Things I would never have done without the DIS

[Funball]

Ok this person may kill me for this

But if it wasn’t for the dis I would have never met my special someone from here, and he is so close and dear to my heart that words cannot expres..sorry I can’t see the keyboard between my happy tears,thank god i got waterproof everything today.. so like iwas saying i can’t express the words and the feelings that I got going on in my heart….. He is my ying to my yang…(sorry can't see keyboard) and we got so much in common it’s scary. And you know what he takes my heart away, and touches me emotionally in my heart and soul that has never happened before. and i would never be able to say this to his face i be to much of a emotion wreck of happy tears.. And these emotions are just soo freakin gorgeous..

Hey aleask,

Just wanted to say "Hi!" I'm from Bend, too!

It's a small world after all...

I met somone spectacular though the DIS and patiently await spending our first day in the parks with her.

"Without the Dis, it never would have occurred to me to purchase a 10-day non-expiring ticket with Water Park Fun & More options one year and use that ticket to get into water parks for many years. We would have continued to purchase a Premium Annual Pass every year to get the water parks."


Can someone explain this?

If you buy a 10 day non-expiring with WP&M, you have 10 days to enter the parks AND 10 entries to water parks/Disney Quest/Oak Trail golf course. Those entries can be used over however many years you like. So you can do 1 water park per year for 10 years, rather than buying an Premium Annual Pass that expires within a year.

never would have known about the Beverly...maybe i would have been better off NOT knowing!

If I had never joined the Dis boards I wouldn't look like a maniac taking pictures of my food at every restaurant!

I kid I kid.

But in all seriousness, this board has been such a huge help to me. It has helped me plan my days, realize the necessity of ADRS (and how of a PITB they can be to make), make good use of my snacks, pick restaurants, and so much more. I'm grateful to all the help I've received.

Not sure if these have been mentioned yet:

Without the DIS, I wouldn't have known:

• How awesome the Breathless boat is!
• The best place to get engaged is in the rose garden at MK watching the fireworks
• At Epcot (Innoventions) in the afternoon you can get a free 5 x 7 photo with characters if you have a Disney Visa (get there early!)
• Been able to ride a Segway for free! (right next to the photo place in Innoventions)
• Been part of the VELCRO show (same Innoventions location) - this was a blast!
• The awesome views from the hot air balloon at DTD
• The incredible food (CS) at WPE in DTD

This is amazing! You are very lucky to have found such a special person and have found love!

• Booking travel days 1 day before and 1 day after resort stay so we can maximize our park tickets, and save on resort/package costs
• Know that by going back to the airport from the off-site hotel, we can take the DME to the Disney resort to start our stay there
• Know that we can use the club level on the day we check out, and that the resort will store our luggage until we return to retrieve it later that day or night
• Pick a pearl in Japan, and what time the henna artist is in Morocco
• Fast passes, and noticing what time we can get another FP on the FP tickets
• It pays to wait for codes or new offers to come out and the DIS usually knows when that will happen
• When someone on the DIS says prepare for rain, they aren't kidding

Thanks! I took a lot to write it,

If it weren't for the dis I would have been lost on our first trip, because I learned so many, many things...

-making ADRs asap
-sending my kid on a Pirate Cruise
-the ins and outs of how DVC works
-the finer points of how Fast Pass & Child Swaps work
-the cool photopass pics where they stick in characters
-ordering a special cake for my daughter's birthday

and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Never would have reserved the Wishes Dessert party for this December! Can't wait!

do u mean you can use the club level even if you didnt stay on the club level??

I'd never have known about the 'hidden' EPCOT museum with all the history of EPCOT. I love EPCOT so this was such a great find!!

Could you please tell me where this hidden museum is? Thanks

 

[flamingglobessigmund]

No, you would have to have stayed on the club level.

From what I have read on the DIS, the club level KTTW will access the lounge up until they close, on the day of check out. Once we check out, we can't go back to our club level room, but we can use the lounge.

Sorry I wasn't clear about that. We're staying club level in January at AKL.

OK, I've never heard of this one. Can you tell me? Thanks.

Seconding this request...EPCOT is my favorite park; I would love to check this out!

Things I've learned:

1. What a bounceback offer is and to book one should I be so lucky to get one in my room
2. If there's no bounceback offer in my room, to ask housekeeping
3. About the pure insanity of getting FastPasses for TSM as well as having to be there for rope drop if we want to ride more than twice
4. The hard ticket parties (MVMP & MNSSHP)
5. That you can use your fast passes after the time printed on the ticket but not before
6. To constantly check on-line for ressies you couldn't originally get (most of the time you'll luck out and be able to get last minute ressies from others that cancel
7. To let the little ones nap mid-day
8. Questions to ask the characters to get them to be more interactive
9. How to generate a pin code

Where on line do you check for Ressies?
How can I obtain a pin code?
Cheers
6 days till we go
