I don't know what I'm doing yet :rotfl: but I set up twitter and instagram accounts and subscribed to #DISTeamAug.

I haven't really gone into these before because I need to figure out the whole private vs public thing for each before I feel comfortable using them. If anyone has any quick pointers or a good link for this information, I'd appreciate it.. :thumbsup2

I'll add you to the list! It's kind of a learning curve but if you only use them for Disney then you'll stay pretty low on the radar :) You can always make things private so only those people who you add can see what you do.

I found it on my phone, you have to click on your profile and it shows a tab titled lists....I found it there along with 3 other lists I didn't know I belonged to lol.

Well this is going to be the blind leading the blind :rotfl: It figures it would take Disney to drag me into the 20th century...I got my Iphone for Disney Apps, touring and to take pictures in Disney last year, this year twitter:scratchin I am not sure I want any part of the instagram thing though...maybe next year.

I tried to "follow" DISTEamAug, is that what it means to "subscribe". I know I am doing something wrong because it does not seem to exist???

Help the tech impaired please:flower3:

Joining in totally late! Until last week, I was booked but wasn't sure if we were actually going. We just got back from a 17 day road trip cross country and I wasn't sure if I could swing Disney in August financially. Turns out I can use our APs one last time before they expire! We will be at Pop from Aug 10-16, possibly the 17th. I can not wait and am in full planning mode now! :cool1:

Somehow I did it, but now I don't remember what I did. LOL. I think I did a search, then one of the results showed #DISTeamAug, so I clicked that and was able to subscribe. ?? I think. Now I'm not sure if I'm supposed to actually add each member that comes up in a list now? Uurg!

I've been adding people to the list as they give their twitter handles.

To find the list:
1. Search "DISTeamAug" (I'm changing the name to our hashtag without the pound symbol for easier searching)

2. After searching there will be a bunch of tweets from various people. On the left-hand side of the screen (at least on the desktop version, I'll have to check my iPad and phone) there are different ways to search - it automatically searches "Everything" but there are also "People", "Video", "Photos", etc. Find the one that says "Timelines"

3. Click "Timelines" on the left-hand side of the search page and "DISTeamAug by Elle" should show up (it will also show my Twitter photo) - click on it!

4. It will say "Subscribe". Click on that button!

To view it whenever:

1. Go to "Me"

2. You should have the big "More" button next to "Tweets", "Photos/Videos", "Following", etc.

3. "More should open a drop down menu that has "Lists" there. Click on "Lists"

4. It will say "Subscribed To" and "Member of". If I've added you as a member already "DISTeamAug" will show up under both. Whenever you want to see what other people who are a part of the list are posting (both with the #DISTeamAug tag and without) this is the way to find it.



I hope that helps some people navigate to lists. It's weirdly hidden for the twitter "Group" feature.

And I managed to get a "FP" for Be Our Guest lunch for the 9th today! So happy - I've wanted that croque monsieur since they first put the menu out online.

Congrats on the FP. I get to try on about 10 days.

Thanks for the info. So I have my all my tweets as private. At least til I get more comfortable with this. So if I want the team members to see my tweets, do I need to ask to follow them individually or include DISTeamAug in my tweets to show up for the group? TIA (I feel like I should know this already. Kind of embarrassing, as I design websites for living :confused3)

I believe you'll have to individually add everyone to have them see your tweets, though you'll be able to see everyone else's tweets (as long as their profiles are public)

Thanks again. I sent out some test tweets. Can someone please let me know if you can see them. TIA
 
Should I be upset? I'm checking through things..making sure everything's in place. I have been concerned about DME. I'm renting points and sent him the info twice without a response. So thank God for these boards I checked if there's any way I can verify as a renter. I found where it should show in MDE under my reservations but didn't see it. I found the phone number for DME on the same thread and called. They let me enter the info. After I finished the call I refreshed the page and now it's showing up. Glad I did that, but a little miffed.

ETA: Talked this out with my FB friends and have calmed down a little. Thanks :)
 
I hope everyone is having an awesome Sunday! Today I have been looking over my FP+ and ADRs. I am still trying to get a dinner ADR at BOG during our stay (Aug 24-31), but no luck! It is always unavailable for dinner!

Don't give up hope! We got our BOG dinner reservations for this past December about 10 days from our vacation arrival date.

ETA... Always check while you are at WDW as well. I was just able to find an 8:45pm reservation for 4, 5 or 6 - For July 14th (tomorrow night).

I have made crazy changes all afternoon! I've changed my parks, my FP's and my ADR's. I need to stop. :badpc: But I'm not done yet. :rotfl:
