Apparently, I’m right on time…

November 26th, 2010 · No Comments

Earlier this week, I got a wild streak and decided to check out rates on Kayak if I were to rent a car from the airport in Thursday night and return it somewhere on Saturday night.  (If you did not know already, the Swan, unlike the regular Disney World resorts, charges for parking).  It ended [...]

My Cruise Docs came!

November 10th, 2010 · No Comments

My documents came yesterday!  Is there a nice view than seeing an envelope from DCL or WDW in your mailbox?  I don’t think so.  I have to say, I really like the way Disney Cruiseline does their documents.  Rather than the mass of paper WDW sends you, DCL’s documents are in a pretty spiral bound [...]

OMG!  Less than TWO weeks to go until Universal-w00t! I ended up moving around my DTD day in order to do a DIS meet.  I’ve also added lunch at Emeril’s Tchoup Chop to my agenda.  I may be canceling my Paradisio 37  reservation as I’ll be using my OpenTable check to fund the lunch, I [...]

Debating dropping Epcot from my December agenda….

July 19th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Yesterday, I was thinking about how I should probably order my ticket for my day at Epcot in December soon, as ticket prices will most likely go up soon. And suddenly, the idea of skipping Epcot the Saturday before my cruise occurred to me.  I could see the later parade at MVMCP and party on.  [...]
