Loved that video

My tickers seem to be gone...again. I'm not going to bother making new ones, I don't want to feel like I'm starting over. Is this a regular thing? I've had mine go bed 3 times in about 6 months.
Jessica- That so stinks, I hope your daughter feels better soon. You were supposed to be down the same time as me, you don't happen to have a character breakfast on the 21st?
I am so glad tomorrow is Friday, although this month is seriously sailing by!

I haven't done it, but I've watched a little. This is the schedule Steve Soares has up for the current week:
NP Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial
There are pirates among us! And they're looking to recruit. None other than Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate, Mack, is searching out brave souls who dream of a pirate's life. Can you swing a sword, sail the seas, and spot a cursed treasure before you plunder it? Maybe Captain Sparrow will even let you take the Pirate Oath and join his crew.
Daily at 10:15 & 11:20am, 12:25, 2:15, 3:20 & 4:25pm
Length of sets: 20 minutes

It's done in Adventureland next to POTC.

Thank you! I thought they had stopped doing this! We'll have to fit it into our pirate day

You might have seen it before, but we don't have cable or watch much tv so it was lovely for me to dream for a moment

I have not seen it either before, thanks for shareing it , tell DH he did good

Guess what I got in the mail today?

I got a Photopass card?! I never got one in the mail before. I was like I have a couple photopass cards. This one has the same design on it that the birthday one that we used last time. I am still bummed about that. We had a birthday photopass card that gave us 20% off our order. We activated our account and had 30 days. We got really busy towards the end of the 30 days and accidentally didn't get to the site in time to order our pics. Now they're gone forever!

The photopass letter says to Register this card before your trip to receive special offers and much more!! I'm going to register it RIGHT NOW!! I wonder what they'll offer me?

I got the same card. I registered it but I doubt that we will use it. And now that I am thinking about it, I don't recall getting any special offers. I got a welcome e-mail but there isn't anything special with it (just double-checked to be sure).

Seems like we should start doing a daily weather report! This one is from Accuweather, looks awesome!



Nov 1 Partly Sunny
77° Lo 59°
Nov 2 Mostly Sunny
77° Lo 63°
Nov 3 Partly Sunny
77° Lo 64°
Nov 4 Mostly Sunny
78° Lo 64°

Oooh, I like those numbers!

 

[pwdebbie]

i have a silly question im sure but we are driving so we wont get luggage tags or anything but will we still get some kind of Mickey Mail since we booked a package through Disney?? Just curious..Thanks

You will get Mickey Mail.

We are driving but got luggage tags.

Now, this is only if you book a package right? I've booked room-only and wasn't expecting to get anything. Booked packages in the past and did get the luggage tags and vouchers and such. But didn't get anything this time. I arrive 11/2.

 

[WAHkoMom]

Oh my GAWRSH! I've got 7 pages to read!

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

We are home from the hospital! Thank you for your well wishes! Hopefully my son can catch a break and we wont be spending any time in Fl in a hospital! They think the change in weather caused his issues, there was 8 other kids in with the same problem. Dang nj!! I really hope our vacation goes great my baby deserves it! He was such a trooper!

Leaving 2 weeks from today!!

New pins are coming in the mail any day now.

We're staying at the Swan, and our trip will only have 2 park days. But, we have a lot planned!

We're landing around 7:30 pm on Nov. 5th, and I want to first get a Thanksgiving sandwich-or two-at the Earl of Sandwich.

Then we'll drive over to Port Orleans Riverside and watch Yeehaw Bob, while enjoying a drink.

Check in at the Swan, and we're going only to Epcot on Nov. 6th and 7th. I want to sample as many Food and Wine Festival offerings as possible.

Mon. the 8th we'll check out, drive over to the Polynesian and have Tonga Toast for breakfast, maybe get a Dole whip too.

I would like to drive around Fort Wilderness and look at the holiday decorations, if any Halloween ones are still up.

