Official May 2011 thread!

I was so hyped up because I can check in online today ... now I'm only distressed, log on ... says I have no reservations ... so fine, I "find reservations" using my number and it still tells me I have no reservations -- I realize "they" are probably having issues on their end BUT I'm about to throw up! and I don't have time to go through the time it takes to get a real person on the telephone ... at the moment -- okay thanks for letting me share my distress, I know all the ressies are still there, but a little bit of my magic just left the building, was so looking forward to early check in

Just had to say, "me too"

3 days seems to be popular on here!!

It's the 3 day club!

Check out my sig!

YEA for three days!

 

[DisneylandForever]

Only 2 more days!!!

Aww, only 1 day off from being in the super cool 3 day club!

I'm super excited for the trip but bummed out about the weather report so far- showing lots of thunderstorms possible. It only says 30% chance though, so it can change right??? Please say yes!

Well I have semi-good news. I have been checking my Weather Channel app ever since my trip was within 10 days, and it actually dropped to 30% from 60%. Hopefully it keeps dropping!

Weather forecasted that was posted today

Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the weather post! I hope it keeps dropping too! I know you can't plan for the weather (especially in Florida) but yet I still expect it to be sunny and beautiful during my vacation Hopefully the rain will go away or at least pass quickly if it comes!

We leave on Saturday! I have the day off today and that is a very bad thing, I have too much idle time on my hands to sit around and bounce off the walls.

 

[Kristinluvsdisney]

Leaving on saturday!!! Cant wait!!! Super excited that the weather is looking better and the shuttle launch is for monday!!!

 

[rcsilverspring]

I'm doing the SINGLE DIGIT DANCE today!!!!!!!!!
I don't know how I'm gonna make it through the next NINE DAYS!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!

 

[charzywarzy]

Okay, finally accessed Disney online to check in and ... well, ummm, oops ... today isn't the 11th - I have to wait ONE MORE DAY! No, umm, I'm not wishing it was here! 10 days 14 hours Magic is back!!!

 

[Princess&JackMom]

Can't wait until we are in the single digits! So jealous for those going end of the week who may get to see the shuttle launch!

 

[catinthehat35]

18 days for us and I am absolutely beside myself!!! We are so excited but I am starting to feel a little anxious!! Maybe it's because I have a lot to do to get ready but I still think it's too early to start. This week needs to go a little faster I can't wait for next week when I can start saying, "I'm going to Disney World next week!!"

I'm doing the SINGLE DIGIT DANCE today!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for some of that single digit action myself!

I can do online check-in on Friday, knowing that is getting me through.

 

[Disney Spaz]

We have 17 days lef tto leave. We added a day early at Beach Club and I am soooooo excited. The worst part is I have done everything I can leading up to the trip so now all that is left to do is WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GoofyJr]

Started to pack with help of DW.
Don't know what I'd do without her!

My reservations could not be found either.
Looking at past emails for the reservation number!
Make sure you keep confirmation numbers!

Been checking the weather too.
It's getting a little better.

On-line check did not work for me either, so I called to confirm that they had everything set up.

Turns out that since I linked our DVC ressies together (1 night, 3 night, 3 nights), even at the same resort, the computer doesn't recognize the ressies at all.

but the CM had all the correct information.

This has me wondering if I will be able to do online checkin. I have two reservations, non DVC, one on the 25th and one on the 27th, both at the same hotel. I guess I will have to wait till the 15th to find out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, that makes it $84, right? Can't decide if it's worth it. We are 6 adults--Mom, Dad 2 grown daughters & their boyfriends. Any thoughts from anybody would be appreciated. TIA.

I tried to go on-line and the computer had it all messed up...my ressie # but not the full days...only the middle portion of the trip. So that's why I called.

Good luck...just call them to confirm if you can't find it on-line. Better safe than sorry.

If you love pictures (scrapbooks, photobooks, on-line, etc) and you'll be there for about a week and you are dedicated to getting photos taken, then go for it! We alway do when we travel for a week, but not the short weekend trips.

I like the borders that Disney provides and the free pictures (currently they have free Flower and Garden photos that come with it.) And it guarantees that we are all in the photos.

Yes, we take our own camera, too so it's sort of like back-up.

I also like the fun photos (stitch, tinkerbell, simba, etc) that they do.

Awesome -- thanks so much!
