excited to play around with Aurasma again, it looks like it's working much easier this year

I hope so! I had a hard time getting it to work for some Frozen stuff a while back...

I ended up with too many Star wars clothes, and not enough for the rest of my trip!

I had my first Disney dream last night. I found out that the parade actually started in front of the house where I grew up but no one else knew that so I was the only one there. I was upset that no one would be cheering so every time anyone in the parade went buy I yelled "Yay Sunshine!!"

That's an easy fix, just wear sw all trip. That's probably what I'll have to do.

I also had my first disney dream last night. Except in mine I was by myself at Mk cause no one else felt like getting up.

It was like a rare character bonanza, except they only stayed out for like 5 minutes. I met Sebastian and the boy from treasure planet.

OK, off today and leave tomorrow for the LONG drive! Just finished cutting out all of my Mickey heads for Dis boards and my May FB group, and now have to pack some last minute items and do laundry. I felt like I had all the time in the world, and now Im panicking that my plans aren't good enough ro that I am going to forget something. With that said, I'm staying with my go with the flow mantra.. it won't be the end of the world! I look forward to meeting many of you! Please feel free to come up and say hi, don't be shy!

So you can make it work just off your monitor?

I forgot to print out the Mickey heads...anyone has the link handy?

yeah, I just searched for the logo on the computer. You just point your phone at the screen and it worked

@yulilin3, what do you mean by drops?

 

[yulilin3]

@yulilin3, what do you mean by drops?

for ear ache,I assume they have them. They have eye drops and allergy cream

Anyone else feel crazy weird that their trip is coming, been planning this for so long I feel weird that the planning stage is nearly over....

Yes. And I'm starting to panic about surprising DH. I had planned to tell him the morning we are leaving. Now I think I'm telling him the night before.
I got my suitcase packed last night while he was out of town. Just have toiletries to add
I'm working on DGD's over the next couple of nights while DD and I watch The Voice (DH doesn't join us for that)
Luckily we are headed to DL a week after we get back from WDW so DH just thinks a lot of what I'm gathering/prepping for is for that trip.

I am clearly Aruasma challenged. I never could make it work at HS last summer and I can't get a thing off that poster. I've got a decent phone too, Note4

Yeah - I'm not able to make that picture work at all with an iPhone 6. The app just keeps scanning the image.

I wasn't able to use the one posted on this threat - it was too big for my screen for all of it to be seen at one time. But I was able to make it work when I googled the SWW 2015 logo and found a smaller version.

Make sure that the phone is focusing on the whole logo, especially the bottom part that says Star Wars Weekends. Is the screen doing a little focusing thing, with dots that go in and out?

 

[yulilin3]

see how on your phone screen there's like a frame? Try for the logo to be in frame entirely

Same here.

Wonder if it has anything to do with location? Like you have to be in the Orlando area for it to work?? Just wondering because the app required me to have location services turned on before it would work (I default to having that turned off).

I don't think so cause I don't have my gps on

Thank you for the advice. Hardest part is seeing her in pain. Also watching fast passes go bye ;_;

If she can take it, sudafed (the real stuff, not the pseudo-sudafed!) would stop pain from ear infections for me almost immediately.
