wakica, pigletto - looks like we are all about the same time. Maybe we will bump into each other.

LOL - you should go make a ticker of your own. They are FUN

 

[auprincess]

LOL ~ I just look at Charity and Dave's ticker to know how much longer I have! I have made one...but don't know how to add it to my profile or whatever. Anyone want to point me in the right direction? Is there a thread that has all the how to's...like how to add a ticker, how to add an avatar, how to post pics, etc?

 

[auprincess]

Does anyone know if Tinkerbell and the fairies will be at Epcot during April? I thought I read they were there last year during the Flower and Garden Festival.

 

[wakica]

auprincess, there is a thread that explains all that - I just don't know where it is right now. I'll have a look when I have some time tomorrow.

I booked our rental car a couple of weeks ago and I go on about once a week and check rates. I went on last night and HOLY COW!!!! The rates have doubled So glad that I have already booked our rental car.

I don't think they will be. I might be wrong but if I'm remembering correctly they were at Epcot last year after Toontown closed and while their new home at MK was under construction.

81 days!
I did it ~ made a ticker and an avatar (I want to peronalize that photo, but have to dig out my jump drive). Thanks for the link!!

Awww.....we're so cute. SAMES!! I think you can just go on photobucket and add your name to any image. Super easy. That's how I did mine!

Are we ALL staying at the Poly too?!

 

[wakica]

LOL - love the ticker!! Great job

oh, that makes sense!!

picked up some shirts today for the girls to put Mickey heads on ~ just makes the trip seem that much closer! I know I am driving DH crazy about talking about the trip...I will probably posting about my excitement more often b/c I am going to lay off talking about it to him (at least for a week or so)!!

Oh, and thanks for all the ticker support

 

[figmentswife]

What and where did you rent??

Usually with Budget, but this trip with Advantage b\c they had the best price a couple of weeks ago

Aaaaaaah! Changes!

So, Dh told me today that he really, really, really doesn't want to drive to Florida (which I didn't really want to do either, but airfare was ridiculous.)

So, so long as DD's friend's parents don't mind her missing Monday of school, it looks like we're going to do the following:

Take a late Saturday flight down (cancelling our Ohana reservation, so when I cancel that, I'm going to make someone very happy), check in very late. Then, instead of starting to drive back Saturday after our lunch ressies at HBD, we'd stay an extra two days, and fly out early Monday morning.

We'd do a room-only reservation for Saturday and Sunday nights. Right now there's availability at POFQ according to the website, so I'm HOPING we wouldn't even have to switch rooms (I haven't called reservations yet). We'd be able to use our dining credits through Saturday (I already booked us a 9pm Ohana dinner) and then we'd eat OOP on Sunday.)

This ends up costing us only about $500 more than we wanted to pay in the first place. The flight home Monday is cheaper, and makes up for having to spend another $530 or whatever it is to stay two more nights at POFQ.

(flights Saturday morning were running like $3000 for the four of us. If we fly Saturday night and then leave Monday morning, it's more like $1800.)

So DH is going to crunch the numbers over the next few days while I talk to DFriends parents and make sure they don't mind her missing Monday at school.

Two more full days at Disney is not a bad thing though, is it?

Two more days at Disney? Priceless!

I know what you mean about the flights though. We'll be there the same days as you and we were fortunate enough to get in on a big sale that happened out of the blue. We're flying Non-stop, Saturday the 31st to Saturday the 7th of April for $225 a person!

Now that same flight is $675 a person!

Glad you were able to:
1. Eliminate the drive.
2. Still get an O'Hana Ressie.
3. Extend your stay a couple days!

Well I hope it works out with your DFriends and their DD missing a day of school.

I agree!! 2 more days is definitely NOT a bad thing
