Me too!!! Good luck!!!! Only time it's ok to wake up early on a Saturday, lol!!!

4am my time, yikes!!! Normally I go back to bed afterwards but DD has to be at a swim meet at 7:00, and it's across town. So I guess I'll be up for the long haul.

 

[momtwoboys]

waaaahhhhh no blizzard beach in april! That was the waterpark we were going to try. Guess we have to go with typhoon lagoon and stay far far away from that wave pool.

[buzzrelly]

Hey! I found your post and added you in.

I guess I was all caught up in making my ADRs on the 17th that I didn't look back on the thread far enough when I came on for the day. At least that's my excuse.

I appreciate you adding me in, but our dates are April 12-20...I think you made a typo and typed April 15th-20. Sorry I'm a pain!!

 

[bluechic03]

Also if you want to update the list, we will be at POR & BLT whoot whoot!

Those are our dates too - and we'll be eating at a lot of those places but not on the same days. Unless I make any more changes, lol! I said I was going to bed 15 minutes ago, and instead I just sat down at the computer and suddenly decided to make two different restaurant switches and also switched days on several others. Someone help me, I can't stop, hahahaha!!!

I can look for ressies there all the way through 4/17, starting from the main dining reservation page and typing in the restaurant name in the search box. Maybe it's a browser issue? Sometimes using a different one clears up problems like that for me. Good luck!

It kept doing it to me on my tablet, but when I used my PC it gave it to me.

 

[bluechic03]

Of course now I'm up at 4:30am and reservations is down!!!

 

[TJDisneymama]

Air Tran flights are out. There was a nonstop flight home on the 21st for $98 overnight (i got the alert email), but now up to $500. (one way) Nothing cheaper than $450 one way and the only points flights are business class (i'd use up most my points on 1 flight). Damn!!!

 

[TJDisneymama]

well this is just no good. SW is my only hope now.

There's 1 good flight going down on SW that I could book now, and 1 good flight coming back on AT (the nonstop I just posted about). If I use all my SW points, and my $340 AT credit to book those.......... it'll still end up costing us $2300 out of pocket (4 tickets). That is just unacceptable. With that many points and that amount of a credit, I expect to be able to fly practically for free!!

 

[Mousemommy1]

GOT MY ADR's!!!!

4/19 - Yachtsman Steakhouse 5:30 pm
4/22 - Via Napoli 11:30 am
4/26 - Cape May Cafe 5:15 pm
4/27 - Cinderella's Royal Table 8:15 am and....
BE OUR GUEST!!! 6:00 pm

I'm so psyched and glad that part is over!!!! Now going back to bed

Ugh!!! Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for Monday!! (Isn't that when SW fares come out?)

 

[gtpoohbear]

Of course now I'm up at 4:30am and reservations is down!!!

I was able to get everything finally online, but the website was really quirky!! It kept making me login again and link my confirmation number. Then several times after I entered all my info for an ADR and hit submit it would come back with a random error. But i finished about 10 minutes before the phone lines would have opened anyway so I guess I can't complain.

I'll post all of them later, have to get DD ready for her swim meet now!!!

 

[LisaDougKaylee]

Wow! I still can't get over how expensive flights! For those still waiting and watching I hope they come down.

 

[TikiTink]

It's crazy I have been looking for a few months. We are actually considering driving at this point it would be much cheaper.

 

[ddluvsdisney]

I was able to get my 1 ressie for BOG 4/16 @ 6:00.
I was having issues yesterday I guess b/c I was using my phone. I had no problem doing it on the computer.

Oh, I think I'm at BOG on the 16th! IDK off the top of my head.... I think I booked 4:30 though.

Congratulations on your college acceptance! I hope you get the financial help needed!

My favorite show of all time is Les Miserables. Nothing even comes close!

I'm sure my kids will all have a great time. It's just funny that when I reassure dd(10) that there is plenty to do that isn't thrill rides, then my ds(8) starts getting nervous that there won't be enough thrill rides! I try to reassure them that there is something there for EVERYONE!

I definitely need to check out PassPorter. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks! Can't exactly boast just yet, since I won't find out until December, but...I've been told by my counsellors in school that there's just NO WAY I won't be accepted (they have a lot of silly rich kids there who I blow out of the water).

My favourite show is Cats...it's kind of like a religion... I own an eight-foot-tall poster with a bunch of cats on it that currently lives on my wall!

8 and 10 seem a little young for splitting up, but that's in our plans (I'm seventeen, DB is twelve). My dad is NOT a thrill ride guy, but the rest of us are...let's just say that there will be lots of 'see you in half an hour'! I'm hoping that since my parents aren't the kind to wake up early for EMH that I'll be able to head into the park by myself one of the days...considering that I'll be working there at some point, it's good familiarisation

PassPorter is AWESOME! The books are written by a couple with two children, so you can see ride ratings from 'is it baby-friendly?' all the way up to someone my age's perspective. It's all laid out very simply, and I think there are fold-out maps in all the editions, too.


Okay, those 'signature blues', I'm feeling them! No matter how much I edit the darn thing, it cuts off halfway through the text! I guess I've taken too many trips...xD

I'll be at BOG on the 16th at 5:15.

 

[bluechic03]

Yahoooooo I got everything we wanted!!!! With the exception of T-Rex which was only available at 3pm and 9pm on 4/18? Maybe they dont open the dinner window until later....I will keep trying for a regular time. I dont think my toddler and 6 month old would appreciate either of those times

So excited for getting all the times we wanted though! BOG, CRT, Ohana, and Chef Mickeys all at prime dining times! Guess it pays to be an obsessive planner
