They delayed it 3 mos in advance?

Yes. They also changed the time of our flight on the day we're leaving... 3 hours earlier. We'll have to wake up at 5:00 A.M. ... awesome.

Yikes, what airline?

I finally booked our trip for January 2015.

Another POR January '15 friend!

Another POR January '15 friend!

I'm January as well!

Yikes, what airline?

Air Canada. Leaving from Montreal (YUL).

And they do it all the time but it's usually only a 5-10 minutes difference.

But this time, we'll arrive 30 minutes later in Orlando and we have to leave Orlando 3 hours earlier. I've never seen that before.

Woo Hoo. Glad to have some January Buddies, MrsAyres and ALD85. Maybe we'll run into each other

How are the wait times for the boat to DTD?

Yes, I'd like to know this also.

 

[ALD85]

Yes, I'd like to know this also.

I believe they run every twenty minutes. And they don't fill the boat at POR because they make a stop at POFQ as well.

My sister, brother in law and niece stopped to take the boat and they were told that they'd be waiting about 28 (yes, that's what they told me!) minutes for the next boat, so they took the bus. I'm thinking it's longer because of the work being done at the marina in DTD and how they are not using the Marketplace dock.

I have heard the same from one, then asked another CM and then was told 10-15. Its all if they run into a hold up, or how many boat captains they have on.

Nothing major, no. There's always minor work being carried out all year around of course.

We are going to POR July 2015. We haven't booked yet, but we will be using AAA. Last time I was at Disney World was 1992. Much has changed since then. So it will be like going for the first time. My kids don't know they are going. They won't find out until we get to the airport.

Any planned rehabs in March? I don't want to be surprised like the Poly construction two weeks ago.

I convinced my husband to stay at POR for marathon weekend! Wooohhhooo! We are doing the Dopey Challenge so it will be great to have access to a hot tub. Can't wait!

My husband and I are also doing the Dopey and staying at POR. So excited someone else is as well

It is extremely rare for rehabs to be announced that far out, maybe a month or two in advance?
