Decorations and friends, what could be better. Time to plan..11/27 Final plans& recap

[Trentmom]

I am glad you got kinks figured out with Vinny's MB

I would be afraid to change anything around

Your Day ten plan sounds great

 

[MaryAz]

So sorry about the car. Glad the MB got figured out.

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Joining in, if that is ok!

So sorry to hear about the car. I hope everything goes well.

You are having lunch with 2 of my all time favorite people at dining with an imagineer! Tracy and Bill are tops on my families list! That is half of what is making this trip extra special.

I do hope that we get to bump into you and Vinny (and Renee)! If you see us, don't be afraid to yell at me to get my attention. Sometimes I have tunnel vision and miss all the fun stuff as I am soaking in the atmosphere!

Pans sound great !! Yes UT was awesome , when we went with P &P the TA got vouchers what a time we had with them I thought Carol was gonna blow a gasket. We stayed onsite so had express pass and found the parks easy to navigate . I do highly recommend Finnegans restaurant

Thanks.
We had vouchers last time but it was quick for us to exchange them. We are not doing fast pass there. I figure three days we should see most of it.

Me too.
I am nervous to do so but I might try one day today.
Thanks

of course.
Thanks. It is just scrapes so hoping the insurance will cover it.
Yes I am. I am looking forward to it. They are great people.
will definitely do that.

I won't go into it again here (those on FB know how I was) but they messed up Vinny's magic band and he was taken off the reservation. They wanted me to go through so many things to fix it but I finally found a helpful cm and supervisor on the DVC line and they helped and put him back on. She said fp's would work but they still don't. I give up.

Tonight we were side swiped by someone not paying attention. Everyone was okay but got damage to the car. Now that needs to be fixed.

One good thing happened today was our Universal tickets came. I ordered them from undercover tourist and so far am happy.

I will post the next day plans tomorrow.

Oh no!!! That's just not cool! Hoping you can fix the MB issues!

Hope that insurance will cover the car accident repairs with little drama! (I know how they can drag things out!)

YAY for your Universal tickets! I'm so jealous! I want to get over there so badly!! One day!

We're trying Teppan Edo on our trip. I can't wait!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

What a fun trip this is going to be! We just booked for Thanksgiving week. Unfortunately there is no MVMCP while we are there. I will live vicariously through everyone else's photos I guess.

I have messed up the days so much. I am actually 3 days ahead of where I am supposed to be and the parks are not matching up.

I will be making a post soon with the updated info. It will take me a day or two to write it up.

Here is this weeks weight update.





The newest pic the shirt is a size smaller than on day 1.

Congratulations! Glad everything is going good with the surgery. You are looking great!

Okay let me recap and see if I did anything wrong.

Day 1 – 11/29 – Leave for Orlando. Arrive at night staying near Universal.
Day 2 – 11/30 – Going to see friends and family.
Day 3 – 12/01 – Universal Studios
Day 4 – 12/02 – Move to Art of Animation. Then off to Epcot where we have Fastpasses for.

• Spaceship Earth
• Mission: Space
• Soarin’

Then we have lunch at Marrakesh and then at 5pm we have the Candlelight Procession with Neil Patrick Harris.

Day 5 – 12/3 – MK for a little while. Fastpasses are.

• Jungle Cruise
• POTC
• Big Thunder Mountain.

Then we will head back to the resort to relax. At 4ish I will head back to MK for the party. Vinny and Renee will be dining at Cape May Buffet this evening as they are not going to the party.

Day 5 – 12/4 – Check out of AofA and into Saratoga Springs. HS day. Our fastpasses are.

• Tower of Terror
• Star Tours
• Lights, Motors, Action

I have lunch this day with Tracy and Bill (if you know them) and (Lorrie and Jim) as we are dining with an imagineer. I am looking so forward to this lunch.
Then during the evening we will be at DTD.

Day 6 – 12/5 – AK day. Fastpasses are.

• Dinosaur
• Safari
• Festival of the Lion King

We will of course also walk the trails. Dinner this evening is at Turf Club.

Day 7 – 12/6 – Day off. Vinny and Renee have breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and I will eat at Captain Cooks because of my new stomach.
After that we will go to the resorts to see the different decorations.
Late afternoon we are back at Grand Floridian to have tea. We love sitting there and having tea and sandwiches. That evening will be relaxing with if anyone hungry it will be at SSR Artist’s Palette.

Day 8 – 12/7 – Epcot day.
Fastpasses include –

• Test Track
• Living with the land
• Nemo

We will also look around at the storytellers maybe. After our break in the afternoon we will return for dinner at Chefs de France. We will probably also watch Illuminations.

Day 9 – 12/8 – MK day.
Fastpasses are –

• Peter Pan
• Winnie pooh
• Little mermaid

We will also look around the park and go on other things.
Dinner is at Olivia’s that night.

Will stop here and continue on soon.

