20 at CM, and I thought making ADR's for 9 of us is difficult. Speaking of which, just one more month and I can make my ADR's and the complete the rest of my itinerary. I can hardly wait!!!!!!

Yeah I was very surprised that she was able to pull off a large number like she did! So next month you'll be at your 180 mark? You must be soo excited!

So anything back from the IRS yet, are you in the clear????

Getting all the ADRs done is a milestone in trip planning. I just love the planning and then once I make the ADRs I feel like the trip is coming soon. Sometimes though I go back and make some changes but at least you have something to fall back on.

Still nothing from the IRS everyday I wait for the mail just hoping I will hear something!
My favorite part of trip planning is right around the corner, the park hours should be out at the end of April/ beginning of May. Then I have until May 12th to get my itinerary perfected, so I can make ADR's. That period of time is almost as exciting to me as the week leading up to the trip. Everyone says I am an over planner, that is until they go and see the pay off. It amazes me how smooth and seamless our trips have been. Knock-on-wood!!!!!!
Hey, I have a couple of questions that maybe one of you can help me with. I was going over must do's in each park and I came across a few things in AK we have never done, Pangani Forest Exploration Trails & Maharajah Jungle Trail. If anyone has done these, how long do they take? Is it worth the time? Rafiki's Planet watch, would you consider the train ride an attraction in and of itself? Are the attractions up there any good? Any help would be great!

 

[wmjivey]

Chickie, the Pangani can easily be missed it nothing really exciting but it can get overcrowed very fast and I don't like the temptation of becoming a pickpocket again. if time is a factor don't even consider it. The other is a nice zoo walk and can be use it yall become overstressed from the crowds. Nice animals you don't see everyday. AK is my favorite park so if need more info let me know.

[thptrek]

I would agree with John. If your really love animals I would include these otherwise they are skippable. I think these two attractions are the most "zoo" attractions at AK.

Hello! Are all of us still here? I guess if I am, then all of you would be, also.

 

[wic0721]

I'm still here!

I was wondering the same thing?

 

[Cruz Family]

I guess we will skip them for this trip (seeing that we will be with a group of newbies and there will be plenty of other things to do). Any feelings on Rafikis Planet Watch?
Hey check this out..... Jet Blue came out with their prices for November Friday afternoon. I booked round trip tickets for 9 of us @ $344 per person. Sunday I went and took a peak and the same tickets were $120 more. Now the are up to $584! Boy am I glad I booked when I did!

What are you trying to say here T&B???

Are you trying to tell us you're a troublemaker???

There are some threads that are getting quite heated right now over these bannings!

So Cruz, you and I are safe...where's everyone else????

 

[Tigger&Belle]

Me a troublemaker? Never. Of course it's my innuendo that usually gets me into trouble and this isn't an innuendoey kind of thing. Lots of my friends are gone, though, which is hard to see.

 

[Cruz Family]

What are you guys talking about, I am completely lost! But, what else is new?

 

[wic0721]

What are you guys talking about, I am completely lost! But, what else is new?

From what I've been told, all heck broke loose last week, and a boat load of people got banned from the DIS because they have posted on other websites. T & B can probably tell you more about it!

But we're still here!

 

[Cruz Family]

I don't know if you guys have heard but Pete posted this afternoon that Bob Varley had passed away. I can't believe it! I am just sitting here crying my eyes out. Bob just answered one of my questions on the podcast a couple of weeks ago and told me if I needed anymore help to just let him know. What a great guy, and such a terrible loss.

 

[thptrek]

That is really sad.

 

[Cruz Family]

Hey, where is everyone at?

I really need some commando support right now.
Hello!!!!!

 

[tlinus]

I'm here Chickie!!!

What's going on???

 

[Cruz Family]

I'm here Chickie!!!

What's going on???

Great smiliey!!!1

Well, I had a little accident and I have to stay off my feet for at least a few days. I'm going insane!!!!!
How is everything on your end? Oh, with all this time on my hands, I decided to pick up some of those $81 US/IOA week long passes. Just figured I would mention it, knowing how much you guys love it there.

 

[thptrek]

As you all know, I've never been over to US/IOA. When they build the Harry Potter world maybe that will get me over there.

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I'm still here...amazing.

Sorry about your accident, Cruz. Are you going to be home in a few weeks? If so we need to schedule a mini-meet with wic. I'm going to be in Boston for a couple days.
