StrangeI used firefox yesterday for online check-in and it worked just fine. The only thing I couldn't do was put in a special request for Jamaica at CBR. I had to call to do that. Don't know if that was related to Firefox. Still hoping the weather people are wrong, wrong, wrong with their 14-day forecast This time next week we'll be driving to WDW

We can finally say "we are leaving THIS Friday!"

I'm back! We got home last night. What a great trip! We had a short spurt of rain our first night at MK that cleared the park for EMH and a short misting our morning at AK. Otherwise weather was great and crowds were low.

 

[ctniners]

Packing right now...leaving Monday morning at 6:30....I hope everybody has a great time and lets hope we all get great weather

Cheerleaders? I feel SOOOO sorry for you. I know what that's like. At DL they have a Cheer convention every year.. I totally avoided the parks on that weekend.

15 bazillion pre-teen girls with overly made up sparkled faces giggling and shrieking every time a cute boy walks by - ALL the time can really wreck ones nerves.

 

[TigerKat]

Leaving on Friday 2/17, staying at BLT through 2/21!!!

We just got back from the World yesterday and had an amazing time! The weather was beautiful! Even though it said scattered thundershowers almost every day, it only rained once! So don't let the rain in the forecast scare you.

The crowds were also very low. When we did the evening extra magic hours at MK, we walked on everything! Also did the morning extra magic hours at MK and AK and had almost everything done by noon time! EE was a walk on until about 10am, and even then it was only a 15 min wait.

Just a little heads up..Splash Mountain was down the whole week we were there. Not sure what was wrong, but there wasn't even any water running on it so they must be having some major problems and we never did get to ride it And because Thunder Mountain is down for the refurb, they aren't hiding the paint brushes on Tom Sawyer's Island. We found this out after we had been looking for one for 30 mins But we still had a good time looking around on the island!

Also TSM was only a 30 min wait at 1pm and we didn't have a problem getting a fastpass for it. The rest of the park was pretty much empty. I have pictures of us on the streets of America with just us there! What we did was grabbed fastpasses for TSM, then went to the back of the park and worked our way up. Started at the Backlot Tour and there was only 5 other people on it, then we walked right up to meet Mater and Lightning McQueen because there was no one else in line! Walked right on the new Star Tours ride as well, even though it said 20 mins. (great ride by the way! )

The longest we waited for a ride was maybe 30 mins for Soarin. If anyone has any other questions, i'd be more then happy to answer them

What days were you there? We rode Splash 2/5 during EMH, but never did haed back that way again. With BTM being down we didn't really have any reason to. There were some good views of BTM refurb from the boat. I will post pics when my Photobucket account is done exceeding it's limit for the month or I find a different site to use. [/I]

We were actually there the 4th-11th and went to MK on the 5th for the EMH, but by the time we got to it that night, it was down. If only we had done it earlier!

We took the train around and got to see some of the refurb going on as well. Looked good

Hello, thought I'd spread some pixie dust news! Yesterday we went to check in to our resort, all star music, and we're told the family suite we were supposed to receive with a Roll in shower for my handicapped dad wasn't available any longer. Soooo they upgraded us three rooms for no extra cost at the fort wilderness lodge!!!!
