Our little thread of BIG changes, the neverending saga of the Resort Changers

[Koh1977]

Anyone know...?

I have a friend staying offsite the first night, then at AoA and has FPs for the first day onsite. Do they need to check in to the hotel to activate their MBs or if they go straight to the park, will everything be set (and they can check in later)?

I think they do have to check in to activate the MB, but I could be wrong. On our last trip, we stayed at the Swan the night before checking into the AKL. It seems like we were told we had to check into the AKL to activate the MBs. Of course that could have been because MBs were still only in the testing phase at certain resorts.

Official change tonight, BUT...

Changed the CSR part of our split to POR. I feel much better about the split now. Promised my TA no more changes. ;-) Then asked if he needed it in writing. Lol.

Need to plan some DTD time now! And maybe finally eat at Raglan Road!!

So what are your official resort changes?

And I do hope you get to eat at Raglan Rd. It's a great place!

 

[pigletgirl]

Just wanted to pop in, while things are quiet at nap time, and say hello. Hopefully, I can get caught up on at least stuff from this week tonight. We had a great trip. The final mileage put on the minivan was 5,024. We went through Texas (of course), New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado.
We had a great time at DL, it just didn't feel as magical to me as WDW feels. We even scored last minute Blue FPs from a CM as they were setting up for World of Color. My back had been hurting me, and then we got on the Matterhorn. It tossing me around popped my back and made it feel so much better.

That's how I feel about Disneyland in general for me as well. Glad you guys had a great kick start to the summer!

Did you stop at the Grand Canyon? The west is a pretty spectacular place!

I have another change for our October trip - this time it's not my fault!

We received a Free Dining discount, so of course I called to have it applied. Had to switch to BWI from YC. I was really looking forward to staying at YC, but I can't argue with free food for the same price!

I've never stayed at here before - Has anyone stayed at BWI? How did you like it? Any tips for room requests when I do online registration?

We did. I loved it!! The boys, not so much. We took 180 from Flagstaff to it. I could have sat on that ledge for weeks. When I got my first glimpse of it, I was so overwhelmed with it's beauty that it made me tear up. I could have sat on one of the ledges I sat on for weeks.

I have never stayed at the BWI, but that is where we are staying for my girls only trip in September.

The GC gives me the same chills. It's just so incredible! I've always been slightly envious of the park rangers that get to see it on a daily basis.

Wow!! You sure did put in loads of miles! Hilarious that Matterhorn adjusted your back! I always feel Primeval Whirl is an instant chiro adjustment!!

[Sue M]

Sooo much going on here, hard to keep up!
Trish save travels! Can't wait to hear about Poly!

Janet Cronut AND Grey Goose, oooooh that is a great idea for August, lol!!

Heather yes, who are you kidding! We all know you'll be up with the sunrise looking forward to seeing the pics!

overpacking no comment on the grounds it may incriminate me! but I know I'm in good company!! This trip I hope to do better ( if I hear you laughing Heather )

Toy Story welcome!

Pas

And hugs to all I missed, been at work from 6:00 am today, and I'm fading! End of school is just crazy!!

 

[Sue M]

[Sue M]

Oh never mind it just showed up. Stupid computers

 

[hstrickland]

I wish my Dis was done for a bit but we're closing in on Dec ADR window and I'm getting texts and emails all day. *sighs* It's for the family... it's for the family... it's for the family...

Why of course it is......

If I change anything else I'm not telling DH!! :

Keep your mouth shut!!! Do it on the down-low....works well for me

Ok so now I seem to have changed into not only a resort Changer but a ticket changer! 2 day base...oh yes thats fine...no wait I need two days at MK!! Ok 3 day... no wait.....the other trip 4 day PH, no we don't need 4 days....3 day base is fine...wait panic..what if we want to go somewhere at night??? back to PH....

Sigh...its not really resort changeritis, its just changeritis in general!!

You're killin' me! Let me catch my breath The more days the better!!!

Thanks for all the pixie dust
Have a good weekend and have fun planning.

Hope y'all are having a fabulous time together!!!! Enjoy your Saturday!!!

Beautiful pix Heather!! And 4 days? come'on you only need 24 hours! Now that's my style (and a reason I overpack for sure!!)

No wonder you and Pas are BFFs


This is me today..... I can't even sleep in on a Saturday because my mind is racing about everything that needs to get done. By the way...like your ticker

That's a no-brainer, right! We booked BWI once (I'm dying to stay there) but the MK resorts keep pulling us back. I think you'll enjoy that area. There's sooooo much to do and see on the Board Walk. Have you checked out the BWI Resort Thread?? Tons of great info over there!!!

yes, who are you kidding! We all know you'll be up with the sunrise looking forward to seeing the pics!

