Ok, I had a near death moment. I was on the way to the camera store talking on the cell phone to my DW. I ask her if I could get a new "toy" she said OK. So I got a new Canon T3i, Canon 430EX II, Adobe Photoshop and 60mm lens. Later that day........ she ask me what did you get? So I told her. I am glad the dog house has power and great WiFi.

2) been on each and every ride at Disney at least once? (doesn't have to be in one trip) We have never done ToT or Ellen. I'm pretty sure we have ridden everything else at least once. Plan on getting ToT out of the way this trip.

3) seen every show at Disney at least once? (doesnt have to be in one trip) We have lots of shows to see and we plan on doing that this trip as well. We haven't done FoTLK, Nemo, The Castle Show or any of the movies in Epcot - except Norway

WOW!!! That's a nice one, congrats! I think a little time in the doghouse is well worth that, even if you had to use an oil lamp and smoke signals

Heck I was happy to get upgraded from my 2003 Kodak point and shoot to my new Panasonic Lumix-it is SWEET though. I love looking at great photography and one of these days I hope to venture beyond the point and shoot realm.

Are you on the free counter service plan while staying at a moderate resort? I believe that if you stay at a Moderate on free dining, like what I am doing, you get the free regular dining plan, not the counter service one. The other is for the value resorts. I could be wrong if you are booked for something different, but you may want to check on this. It's in my paper work & we have done this a few times.

With Regular dining you get one quick service meal, one snack & one table service meal per person, per day.

 

[turtlebean]

On this trip will you...

See Wishes?Yes
See Illuminations? Yes

4) go to all 4 parks?Yes

5) do rope drop? (Where?)Yes, we are definitely doing DHS on the last day of SWW and also another day that week. So far that's the only ones we have planned. Probably MK too since we have breakfast scheduled one day there.

6) do AM EMH?Don't have any planned yet, but will probably try to do atleast 1 or 2

7) do PM EMH?Yes, we are planning on closing down MK our last night there.


Have you....

1) ever taken a ride in the front of the monorail (when it was still allowed)?Yes and I have my monorail drivers licensce to prove it!


2) been on each and every ride at Disney at least once? (doesn't have to be in one trip)no

3) seen every show at Disney at least once? (doesnt have to be in one trip)no


4) found a paint brush on Tom Sawyer's Island?no

6) ever cooked a disney recipe at home?no

7) ever been surprised with a Disney trip?no


8) made a spreadsheet/binder/etc with all your plans, ADRS, and such?of course, the planner in me wouldn't allow it any other way.

The PIN that went out in March and April was free QS at values and moderates and free DDP at deluded. That's the one I'm booked on but we paid the difference to upgrade to regular DDP.

The PIN that went out in March and April was free QS at values and moderates and free DDP at deluded. That's the one I'm booked on but we paid the difference to upgrade to regular DDP.

I have never seen that offer. I am booked for May 28th - June 5th on at POR, a moderate resort & we have the free regular dining plan. I just got my paper work out to double check. I didn't pay a difference here so I thought they may want to double check.

I know that at the value resorts you can pay the difference to upgrade to the regular dining plan. I could even upgrade mine to deluxe, but that's to much food, and to much time away from the parks. IMO.
