That really cracked me up because I was just checking out her ticker.

I refuse to change my march ticker...I am still going in March and staying CL, with or without him! I have to make a new one for September. I have made ONE ADR so far. The online sysytem is tedius to say the least.

Besides, this yoyo DH of mine is already crabbing about the one ADR I did make.

I went from day dreaming Disney planning to manic mode. Thankfully I am off work tomorrow...I hope to collect myself by then...and possibly make a ticker.

"Look for Dh, who will be the headless horseman this year"

By the sounds of your newest Disney adventure so far it sounds like he may be assuming the role before you ever make it to MNSSHP!

Good luck, BreezysMom. BTW, I made a few reservations with the online system one day and found it a bit cumbersome. Tried again a couple days later and I was much faster. Still not as fast as with an excellent CM but not bad at all.

Does anyone have any pictures or info about the Poly playground?
We were thinking of letting the kids "get their wiggles out" before O'Hana.

I do not believe there is a playground at the Poly.

This is interesting because we were there last week after the accident and I think it was either Friday or Saturday, they let a little boy and his father up front to ride.

I hope you are right as we will be there in a few days...

I have a few questions about the Poly 1 bedroom Princess suite with 2 queen beds...

How many 1 bedroom Princess suites are at the Poly?
How quickly do those rooms tend to book up?
and ALSO...are those rooms ever discounted? (such as 4/3 deal, can you use a code, am I better off going through a TA???)

Thanks so much!

What a bummer! I've been looking forward to that for months.
I hope they re-consider & change the policy before our Sept. trip.

Are there Photopass photographers at the Poly?

There was one in the lobby when we were there in April. Noticed him in the afternoons/evening on the bottom level near the back door. We had photos taken one night -- with no line/wait time.

 

[ckdsnynt]

Because we already had our next WDW vacation already confirmed, so that made leaving a lot easier.

You must be kin to us! We aren't even on the plane coming home when we are already planning the next trip! Hence, we became DVC members at BLT!

So he was there each nite..or just that one night? We purchased the pre-paid package and want to make sure we take advantage of it..
You are speaking of the great ceremonial house correct?

He was there every night that we walked in there (probably 4-5 nights of our 7 night stay). The other nights we stayed by the pool or took the boat to the MK, so I didn't go past him. I suspect it would be every night, though.

Yes, by lobby I meant the GCH, right by the stairs. You can have the nice waterfall garden in the background of the photos.

 

[BreezysMom]

In the past 18 hours I have come to a few conclusions...

dh is trying to drive me crazy...

trying to find a decent TS during free dining is a impossible after the 90 day mark and finally.....

THE POLY IPO ROCKS

Yes I did I upgraded back to CL and called the IPO office and they got us some great ADR's and are taking care of all the other details so I am done Plus, I get my CL back!

DD is pleased, I am beyond happy, DH is shaking his head

There is also a PhotoPass station on the 2nd floor of the GCH next to the pin station when you come off the Resort Monorail, so you don't need to check your photos at the parks or Dowtown Disney.
