[DisneyBabies]

Roll call for DH and I: May 23

 

[momof2n2]

Our AK day is 5/8.

Trying to decide if I should set my alarm for 11:55 tonight to check for FP+.

Did I read that we might be able to book dining packages on April 2nd??? (I know, everything is a rumor until it happens... i was just wondering if this was our latest rumor!!)

I heard this too. I'm still trying to find out if it is a rumor or not.

 

[mrzrich]

I will be in WDW April 16-19. Wasn't even thinking of ROL for this trip, but now with the possibility of AP Preview, my wheels are turning.

The dates that I was originally pining for were May 7-8 (Mother's Day)

Ok here's what I've heard. That's not new info that is the old info and there are in fact no previews scheduled for the next week. It's uncertain if there will be anything after that.

I need to clarify that what I meant is that it charged at least 3 phones on one overnight charge. There are not 3 ports to charge 3 things at the sam time. Yes it charges anything with a usb on the power end. I charge my iPhone and my samsung tablet with this power pack.

Yes, thank you. I assumed it was only one device at a time. On our last trip the charger I had would only hold enough charge for 1 1/2 iPhone charges, and wouldn't work on Samsung. I needed something that would have enough juice to charge all 3 of our phones at various points in the day. This one seems perfect so I'm glad you mentioned it!!

Nah, I think if the info from the phone calls today is correct the earliest we'll see something is after Saturday

Ok here's what I've heard. That's not new info that is the old info and there are in fact no previews scheduled for the next week. It's uncertain if there will be anything after that.

That makes sense, other than the phone calls several people got today. Wonder why someone would call several people to tell them to watch for word on Saturday if it wasn't coming till after Monday?

Not surprised.

I'll be on the midnight shift tonight! Will be up to make my AK FP reservations for 5/1 and will be wishing for sunset safari to be an option.

You have to watch the mAh that a charger has. It takes about 6000 to really charge more than 1 device.
I got DH one that is 13000 mAh and it is great. Most of the cheap ones you find out there are something like 3000 mAh

The only good news that comes out of this ( possibly) is that the thread might reach "Moby Dick" status !!

He was sort of a monster too ....

At last look, the thread had 492,553 views---- personally, I would like to thank the 553 DISers that have posted and lurked --- just never realized there were 492,000 castmembers !!

 

[Cluelyss]

Someone posted on facebook ROL dining packages will be open to book on Saturday. I asked where she heard this but she hasn't answered me yet. So I don't know if it is another rumor or not

That was me, and yep, read it here!!

Gosh, I've attended so many (mostly WDW) events over the years and it's really really rare for Disney to open reservations for something of this proportion on a weekend. It's possible, but I think it's much more apt to happen on a weekday, even though the Blog announcement may be on Saturday. From my experience, I don't hold up much hope for IT handling it, but I like to remain hopeful.....LOL!!!

My AK days at this point are April 27 (evening) and all day / hopefully evening on the 28th, though I could make other arrangements for the 29th, too. Then, I'll be back in October, too.

I'll be checking Dining and FP at 11:00 PM my time tonight, too!

 

[Vernie822]

I'll be up tomorrow before 6, but not sure what I'd even be looking for on the WDW site as far as AP/DVC stuff.. Probably just watch the blogs?!

Seriously I'll be at a wine festival Saturday so if anything opens up I'm not sure what will happen lol

Saturday, April 2nd --- 6:01 Am (EST)
Disney Castmember meeting

That thought crossed my mind...that it was from before the previews got cancelled.

Ok here's what I've heard. That's not new info that is the old info and there are in fact no previews scheduled for the next week. It's uncertain if there will be anything after that.

Yeah, if not for the dates for the CM preview parties, I would have been suspicious that this was old info.

While we are on the topic of phones and battery charging, my husband just received his Ebay order for our upcoming trip. Last time we brought a power bank to the parks, but it charged the phones very slowly. So this time we are bringing extra phone batteries. We got 3 batteries and a wall charger for less than $14. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-x-280...969212?hash=item2ee75a963c:g:qUEAAOSw2VJVfpie Just wanted to throw that out there as an option in case anyone is interested. I know when we get taking pictures and such we drain our batteries fairly quickly.

OMG! This just made me spit wine on my iPad!

Goes to show the environment in which I like to read this thread, in any case.
