Michelle:
Your kids are so cute! I can't wait to see "the real thing"!
I just thought of a very funny story that I haven't told. Well, it will be funny to us Poppers, but it probably isn't funny to this person!
My former secretary is at WDW now. She's been planning this trip for months, it's a "girls only" trip for her and her aunts. Here's what she told me:
- They're staying at The Wyndham. That's an onsite hotel, owned by Disney. Since that's on onsite hotel, they automatically get free dining in all the parks (not at the other resorts, though).
- Since they're staying onsite and getting free dining, that means that they can get into any restaurant they want to, for any meal (you see, it's guaranteed by their hotel reservation) at any time. No ADR's. So they're going to CRT at least twice and to a couple of the other places.
- Since they're staying onsite, they don't need hopper tickets. The tickets they got will get them into every park every day, even though they're just one day-one park base tickets.
- They're going to take the monorail right from Downtown Disney to Universal Studios one day.
- She says that I obviously must not have done much research on my trip, because I seem to think that we need reservations for table service meals, character meals and dinner shows, and I spent unnecessary money to by hopper tickets.
She'll be back in the office on Monday morning. I can't wait to hear how her trip was!

By the way, they booked this trip themselves and didn't use a
travel agent. Can you tell?
