Katman1356...Jason

X6 for Jason!

We haven't used Jason yet but I have met him and we like him if that counts! (And my mom will be using him for a fall trip when they figure out when they are going)

Glad I could be  part of keeping you moving Ed. 

Code Purple?

Disney heard the Wild Womenz were returning and activated their Evacuation Plan.

That's ok. Great pix. I was looking at them and it took me back to last week when we were still there. My DD just asked if we can go back next month. I said yes and then reality struck me and I had to say no. Lol

I have been working on some late December dates and January dates as well. I am finding no availability for anything past something like Dec 23rd right now. I am hoping it is some kind of glitch or they are holding back some sites for some reason. January should be bookable by phone as it is within the 499 day window so I am not sure what is truly going on right now. I know last year around this time there was some issues with booking January of this year that cleared up after a while. 

I would be willing to build one for some one. However they are not cheap to build, not sure, but must be close to 75-100 dollars in one in materials.

My first hand review of using the Magic Bands and Fastpass+ during Christmas week. 
 
When we headed down we had made our FP+ selections ahead of time for the parks we believed we would be attending each day. 
 
We broke a some of the "rules" for going to Disney Christmas week. We tended to sleep in and we park hopped almost every day. 
 
Here are some of the things I found through using the system. For clarity purposes I was sometimes using a Laptop in the hotel room to make adjustments, usually when we slept in, and at other times I was making changes on my iPhone. 
 
Several days we woke up after our first time had started and in some cases had already completely passed. I was able to move the FP's to later in the day generally with almost no issue so we could make our times with out and issue. 
 
When we started a day knowing we were going to Park Hop we set up the FP+ selections for the second park. That way we could use the lighted wait times in the first park and the FP+ when we hit the higher times in the second park. 
 
I also found that if we hit a park and wanted to work through our FP+ selections faster as soon as we used one I could go on my phone and move the next one up to just 10 minutes from the present time. This let us ride Toy Story, Star Tours, and Muppets(I know not a great choice but it was slammed earlier in teh week and SIl really wanted to ride it) Then have dinner in the Bar area of 50's Prime Time and see the Osbourne lights all in about 2.5 hours starting at 3:30 or so. As that was all we really wanted to accomplish at that park that day we were quite happy with that. 
 
If anyone has any questions for me on something specific on using the system while there feel free to ask. I will answer as best I can. I was trying my best to test it in as many ways as possible so I could thoroughly understand it. 

You know what they say, Dave;  "The eyes are ONE of the first things to go.  I can't remember the rest.

Thanks Rennie. If this gets cancelled I am definitely thinking of all the Fiends back at Disney who would help us out.

Wait a darn minute PGM, didn't you just post this?
 

that reminds me I still need to make a flat Mo to take a picture with on Main St Christmas day.

Still sounds better than Trails End Pizza

Ah geez, he'd rather be in a cabin, that's not good news

Well Rich went to one of his Doctors today. Said no to coming to the fort. So sorry I really wanted to get together with all of you, but it is to important for him not to push himself especially before the surgery. I could have a GG at my house, you all could come here I would make DF Chicken for all of you LOL

I'm an equal opportunity newbie harasser. Once we hook you, and you are posting regularly, I move onto the next victim, I mean member.

Woot! Woot!
I called Delta and they will change my flights if my DW says yes. I'm a medallion member and so "changes are no proble sir". She called me sir. Lol. She must of thought I was Lou or TCD.
My DW still hasn't said to pulled the trigger but she's definitely ready to say yes.
Keep the positive thoughts coming.
DD has rehearsal tonight andots DWs turn to take her. so I'm going to put up both are Christmas trees and as many of the indoor decorations as i can to surprise her when they get home. Normally I take care of the outdoor decorations and she takes care of the inside. I think this might get her into the Christmas mood and hopefully the Disney Christmas mood.

Update: SCORE! We just got our last day added just now! We won't have to move at all now.

Seriously.  Imagine beef stroganov, chicken and cream crepes and a chilled vodka drink of some sort.  Yum.  

At my son's last football game, the opposing team's marching band and drill team performed during half time. During one number their tuba player played while riding a bike. It was pretty impressive.

Disney Customer Relations finally came through.
 
I got my apology letter this past Saturday 11/9 with the phone number on how to claim my comp day for a tent site.
 
They said to make sure that I book early, etc.

OH!  I know this one!  "Salad" is the stuff my dinnner eats for dinner.  :rofl3:

I hope Shardi doesn't see this!!!!
