I don't have picts. But can tell you that a 6pk cans is $15.00. And a case of Dasani bottled water is around $16.00.

We ordered from garden grocer a 12 pk of beer around 13.99 and 24 water 6.99. we added some muffins and yogurt and sunscreen-easily $40 min spent lol

Thanks!! Need to know my coffee situation. I actually brought my own coffee maker in 2010 when we stayed at POP. Lol

Yeah we bought the smallest keurig k-cup machine for 99$ for our stays.

I guess POR guests are part of the FP + starting in September. I was checking MDE and saw that I "Need to hurry up to customize bands as they are being sent soon" So I clicked as the Option to pick Colors was there!.

We are flying in on 01Sep-02Sep at AKL room only and POR package with FD starts on 03-08Sep..

We are in Germany.. Website ( us one) said that bands will be sent to address in Germany.. but I highly doubt this as we NEVER get mousemail. I assume the box will be given to us at check-in..

Anyone else with Sept ressies been able to do this?

I never posted a lot, but learned a whole bunch through the boards. We leave on Thursday and I wanted to thank all who post informative questions and answers, especially Andre and Venomhatch. We are so excited to have our first family vacation, and I am better prepared because of you!

Thanks Again!!!

Nope - we're at POR September 7-15 and nothing yet. I'd guess your AKL reservation is what's allowing you to be part of the testing...I hope I'm wrong, though - I hate being left out of the opportunity to play with new technology!

Hi,

Quick question about online check in and credit cards. I don't mind providing a credit card as a room "bond" so to speak but we are planning on paying for the majority of purchases in the resort and parks by cash as we exchanged our spending money when the Aussie dollar was still above parity! Is it possible to not have "charging rights" on your key to the world cards? and is it possible to complete online check-in and skip this process? Thanks!

You don't have to have charging capability on you KTTW.

Yes you can have them set up no charge privileges to all cards.

 

[kimlrodg]

Yes you can have them set up no charge privileges to all cards.

Venon can I do this on the website during online check in? It wouldn't seem to let me past this step without setting up pin numbers, etc.

No you will most likely have to do that at check in. Even if you do online check in they will already have the KTTW cards ready but they can destroy those and generate new ones with no charge privileges.

 

[kimlrodg]

So I would be better off skipping online check in and just faxing them a few days out I guess? Only 29 days to go!

Its a pretty new droid. But the real issue is its my 15 yo daughter. You can guess the freak out that she had. Verizon can send a new one this week. What address can I give them or should I ask the front desk?

Since your there yes go to the front desk. Second was it on the flight? Most airlines are pretty good about getting you your left behind items back to you. Southwest is above average when comes to lost and found.

Flew Delta. Us and the flight attendants tore apart the 2 rows we were in. Wife thinks it fell behind through the seats and the people behind us swiped it. Who knows. Gonna call Delta to put in a claim just in case. At this point just wanna forget it and jump in the pool.

Ok well jump in cool down. I would do just that also about the claim when you feel up to it. Hope you the magic kicks in soon and keeps you all in good moods for the rest of the trip.
