Rob, Cass & Kira - "This trip is NOT going to suck!!!"-A Fall 2013 PTR -updated 9/23

[Timon]

I can't scan my tickets as there is no bar code. I tried entering the numbers as shown on the screen but it doesn't recognize it. My greatest fear is there will be nothing available by time they do figure this out so, I'm not sure if I should convert now or just go with the regular fast passes. I'm a really confused consumer. I'll try and call them tomorrow.

Oh! I know what you mean now! The old tickets didn't have a bar code, just the mag strip

That sucks!

Yeah I would be worried too because who knows what will be available by then? Especially since it's Thanksgiving week!

Sorry

It took me a bit to figure out because I'm officially on a "package" which has letters but the BoG FP site only accepts number ressies. What I did was use the confirmation/order number from my MBs! Worked like a charm You can find that number when you go into your MDE and into MBs, underneath, there is the order number there

BTW, just in case you don't know, you can't get a BoG FP from within your MDE, you have to go here: https://beourguestlunch.disney.go.com/VerifyReservation.aspx

Thanks! I will try. I had been told I had to wait until I got papers mailed to me after we paid off the trip. I just did that and was waiting on papers.

I just tried entering an old ticket I have that I'm pretty sure still has at least one park visit left on it and it didn't work either. But the typing on it is kind of rubbing off so I am not 100% what the numbers are but I did try typing different options of what they could be (O or 0, kind of thing) but it still didn't work

I would call back and try again! Every CM is different and some are more helpful than others

THANK YOU! It worked

I didn't know you were building a house too. Wow you do have a lot on your plate. We almost got divorced when we did our house and it was a modular model house that just had to be moved. Well we had to finish the 2nd floor and paint and things like that, but it was so stressful.

Well, the best thing about Cass and I is that we're best friends and we know when to compromise with each other, so far I'd have to say that the house hasn't been the big stressor, mostly it's our daughter and her Lupus. Whatever happens, I know we'll make the best of it and I'm there to support my girls with whatever happens.
I just love them

YAY!!!

I totally agree with my hubby...

We are first and foremost best friends. Compromise is a huge part of marriage and after almost 15 years, we're experts at it I LOVE that we get to choose everything together and while it is a LOT of work, I look forward to the day where we can look around our new home and think back and say "Hey, I remember when we chose that!"

But I have to add that I have the best husband ever He has been wildly supportive, patient and so wonderful about everything. We've been working with the builder since April now and it's a long, tough process but it's been a fantastic, fun experience! It helps that we have the same taste in a lot of things and he knows that if I'm happy, he's happy

He's soooo smart!

awwwwwwwww!!

I say that every day Jill

Cass...I have to say, Skip and I agreed on some things, many thing, but when it came down to it he never wanted to spend money on the things even he liked. LOL
But the kicker was he wanted to make an area in the house where he could work on his pulling tractor....and he was serious!!!!
I put my foot down on that one. He has all these barns outside and there was no way I was having a tractor room.

 

[tow-mater-1]

Goodness gracious girl you've got a lot on your plate! Exciting... but man oh man stressful! When is your move in date?

 

[BusyBeesMom]

I'm all caught up! I hope your Lupus takes a break so you and your family are able to have the most fantastical trip ever! I can't wait to read more! Happy and safe travels.

 

[MomsOf2boys]

Hey Cass! I can't believe how grown up Kira is. we were on the Magic in 2007 with you all. I'm subbing. Better late than never.

Yeah, it's been a looooong six months but it will all be worth it next May

CASS!!! How in the world did I just find this?????? Oh, well, I'm just super happy that I did! It has been waaaay too long since I've read one of your most super awesome reports, so I'm so glad to "see" you again!

I'm so sorry to hear about all the trouble you've been having. Bless your heart. I sure hope that it gets better and that you're able to enjoy this vacation that you SO deserve!

I gotta tell you, I am so amazed at how much Kira has grown! She is still as precious as she has always been...just so much bigger!!

Congrats on building a new house...that is wonderful! I've never been through the process, but I can only imagine how hard picking everything is...but like you said I am so sure that it will totally be worth it in the end!

I'm so excited for you guys!

Farewell, Adios, Au Revoir!

This will be my last entry into my PRE trip report

That sucker started at about 450 days!

I just checked in for our flights and in about 23 hours we will be flying to Orlando

The house is so clean it almost makes me wanna stay!

KIDDING!!!

My ultra long list is down to just a few things left that need to be done today

I've got one last errand to run...get some groceries for my wonderful nephew who will be taking care of our doggie, Lilo and then I am packing up my fanny pack! Yup, I use a fanny pack on vacation Go ahead...roll your eyes, I don't care!

I know it's a 1990's fad and I bought this particular one back in 1999 on our first trip together but it works for me! I have a really hard time carrying anything on my shoulder or around my neck so the fanny pack is great for me! I only wear it on Disney vacations, so despite being 14 years old, it's in great shape!

I don't wear it at my belly button like most people used to back in the day, so I don't look too dorky

I've packed up and locked (zip ties) Kira's suitcase and as soon as Rob gets his drycleaning back, I will lock up the cruise bag. Rob and I are mostly packed, just last minute stuff to pack up in the morning.

My sister Deb will be picking us up at 7AM so it's early to bed for all of us as I will be up at 4 or 5am and getting Kira up at 6am.

She is VERY excited! She was thrilled that today was her last day of school for 2 weeks

She put her final sticker on her calendar this morning and was very happy

I checked the Orlando forecast this morning and it's looking nice and hot

I'm one of those weirdos who would prefer it to be cool and rainy the whole time

For my Canadian and British readers...

And...

For my American readers...

Then I checked Calgary's weather and it seems we are leaving at the perfect time!!! Yesterday's high was 20ºC (70F-ish) and Sunday's high is 4ºC (39F) with snow!!!

I don't think we could have timed that any more perfectly

Okay, well, that's it! Time to hit Safeway and cross off the last few things on my to-do list!

I will try my best to post some pics on my FB TA Page https://www.facebook.com/disneycass during the week I am at WDW but I won't be posting on the DIS until I get back and start my TRIP report

Thanks to everyone to followed along, replied and wished us well. We truly appreciate it and hope all those prayers and pixie dust works wonders for the next 15 days

Have a WONDERFUL, "it's not gonna suck" trip!!! I'll follow along on your facebook page, wishing I was there right along with ya! Safe travels and bon voyage!
