I just got a flier in the mail for my Disney Visa and in there it says that they are re-realeasing Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D Oct. 2nd It's going to be sold as a double feature! We love Toy Story, but I never saw it in the theater - so this is exciting. It should be great in 3D also - though probably a pricey ticket - for Toy Story, I'm willing to spend it I think.

When we went to see Up they had an ad for the Toy Story movies on a TV outside the theater. So exciting they're rereleasing them. I definitely remember seeing Toy Story in the theaters because I remember afterwards I wondered if my toys did stuff like that. There's also going to be a Toy Story 3!

Oh, that's cool!!!! We love both 1 and 2.

I just DD can sit through 2 movies - she loves Toy Story though so I think it will be fine!

I can't wait for Toy Story 3!!!!!!! So smart on Disney's part to rerelease the first two

Oh, that's cool!!!! We love both 1 and 2.

Definately!

So I stole the idea from another Diser (Dreamer I think) and we started Disney movie night last night. We started with Cars - no food really goes with that, so we had sloppy joes. Maddie said that was a good choice because they were red like Lightening McQueen - works for me So we watched the movie and had rootbeer floats It was a very nice night! I think next week may be Ratatoullie because it is going to be on Disney Channel.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Now I want a rootbeer float... too bad we don't have ice cream... or root beer. I guess I have to settle for water.

yummy rootbeer floats!!!!

I did a week of ocean animals with my pre-k kids today and on Friday we're going to watch Finding Nemo and have gold fish crackers and they earned an ice cream party so we're having rootbeer floats too!!

I was at BBB in 2008 Jan-May and then Feb-May 2009. DTD is nice, but I've heard reports from other FGITs they aren't as personal as the ones in the castle. They really stick to a strict time guide-15mins for a fairytale, 20 for diva, and 25 for pop where as at the castle as long as they are out within 45mins that is good so I guess just to warn, perhaps it has changed at DTD but when I interviewed for Full Time back in Feb the manager was pretty persistant about it..sad if you ask me

Can't wait to hear more!!!

That's funny how rumors are - I've read on the Dis that people think that DTD is more personal (that's not why we are going there, we had a great experience at the castle, I just want to try both). So I guess it just depends on attitude and expectations. I'm sure both are wonderful!

 

[joy13]

We are going out of town for the weekend, so I'll give you some trip stuff to mull over while I am gone

Our first day is all travel, we don't leave Green Bay until 10:45am and aren't scheduled to arrive in Orlando until 6:45pm. So I figure we won't get to POP until 8:00 or after. So that day will just be travel, unpacking and getting a good night's rest for the next day. I just wonder how late our luggage will arrive - I'd hate for luggage services to wake Maddie up. Does anyone know how they handle that later at night? I don't want to pick up our luggage ourselves - that's half the fun of Magical Express. Something to ponder I guess.

So our first full day will be Monday 10/26. We have an 8:10am ADR at Crystal Palace So we should be done eating by park open or shortly after My plan is to get as much done as we can in Fantasy Land and then get to Toontown about 9:45 to so we can get in line for Tinkerbelle and Friends right away. Depending how long we wait, I'd like to get to Ariel's Grotto also. We've never done the Ariel meet n' greet because the line was always so long and I hate to wait that long for character greetings. Once we are done with those things, I don't have a plan - I need that to change

Here's a list of what we want to see in Magic Kingdom - not all this day, overall.

Adventureland:
Pirates of the Carribean
Magic Carpets of Aladdin
Jungle Cruise

Frontierland:
Big Thundermountain Railroad
Splash Mountain

Liberty Square:
Haunted Mansion
Hall of Presidents

Fantasyland:
Ariel's Grotto
Cinderella's Carrousel
Dumbo
Small World
Tea cups
Winnie the Pooh
Philharmagic
Peter Pan's Flight
Snow White (maybe)

Toontown:
Barnstormer
Pixie Hollow
Mickey/Minnie's House

Tomorrowland:
AstroOrbitor
Buzzlightyear
Monster's Inc
TTA
Carousel of Progress (maybe)

It's alot and the first morning is the most time we will spend there, so I may be overacheiving somewhat, but we'll see how we do that first morning.

So I got an email from Stitchkingdom about refurbs today. It seems that the Computer and Bowling Pin pools may be closed down while we are there (10/25 - 11/1). Not a huge deal to me, but makes me hope we get our request a little bit more. I wonder why they would close 2 of 3 at once?

I don't believe that they will do 2 at the same time! I believe I have read before that Disney will only do 1 refurb at a time! Maybe I can try and pry for you while I'm there next week and see if I get any answers for you!

That would be great - thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DreaGirl]

Your list looks great. I think you'll be able to get most of those things in during your trip. I hope you get to meet Ariel as well as the Fairies. So fun!!

I can't believe they would have both pools down at the same time. That would only leave the Hippy Dippy Pool for all the guests. I hope you find something out Goofy22!!

Thanks! I hope we can work Ariel in too, if not that morning maybe when we go for MNSSHP early, after 6:00 we can see her without much wait.

I agree about the pools, it's good to have someone on the case

Thats the same things I have heard too. DTD is MUCH friendlier. I was happy with our castle experience, but I didn;t think out girl was anything super in personality. She was actually a bit quiet, but Claire was very happy and thats all that mattered to me.

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

sounds like a great first day!!

..I can't believe they would close 2 pools at the same time but I guess if they leave just one it's something but hopefully they wont!!

I'm not worried - I'm sure we'll have a great time. Maddie is pretty talkative so she'll engage her FGIT if they don't engage her

That doesn't seem right, either way we'll have fun I'm sure.


We had a great weekend up north! This week is pretty busy, but I'll try and do a little more planning this week.

 

[jordanyosh]

It would be logical that if your luggage arrives at the resort past 11pm or so. That they would hold it until morning or you could go pick it up....but that's logic.......

 

[DreaGirl]

I think there is a cut-off time for luggage, and I want to say it is 11pm. You could ask over on the resort board.

When we went in November our luggage wasn't there at 10 and we had to call and request it to be delivered. 1/2 hour later, we were out of diapers and waiting on our luggage. At that point my DH asked if he could get it himself because of the diaper issue and they delivered it within five minutes.

I would just call if it's not in your room and either tell them to hold it or ask if you can get it yourself.
