[disneychic2]

Oh my gosh! I love those pics from the exhibit! What a genius Walt was. Makes me want to go and watch Saving Mr. Banks again.

Thanks for schooling me on the t's. Never heard that before. Hope you find them. If not, there's a place called Jiffy shirts that has all kinds of t's. You might have luck there. Hope so. I take it these are for the MM Club shirts?

I wanted to take them to the ice cream shop sadly the school kids RAMSACKED the place and we couldn't get near it.

[solana131]

Haha....that was great! I love the pics of us in the mirrors next to the princesses.
Yeah, I was looking for the animation academy drawings too. I wonder what happened to them. I know I hated mine, but I thought I kept them??? Hmmm....maybe Lex ate them. Or Stevie......

Whale watching....I will have to see how much time we have. If we decide to go to Acadia, it is definite. Around here....not so much. But I can show you lots of brook trout

[KatMark]

THANK GOD FOR MO!!!!

If it weren't for you, I'd have no idea what the exhibit looked like (there is just now way we will get there before it closes).

The pictures are spectacular and so much history.

Thanks for sharing.

How many days now?

 

[Chicago Mo]

So i was all for coming here and complaining about FP+ then i read Tess's report this morning.
And tear fell from my eyes. I was speechless. totally speechless. If you know me. Know this is quite a feat to render me speechless.

If you don't read her PTR please look at these two posts:

Meg Duffy Dress And Trick or Treat bags

are you kidding me??? Did you see those amazing made with love home made dress and trick or treat bags?!?! did you see her tee shirts?!? love the minions too.

can you image the look on my midgets faces when they see this??? Especially Meg?!?! i am never going to get that Duffy dress off of her. I am completely blown off my feet at the kindness of people. Such beautiful kind hearts. I love ya Tess thank you from my whole heart!

******************************************************​

Ya know what today meant for me? Besides a Brain fart? My little Dumbo magnet which i have at work proudly stating tomorrow is my FP+ and on-line check in day! I have been a good little planner checking what i can do with Fp and thinking the whole thing as well.. a pain in the ***.
figured i would go home today, sort it all out with Tom. then make them nice and early tomorrow.

Then....


Remember i added a day to the BEGINNING of the trip? Yes. well that would be TODAY IS MY 60 DAY MARK!!!
thankfully i check the MDE everyday to see how many days i had..
What's that? YES they did send me a brand spanking new dumbo magnet and why yes i hid that one.

Regardless i did make some FP+ selections and YES i did the on-line check in!!!

​

Frantically i made the FP+ selections. which i do believe for the Sept group is kinda... not necessary for several attractions. the tiers. really? Do i need to make a FP for:
Captain EO
Journey Into Imagination with Figment
Living with the Land
Mission:SPACE
Spaceship Earth
The Seas with Nemo & Friends
Turtle Talk with Crush

No... No i do not. the wait times for the above attractions in Sept are about 5 minutes.
BUT i WOULD LIKE FP for these:
IllumiNations; Reflections of Earth
Maelstrom
Meet Disney Pals at Epcot Character Spot
Soarin
Test Track

In bold... sadly i can only make ONE selection... until i use the other 2 somewhere...

Ummm Who's bright idea was making Maelstrom a Tier 1??

AAAAAAANNYYYYYY way... so i happily making some crazy FP+ like i know where i will be in a park at exactly 12:05..

Meeting break...

Back!
THEN I looked and noticed the FP was only for 4 people i had to go back and add MYSELF to the FP!!!!
thats when i figured out you can change times.

Ok Have to make this quick and finish when i get home.. Had a meeting just a few minutes ago..

 

[Denovagirl]

We got some major FEELS happening over here today! I did see Tess' post and the photos on FB of the beautiful things she made your munchkins! SOOOOOO sweet!! I just love it! Your kiddos are going to FLIP!! Squeee! So exciting!! I am so happy for them!

Onto FP... lol... well I was reading along the convo on FB until it apparently got deleted.. Some people, I tell ya... but I am right there with you, we have some FP+ for some weird things... oh well, what can ya do?

My question, since I dont know if it was answered before that convo was deleted, was, do you have to go in order of days or anything for FP+ or is it similar to ADR's where you can go schedule your highest priority and then skip around? I am not sure if skipping around is necessary?

I was glad to hear that the system was at least pretty easy to use! What a relief. Did you do it right at midnight?

Anyway, how fun you got another Dumbo magnet, I never got a new one after I added a day, how weird.. oh well. I won't forget!! It's all I can think about!

I LOVED all the photos from the museum you uploaded, looks like a great exhibit, so glad you got to enjoy that with such Disney-loving friends, a true blessing.

I'll check back later tonight to see if you get to finishing your update! Have a GREAT day!

 

[KatMark]

I saw the dress and bags on Tess' report. How very sweet of her! Your kids are going to flip.

I am NOT looking forward to doing our FP+ selection in two weeks. Mary did most of them for our girls trip (I got the Mine Train one when it opened up). But Mark and I are rather easy to please and if we don't get to something it's not the end of the world since we've been over 20 times to the parks. I do have to get the Mine Train for him...that's a definite.

I was finally able to get caught up. I will fill in why I have been MIA over on my PTR at some point this week, don't want to clog yours up with all my drama.

Those trick-or-treat bags are amazing! Awesome job, Tess!

