I almost forgot.........I bought our Pirate & Princess party tickets today!
I can't wait! I ordere Bailie an Elixabeth Swan dress & Hunter & Ethan, Captain Jack costumes!
I would love to dress up, but I'm afraid I'd be the only adult and I don't want to feel stupid.

I'm a fan of the dining plan also. It's so nice to know everything is prepaid and you can order whatever you want.

Oh and I LOV E the Passporter! It's such a great guidebook.

And congrats on P&PP tickets!!!!

I started filling mine in too. And the pockets are great. I was just finding stuff related to Disney that I could stuff in them

I gave into the pressure.......................I've seen alot of dissers talk about this must have item and my curiosity got the best of me. Last night while I was killing time during soccer practice I went to the book store. My theory was, if they have it then it's meant to be mine. It was and now is!

Now I just need a couple of hours or days to read it cover to cover and fill in all my info!

I love that book.

When we went to the p&p party there were adults dressed up. I also saw a teenage girl with a Elizabeth Swan costume taking a picture with her arms crossed in rebellion at the front of the park If you want to dress up do it. It will be a wonderful memory for your kids and it would be fun. You sure seem like a fun mom to me. I can't wait to read your trip report I know it will be fun.

I love Passporter I have an old 2005 one and I plan to get a 2009 for next year I think they'll be out later this year, so it's going on my Xmas list. DD finally fixed my computor thank goodness I was having withdrawl symptoms !!

I was mostly concerned about the tip not being included. I thinking it's going to be another 300 just for tips! And since we're a party of 6 we really don't get a say in how much we tip, if we get crappy service.

they don't give u the optional part. I thought that just printed on everyones check.

I wouldn't be suprised if Bailie gets the same attitude about the dress, but I have no problems blackmailing her into it!

That's what I'm afraid of! I don't want to end up on someone's tr with the caption "what was she thinking"!

I was wondering where you were!

My understanding is that parties of 6 or more automaticaly are charged 18%.

That's a good idea!

It's good to be a geek!

Yay for the passporter and the PPP tickets!! I still don't have a passporter. I'd love to check those out.

I think the DP is so much easier too. One less thing you have to budget during your trip.

 

[carrieannie]

That is a awsome smiley!!! may I steal it?

I have the passport from 06. I kinda liked it. never quite "got it" though, I guess I was happy with my scrap paper for notes and hunting for Res numbers. That is a great picture of you Cherie!
And I vote that you will "spill the beans" this weekend at your Moms.

There were LOTS of adults dressed up when we went -- I wouldn't worry about it! If you want to, do it!

When I originanly booked our package I got the ddp. Then after thinking about it for awhile, ok so I read every stinkin thing I could find on the dis about the new plan, I decided we weren't saving much and I had it taken off. Well, as of today and $1400 bucks later, I'm the proud owner of the ddp! I decided I like have everything paid for before hand and not having to look at the prices on the menu or cringe when Evan orders the 16oz steak!

I am still in slight shock from the price. $1400 is my food budget for 3 and a half months! I'm paying 200 a day just for food! But, it is Disney food and therefore better than everyday food, so worth the price. Right?

I have thought about just eating cs with maybe 1 table service to cut the cost, but one of the things the kids really loved was being able to order whatever they wanted and eat at nice restraunts that don't have a drive-thru. Yes, that's my family's definition of a nice restrant, anyone that doesn't have a drive-thru!

I think the DDP is definitely worth it! I really missed it this past week because with the DDP you don't have to think about what you are ordering. I haven't added up what we spent on food for three nights, but I know it was a LOT. I think you made a good decision!

 

[carissanboys]

There were definitely a lot of adults dressed up when we went to the P & P Party. If you don't want to go all out, you can do like I did and just wear a tiara

 

[winkers]

It's good to know I wouldn't be alone if I did dress up!

In about 30 minutes I'm packing the kids into the mini van and we're heading to Utah. It's about an 11 hour drive............Yes, I'm insane! D.Jay is staying home, lucky him!

I am bringing the laptop with me so that I don't go through withdrawls.
