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

[buffettgirl]

At this time, next week, I will be probably arriving at Coronado! I will be in DISNEY!!!

 

[jmskinner]

In what area of Target did you find them? That's a better deal that what I just paid for the Cool Blast misters, so I'd like to look at the O2Cool 3133 Mist 'N Sip bottles...my DD14 is going to church girls' camp next week (in Georgia, in July, and they're outdoors much of the day) so I'd like to look at one of those for her. Thanks!

The first one I got at the checkout displays. The two I just purchased I found where they had all the summer stuff (like dishes, other misting fans etc.). They don't have the same label as that described on Amazon, but looks to be the same cup. Mine has "Florida" written on it.

Thanks. I'll look at my Target tonight.

Does anyone know if I should call CBR directly to request connecting rooms? It is in my original reservations, but I am not sure I trust it. I have my 3 little girls staying with my 19 yo stepdaughter in 1 room and me and hubby and his son in our room. I really want to be able to have access to my girls! The CM said because we have more than one adult it is not a guarantee so I want to do all I can to get one!

Yikes only 9 days to go and I have done absolutely, positively nothing!!! So unlike me!

 

[flipflopmom]

I would definitely call. I am staying at Pop, and they suggest faxing in requests like room requests a few days ahead. But for something like that, I would speak to someone directly and explain my situation.

I buckled, and ordered the slipper dessert for our CRT breakfast. I mean, it has strawberries, so that counts, right???

I am so excited over all the surprises on this trip - our Wishes Cruise, the Mickey in room Welcome from the florist, and this dessert. I hope the girls (and DH) are surprised and wrapped in magic the whole trip! The way I see it, the Wishes cruise is the 10th anniv. celebration we never took (I was 8 1/2 months preg.), the Mickey's Welcome is perfect for the girls first trip, and the dessert... just because!

you know I really like the idea of the slipper dessert for breakfast
hmmmm

I appreciate all your kind thoughts and words!

I just got back from the doctor. Hip is not out of socket and it does not looked like a pinched nerve. It is just my bursitis is all flared up.

I asked the doctor what he recommended for 10 days at the theme parks and his response was "Dont go." I told him that was not an option!!! So he said to stay off my feet as often as possible and to use a heating pad.

So I got my first birthday present today ~ a lovely cane and 60 Lortab.

I found some Disney stickers in my office and the cane is sufficiently tacky enough to now be seen at Disney. Think I will bring a sharpie and have Mickey sign it when we go to Chef Mickey's on Friday!

I am still thinking about the electric scooter option.

Well I get to leave work at 2:30 to go have my teeth cleaned at the dentist, then head home to load up the van!

Oh something funny, there was a guy in the next cubicle over from me at the doctor, who was also there because our chiropractor is out of town. My doctor will be real happy when the chiropractor gets back!

WooHoo, off to never, never land, tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you send that doc a post card showing all the fun HE is not having!! He needs to be sprinkled with pixie dust. allears.net has lots of information on the scooter rentals. We were gonna rent one for my MIL, but she went through some more physical therapy (she had double knee replacement) and she claims she can walk several miles now. We shall see. We can always grab one at the park entrance where they rent the strollers. That is very convenient if you don't need it to scoot around the resorts and don't want to have to load it on the bus, since you can grab another one at each park entrance anytime you want.

 

[njtinkmom]

Should I call CBR directly, and if so anyone have the number?? On another note, I was just able to do my online check in !! They only asked if I needed a fridge (which is already in the room) and a pack and play! No I need connecting rooms - but of course that did not come up as an option!

Well I'm glad it isn't anything more serious than your bursitis. Still sorry your feeling bad. Hopefully that lortab will make you feel a little more happy.
My DH has been complaining about his knee - We may be in scooter renting mode too when we get ther

I just ordered a misting fan and water bottle in one unit.

"O2Cool 3133 Mist 'N Sip X-Treme Hydration Bottle

Amazon has a special buy 4 for the price of three..no tax or shipping..

Thanks for the info! I will be checking into it today!

I've seen from several unofficial sources that the Disney resorts don't know about your reservation until 3 days before you check in.. when they start allocating rooms

I've phoned the Yacht Club to request Boardwalk view (we have paid for waterview but i worry that could be a little lake, or the quiet pool!) ... and I was put through to the main reservations phone # ... they did make a note of my request... but i am going to phone the YC directly again when i'm 3 days out (next Monday!! ) to double check that my room request is on there

CBR phone number is: 407-934-3400

Barbie

ps - 8 DAYS to go!!!!! and 7 Days til 'Disney Eve' at DBF's parent's house!! x

 

[Amyz00]

FlyingPegasus - Here's a little Pixie dust that you wake up in the morning and are magically healed! Or at least that the meds/cane work and that you have a magical time in WDW!!!

July DISers - Wow! I can't believe that July is already here!!! I also can't believe that our first July DISers have already left and are either already at WDW or are on their way. 12 more days and I will be headed that way as well! YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Thanks for phone number! I will patiently wait for 3 days out and then call - no use pestering them from now! Have a great trip and I am sure whatever view you get will be stunning!

Myself, ds4, dd2, niece,grandma, and aunt are staying for 8 days at All Star Movies, this is our second trip as a family. I have reservations for BBB and pirates league for the kids. Fulton's crab house, Donalds Safari Breakfast at tuskerhouse, and the Wishes dessert party, all spread out evenly throughout the trip. August 3rd which is our "almost" lasty day there is my 26th birthday, so we are doing wishes dessert party that day . On the second day while we are at the magic kingdom, the disney florist is setting up an Mickey's Grand Welcome in room celebration for everyone!!! I got the original package with tons of addons so everyone in our group will get 32" Mickeys and Minnies, personalized blankets, personalized tote bags, pin starter sets, and mickey plush gloves. Figuring we all will share the rest of the package after that!!! I am really excited and have spent months planning for this trip!!! Can't wait to see my kids' faces when they see the castle !!!!!

That's so odd...I definitely had the "connecting rooms" box as a request option when I did online check-in this morning. It was already checked. Maybe you need to have your 2 reservation numbers linked? My TA made the reservations and linked them together, so perhaps that's why the box came up as an option and was already checked, since the TA had already requested it.

Interesting. This online thing is all new to me!

 

[will5mom]

Hi Will - I hope you have a great time at WDW with your cousin Taylor! We'll be there the same time as you and plan to stop by AKL to check out the counter service restaurant! Maybe we'll see you! [/QUOTE]

Thank you, Will got so excited.

I know I missed some that have been posted and maybe after the hoilday I can go back and pick up that info. If there is any question you all might like included I can of course work it in. Just let me know. Same as if you prefer not to have anything or something not included. I am doing this list to help me remember but it is your list. Let's make this be fun. WEll I an supposed to be at work in 15 min. Guess I should at least strat to get ready. Don't think I am going to be there on time. Oh Well!! Lois
