Yo ho, yo ho, a bounceback life for me LEAVING TOMORROW 9/12!!!!!!!!!!!

HI! Welcome back :goodvibes I know you all had a wonderful time ~ wet, but wonderful :goodvibes

I'm headed over to your TR now, can't wait to read all about it!!!

 
I have been very, very busy today with all of my Disney planning. :surfweb:

I took a break from my TR and decided to get movin' on additional planning for September.:coffee:

I called Disney today to get details on all of their cruises. :wizard: I want to be prepared so that I can just call on the 90th day and get it set up fast. I am calling to do the tour first then I will call and do the dining. I am just hoping that I will not lose too much time while scheduling the tour and then get closed out of some of our dining choices.:scared1:

FIrst I called dining to find out if Kouzzina has an opening date yet. She said that so far, no, but it should be some time in the fall. I really want to go there and check it out.:)

While I had her on the phone I asked why there is a new option if you are making CM or CRT ressies. She said that so far these two places have not been switched into the new dining system so if you need these ressies you have to be sure to press whatever it is they tell you to press during the recording. :confused3

I also asked her what, in her opinion, are the three hardest ressies to get right now. She shocked me with Chef Mickey's.:scared1: She also said the obvious CRT and Le Cellier. I asked her if she thought that free dining would make it even harder and she said that it would for sure. :headache: She said that while people do cancel, free dining means longer waits on hold, etc. I am a bit freaked aobut it but what can I do?:confused3

I then called and talked to a really wonderful CM about the Wishes cruises. I told him that I want to surprise my husband:lovestruc for our anniversary but that I wanted to get every option down before I call back on the right day. I am going with a 10 person pontoon boat at $319 which includes tax. :eek:

I asked about having a cake delivered from GF Bakery. I told him that I read that you have to eat there for them to even deliver anything and he said that if we get the GF dock that they would deliver it to the boat. He said that when we book they will give me the number for the GF Bakery and catering so I can schedule all that. I figure that if I can't get it delivered there or if it costs an arm and a leg to do so, I will just get the cake at dinner and then tell him then that we are going on a Wishes Cruise right after dinner. :woohoo: I just hope that I can get the ADR at a good time too so we can go from one place to the other, especially if I am hauling around a cake. :laughing: and the cake that I want, to boot!

I have also spent the last couple of hours working on the mother of all spreadsheets. It outlines a ton of information for me including where we are going on what day, what meals are oop and what are on the plan and for those oop, what is the discount, what is the tax, etc. I now have to add a last column for the approximate tip. Going through all this and having the free dining package I now know for sure that the dxdp is definitely not worth it. When I look at the TIW discount and all that, it seems that the total OOP should be under 400 but if I add the dxdp it would be $576. It's a no brainer for me.:teacher:
 
So today I was on the DIS and saw a link to September hours. Yeah, they were WRONG. WRONG people, they posted OLD HOURS!

They were up for like 2 seconds. I sent the link to Jenn because she wasn't able to see it. Apparently they must have been there for like 2 seconds.

Ugh, I was so dang mad! :mad:

On a more positive note.......

I started inverting the images for our tee-shirts. I think we're doing 4 of them. Or at least so far. I have a request in for an anniversary one for Joe and I but so far the DISigner has not gotten to it. She is so dang talented and has a zillion requests! I am crossing my fingers that mine comes in time. :) This weekend I plan to do the iron ons for the ones that I do have.

Joe and I were at the store the other day so I got travel sized items to replace what we used over Memorial Weekend. My brother was busting on me all weekend and calling me McGyver for all the stuff I was pulling out of my backpack. I think what got him was the travel roll of Charmin :rolleyes1. I found all sorts of goodies. My mom was impressed with the toilet seat covers that we found. :laughing: I have individual Off wipes, Lysol wipes to clean the bathrooms (yeah, I do that everywhere), and all sorts of neat stuff. Just call me McGyver............ LOL

I have also decided that moleskin just doesn't work for me. :confused3 Don't know why but I found it annoying. That said, I have decided to take a crap load of bandaids which I will put on my piggies to keep from getting blisters. I know, I will look like a dork with half my toes in bandaids but hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right???

I think I now know what setting to use on my SLR for Wishes, Hallowishes and Spectro. I plan to watch the video again but I tested it all out over Memorial Weekend and I am good to go. I did not get to do any tests on Fantasmic so I am a bit freaked about that. I have not seen that show in years and I so want to get decent pictures!

Well, that's all for now. Just wanted to keep my PTR going. Anyone out there or did ya'll leave me? :sad1::sad1:
 

I'm here, just so dang busy I can't poot without scheduling it!

Oooooh, travel size stuff! I :lovestruc travel size stuff!! It's taking all my willpower not to walk down to our SuperWalmart (love that store!) to stock up yet :rolleyes1

Yep, you do! ::yes::

I'm sure it will turn out perfectly!

I'm here too! This PTR is lots of fun! :cheer2:
 
This ADR crap is reallllllly stressing me out :( I hate iT!! I'm still here :thumbsup2

I'm here, just so dang busy I can't poot without scheduling it!

:worship:

Now to get the shirts done!

Oooooh, travel size stuff! I :lovestruc travel size stuff!! It's taking all my willpower not to walk down to our SuperWalmart (love that store!) to stock up yet :rolleyes1

We have a discount no frill drug store that has everything cheap, cheap, cheap. In fact they also now and then have Disney stuff that is really super discounted. An example would be the yard art that I got recently. Saw it on DisneyShopping for $39.99 and I got it for $6.99 in their "close out" section. Exact same thing. I've found some super stuff there.

Yep, you do! ::yes::



I'm sure it will turn out perfectly!

Thanks!



I'm here too! This PTR is lots of fun! :cheer2:

Yay for staying with me! :dance3:





Thanks for sticking with me guys! I still don't know if I trust the park hours until they are posted on Disney's site. :confused3 This whole Fantasmic thing is a disaster if you ask me. I think that the people with the dining packages need their own entrances. I hate that they changed that!

Beka, come check out my TR from Memorial Weekend. I have a link below. ;)
