I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip. That's great that you're planning a fabulous trip for the future. I always function better when I have a trip in the works.
What kind of food was served during this event? Did you feel it was worth the price?
Exciting!! When are you thinking of going?
Woo hoo ! Glad you have something booked. I currently have three booked but will only go on one. Trying to figure out what dates work best . ( mid April or late August or early September)
Hello everyone! So, another quick update, I am going back to Disney World!! Yeah, I know I said that last time, but I actually have a trip booked this time! I am super excited to finally get back, and really just leave my home. It's hard to believe I have not gone anywhere since September 2019. Absolutely crazy.
The trip is at the end of April, so it will be fun to check out the Flower and Garden festival again, it's been four years since I've seen that. Oh, also, this will be a solo trip. Since my mom is teaching in person, they won't let her take a trip since she would have to quarantine when she gets back, whomp whomp. Oh well, I'll have fun regardless!
I'll probably post some planning stuff as I get more into it, just booked so still busy doing the happy dance.
Although I guess I should start looking into that soon since I can make ADRs in three days! Eeek! This is coming up fast!
AH! SO jel! I want to go back! Cant wait to hear about it! I hope you have the best time ever!
That is so awesome about your Magic Band! We just returned from a 3night/2day trip that we planned in 2 weeks. You will find things very different with no FP+ or many ADR's, but it's still good
Random feel good story update! So I ordered my magic band about two weeks ago and it shipped immediately. Well, yesterday I realized that it’s been a while since it’s shipped and I haven’t received it, so I looked into it but the tracking didn't show any updates. I didn’t really think much of it, the post office still seems backed up with shipping, got a Christmas present my aunt sent back in November only like two weeks ago, so they still seem to be pretty behind.
Well, today I get a package from UPS, which I wasn’t expecting. I realize when I look closer that it looks like a magic band box, but it had clearly been opened and retaped. Confused I look at the return address and it’s not from Disney but from someone in Ohio. Weird. So I open it and the first thing I see a note. The note explains that this person randomly received my magic band, and they were worried that if they contacted Disney to let them know the mistake that I wouldn’t get a magic band in time for my trip, so decided to ship it to me directly! What an amazing person! I am so impressed with this persons thoughtfulness, totally made my day.
oh boy! Bring on the drinks!!Oh my goodness, what a morning. I have been trying to book my flight for April for over 2 hours now, seriously, booking airfare should never be this complicated. I feel like American is purposely trying to give me a nervous breakdown.
So I have some flight credits from cancelled trips last year that I'm trying to use, but every time I got to checkout I could only use a credit card, not my credits. I had been doing it as a guest, so I figured maybe I need to sign into my account to actually use the credits, so I do that, but now my credits are gone. The site says they should be in my wallet, but nope, no credits. Fantastic.
Next I decide to try different flights and different types of seats, and after may attempts I FINALLY figured out a way to be able to use my credits....and that is to book first class seats. Seriously, the website will only let me use my flight credits if I spend an extra $250 on top of my credits. I can book the whole roundtrip flight in coach for $97, so with my credits that should be free, but maybe the flight needs to be more than the value of the credits? Yeah, I'll be calling later when I get to a point I don't want to yell at them.
Also, I seem to have blocked off all the seats I would have wanted with all my attempts since you have to select seats prior to getting to the payment page. When I look now none of the first class seats are available when before I started this morning none were booked, and all the window seats in coach are also unavailable when earlier there were a ton. Or maybe lot of other people are booking flights today....who knows!
I think it's time for a gin and tonic.
We only had 1 day at Epcot and 1 day at MK, so we knew we wouldn't get to do everything. We were okay with that because we are going back next January We did have a few "must do's". We were able to do everything we wanted with short park hours. We even finished early at Epcot. Many of the waits were a bit shorter than the posted time. I made us a lunch ADR each day because I really wanted to try Via Napoli and there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice for CS at MK right now. It was a nice break each midday.Glad it's still good with no FP+ or many ADRs. I totally expect different, just not really sure what to expect! Did you find it was less running around with fewer things to get to?
Or 2...or 3...I think it's time for a gin and tonic.
OMG! I got teary eyed just reading that! I know it's silly but these days, I feel like any small thing is needed.Well, today I get a package from UPS, which I wasn’t expecting.
