OFFICIAL April 2012 DISers! 2 months and counting!

[Kathymford]

Who else here uses TP? I have been getting massive crowd updates all week. One day crowds go down, the next day up, then the next day back down. It's craziness. I haven't had a chance to see if EasyWDW has updated theirs yet.

My DH uses TP I'm going to have him check. I really thought the week we were going wasn't going to be that bad b/c it was the week after Easter wk., but the park hours have changed to later closings so that makes me nervous. I'm sure we'll be fine though RD everyday or close to it and back at night.

We have gone in April several times now. One year we went the first week of June and it was worse than April!!! Never again.

I been wondering the same thing about Touring Plans. We're going the last week of April and was thrown a loop when Disney switched the EMHs for Epcot and HS on April 27 & 28th. Touring Plans has updated their site to reflect the switch to evening EMH at Epcot on the 28th but the crowd numbers are still saying 3.3 and Best Park. I can't quite see that as both EasyWDW and TourGuideMike now have Epcot listed as a park to avoid that day. I can only assume it's a glitch with the Touring Plans site?

That's so sad I know exactly how you feel. I hope everything works out and your puppy isn't suffering.

So sorry. I hope your puppy will find peace. My heart breaks for you.

I am so sorry to hear your dog is doing poorly again. I hope that she finds peace soon.

So sorry to hear about your dog. I hope that she doesn't suffer too long.

pwdebbie, I am so sorry that your dog is not doing well.

I should clarify -- she is not sick or in pain. Just old. Sleeps longer and more deeply than before and she's going blind and deaf. Now back in 2010, just before our last trip, we thought she was dying because she was extremely sick with pancreatitis but she came through. We took our trip anyway and our dd (she lives next door) cared for her. But since then dd has taken a job and had another child and can't spend time with her like she could before. Lady would be alone all day for thirteen days and not getting her potty breaks every three hours or so. She is actually healthier now than she had been for several years due to losing 1/3 of her weight and getting regular walks. She's just old and tired. She is dh's baby and I don't want to force him away from her, especially when she is in what I think must be her last days or months. There's always next year.

I'm not sure about the aero bed, sorry! Where are you staying? Could you look and/or ask in that resort thread?

This thread has been busy since I last logged on ~ I love it! We are all getting so close...can't believe some have less than 10 days!

I'm so sorry to the poster whose dog is not doing well.

And (loganpaulsmom?) ~ looks like our trips will overlap! I also have a 6 year old, she is looking forward to the volcano slide! Sorry that you are worried over your dining ressies that are closer to BC, but I'm sure it will all work out!

We were.. But I switched back.. I was so sad to not be in the BW area after all the planning I had done.. I feel good with my decision..

I didn't get any luggage name tags - just the yellow luggage magical express tags.

Probably because I didn't book through a Magic Your Way Package - I rented DVC points.

Congrats!

I got my red Mickey luggage tags separate from the yellow ME ones. They came over a week later in regular mail, so maybe you will still get some!

 

[angierae]

So, if you have to remove someone from your vacation package inside the 45 days, is it just the $50 change fee you're losing? DH might get a job offer in the next couple of days, and if it's good enough, and they want him for a 4/1 start date, there's no way he can turn it down.

His airfare we're going to have to eat, since it's non-refundable, but what will Disney do if I call them 5 or 6 days out and have to take DH off our trip?

(This will make me sad, but the job situation will be good in the long run.)

We also got ours today. My question is, however, how do you attach the tags to your suitcase? The red Mickey tags have the hole to slide something through too attach them, but what do you use?

Us too!!! I had a late and difficult theatre rehearsal tonight and was exhausted (woke up at 2:30 this morning and didn't get back to sleep) and soooo hungry (hadn't eaten since 10:45) and had a super long day listening to cranky kids complaining about classes, boyfriends/girlfriends, teachers, etc. etc. But when I came home and saw that envelope on the counter it ALL melted away!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! AND I love those tags!!! So flippin' excited!

 

[MnMomW3Boys]

We are staying at AKL ( AKV Jambo house) in a studio. We are flying and not renting a car either. I was asking about Aero beds because I thought they might be better quality and more comfortable and end up lasting us longer to be able to take with us to the Cape over the summer too????? I see the cheaper ones at some stores but wasn't sure about them. Thanks!

Can you not ask for a roll away bed or a cot for the room? We have gotten them in the past at Beach Club, Wilderness and Kidani...not sure if that is an option for you.

Here's a youtube tutorial on how to attach Disney luggage tags. The first time I got these tags last year, I must have stared at them for a loooooong time before I figured it out. They really should come with instructions!

The strips come attached to the luggage tags as shown here.

Hope this helps!

 

[auprincess]

was anyone else excited to see that the luggage tags are different this year? At least they are for me! The past 3 sets we've gotten all had Cinderella castle on them ~ oh the little things!!

Thanks so much. I saw those little plastic strips, but just kept staring at them too. I will watch that video and see if I can figure it out.

Same here! Love the new design although I loved the older "classic" tags as well. I think we're going to mix and match and leave the older ones on some of our luggage - we never took them off after our Disney trip from last year.

 

[JeanetteK]

Okay, now I feel like a complete idiot! Those luggage tags couldn't be easier. They really should include instructions (like the guy in the video says)

Once you figure it out, it just seems so simple. The mental hurdle for me was figuring out that the strip splits in the middle.

that's the exact problem I was having. I kept trying to pinch them together (kind of like a ziplock baggie) DUH!

We'll be visiting WDW April 20-24th, staying at POR, following our eastern caribbean cruise! We are still waiting on our Mickey mail!!
