I am hoping we get to try out that new fastpass system when we get there...

 

[crzyred]

Is the fast pass something they are just doing a trial of for a few weeks? I haven't heard of them doing this before.

No, Disney changed the policy & said they were going to enforce the end time a couple of months ago.

They started enforcing the FP return times on March 8th. They have been testing their new xPass/NextGen stuff this month. Guests have been receiving an email asking if they'd like to participate in the testing and some guests have been approached at ME check-in, entering the parks, etc. You get to choose a few FP's from a list and you receive a card which then has all of your chosen FP's on it. It sounds really cool and I'm always afraid I'm going to lose my little FP tickets. However, they do make nice additions to scrapbooks if you don't use them!

Here's a link to a story about the new FP card:

I will miss being able to go after the fp expires that was the best thing about fp.

Welcome back SHelly!! Can't wait to hear about your trip
Laura..hope you are feeling better...

Thank you! I'm feeling much better!

Hello Snowbirds!

Once again, I am SO far behind! I can't believe Shelly has gone on her trip and come back again already! We had family (DH's aunt and uncle) come visit and did some traveling with them. It was a nice visit but now I am so far behind on everything!

Laura, I'm so glad you're OK! Yikes!

So many Snowbird WDW trips coming up! How exciting! We did end up buying APs for DLP when we went last month, so we need to plan a return trip. Not sure that that will happen before July at the earliest, though.

Has anyone heard from Sarah lately? Hope all is well with her. I'd like to pick her brain about Baltic cruising. Has anyone else done one?

I hope everyone's home improvement projects are going smoothly. And happy Disney planning!

Thank you! I got a call on Monday, my car isn't a write off and they're going to be able to fully repair it! Apparently the damage looked much worse than it actually was. They had to throw away the car seats (obviously) but otherwise, it's going to be okay!

Shelly, very late but welcome back!

I'd like to wish all the Snowbirds Moms a Happy Mother's Day! We kids (hey, I'm still a kid at 25 ) appreciate all that you do for us. I hope you all have an amazing day!

Happy Mother's Day Snowbird friends!

 

[crzyred]

Happy Mother's Day to all you Snowbird Mommas!!

 

[Lil'Mermaid75]

Good morning Snowbird mommies! hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. It was fairly unproductive for me. The best kind of day ever. Got a nap in and just pretty much lounged around the rest of the day.

 

[PEANUT1]

Happy Mother's day snowbirds!! Hope you had a beautiful day

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

I hope you all had a wonderful Mothers Day yesterday!!!
I know I did! We went to church, went to lunch, then I went to bed!! Took a suuuuuper long nap,...then just hung around and watched tv!!! Got a few goodies from the fam and some sweet cards! It was a wonderful day!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Got my TR up and running today: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2926597 All are welcome!

 

[disneyshakeygirl]

I'm following your trip report!

 

[Monny2AE]

Saying hello from the construction zone! Our simple "let's rip up the carpet and install laminate" has snowballed to include replacing all the interior doors, trim and painting before we install the floors. I painted last night and am not sure I like the color. I want something more neutral while DH likes lots of color so we'll see how it goes!

I'm ready for another trip to DISNEY!!!!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Kim, I have lost track,...did he start the new job last week or the week before? I guess I should say the old , new job!! Going good? Those projects always seem to get bigger as they go- I think the mentality is "as long as stuff is torn up, lets get it over with"! Dont you?!
Well,.have had a crazy last two weeks..finish with an awards ceremony at my older sons High School tonight...next week they take a few finals and they are done!! I can not believe I have (almost) a JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL!! What the heck?!! How did that happen? My junior year and senior year are very vivid in my mind--not possible that I have a child there!!!
Lord, I sound like my grandparents!!

 

[MAGGIED]

Sorry... just had to post so I could see my ticker... ONE WEEK!!!!

Hi ladies!!

Life has been totally out of control over here. The current result at work is that we have a new boss and we're short two staff members for the foreseeable future.

And I think we have plans to go back to Disney. As in, Disney Fantasy next January. Hard to believe, but it was the same price as Oasis of the Seas with a better room, better balcony, and better itinerary (other than that, no reason to switch, huh?). Just waiting for my TA to finish up the booking process and then we're set!

I'm hip-deep in trip planning to deal with the work stress. I guess it keeps me out of trouble?