Plans look good. We got a lot of the same FP+ in the same order. Scary to read about the whole mix up with the MB'S & FP+. So far I haven't had any major problems and I hope it stays that way!

Disney mail came.

These are for Art of Animation.


These are for Saratoga Springs.


I am having issues with Fastpass+ and you know about it if we are friends on Facebook. Very annoying but hopefully it will be straightened out soon.

Next update is being worked on so look for it soon.

Oh wow!!! So do we get new MB's for every trip? I am confused about that part. Do we need to keep track of these bands forever or do we get new ones each time? That can't be cheap!

Do you know if we will still get the KTTWC along with the bands? I had read conflicting information. I'm just curious if anyone knows more solid info.

Anyway, it's good to see you & everyone on here. It's been a while since I have been able to take a couple of days to catch up on the Dis. I miss it.

 

[emmysmommy]

We will be in Mk that day too !!

Hi Rosie! We'll say hi to you.

I won't go into it again here (those on FB know how I was) but they messed up Vinny's magic band and he was taken off the reservation. They wanted me to go through so many things to fix it but I finally found a helpful cm and supervisor on the DVC line and they helped and put him back on. She said fp's would work but they still don't. I give up.

Tonight we were side swiped by someone not paying attention. Everyone was okay but got damage to the car. Now that needs to be fixed.

Argh about the silly MBs, we've had several issues as well. I couldn't link Emily's AP to our reservation system and when I talked with tech support it took them an HOUR to fix the issue. They said they would call me back when completed but I asked to stay on hold since I wanted to know it was done. Talk about frustrating.

Glad you issues were resolved.

I saw the photo of the car on FB and so sorry about that. Another argh!

Dinner will be here.


I am looking forward to this meal as last time it was so good. Hopefully Renee will enjoy it too.

[/COLOR][/SIZE]

I'm so glad that AK park has so many cool decorations! I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.

I'm a Teppan Edo fan so I hope your meal is as good as last time. Good thing there are a lot of menu choices so I hope Renee finds it enjoyable as well.

Yay for your countdown!!

Scott we did not have express pass in April with the family and did both parks in 2 days with no problem. There were afew things we didn't get to do like Spiderman as it broke down when we were jusr=t seated and the line later on was horrendous .I loved Harry Potter , yes I know the non rollercoaster gal , I had figured out from what others said it was across between Dinasaur ( jerking) and Soarin' and I agree . I would go back just for that ride . Also LOVED the Horror Make Up Show !!
emmysmom I hope we do get to say Hi !!!

We're trying Teppan Edo on our trip. I can't wait!

They are fixed, thankfully. Hoping no issues when we arrive.
Me too, we should find out tomorrow.
I hope I can do Harry Potter this time. Last time I was too big.
Love that restaurant.

I wonder why they don't do it that week. Have a magical trip.
Things are going good now after the surgery. Hurt for awhile.
I hope you have no issues either.
I am so confused about them. You speak to different cm's and they tell yuo different things.
I think if you tell them your allergic they will give you a card.
Good to see you. Lots of people are coming back here.

It is so frustrating isn't it? Good idea staying on hold.

Glad you issues were resolved.
Thanks. Hope yours are all too.

First accident I ever had. Hoping the last.

I'm so glad that AK park has so many cool decorations! I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.
I love AK.

I am sure she will.

There are none.

This is a free day for us so we will sleep in maybe then possibly go play mini golf or go to Downtown Disney or possibly see the remaining resort decorations we had not seen.

Dinner on this evening will be at Sanaa. We will go early and see the decorations on this day and see some of the animals.



Up next,

Day 12 plans

 

[DisneyJo]

Plans are looking good so far Scott!

So sorry about your car but glad it's getting sorted and no-one was hurt!

I thought you could reuse MB's rather than them sending you 2 lots?!?

Thank you.
me too.
They sent 1 for each resort visit which to me says waste of money but I don't run it.

 

[eandesmom]

mmmn! Sanaa!

I love a no plan day, we sort of have one of those. We also are getting 2 sets of bands which yes, does seem very wasteful but you can at least get some different colors!

Day 11 Non plans sound great

Day 11 Non plans sound great

Thank you

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Ok, I am jealous as all get out! I really wish we had enough time for a no plans day. As it is I am wondering when exactly we will sleep. Should be interesting with 2 small kids... I am sure there will be meltdowns at some point... most likely from me! I'll be interested in seeing how Sanaa is. I have heard mixed reviews, but I think it depends on your tastes.

we always plan no park days but we have no kids to keep entertained. Some mornings we sleep in till 10 while we are there.
everyone deserves to have 1 meltdown per trip.
We love Sanaa. This will be our 4th time back. The spicy durban shrimp and chicken are delicious. I like the shrimp more. It does depend on your tastes. I would suggest a lunch there for the 1st time. Cheaper and smaller portions.
