiful. A worthy winner. You sure about the snow???

Before you go posting it on ebay, let me see it first. Kristin has a Coach purse addiction. Me? Walmart purses are just fine. Sadly, my children can afford nicer things that I can.

Excuse my ignorance...whats a coach purse???

Heather,

You need to add the img tags

to your link to have it show up in the post.

But most importantly, you need to right click on your photo, go to properties,
and then copy the URL address...

which for your photo is

wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/124143P1010600.JPG

(I took off the http://www part so that you can see the address!



So it would look like this:

Looks wonderful by the way!! Reminds me a little of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!! (In a good way, the colours are orange and purple!)

Thanks Cass. I did originally add in the

bit, but forgot to take out the www bit. Try to remember for next time.

Thinking ahead...are there any other scrapping fans apart from Cass and myself that would be interested in a scrap bag swap???? Did it on the 11 day cruise and there is one planned for the Panama trip. Didn't know if anyone would interested in doing this on ours. Just need to bring a bag of scrap goodies to the value of $??? and then we put our names in a hat and when your name get picked out you select a bag at random. Could do this at the meet.

I am now totally freaking out - should I have phoned Le Cellier by now?

How do I call cheaply from the UK Lindy? Did you use any wierd code to make it cheaper?

You're all asleep right now right? So do I call this evening which is your daytime? 5 hours behind I think so 9am would be 2pm here?

I'll be out til about 4.30pm so others will be beating me again





ok, totally different topic - do any of you visit the Disney Institute while you're there? - or is it even still open? I have been having a sort out of old videos and just watched one that mentioned the disney institute.

Also the world of sports (or something like that) - the stadium thingy - is there ever anything going on there? What are the seasons for games etc?

Is there likely to be a game we could watch in October?





Every time I come on here and people talk about adrs I start t o panic - I sooooo need to get my act together.





Paige - did you see that thread on your playa mia post? - it sounds dreadful




ok, I'm off to sort out my itinary - yeah right

I know the dates we fly in and out and cruise - everything inbetween is a blur

Where do you find the busy days for parks and park hours again? - anyone got a link?

Then theres the wishes cruise thingy to sort - should I have rung for that by now?

My day 75 is 6 Aug so I thought I had loads of time to twiddle my thumbs and procrastinate

I need HELP.

How do you all do it? Where do you start? which parks are busy on what days I guess then avoid those. Then you hav to take into consideration which have emh and avoid those too. - ooooh my heads hurting already...I have cheesecake for breakfast this morning - perhaps that will make me feel better - its toffee swirl flavour and theres 3 slices left with pouring cream on top. 2 slices for brekkie and 1 for lunch,....tomorrow I diet - honestly

Maybe, once Ellis is in bed I should sit down and decide a few things. I just have so much else whizzing in my head that there doesnt seem room for much more - go on Jeff and Chris - I'm sure that deserves a comment or 2

Mind you, by then I'll have a bottle of chardonnay whizzing round in my head so I could decide on anything

Why is it you lady's think a bottle of chardonnay is a remedy for the dizziness and not the course?....

Hey - hiya Brenda - its lovely - white leather - totally impractical but looooovely!

3 minutes!

AND WHEN HAS THIS "EVER" STOPPED A WOMAN?

good luck on your Adrs guys. I'm envious. I'd love to add some WDW days on our vacation. Alas, I cannot take my son out of school that long.

Nice to have our creator back amongst his followers.....

ps...Great wedding,sorry i can't post pics,checkout the gaff (place) where it was held....and you could send my mate (the grooms dad) a $5 as he's now footed the bill to the tune of $100,000 in the last 12 months as his other daughter married up in the lakes last year

PPS...I also took this weekend as an opportunity to discuss with two of my girls how nice it would be to have a very old fashion wedding were you just invite the grooms mum and dad and then go back to the local pubs back room for a pint and a few sandwiches

Will Jason ever get Brenda out of here?......

Harry Potter's US theme park

April 16, 2007


COMMENT ON THIS STORY

HARRY Potter fans will soon get to experience the magic of Hogwarts — at a THEME PARK.

Universal Studios is close to finalising a deal to build Harry Potter World at its amusement park in Orlando, Florida.