I saw a couple of things I thought you and/or the kiddos might need when I was at the Disney outlet a couple of weeks ago - they had Halloween lanyards (I don't remember the price), a small Duffy in a pumpkin costume ($9.99, regularly $20), and a black headband with a big green, purple, and orange bow with a Minnie Mouse medallion ($4.99, regularly $12.95). I have pictures of all but the lanyards - I am almost out of memory on my phone and they didn't make the cut - let me know if anything sounds good

I must have D~'s red polka dot shirt! Please let me know where you got it, D~.

Looks like you guys had an amazing EPIC DISMEET! The Disney exhibit pictures are awesome.

Hopefully, I will now be able to stay caught up!

They were very cute. Your kiddos are going to love them and Tess must be a sweetheart.

They moved it as of June 16th.

See comments in Red. They moved Great Movie Ride at DHS to Tier 1 now. But, for Epcot, they moved Maelstrom and Character Spot to Tier 2 and Living with the Land to Tier 1 (according to Josh at easywdw).

PROMISE to get to replies tomorrow i want to finish my brain fart today and this whole FP+ fiasco.

it literally is the easiest thing to do... yet it took me over an hour.

when i first logged in and noticed i was able to do it i was at a loss..

so out came my little notebook of information... ya know park times, reservation times, where i will be, and crowd levels. see i did some planning!!!

and off i went grabbing FP like no ones business! the time slots i wasn't real happy with nor were the "options" you can pick but figured i would make it work somehow..
right?

Nope.. THEN i saw you can see the itinerary with all the FP and dining!. well GOOOOOOLLIE i can't have a FP a half hour into one of my ADR'S!!! what's wrong with you!!! way to go exlax!!!

THEN! i noticed they gave me a FP for the Electrical Parade and not the fantasy parade LIKE I PICKED! the 'options' they give you switched my parades!!!
What the WHAT?!? that is when i saw you can change them individually!!!
this is when i was a happy Dis'er and went on my way changing times and went a little bonkers. Changed back to the Fantasy parade.. then i saw how i only had 4 FP?!? HUH??? how did that happen... so off i went again to look and lo and behold I WAS NOT ON THE FP!?!? how is that even possible???
went back AGAIN and added myself.... ......... so.... when you are all happily making your FP selections make sure you pick what you want don't worry about the options and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL INVOLVED ON THE FP!!! you can always change the times of your FP+ on the itinerary tab...


GEESH! how did i screw that up??


Now that you all know I am the FP professional i can answer the questions you all have...


OH OH OH!!! then i have to explain the moron on facebook attacking me... i was laughing SO HARD at that person i was in tears!!! TEARS!!! which wasn't very good since i was going to my meeting!!! the nerve of people making me tear up on a tuesday when i have meetings all day!!! btw was the most mind numbing experience i lost brain cells and IQ levels...


time for me to hit the hay.. i am dead tired tonight.. I hope to make this more entertaining tomorrow. especially since D can't see the pictures i have to POST!!!

 

[DMGeurts]

OK, love the bags... Especially love the font she used for their names... And the bags themselves look awesomely cool!

I adore Megs dress too... Shell never take it off... Love every little detail about it! I am really starting to get a soft spot for Duffy... Whistle.

Jennifer... I purchased the red polka dot shirt at Herberger's (I think its just a MN dept store?) About 5 years ago... But I did get a cute navy with white dot one, same fabric, different cut... Chaps brand a Kohls, about 6 weeks ago... I know, its not the same, but its just as cute. IMO.

Glad you were able to get your fps figured out, uwet I had a much easier time once I figured out to to go in and change individual times... Didn't mess with ane though, I've heard if you mess with that one, it sometimes disappears later.

Still sucks that I can't see any of your pictures... I can't even see the ones I post in my own thread, thankfully I can see them on photo bucket before I post them.

Love you all, miss you all!

I wondered what happened to that convo on FB about the FP+. So it got deleted, huh? That one girl sounded so superior like no one should object to any part of FP+. At least I think it must have been her to get snarky. I missed the whole thing! I love to laugh over stuff like that! I'm guessing you won't be planning a M&G with her!

I'm glad you got your FP+ choices out of the way. Hope you are happy with all of them. When I did mine for Feb. I had a hard time keeping Dan on the selections. I had to keep going back and adding him each time. I hope that was just a glitch. Did you get Elsa and Anna? 7DMT? I'll jump over to FB and check it out there.

Also, if you are somewhere and it's not convenient to make it to one of your FP+ attractions, just go onto My Disney app and grab another time. This of course applies to the less popular ones. We did that over and over while we were there in Feb. Allows for a bit more flexibility!

Sorry you have to go to so many boring meetings. I know Dan has a hard time staying awake for the ones he's not running!

I saw the outfits Tess made. Totally adorable. All of them! Love the trick or treat bags too!!!! How do you receive a package and not have the kids see it?

Dumbo magnet? What Dumbo magnet? I didn't get no stinkin Dumbo magnet! What gives???

Terri: No, you don't have to go in order of your dates. If you want to jump to your MK day or any other day you totally can. And the fact that you can adjust the times later makes it really nice. When I adjusted times on mine, I thought it asked if I was sure I wanted to make the change before it released my old time for the new. That could have changed though. So many changes being made. Hard to keep up.

Have a great day at work, Mo, if that is even possible.
