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

[Marlynmik]

Jolene, yeah these ladies (at least I think the chatty ones are all ladies) really like to talk LOL I have to check in twice a day just to keep up to this thread alone!

Amy that's a great rate for flights!!!

We'll be at AK on V-day (which apparently is the park to avoid) but because of all the other activities/shows that we have planned, it only makes sense since we don't have park hoppers. And they have morning EMH that day so since the park closes early, it'll maximize our time there. We don't have any TS credits left for a nice sit-down dinner so we'll have to pick a nice quickie or go OOP at Cali Grill or Tusker House. . .

And believe it or not, I managed to get a bulging disc in my neck from all my Disney research on the computer! Horrible pain, but I'm recovering I can back off now that I've booked my package and ADRs!

ETA: Ok I just booked Tusker House at 5:00pm on V-day

I'm just waiting for my mom to call me and tell me we're booked! (She's a travel agent). Then I'll get our airline tickets.

Going February 12-17 staying at POP. We decided not to upgrade the dining plan so will just have QSDP and will be paying out of pocket for CRT. I know we would only spend a few bucks more to upgrade but my husband (and me) really don't want to think about our meals, etc 5.5 months out so we're just going with what's free. It's free, right?

We're doing 6 day park tickets but no hoppers.

I do want to see Fantasmic but don't think we want to pay that much to get the dinner package so will just hope the wait in line isn't too long.

Well, shoot... I tried to make a ressie at Ohana for the 15th, and there is nothing at all available. I'll keep checking -- people cancel all the time.

Howdy to all the folks who have joined recently! This is such a fun and talkative bunch!!

Gotta get back to work now... and swim around in my coffee a bit more.

Awesome Beth!!!

Gina- I am sending you a PM right now

 

[DisneyFirstTimer10]

Hey all-

Does anyone do Photopass? We did a share with my sister last trip and it worked awesome (and saved us $50) If anyone is interested in a photopass share let me know!!!

 

[Gina]

Thanks to Allison, I got our Ohana ressie for the 15th all set! Had no clue that you had to put it for 3 people instead of 2 for it to take it... That's nuts. But I'm happy it worked.

 

[Marlynmik]

Nice ticker Beth!

Allison, how would a photopass share work? I've been looking at doing it, from what I hear it's risk-free so if you don't like the pics, you can get a refund. We're really not picture-takers since I hate lugging around my camera. I actually use my BlackBerry for almost all my pics now

 

[Gina]

Photopass shares aren't allowed on the DIS boards. But I'm going to try to set up a WDW-February-2011 group on Facebook for us (hopefully by this weekend) or a Yahoo group, and we can talk about this kind of thing there.

Does anyone know if you book your package through a travel agent and she gives me the confirmation number, can I look up that reservation online?

Thanks about the ticker! I'm sure I'll change it a million times until I like it just right.

 

[BethR9]

And when do I stop earning my ears? I want the next level!

 

[Marlynmik]

Beth, I've been trying to add my TA booked reservation to the Disney site using the conf# and it's not working. And FYI if you go into into your User CP you can change the message under your username to whatever you want

 

[BethR9]

Lynne,

so you're having the same problem? I wonder if you can't add a confirmation # when a TA books it.

Oh, and I know I can change it on my own but want the Disboards to do it. I'm not creative and don't know what I'd change it to!

 

[IheartAriel]

Unfortunatly if you book with a TA they are the only ones that can make changes/additions etc. to your reservation.

 

[BethR9]

So does that mean I can't even look at my reservation? If so, that stinks and I am NOT happy about that at all. I like to have some control.

 

[lamb616]

Nope, I don't think you can access it at all unless you booked directly with Disney

 

[BethR9]

Anyone want to give me feedback on our park schedule? This is for February 12-17.

Saturday (arrival day; flight lands in the AM): MK
Sunday: DHS
Monday: Epcot
Tuesday: MK
Wednesday: AK
Thursday: MK (departure day; flights leaves in the evening)

Anything I should change about it?

 

[lamb616]

TGM has DHS on Sunday as "Avoid". Maybe you should swap DHS for MK on Tuesday? Then everything is green.
