I can report that Thomas made it to Disney just fine - we had lunch and ran into each other a couple times yesterday...

I think I may have gotten a little too crazy with my plans for this summer and I have been doing the math for quite some time and have decided that I just can't swing doing two cruises this year. However I am still going to go to WDW at the end of August.

 

[caitlinsdad]

All the best, we are going miss you on the Aug 15th Tortola Treasure seekers cruise

Money (or lackthereof) really gets in the way of having fun, doesn't it? I'm a little concerned about my own trips, but I figure the first is not for me, I'm taking my OLDER sister for her first flight EVER to go shopping for 2 days. I will not spend much, and then August is my trip!

At least you're still going on one cruise and going to WDW and got to go to DL too!

actually I drooped both cruises, however I did apply the money that I paid to Disney for them to a 5 day cruise on the Disney Wonder in 2010.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Oops! Sorry. Guess I didn't quite read properly.... And me a teacher at that! At least you now have a deposit made for your 2010 cruise! I keep telling myself that this will be my last trip for a while, I need to save my money/pay off debts and try to buy a home. But Disney is so much more fun! Who knows what will happen.

I am going to be at the world for free dinning and need some help for a restaurant choice I have given my TA a list of restaurants to book at my 90 day mark but I am still one short and would like some suggestions for someone travailing on their own.
My current list as follows:
Le Celiar
Kona (breakfast)
Boma (Breakfast)
Boma (dinner)
Tusker House (Breakfast)
Tusker House (Lunch or Dinner)

I guess I need to post a trip report for my Disneyland trip right. I am still thinking about how I am going to write it as a lot of it may involve some stuff that you may not get unless you are familiar with the craziness that is the DPN.

You may need to explain things... I'm looking at your comment and thinking "What's DPN?"

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

The DPN is a online forum for the podcasts and fans of the DPN (Disney Podcast Network).

OK so my trip began with me getting up at 4 am on the 29th of April. I finished my packing with the last minute items that I still needed for that day, like my razor. The last thing I packed was my laptop. My Dad drove me to the airport on his way to the airport. After checking in for my flight to Calgary and clearing airport security I was bound for the west coast.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

Once in Calgary I had to walk through the terminal and pick up my bag before preceding though US customs. I had a little bit of a wait at the baggage carousel, but was soon on my way. After clearing US customs I rechecked my bag for my flight to LA. The whether in Calgary was not very good for what I wearing that day but I didn't care as I was headed to Disneyland. Some pictures of my plane and the snowy peaks of the Rockies.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Yay! It's started! When I started reading, I forgot which report I was reading and I wondered why you had to go to Calgary on your way to MCO! I guess I missed the title! Silly me.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

Eventually I end up flying over LA, when I arrived at LAX i headed to baggage claim to pick up my bag and then headed out to get the Disneyland Express bus. After what seamed like forever I finally made it to the Disneyland hotel. When I checked in my room wasn't ready, plus I was running a little late for a lunch reservation.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

My first stop was to drop off my bags with bell services which is outside of the hotel. Then I headed out the back door of the hotel as that is the most direct route to the Disney parks from the Disneyland hotel. On my way I took a couple of pictures.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

I also took a picture of the entrance to DCA as it may not look the same when I see it next.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

To anyone still reading this don't worry I have not abandon this TR and it will be completed.
