Resort Changers--The Saga Continues.....

[WDWKOOK]

Is it sad that I've memorized my reservation number? I've keyed it in so many times that I know it by heart now.

@WDWKOOK: I need a map of Epcot, MK and WDW. I don't like the ones I'm finding online because they aren't big enough. I'd much rather have the physical map in my hands. lol I already have my ADRs made. I only needed two. My gramma and I don't want to be tied down by reservations. I also have not received an email from them. And you guys are not boring.

Only Club Level is available at CR right now with my PIN so I'll be calling back first thing tomorrow. It's the 45 mark and I expect quite a few cancellations!

I have no clue which days I'm going to which parks. It's tough to decide. I really want to be at MK til 2am on the day I arrive. At least maybe late evening to 2am so I miss most of the crowd. It's such a tough decision.

Not sad at all! You know more about your trip than most people. It's great that you're an informed Resort Changer

Did you know that you can have free personalized park maps mailed to your house? Here is the link:

Where are you going for Spring Break? Do you have a WDW trip planned for then too?

No, we're not going to WDW for spring break. That might be overkill considering we were just there for Christmas and in August (we spent 22 nights there last year).

I swear most of these people would never say these things to someone's face! They can be SO rude. I just don't get it.

The Trans. board gets huffy over people wanting cheap airfare, people preferring a higher ticket price VS paying per checked bag, and choosing the best price VS allegiance to one airline.

Budget board has uptight people who care way too much what credits people get on their taxes, how much people spend, how much others are in debt, pulling kids from school to go during value season, etc. It's insane! Really I'd like to remind them that someone else's finances are none of their business sometimes!



What part of NJ are you in? You should meet me in Sea Isle City this summer!



I'll read the Trans. board for info or entertainment, but I'm too scared to post!

Hmmm... I need to go take a look at this contentious thread - sounds entertaining!

The passporter maps are awesome! I love this planner. I officially upgraded from POR to YC I am so happy to be staying in deluxe. DS is excite about SAB. Maybe this time we can take resort breaks...last year's trip...we were in the parks all day cause DS did not want to leave Not this year....I am a quick learner...

That's quite the exciting upgrade. You'll love the convenience of walking to Epcot and SAB. I hope you have a great vacation!

I'm glad it's not sad. I have only been to Disney once and that was 11 years ago, yet I feel like a veteran just from reading lots of threads here on the Dis.

I do have those already. I don't know if my 6 months is up before I can make a new set.

disneydreamin247 I'm in Middlesex County, almost right over the Outerbridge. BTW I like your new ticker

For today, I am leaving everything as is. I think I may stick with a few nights at GF this summer (thanks Kaffinito for the suggestion) but I have to say I'm diggin the CR (WDWKOOK). But I do want to try the Poly too. I am sure we will be happy wherever we go. I just need to stay off the Disney website until the current Summer code expires, so maybe I won't book a third reservation for August.....I still have to cancel or shorten one

OTHopeful35 Congrats on the YC

 

[ClareH37]

Don't feel bad. I have been all over the place, and I still don't feel like I know where I'll stay in August. I am definitely settled with the Universal/ St.Petes portion, unless AP rates come out then, here I go again

lol - it's soooo good to know I'm now alone with my tweaking

Now that sounds like a plan. I agree on the CL prices with no discount. I won't pay full price either - unless it's at AKL - then I might.

It's my plan for the moment lol - I've a feeling it may change with a discount I really like the look of AKL and I will make it there one day.

That's SO close! That bridge is like a gateway to good dining options. Houlihan's was like a sponsor or my pregnancy so we were ALWAYS going to Jersey!

I think GF sounds like a plan! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

Thanks for noticing my ticker. I refuse to change it! This one is final.

I'm seriously hoping for an AP discount for our dates! But I really REALLY can't change our resorts.

Got pin for FD and decided I couldn't pass it up. Make original ressie for POFQ but then decided I really didn't like the theming, changed to CBR but that increased my vacation by about $200. Checked availability at POP and realized I could book another night and still save almost $500. Pop here I come

 

[Lillian Gracey]

So because I have my reservation number memorized, I called Disney on my last break at work, which was at about 7:45pm CT, to see if anyone else cancelled, but no one did. I was on hold for like 5 minutes or so so I was very hopeful, but unfortunately no luck. I am so glad I got my break then because I wanted to catch them just before they closed.

