The *Official* February 2011 Thread - Happy Dance Time...The Park Hours Are Out!

[lamb616]

Got my mickey mail today!! I wasn't expecting it this early. But now, should I be getting 2 mailings since we have 2 different ressies? First is a room-only ressie which has our DME arrival info and then we switch to our package and that ressie has our departure info. This mailing makes no mention of our departure date.

Also got my T-Rex Cafe gift card that I ordered from MyPoints! That was the only big meal that's not covered by the Dining Plan so I was so excited to see the gift cards on My POints.

Woot!! Got ALL my Mickey mail at once today!!!
*Love* the new luggage tags -- the castle is all 3d-looking on these. Time to take the old ones off!

The trip always feels so real and so SOON when the Mickey mail comes!!

 

[DiSnEyLvR76]

thank you for the wishes! and yeayyy to you guys for getting your mickey mail!!! always puts a smile on my face!!

I hope you don't think we're ignoring you... it's just that I don't think any of us want to get in trouble with either the DIS boards and Touring Plans by giving out that info when it's against the rules of both. But you can check www.easywdw.com and look at their crowd calendar. I have no idea how accurate it is, but that should help you ballpark it at least!

Thanks for responding, Gina

I didn't worry abour being ignored I thought it was OK to ask the questions about the crowd calendar as it had been publically posted on their website but I don't want to get anyone in trouble here

Anyway, not to worry, I pretty much have my days organized, but was curious as to what their predictions were.

I use TourGuide Mike for my planning, so I think I'll be OK

I will check out the website you've suggested

Thanks again

No Mickey mail for me this time around - we're staying at the "off site" timeshare - but I did hit the 30 day mark!!!
It'll be an awesome trip - it's just me and my DD7 (Becky - who will turn 8 while we're there) and my friend Christine and her DD7 - Nora. They have never been to Disney before! I cannot wait to show them everything! They are early risers and positive people and Becky and Nora are good friends!
It's just going to be awesome!

 

[lilmape]

17 days!

Getting close enough to taste!! Can't believe that we are coming up on the 2 week mark!

DH is starting to aggravate me. First of all -- he is an extreme NON-planner. He doesn't want to know anything about any of our vacations ahead of time -- just wake him up on the day we leave and tell him which way to go. That's the way he likes it. So I haven't been able to talk about everything with him but I figure now we're getting close, I'm going to force him to listen, lol. So every time I bring something up (parks, ADRs, etc.) he says the same thing -- "Don't forget -- this is a VACATION, you know, to rest and relax.......". Uh, sorry, Pal. There is no "rest" or "relaxation" at WDW! Esp. when you have a 3 and 7 year old!!!!!" Ugh! So annoying. I told him he could rest and relax starting at 8 p.m. every night, but the days are mine, lol.

J J Hall- what are your dates again at Pop?

FOR POP CENTURY GUESTS in mid to late February:
I am part of a fridge swap at pop- where people staying at pop pass off a dorm sized fridge FOR FREE to other resort guests so you don't need to pay for one. To summarize, the person staying before you will either meet up with you to give you the fridge, or leave it in a box with POP guest services for you to pick up. You would then be free to use the fridge in your room, box it up for the next person in line when your turn is up, and deliver it to them, or guest services. This particular swap has been going on for some time and has openings from Feb 11th- rest of Febraury
If anyone is interested-let me know asap

My DH was like yours, but I solved the problem....... I don't go with him anymore!

I'm going with my Disney buddy, my DS(19) who is as crazy about Disney as I am

I just noticed my ticker shows It's under 2 weeks to my trip I'd better start packing

 

[srauchbauer]

hurray we got our Mickey mail but it was wrong the luggage tags were for POO instead of Sports. UMMM maybe DH upgraded us - no the correct tags were in a different envelope. Don't care where I stay as long as I am at Disney

J J Hall- what are your dates again at Pop?

We stayed at POP in December, actually. This time we will be at WL from Feb 4 thru Feb 13. If we were doing POP this time, I would definitely take advantage of the swap! It was different not having the fridge in our room. I will take advantage of that next December when we go.

Thanks!

I will be there from the 12th to the 16th and can really use this as I have a 1 year old on milk.

I have been home sick for the last two days... well, I guess better be sick now than on the trip, right?

Less than two weeks before we are back in WDW! WOOHOO!