It will include rollercoasters and rides based on the plots of JK Rowling’s novels.

Universal are confident of success as the Harry books have so far sold 325 million copies worldwide, while the four films have earned £2billion.

They also plan a Simpsons ride at the park, America’s third largest.

ok, 2 hours in - I have found the park hours and got the emh and lmh for Magic kingdom. Now i just ned to add the mnsshp dates and I have one parek sorted

If i stay at it I might get epcot done before I go out

Ellis has been placed infront of tv and been told to only speak to me in dire emergency - bad mother alert

 

[Karen Mouse]

I'm on a roll! - all 4 parks printed off with emh and lmh hours marked and I've highighted the days we could go

Now I just need 4 pairs of eyes to look at them all and pick which park which day

Then I need to suss out mnsshp, restaurants, wishes thingy, park passes etc

then I'll start on the cruise stuff another day

I have another 30 minutes and Ellis is still being quiet!

 

[Karen Mouse]

What happens if the MNSSHP is sheduled on a emh or lmh day?15/18 and 29 Oct all have emh or lmh and a MNSSHP?

Any ideas?

I scrap, therefor I am. I have yet to ever finish an album except for my mom's Mother's Day album though. I'm married but no reception, Hayden is still in the hospital being born, and Gwynne is a year old in my scrapbooking world. A swap sounds like fun!

:

Eons ago after I completed my Disney College of Knowledge course, I got to go to Disney on a travel agent trip. One of the things we did was the Disney Institute. I got to do the DJ class and some sort of cooking class. I'm thinking though that the Disney Institute is closed, or closed to the general public, or they changed the way it runs, or something like that. So probably think of it as one less thing to try to cram into your vacation!

Thanks Abby - like you say - one less thing to think about.

Blizzard beach is closing 28 Oct onwards for refurb so make sure you visit before the cruise if you intended going

Gosh - I'm getting good at this research!

 

[Lindy Loo]

KAREn you can book NOW at NOON today,for your ADRS if you are staying on site....

Get dialing girl....... 001 407 9393463, it cost me £4.63 last year to book 6 ADRS.
When you call listen to the thing and press the right number is 1 or 2 or what ever, it will ask for your phone number, just DONT DO ANYTHING... it will then say... oh I did quite catch that.... DONT do anything again and it will flip on...... When you get through say you are ringing from the UK and they dont "waffle" about cust service surveys etc. You will need C Card for CRT or Princess meals in Epcot ( Guess you wont be doing those! )
other than that say a time and write down the ref number they give you. Beleive me book as many as you THINK you want, you can always cancel, but cant always get a booking.

Le Cellier needs to be done as soon as you can book other than CRT timon was right its the hardest ADR to get!

Good luck...Linda.

Chris is this so it saves you lots of ££££££?

Where do you find the busy days for parks and park hours again? - anyone got a link?

Karen you have to pay Tour Guide Mike for the info now, it use to be a free link, but sadly no ore. Most people advise missing LATE magic hours, and fgo the the park that previously had an EMH. We are planning to do some early hours ( if we get up )
If on site rememeber Early hours for the water parks EVERY day!
Thats a great help to get oj the big slides etc, before the crowrd, and you can get a comfy sun lounger, while the boys dash off !


Steve nice to here from you mate !

 

[Lindy Loo]

Im feeling very good today, ive been swimming for over an hour, done my shopping ( all organic helathy food,) and now Im im going to walk Jazz ( my dog) around the park !

Mind you it is only day 4 of my diet

Karen Heather and Chris ( for Hazel )



ALL UK Cruisers who LOVE bags !




if you want a much sought after bag from Anya Hindmarch, then get to your SAINSBURYS store for openig on wed 25th April, each store will be limited to just 30!

There will be massive queues for one, and its limited to one per person, but im sure it will be worth it... the prices they are going for on E Bay is crazy!

 

[A fat english gent]

Do you know we often ask our self's having read these Boards "HAVE WE EVER BEEN TO THE STATES BEFORE".....we never knew what such a big deal thing the eating in the parks was we just took it anyone lived on them chicken strips......The only place we eat anything remotely posh was at that restaurant shaped like a pineapple at down town disney and Mr finicky left the place and went straight for some "chicken strips".....
