Your daughter is adorable and your nephews are soooo handsome. I can't wait to see how you surprise them and oh how excited they are going to be. That dessert party has me interested too. The desserts look so good. I am watching to see if they extend it too. Let's hope!

AWW thanks!!!I think my daughter is going to be super duper excited- she has been talking about wanting to go for a while!! If you hear anything about the party let me kno!!

I had no idea you had a PTR. I'm always on the Budget Board but ventured out and saw a post you made on someone's countdown and said I think that is Annette!!

We are at 51 days. I have planned a bit but started thinking about it again today.

How do you like the Verizon App?

I have the free version of Lines but may pay for a subscription. I can't decide to do TGM. For some reason I feel like my experience and the DIS had given me enough.

Oh and for your nephews - Buzz, TSM, The safari in Ak, Goofy's Barnstormer, The 3D shows - Muppets, Philharmagic. The Toy Story pizza place in DHS with an arcade.

If they like roller coasters - Rock and Roll and Big Thunder Railroad.

Are you using your GADs for fastpasses or upgrading them for multiday?

Oh and our Disney store had shirts for $5 and$6 yesterday. We have to take our matchy Magic Kingdom pic again. LOL

Take care - Terri (I'm going to subscribe)

HEY TERRI!! I knew you were on the boards but did not know your username! I am not sure about the GAD passes, I posted a question in your J and I am going to post it here too!! I have played around with the VZ app but I guess you won't really know till you are there- I have heard good things about it though. My concern is how it is going to eat up my battery in the park

Hey PAM! I have not even ordered the sheets yet.. i need to get on that!I will do that this week!! Thank you for the motivation! You rawk!Yes I have been walking!! and I took a water class on Sat!!

Ok..here is my GAD question
I have a question about my WDW Tickets GAD tickets..
I am not sure what is the best way to get the most out of the GAD.
Gabby does not have a GAD only me, she really does not ride thrill rides and unless that changes in the next 3 months, we won't be riding any of them.
I don't know if using it for FP or just upgrading it or maybe just getting the souvenir is the best option.
I plan on getting my tickets from UT and when I priced them(not inlcluding their discount) a 5 day pass would cost the same as a 6 day and be for both of us for 437.90

[QUOTE If you hear anything about the party let me kno!![/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Will do!

 

[Nettaboo]

If i bought tickets straight from Disney, and not counting my GAD ticket it would cost
456.89 for Gabby and I for 6 days passes

If I bought tickets from UndercoverTourist not counting my GAD ticket it would cost
429.90 for 6 day passes

If I use my GAD pass and upgrade it at Disney from a 5 day pass and then buy Gabby a 6 day pass at Disney it will cost
161.98 +210.87= 372.85

If I use my GAD pass and upgrade it at Disney from a 5 day pass and buy Gabby a 6 day pass on UT it will cost
161.98 +198.85= 360.83


Needless to say I will be going with one of the two latter

Where did you find this gem of a deal?

Where did you find this gem of a deal?

I just went and tried it and it told me it was not valid or had expired.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I know that Jensieb on my trip report posted that there's a % off the photopass CD that is open to the general public. Thankfully, I went in with several people and we are doing a share. My portion is just $11.67!

 

[Nettaboo]

AWWW MAN!!!! I should have gotten it yesterday!Well the pre order is still a good deal..
Lisa, wow that is a great deal!! and you answered my question if you can use multiple cards with it.

I am trying to come up with a budget. I have an idea what I need for our ADRs and things like photpass. How much do you think is a good amount to have for a 5.5 year old??

I just need to try to come up with something for shopping and souvies..I think I want that Mickey Dooney and Bourke and I want to do Pick a Pearl. I need to make a list of who I am bringing something back for (very short list!) and a limit.
I don't want to keep telling Gabby she can't buy things but I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff. I know I will def. let her get ears, and I am going to limit the stuffed things to 2. She loves stuffed animals, I had her go through them around Christmas and got rid of a bunch. It was so bad at my house that I had to tell everyone that they were not allowed to buy any for her-of course my MIL still did!Where was I-lol.
I want to tell her that she has a certain amount to spend and then after that she is done. If I do that, then I know she will be conservative with her spending.

Well you know we all have opinions and love to share them... that being said, I was so disappointed in the Dooney & Burke purses. They are not even leather. They are cute, but I don't think they are worth the money.

I did have a thought on the budget for your daughter. Have you thought about buying her a gift card with Disney Dollars? That way she can get whatever she wants within the budget you set. It is her "money" to spend on however many items she can get for that amount.

Shopping at DTD and at Mouse Gears in Epcot are 2 of my favorite things to do at Disney. If you need me to price anything while I am there in May, just send me a note. If you PM me your email, I can put it into my phone and email you prices from my phone while we are in the park.

I did not know that about the D&B..hmm interesting!
I thought about the GC is a good idea, but I would have to get her a bunch because if one got lost then we are done for! I like the idea..but I still have no idea how much to put on it!!LOL

Thanks for the offer, and I will def. make a list!!!

I swear I can't keep up with anything now-days including my subscribed threads. I keep catching up and then falling behind again.

Am I remembering correctly that you asked if multiple cards could be put on one Photopass account? If so, then the answer is yes. I'm doing a share this year but in year's past, I've had up to five cards that I combined on one account.

I would love to have a Dooney & Burke purse but I am too cheap to buy one. As far as budget goes, you don't want to talk to me about that. I am a sucker for souvenirs! I always buy way to much.

To get to Animal Kingdom and Downtown Disney from your resort, you'll simply catch the bus to both. On your other ADRs....will you be in the parks at the time you are going to them or at your resort (obviously, with the exception of Crystal Palace)

Hey Lisa!! I feel the same way about my subscribed!!
That is good to know about the photopass because I know my dad and the boys will not be with Gabby and I all the time. Now I have to just remind them to get the pics!!!LOL
I saw the purse the last time and I really wanted it but I talked myself out of it...I am so hard on purses that I really should not even be considering it!!LOl

I am sorry I guess I should have made it clear where I will be comming from!!
All of the locations will be from the resort

Hi Nette. Be at your bus stop an hour before your ressie. we were late for a few b/c we were sure 30 minutes was enough. Nope.

Is your CP ressie b4 the park opens? There will be a special line for early breakfast ressies so look for it. It was really cool. I felt like a VIP going through that line. LOL I have thought about making a ressie so I could get in there early even though we won't eat there. I know that's wrong so I havne't. Plus it makes for an early morning!! We aren't doing early mornings. Going to use the GAD fastpasses to our advantage there.

 

[teedisney]

Did you add the prices of your meals plus tax and tip?

 

[teedisney]

Oh the menu at akershus is interesting. I'd be ordering of the kid's menu there.
