Very Merry D23 Holidaze Dec 2009 TR - 7 magical park days! updt 7/1

[MyMuse]

1) Ok, so I broke down and bought into Touring Plans. There is a code in the Mousesavers newsletter if anyone is interested. If you already have their book, it might be even less expensive.

So far, it is ok. I'm not sure about the crowd calendar, if a park isn't listed at all. Does that mean, it is good to go? Or not to go? I still got to check it all out and see what I get. I had some monies in PayPal, so I didn't have to dip into anything.

2) I also bought a subscription to NJ Professionals Society. We'll see how that goes, but it is not yearly, it is for life, so I guess that was worth it.

3) I also have several months left on Ride Max. If anyone needs a touring plan via Ride Max, just let me know. It's just sitting there.

4 & 5) I also joined Twitter, but it is confuzzles me. I'm trying to figure out Facebook too. I have to figure out whether to keep MySpace or not. It's been about a million years since I updated it. Y'know, this DIS stuff keeps me busy!

What's a Myspace? I joined the cult of Facebook about two months ago and haven't looked back. I occasionally check my Myspace for non-Facebook-ers updates and such... No Twitter for me, FB & DIS is enough

What an awesome experience to be there for the shooting of that video.
I almost bought into touring plans once, I can't remember why I cahnged my mind and didn't do it though.

I hear that there is a "Facebook Lite"? I have to check it out and see what the hoopla is about.

I joined Twitter when others on the board were tweeting on their Disney vaca. Then I broadened it to follow a few others...it turns out to be an interesting lot. And it was faster than setting up Facebook.

I had a good time. It'll be interesting to see what makes it in the video after 40-odd takes.

Touring Plans seems ok. I have to go back and check through it.

Ok, I think I officially hate airlines now.

I cannot find a decent deal for my flight to FL in December. AAAARRRGGHHHH!

Prices went up another $10 on both JetBlue and Continental. JB is actually *higher*.

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.


That is all.

 

[MyMuse]

Holy Buckets!

Today was the day for frustration!

1)
I just noticed the Wishes Dessert Party was extended into December. So, I rushed on the phone while at my desk at work (I NEVER do this), only to be sold my night was sold out.

Even the CM couldn't believe it. She kept on saying over and over "...this can't be right....we just got the memo yesterday!". She really did double-check everything ibncluding checking with her supervisor. I was on the phone for almost 15 minutes.

2)
And, I just noticed the new Holiday Lights tour, but it's only offered on Mondays and Wednesdays. I only have Friday free.

That totally stinks about the airlines and the dessert thingysomething will happen in your favor, I can feel it in my toes. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

I was pretty upset when I called yesterday and was told our day was also Sold Out (12/7) - But I was able to get our MVMCP night for the party. Maybe you and Marzi could go to the party as some special time together and let the rest of the group have a relaxing night in the hotel or at DTD... just a thought

I can't tell you how much I would love for that to happen, I will call Marzi this week and see what we can work out.

boooo about the flights and tour! keep checking flights. My jetBlue return flight actually just dropped $15 for my Sept trip. So they keep changing up until the very last minute.

How have I missed this thread for so long? I have some catching up to do...

Surprised that the Wishes dessert party is already sold out. Keep checking back; there might be a cancellation!

 

[MyMuse]

Just popped in for a sec....



It's only


75 Days Away!!! ​

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

WOO HOO!!!

 

[annnewjerz]

It's only


75 Days Away!!! ​

That most definitely deserves some serious celebration. I can't believe that all of us December-goers' trips are getting so close! It seems like just yesterday I was sitting here thinking about how to pass 6 months and now we're under 3.

You know what they say---time flies when you're obsessively planning ADRs, park hours, stalking people's TRs and reviewing the Crowd Calendar on a daily basis

If it does, it does. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I refuse to feel anything but super-happy at Disney!
I will try at 45 days, 30 days, 48 hrs and 24 hrs...or maybe I'll jsut drop the idea all together.

The top on my list is Spectromagic anyways. So, maybe I'll save $24 and stay on the ground with the peoples.

Same as my day! But I'm not going to MVMCP.

I'll be checking up on them again this week. Worst comes to worst, I can use miles, but I'd rather not on a $200-240 fare. I just can't believe it's so high right now.

Oh, the Wishes Dessert Party is majorly sold out. Ah well. maybe it is a blessing in disguise.

LOL!
Yup, that kinda where I'm at.

Do I see an "accidental" bump-in in the works?

LOL! Nah.

I have Friday night free, but that was reserved for my goddaughter and BFF, to see DTD and eat at Raglan Road and then to take in some resort decor.

I initally was not going since I was trying to budget, but my budget is flying out the window anyways.

 

[MyMuse]

Y'know, I haven't been on the DIS long, but it has changed in the last few months....


Formally, there are no more...

1) Photopass shares

2) Exchanging/trading ADRs


Both of these things were priceless! My trip in May for my niece's b-day were made extra special by the offer of ADRs. It makes me sad, that the DIs is becoming "corporate".

 

[disneyaddicted]

oh wow! I didn't even know those things exisited, it is sad that it is no longer out there. Do you know why these things were stopped?

I believe (and someone correct me if I am wrong) they stopped the CD share because too many people were "running rings." Someone would post a share, collect money from everyone interested and not share the goods

ADR Swaps have been canceled because Disney no longer allows these to be done
