Thanks.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
Me too.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
Thanks.So sorry about the car. Glad the MB got figured out.
of course.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!
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.
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.

They are fixed, thankfully. Hoping no issues when we arrive.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!
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.
Congratulations! Glad everything is going good with the surgery. You are looking great!
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!
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.
Hi Rosie! We'll say hi to you.
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.
It is so frustrating isn't it? Good idea staying on hold.
Glad you issues were resolved.
Thanks. Hope yours are all too.
I saw the photo of the car on FB and so sorry about that. Another argh!
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'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.
I am sure she will.
Yay for your countdown!!
Thanks RosieScott 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 !!!
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?!?
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
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.
mmmn! Sanaa!