Up before sunrise this morning And I honestly tried to sleep-in!

You can't hit me from Canada ....and yes....I'm still laughing

Thanks everyone for all of the great feedback! What a great thread. Love it here!

The peeps here are amaaaaazing! Very good at steering you from bad choices and even better at talking you INTO something!

trishadono - HAPPY TRAVELS!!!

Nope, its because he's a man. And he probably won't remember the tale, so "change" it slightly and go for it!!

Haven't seen the movie - Now I have to! And yes great line for us RCers!

How's LO today?? Zipping around the house?

dimndgal1... I think you need another trip after the fam one to decompress! And it would save money.. you can get APs in September, right? (or are you already doing that?)

Jiko or Narcooses!

HAHA! I can totally see that - he'll say something like "this sounds so familiar" and I'll say "no, no -- you're thinking of that time I made a joke about Dole Whips and Wishes. This is Mickey bars and Fantasmic!"

LO is already tackling our stairs! Luckily we only have 2 sets of 2 so it's a lot less heart attack inducing than a full set. Still, I'd rather her stay level!!! Makes it hard to get anything done when I have to intercept her!

OOOH, glad you had a blast and discovered the theraputic calling of DL!
Where in WY did you hit? I know way too much about WY from trips there to visit DH's family so I'm always curious. Love the Tetons... not so in love with the vast openness!

We loved DL but we found it 'cosy' which was good... just not the same as WDW.

OOOH, beignets from POFQ!!! And you HAVE to hit Raglan Rd, even if it's just for apps/desserts! We love RR and it's the one place DH doesn't quibble about hitting every trip (he really likes to branch out but we find RR a good place to spend arrival night)

Never stayed at BWI but it was my first choice last trip and I desperately wanted to split there this trip. DD was scared of clowns last trip so we moved to YC and couldn't find anything under expensive for this trip. Maybe next time!!! I think you'll love it and the Boardwalk itself is awesome!!!

hstrickland - I have to remind myself that all the stress is for the family in Dec... Sept is my 'let loose' trip. DH has been pretty easy-going about what I book for Sept and has actually put his foot down with the fam a few times for Dec. Still, it's frustrating to have four groups trying to coordinate. Luckily, SILs have already sent me their dining and are pretty much under the "whatever we get, great!" philosophy... so that helps!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! and have lots of good RC thoughts!

Hello Everyone! Based on the title of this thread, I'm certain someone here can help me. DS and I have 4th of July weekend trip all set up, magic bands chosen, FP+ are done, all paid in full. DH has decided he wants to join us, which is awesome, but he wants to arrive a day earlier, and DS and I won't argue with getting more time in the parks! Here's the question: I know adding DH to the ressie is not a problem, but will I be able to get his FP+ for the same time as what DS and I already have? We're not changing anything but our check in date and adding DH and getting him a magic band. I hope my question makes sense, thanks for any advice you can give!

ETA well I called Disney and got it all worked out with no problems. Have a good day!

 

[letthewookiewin]

Wow!! You sure did put in loads of miles! Hilarious that Matterhorn adjusted your back! I always feel Primeval Whirl is an instant chiro adjustment!!

We did and in such a short time, only 11 days. If we ever do a trip with that many driving miles, we'll probably be gone longer.

Sounds like a fabulous journey!!!! Wow!! Glad your back is feeling better.

Thank you

I wish we could have made it up to the Tetons. We drove through it on the way to Estes Park, CO from Salt Lake City, UT. In WY, we drove from Evanston West on 80 to Laramie before turning South into CO.

We loved DL but we found it 'cosy' which was good... just not the same as WDW.

I was just so disappointed in the size of the castle. Plus, I thought I would be fine without putting sunblock on since it was in the low 70's. After 3 days in the CA sun, I was super sunburn.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! and have lots of good RC thoughts!

You as well. I get to do laundry from our trip, knit, and hopefully get caught up on my DVR.

You can try and get him ones for the same time. More than likely, in order to get them for the same time, you may have to redo them.

 

[julluvsdisney]

I saw the cronut a few pages back! yes please! and where would one find such a treat? Looks amazing!!

 

[Koh1977]

Thinking aloud here...

Spend the morning of the 4th of July at DTD and have lunch at Raglan Road, head back to POR for a nap/swim time, then to Epcot for the evening. (Have FPs for Illuminations!) May need to push dinner out a bit later...

Thinking of nixing CRT and doing Akershus instead for DD's princess fix...Also thinking of canceling H&V breakfast...

Trying to figure out plans for the other days then...

There are lots of peeps who love BWI here..Gwynne, magic, sjs314 and our Bay Lake Queen Kookmama hosts the BWI thread (although she did recently RC to YC

I have never stayed at the BWI, but that is where we are staying for my girls only trip in September.
