hey just found your report from one of the Oct threads! looks like a great trip! and congrats on the new job!

we are going the same time- 14-22nd, staying at BLT (DVC).

for the KTTK tour- we did it in 2009 and my mom is visually impaired and tires easily from her meds (brain tumor left her with no pitutary gland). So we got her a wheelchair for the tour and I am glad we did. it was a LOT of walking. We did sit for a little towards the beginning and rode a few attractions, but it was a lot of walking. She wouldn't have managed without the wheelchair. We were able to go everywhere the tour did (even in the utilidors) with her chair, no problem. Definitely something to consider for dad!

We love CP too! we are doing breakfast there on Sunday, the day after you! Also love WCC- so fun and loud!

Thanks foer coming over, and thanks for the congrats!!

I think Dad would do fine without a wheelchair, he walks 4 miles a day, just not in the florida heat, and not a super fast pace. His concern would how the heat would effect him, and how fast they would be moving.

I think we are going to have to change our CP ressie as we won't be going down until Friday now, so we won't have our tickets until Saturday. Oh well.... just have to do it another day for sure!! We have never done WCC, but I think it would be a hoot!!

I'm in! Congrats on the job! And my opinion on the dining plan is we love it! We wouldn't go without it, even if we have to pay OOP. Even though there isn't that much of a savings, its freeing to be able to go and order what ever you want, not worry about the prices, and it's already paid for!

That's pretty much how I feel about it

Well... It is Official... DH and I are now with the times... We are now the proud and addicted owners of iphones!!!!!!! I have been wanting one for so long, and we went to upgrade our basic phones and the deal they worked was just too good to pass up!!! So now i need your help. What apps must i get, and do you have any tips or tricks for me??i

 

[teekathepony]

Same thing just happened to DH and I about a month ago! We got the 3gs because we're too cheap to pay for the 4g
Apps... I love my Disney countdown. I have a few different ride time guides too, including WDW Waits. I have Disney Maps and Universal maps.
Angry Birds.
I love my shopping list. I think it's just called "shopping list" Instagram is a neat one where you can put different filters over the pictures you've taken, makes them look pretty cool.
The obvious ones, Facebook, twitter, google+, youtube.
Allrecipes.com has a Dinner Spinner that's awesome. Urban Spoon is great too.
I don't know too many, I'm pretty new to the iWorld too

I have downloaded the shopping list, glass tower, skype facebook wait times and maps Disney radio and fitness pal. Do you know of a good place to get ringtones?

 

[teekathepony]

I'm on fitness pal too! teekathepony is my username if you want a friend

Ringtones... When I first got my phone I downloaded the theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly but I can't remember where I got it! Hmm, I'll have to go searching.

i am sure they'll stop and slow down as needed and just be sure to have water on you and you guys will do fine on the tour! WCC is a lot of fun!!! I highly recommend it!

yeah for iphones. I love mine. I got an iPhone 4 this year and love having the zoom on my camera and video option. I take a lot of photos and videos with it. especially at the parks. For apps I like:

• DISboards app (let's you get on the boards on your phone easily!)
• WDW secret
• Lines at disney
• WDW dining
• Disneyworld hidden mickeys
• WDW wits
• Days Until (countdown)
• Disney maps
• Live365 (music- lots of disney stations)
• Bump
• urbanspoon
• lightsaber
• wikipanion
• MY calendar (for tracking monthly um, female stuff!)
• check please (tip calculator)
• Shazam (hear a song you like on the radio? hit shazam and it will listen to the song, tell you what it is, the artist and give you the option to download it)

My son has a ton of games he loves on there- itsy bitsy spider, phineas and ferb, pooh puzzles and lots more!

I do think, Dad and DH are going to do the tour. DH is itching to do it, but he's not going to do it without Dad, so I def think Dad will do it if he thinks DH wants to. I will def look at those apps thanks for the help!!

I cannot believe how close we are getting and how much things have changed over the last several weeks for our schedule. I definetly need to hunker down and make some ressies... any suggestions?!?! Mom has requested Coral Reef, Biergarten, and Crystal Palace. Where else should we go? I'm debating on Crystal Palace before MNSSHP, or should we just do CS before?

 

[Parla]

We are doing the latest lunch available at CRT before the party. But we are going to be in the park all day. I know not everybody will have that option. I would just think to grab an early dinner somewhere. CP is always a good choice.

We aren't doing the parks before MNSSHP because we are only getting 4 day tickets, so our MNSSHP night will be our 5th day. We are planning on being at the gate a 4pm, so maybe a 4:15/4:30 ressie at CP?

 

[Parla]

Sounds good to me. Hopefully it's still available. That's the good thing about free dining missing us. Cost us more but your ADRs are more flexible.

Yea... Mom and Dad are not planners, so I'm having a hard time pinning them down for plan answers.

Hear ye.... Hear ye....
An announcement to bring joy and wide spread panic to all
Well at least to me​

I have finaly decided on a costume (AKA the joy), however, last night, I realized, I have just over a month to make it (aka the wide spread panic). Dh and I are going to go as not so original people from the 50's. I love love love love love love love poodle skirts, and I figured it wouldn't be too hot, and seriously, how much easier could DH's attire get, jeans and a black tshirt lol I haven't decided yet on a color for my skirt, what do ya'll think??

I have also made a resie for Kona Cafe before the party for a late lunch. I figure do a big late lunch, then maybe a snack while waiting for the parade? Do y'all think that will be doable? My ressie is at 2:40 allowing plenty time to get to MNSSHP right at 4 WOOT WOOT!!! I am still hopeing to catch a resie at CP, but I'm beginning to think, this will work out better so we don't have to spend party time eatting. I realize 4 isn't party time, but our party is the only park time we are having this day. I've also thought about watching out for a chef mickey's ressie, or should I just stick with Kona?

 

[teekathepony]

50's dress is always fun! I would go with a blue skirt, because blue is my favourite colour to wear hahaha.
I personally would stick with Kona (but my reasons are not valid, lol! I've just never been there.)
