Princess Caitlin pre trip August '10 costarring dawnbu40

True but I think a 2nd Floor Option at Mexico may be awesome if the rumors hold.

Also, you can always be a wimp like me and ride Mission: Space Green Team.
Mom should be able to handle that one - it's no worse than Star Tours.
I took DD7 last year and he's just as wimpy as I am...

As for 2 days in Epcot - it's definitely worth it.
We usually take our time through the countries (and Kim Possible helps that now) on one day (after Soarin and Mission:Space in the morning).
The other day is devoted to Future World (with meals in Coral Reef or the closer countries like Le Cellier, San Angel Inn, or Biergarten).
The way I figure it, the more time in Epcot, the more time to enjoy those great restaurants!!

I do think the second floor at Mexico would be cool to check out

I usually ride orange and my mom gets little bit of motion sickness so I don't see her going on Mission Space any time soon


I really want to check out more of Future World it seems like we always miss it I really want to try out the new roller coaster simulator Sum of all Thrills

Yes I am a big chicken when it comes to the rides I get motion sickness but instead of getting an upset stomach I get terrible headaches that last all day So at Epcot that means I don't do Soarin (that flying feeling is horrible for me!) or Mission Space. TT doesn't bother me and I really enjoy it!

That sounds like a fun day at Epcot, but then again, I love Epcot! We've done chefs de france twice before, usually for dinner and really enjoyed it. That'll be fun that you'll get to meet Remy! I think that would be fun to do when you are dining there. Oh, and the yummy desserts you can get between the restaurant and the nearby patisserie. yum1

Glad to hear that things worked out well with your car Can't wait to see your pins , we do a lot of collecting but haven't traded as of yet . The plans for Epcot sound great & a lot of fun .

I am looking forward to it! I love the patisserie! My dad and I have a tradition of getting the cheese plate every time we go there I can't wait to meet Remy I think he might scare my mom a bit though

Thanks I am glad too I am so excited to get it fixed finally it's just so hard to find time especially since I will be without it for 5 1/2 days

Pin trading is so much fun! I got addicted to it last trip when my mom bought me maybe 10-13 pins and I eventually ran out of ones to trade with so I felt I had to buy more this time. It was a really good deal though it was $1.10 for each pin and the seller offered free shipping

Great day 2 plans. I completely agree with you about Universe of Energy, I love that ride, I think Ellen is the funniest woman on the planet...we love her!! I have a confession...we`ve never done Journey into Imaginations.... but we`re gonna do it this time

I know I love Ellen too! I am actually watching the full season of American Idol for the first time since Reuben Studdard won just because of her!
You have never been on Journey into Imaginations! You definitely need to change that!

Us too!!! Jas and I love her, she is on here at 5pm so we tend to eat dinner while we watch her. When we first heard she was going to be on AI, we both looked at each other and said we would be watching for sure. She is exactly what the show needs....IMO.

I promise you we will go on, it will be nice to do something none of us have done

I wish she was on at 5 she is on at 11 here

I agree I never really liked Paula and that's one of the reasons I tried to stay away from it plus I feel really bad during the first audition portion because some people are really bad and they think they sound amazing

Thank you I am going to hold you to that promise

Happy Monday Everyone!
Guess what I got in my email this morning? Our vouchers for the Disney Give a Day Get a Day Program I have to say I am so impressed with the ease of this program! We simply signed up online, waited to hear from the local Project Linus rep, made the blankets, delivered them to the PL coordinator's home and then waited to hear back from Disney.(which took about 10 days after the blankets were delivered) The email this morning had a link to click on and print the vouchers. Very simple! If any of you are planning to do this there are some blackout dates you might want to be aware of....WDW BO dates are March 29-April 8 and July 4th. The DL BO dates are Feb.13-14, March 21, June 21-22, July4th, Nov. 21 and Dec.11 & 12.All vouchers must be redeemed by Dec.15, 2010.

I read on the Dis that these can be used to upgrade towards an AP. So now I am trying to decide if I should combine these and our March 5 day passes into AP since we'll be back in Sept? Anyone have any thoughts?

Ooooh - applying towards an AP sounds promising.
How much does it equate to?
We're still looking for a volunteer app that the whole family can do.
Using the voucher as a discount off an AP is even more incentive though!!
BTW - is there a gift card option like with the Birthday Fastpasses last year?

From what I've read on the Dis you can get the full $79 ticket price if you use the voucher toward an upgrade.

There is no gift card option offered. It's either use the ticket,donate it or get the fast passes.

I hope you guys have some luck finding something your whole family can do!

I'm somewhat the opposite. LOVE Soarin' but Test Track leaves me a little queasy. Well, just the roller coaster part. Mission space is ok. I did the easy one and no real problem but the hard one...I'll pass.

I did PM you about Facebook.

And, is it just me, or is D23 really cutting close for its 1st year anniversaries? How do they expect for "visitors coming in around the world" to make it? (other than already have planned trips?). I woudln't mind coming down for the March 5th celebration, but I can't make plans until I have a ticket to it.

 

[WrightFamily06]

Congrats on getting your Disney Give a Day Get a Day Program tickets ! Upgrading to annual passes would be awesome , I don't have any real advice on weather to get them or not but I would def make sure it was worth your money

I'm thinking I need to at least TRY Soarin on this trip. If I don't like it I can always close my eyes

I messaged you on FB

I am really suprised they haven't released more details about the D23 party! We really want to go to the party but I am anxious to hear how much it's going to cost! Hopefully we'll hear something soon!

Thanks! With 2 trips planned the AP would save me a couple hundred $. I guess it will boil down to whether or not I want to put out the extra $ in March to buy them

 

[Queenofallthings]

I hope you can afford to get them March, it would save you in the end. Keep our fingers crossed for you!!! Glad to hear it was so easy!!

I always skip the try-outs as well. I tivo all the episodes so that I don't miss any of the real ones, but just delete when I find out it's an audition.

You guys are scaring me with the motion sickness. Tessa is over 40 inches so she'll be able to go on most of the rides, but she does get car sick so which ones do I avoid???

Ideally purchasing the AP would save me $ unless of course it compelled me to book more trips in order to get more use out of it

Your ticker says 3 days!! You 3 are going to have so much fun!

I don't get car sick so I'm not sure if the same rides would bother Tessa that bother me but here are rides I avoid...at MK the teacups are the worst! I skip those and Space Mountain. At DHS I don't do the Rockin RollerCoaster, Star Wars or the Tower of Terror. ("normal" elevators bother me so I have no desire to ride one that will drop me ) and at AK I skip Expedition Everest.

 

[yinyanggirls]

Hmmm. I wonder what the difference is, with different types of motions? We did the teacups with her last year and she was fine. Dumbo was her favorite, so I guess spinning isn't her issue. I don't even get motion sickness but I hear you the ToT!!! I used to have a repeating nightmare of being in a falling elevator. No thanks!

Glad the spinning doesn't bother her! The teacups and Dumbo are classic rides that every child should experience