 

[Lillian Gracey]

Sorry for the double post, but I'm in need of help. I plan on using gift cards for paying for souvenirs, food, etc. I looked at the designs online and I found a ton that I like. Should I just put a little on each card or just pick the one I like best and put it all on one card? My boyfriend says I should put it all on one card so I don't have to worry about figuring out which card has what amount on it after I use them. But the designs are so cute!

I figure you guys could help me out because you are such a nice bunch of people and I'm afraid of being flamed or attacked by the people on the theme park board.

Why don't you get one design for the souvenirs and one design for the food

You're certainly posting in the right place. I like the idea of adding an additional night and saving some $. Have a great vacation!

You need to tell the CM sometime that you've memorized your conf. number and you call on a daily basis - there must be some award for that. I hope your persistence pays off again.

Hi Gang!

So is anyone going to be watching to see if new discounts come out on Monday?

I'm going to try to stay away from the DIS for the whole day.

I will be on first thing Monday

ClareH37 You are SO not alone on this thread

 

[Lillian Gracey]

Why don't you get one design for the souvenirs and one design for the food

That sounds like a good idea! I don't want my gramma paying for all the food so I figure I'd pay for my portions or for a snack. Now decide which two I want. The highest amount I can put on them is $500, but that should be plenty. I'm a shopper so I'm worried about the souvenirs gift card running out. I'm trying to not use my debit card at DW which is why I'm going with the gift cards.

I just love the designs that it's just so hard to pick one out. There are two Alice designs and a couple of Daisy ones and some Aurora ones and they all look fabulous. I feel like I'm gonna switch between which ones I want pretty often before I decide on which two I want. I have a feeling I'm gonna be labeled as a "Gift Card Switcher".

Hahahahaha! I should tell them that. I really hope it does. Going to call right now! Wish me luck!

 

[Lillian Gracey]

So I called while doing my laundry because I know the process so well that I don't need to be at the computer to do it and only club level was available.

 

[WDWKOOK]

There's always tomorrow, Hannah!

I don't think there's a thread for that - yet

What do you think of the 40th anniversary ones?

Those are so cute! I'd get the one with Daisy on it for sure! I think I'm gonna do three gift cards. One for my souvenirs, one for my food and one for souvenirs for other people. Knowing my spending habits, I have a feeling there will be nothing left over for family or friends.

These are the ones I'm looking at:

These are my top 6 favorites. There are some other ones I like, like TLK and some of the couples (Aurora and Philip, Aladdin and Jasmine), but I think these are the ones I will decide from.

 

[pas130]

LillianGracey I bought the Princess cards for my girls, and the Toy Story one for my DS to have a "credit card" to use on vacation.

OK, so I have officially (for now) decided NOT to do BWI this August and just stay GF. Now, I am eyeing the Sugarloaf 1 bedroom suite instead of 2 rooms at RPC. (No suites available in the main builing...that I can fit all the little ones AND afford at least) I really need to make a decision though.....

 

[WDWKOOK]

Hey, is this where I post a resort change?

I followed in Hannah's footsteps today and was able to book the CR Tower/BLV. I did have to move our arrival to two days sooner, but that's not a problem. DH is not going to miss our AKL/CL reservation and I think our reservation is perfect now with 5 nights in the Tower and 7 nights in the BC/Deluxe CL room.

Now I need to switch those AKL ADRs to the MK area and cancel the Sunrise Safari. I'm too embarassed to make the AKL IPO cancel the SS so I'll just ask the BC IPO

We need an official resort changers' logo. Maybe I can get Missoutandabout to tell me how to make one. Have a great weekend fellow changers.

BTW, I told pas130 on the GF thread to book the suite. What do you guys think?

I think moving to be on the monorail sounds great!

Now, I think I need to change my GF Cafe ADR to 1900 PF...thoughts?
