OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

[NikkiLovesWDW!]

ps- we are much goofier looking than that... see ear pic below lmao

So who is eating with us who will wave?? Ibelieve someone at biergarten and crystal palace?

Do you want me to just use the ears pic from your sig then?? I like it!

 

[Mindy5767]

I see it cut off. That was a problem with my pics too at first. Its because of the new siggy rules. You can only have a certain amount of writing etc...

Hmmm maybe try to take out something?

That's weird... I swear it was there yesterday. I haven't changed anything in my siggy line in several days or a week. When I made the change, I did remove some stuff. The odd thing is it shows up fine in the "preview your signature line". I'll see if there is something I can edit out.

 

[dolfinjuls]

Can anyone see my counter on the bottom of my signature? I noticed today, that the bottom of it is cut off and you can't see the count-down. I checked Edit Signature in my profile, but it looks fine there. Preview shows it normal. But on My computer, I see if cut off at the bottom. Does anyone see it normally?

It looks cut off to me too. I can see the ticker, but not the countdown.

And here's the link to the cake thread on the restaurant board:

It also has info on the slipper for someone that asked earlier!

Only 32 days left!!! I can't wait. Still waiting on Mickey Mail to arrive. But, I have made our Mouse Keeper envelopes, printed our packing list and stroller name tag. I hope to go get the LGMH's this week and put them somewhere on our stroller tag... I also want to make a LGMH banner to put in our window at POP. I can't find my camera cable to upload our pictures . But, at least I can see what you all look like. I am going to write down the names of those of you who will be at POP the same time we are (July 20-27) and keep a look out for you. Maybe we will get lucky and run into one another.

For those of you that are still tweaking your ADRs, it appears the online system is up.

[Born 2B a Princess]

It is cancer, and he will have to have his one remaining kidney removed, and be on dialysis for the remainder of his life, which I hope gives him time to watch his grandkids grow up. He will have to be in the hospital for a week, and he told the dr. that he couldn't do it until after July 19th (when we get back). Daddy told me yesterday that the only way he was going to let his babies miss Disney World is for his funeral, and he's not planning on that happening anytime soon.

Also, we are in a time of great sorrow in my community. One of our recently graduated seniors was killed Saturday in a wreck returning from Sr. Beach week. He was a great kid, very active in lots of things with a bright future, I remember him when he was at the elementary school I teach at and he was a true joy even then. His mom is a friend, and I can't imagine her pain......

I'm so sorry about your Dad's diagnosis...I hope that the surgery will go well and that he will have many happy years ahead of him. And I'm also so sorry for the tragic death of your friend's son -- he sounds like a wonderful young man with an amazing future ahead of him. Such a tragic loss.

I wish their was a way to confirm the ressies we already have....

Photopass reminder for everyone!!

Today is the last day you can pre-order PhotoPass CDs and/or books with the 15% discount code "9VISARD15" using this link: http://www.disneyphotopass.com/previsitcdplan.aspx

Disney also announced a price increase for the CD starting tomorrow, so today's your last chance to get this bargain!

Well the price did increase, but not for the preorder!!!

Not sure if the discount code still works.

Looks like the discount code still works too, so you can still get the CD for $84.96!!!

I was just checking that myself.
The code no longer works and the CD+book pre-order price went up as wel if I'm not mistaken (now $169.95). Luckily you can still get the CD for $99.95!

I think it only still works if you've already used it before today. The discount was still there without entering the code, so the system must've remembered that I've used it before. After I removed the discount (clicked on the little bin), the code was no longer accepted. My guess is that it won't be accepted for anyone who tries it for the first time today.

Yep. It was in my basket from when I priced it before. When I emptied my basket, it wouldn't take the code again.

Not sure what would happen if you tried to CheckOut with the expired code.

 

[AshtonsMom99]

good thing I called and confirmed my ressies..they had me at a restaurant I already cancelled....at the same time as a dinner show that I didnt!

Confirm confirm confirm.....

 

[CosmicGirl]

Cosmicgirl, thank you for the info on Coronado! We are very excited to go there! I preordered my photopass cd as well! We are heading to Magic Kingdom on the 4th, how about you guys?

Stacy

On the 3rd we're just gonna get settled in at CSR, eat at the Pepper Market (steak for a QS credit! ) and if we're not too tired my sister and I will either go to DTD or watch the MK fireworks from somewhere around Bay Lake. Then on the 4th the real magic begins with breakfast at Chef Mickey's and the day at MK! We don't plan to do (m)any rides that day, the whole atmosphere of the celebration is good enough .

Only 17 more nights!

 

[jesi]

I got my Mickey Mail yesterday so I am really starting to look forward to my trip.

Unfortunately, the airlines have totally ruined the flight there. It is going to make the trip a nightmare. Hopefully there will be a Disney high going around to not ruin the whole trip just the flight over

 

[23saralynn]

I am getting excited...but then there is the packing to do. YIKES

 

[CosmicGirl]

Some clever folks over on the UK board have figured out how to retrieve existing ADRs online!

On http://www.disneyworld.com hover over "my Disney vacation" until the menu pops up, then click "dining reservations" at the bottom of the menu. Then just enter the confirmation # for a particular ressie and the phone number you provided when making it. The phone number should be in the "xxx-xxx-xxxx" format, including dashes.
Tadaaaah! There's your confirmation!

I've only been able to retrieve about half of mine, which I fear might be due to a phone number mismatch or something along those lines. I do remember the CM taking down 6 ressies and confirming those before proceeding with the next batch. It seems that I can only retrieve the first batch now.

 

[AshtonsMom99]

thanks cosmicgirl......I did call today, but that is good to know......I will probably check again the week before I leave as I am particular like that....

I was able to pull all of mine up (except for the one that I changed and have the confirmation number at home). If you log in, it will attach all of your reservations to your login.

Very cool.

Now if I could look at my reservation online, I would be really happy (but AAA doesn't make that very easy).