We'll have to stop at Goofy's Candy Co. and get a few Mickey treats.

We'll go exploring Orlando a bit and to the airport in the evening!

 

[CajunMomof3]

We finally got our Mickey Mail!! That means I have to get serious about the pre-packing. 1 Rubbermaid is not enough for serious pre-packing...

 

[Mindy5767]

Hi.....new to the thread! We got our Mickey Mail today! We got a Photopass card that we can pre-register in our papers. I'm guessing this is something new Disney does? Anyway, if I register the card,will it expire 30 days from the time I register it or 30 days after the first picture is put on the card? TIA!

You can register the card at any time. The 30 day clock starts ticking when you first have photos taken on a card that is registered to your account. Then, when you get home (or within 30 days from when the first pic is taken) and you visit the site to view your photos, you then have 30 days to select, edit and order your photos. We started our 30 day clock when we got home, THEN, we got super busy and kept meaning to get to them, and we forgot, and they expired and were deleted from the account. However, my photopass cards, that are registered on my account, including my "classic" card, meaning an old photopass card that's been on my account for years, the birthday card, and the new card I got today, any of those. Once there are new photos attached to ANY of those cards, the 30 day clock will tick to view them, and then another 30 day clock to order them. You do not actually download them when you view them. If the $150 cost for the photo CD is too high for you, may I recommend buying a photo book for about $50 with all your favorite photos in it. That's what I was going to do before I missed my 30 day clock.

However, even though my photos from my August trip were deleted, my cards that I used are still registered, so I can reuse the same cards if I want.

Also note that they started allowing you to upload your ride photos (at least at Test Track) onto the photo pass card by scanning it when your photo comes up on the screen at the end of the ride. you can then redeem it through photo pass instead of having to buy the package at the ride store. I would have done that.

Sparkly>.. I am so glad your son is home from the hospital. Hope everything goes smoothly in Florida.

I think to get vouchers, coupons, and the like, you need to be on a package. I have never gotten these things with room only booking or with DVC booking, but I did get with a package.

I do. Ohana for a party of 4 at 8:05am. I am going to try to cancel these today. I have to take DD1 to school and DD2 to the dr. If they don't admit her, I will try to do it around 4ish today.

Have any of you been following this thread: "Pictures where kids hate the characters"? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2547660
I'm sitting here laughing helplessly on a night when I really, really need some laughter.

Just finished washing and ironing DGD's Alice dress that she's planning to wear to breakfast at 1900 Park Fare.

I'm just so amazed that we'll be leaving in only 24 DAYS! (seems like only a couple of weeks ago when it was months away)

Got ME tags awhile ago, and the rest of the Mickey Mail last week. Printed out all my ADR confirmation emails to bring with since two are still missing online, but the CM I spoke to was able to confirm all of them for me.

Oh my word!!! that is the funnies thread I have ever been to!!!!! Thanks for posting it!! That TINK!!!! how funny can you be?!!! Everyone in America should see those pics!! LOL...I was laughing out loud...hoping I didn't wake up the family!!!

Sorry about your trip. I've followed both you and Sheila on this thread and you and I were going to be up at the world at the same time.

I hope things work out for you. And I don't get to have your reservations .. but....

I did just send a PM to you regarding your Tusker House as we currently have 10:10 and would love to grab it if you haven't already cancelled it. And Le Cellier as well. if you don't already have some one in line waiting ....

Thanks.

 

[cyndiloveswalt]

Jessica- I may try for your ohana res, I'll start checking after 4 and maybe post again to see. Good luck with your daughter.

 

[Px4]

Hey Guys! I have time to do it now. DDs dr called and she is going to see us in her office this afternoon instead of another ER trip. It will be much quicker since we have to go to for x-rays only.

I am on hold to cancel now. I won't post it over on the canceled thread until later so you guys have first choice. Good Luck guys, I hope you can benefit from our misfortune! Nothing would make me happier then to atleast be able to spread some magic....
