Sept 22, 2013. A Pirate's Life on the Dream.

[Julianna07]

Just dawned on me - when I get into LA on Hawaiian I will have to pick up my luggage and THEN put the tags on for my Delta flight to MCO.....so I won't get to put it on right away.....would tell you to take a picture, I am that excited!

PS are you on FB - if so, did anyone ever respond to you about Canada? I find that very interesting that you would be the only ones....

We're Driving to Syracuse NY to fly south, So we get to put our Magical express tags on our suitcase first to get us to Animal Kingdom Lodge then the morning of the cruise we can take those off then add the DCL tags.

I'm on FB but not on our group page. I'll have to go back through the pages and find the link. But no one has responded at all. I am sure there are other Canadians on the cruise just not in this group. I'll have my flag for the sailaway party so friends at home can see me from the Port Canaveral Webcams.

Rental car - good idea or if u order fr someplace like garden grocer or kelly pds they can deliver one along with the rest of ur order.

Be sure u ask about the $15 refund since it is inconsistent whether it is an automatic post to ur account.

Ha Ha - I always go back and read leading up to the end and was re-reading this :: hope you all understood it to mean a cooler and not a fridge

 

[HiMagicFan]

Oh yes you must keep looking! I think times do open up! Good luck. So tell me you fly from Hawaii to La then LA to Orlando? Do you stop over in LA for any time? Are you flying Hawaiian airlines from Honululu to LA? We flew with them they were very good. Do you live on the big island?

I did good on my flights - in Jan the flts were $750 R/T to/fr in coach...thought I was smart and they were gonna go down so re-checked in June and OMG the flts were over $1,000 per person!!!

So I started doing some fenagleing (sp?) - and got it back down to $750 but we are doing First Class part of the way!!! Yahoo!!! and I am using miles....

So we fly from Honolulu to LA on Hawaiian (paid coach). 4 hour layouver then from LA to MCO on Delta - first class paid - red eye!

On the return we are doing American - first class miles and then returning home from LA on Hawaiian - coach miles.

I was VERY happy with this because I was able to get us First Class!

I live on Oahu and my sister lives on Kauai.

We are also at POR after the cruise. But it is then end of september so I hope it will be oke.

How cool - hope we see you around... we plan on staying from 9/26 until 10/4 (doing the MNSSHP on 9/27 and F"&W on 10/2 and TOT Expo on 10/4.

We then had to book an additional part 10/4-10/6 for the TOT because when I made the ressies I guessed wrong.

Since we will be there so long I am so hoping they will have the fridge situation fixed.

Also I heard they have added POR to the MB testing!!

PS we requested Acadian House in the Magnolia section....

How nice you are staying at the lodge! I gotta remember to remove the tags and add the DCL ones - thanks for the reminder!

I'm on FB but not on our group page. I'll have to go back through the pages and find the link. But no one has responded at all. I am sure there are other Canadians on the cruise just not in this group. I'll have my flag for the sailaway party so friends at home can see me from the Port Canaveral Webcams.

Sorry I don't remember where I saw it. Oh nice idea to bring your flag - okay I will bring our State flag (one for me and hopefully Pamai will fly hers - and then we can to each other.

Gotta tell my Mom to check the webcam for our departure - is it on the disney web site for her to link? that would be so funny! if she saw us...

Did anyone pick up Disney Infinity over the weekend???

If you're considering it, I highly recommend it! It's so much fun!

Anyway, if any other Disney Infinity owners want to get together on the cruise to trade Power Discs, I would definitely be up for organizing a trading event!

[HiMagicFan]

Thanks for the update

No word from those that may have been but never?

was kinda hoping some of them were dropping out so I could pare down my FE -

my box to ship is getting bigger and bigger!

 

[HiMagicFan]

For those of you staying at WDW after the cruise - are you getting to do FP+ and Magic Bands?

I got my FP+ going but for only from 9/21 and 9/26-9/30...as I understand it POR is testing til end of September.

I haven't gotten word on my MB yet but I think that is because I haven't done the online check in.

Was hoping to avoid that because of my split stay - and wanting to keep both stays in the same room.

Sure am spending a lot of time trying to figure out my FP+

and getting all these acronyms mixed up - FP+, PP+, ME and DME

nope not news yet!!

 

[HiMagicFan]

I am happy -

Oh so happy

I got my MBs done today!!!!!!

So I logged in - got the bands and found out I have TWO!!!!!

One for my Contemporary check in - orange for Pamai and red for Me!
One for my POR check in - green for Pamai and orange for Me!

Then I logged out......

 

[HiMagicFan]

Now I logged in again.....

and no ticket links for Pamai

I also tried to get my Be Our Guest lunch ressie - all gone

and I cannot retry for my other ressie so I guess I luck out and just chance it.

I am still trying to figure out how to get my ressie for parades and fireworks and such...will keep researching on DIS

Oh and my contemp band has 2 more days left and my POR band has 7.....

oh my, oh boy
it's getting closer!!!!

Oh dear! We haven't been invited to do the magicband for our trip. Not doing SSR I don't think or AKV. But great to hear you got it! We want to do BOG lunch. Have to join the line like the riff raff lol . Only 33 days till we board!

No they aren't doing SSR or AKV yet as far as I know...
they started with the value and then went to CR, Poly and GF if I am not mistaken. Then they added POR.

Boo for you tho - I can show you on the cruise so you can at least see it and feel it! I might even be wearing as a regular bracelet. Depends on how heavy they are -

We gotta shlepp the line at BOG - told Pamai if we go and we don't like the line we can just eat else where - I just wanna look and see mostly.

 

[HiMagicFan]

Soooo - how is everyone doing with their FE?
I am still working on putting my items together - making sure each cabin is covered. I need to prep the box soon to make sure it fits so that I can ship it.


Who is doing costumes?

I told Pamai we weren't doing costumes but I have neon nail polish and I just bought face paint - she says - for what?! I said our costume! OMG... and then I told her I still have to buy glitter for our hair and she said - oh my goodness......she still isn't into it yet as there is still so much happening at work for her....soon though! Sent her a video of POR and got her a little excited

We have also customized our magic bands for our trip after the cruise at POR. But got only FP+ for the first 3 days. I suppose that the other days become later. We didn't got an invitation to do it, but I read it on the POR tread on DIS. I had did my online check inn already so I could do it right away.
But I also can't make a BOG reservation on sept 27 or later. So I wait and see. Perhaps it will be later because I still can make one on sept 26, so don't think it will be full already.

I'm not ready yet with my FE gifts. I must make theme light weight because of baggage weight. Flying from Europe and can only bring 1 suitcase of 23 kg and 1 carry on per person. But we have 1 month to do it.
Sounds lovely to say only one month to go. I'm so ready for it.
