Loads to update!
Last month during a volleyball tournament i received a call from Disney! SO EXCITING right?
I tried to get away from the kids to answer it and i succeeded for about 3 minutes.. Matthew caught me outside..
It was Disney Signature Services. It's the new IPO (itinerary planning office) The service from staying Club Level. it was an amazing 3 minutes. Like i was able to tell my fairy godmother this was a surprise trip for the kids, i wasn't able to talk.
She sent me an email:
Good morning Michelle!
We are excited to assist you in the planning of your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation. I am contacting you on behalf of Disney Signature Services, a newly enhanced team exclusive to Club Level guests. Below is a link that allows you to explore our Enchanted Extras Collection. This holds the key to over 100 ways to make your vacation more memorable!
Our team can also assist you in the planning of dining, FastPasses, and any other needs you may have. Disney Signature Services looks forward to speaking with you in the future.
Have a magical day!
Isn't that AWESOME?!?!? Ohhh the magic has started!
I was able to call them back and was the best phone call!! They really are like your very own Fairy Godmother! If i were to work for Disney World THIS would be the job i would want!
We talked for a long time about our wishes- the kids birthday- Bryan and Amy's anniversary amongst other fun things Disney offers now which is a TON of tours!
She gave me a few ideas how to surprise the kids. In the end i did give her the list of ADR's we were hoping for.
She said she would email me.
I have been in constant contact with Bryan talking about the trip. and possible changes.
Like i did call Disney looking at different resorts. I had Bryan on one phone and Disney on the other phone Yes two phones.
I changed to the boardwalk! Club level again! Just thought we can relax a lot more- the kids could enjoy the activities on the boardwalk while all the adults can sit and have a refreshing drink!
Yes.. Yes i did..
Then as we were trying to get Bryan-and Amy's parents over. She noticed there weren't any more rooms available.
Damn.
So back to the Poly!
Garden view! I wanted garden view when i first booked.
Lagoon and theme park i don't think is worth the money. Since we have the lounged with the amazing view whenever we need!
and of course:
So ground zero went right back to our original plans.
or will they???
Bryan had the time to figure out projected park times. which corresponds with our plans perfectly.
See? He is a huge asset in this whole planning thing! Except AK. He still will not budge on AK.
Which is fine with me.
This past Saturday they had a birthday party for the girls Elliot and Payton. I had to work like i have been for the last 4 weeks! Nope I haven't had a day off in i don't know how long.
We got there late of course had a great time like always!! this time i kept an eye on the time.. NO WAY were we staying until 2am.. JUST NO. Thankfully this wasn't a planning get together. Yes there was drinking. Yes there was Disney talk but i kept it at a minimum. I did NOT want another family deciding it would be a great idea to come along. 14 is enough.
There were other reasons for leaving early.
Time Change
I did have to work Sunday
Most important i had to get up early..
Yes yes yes yes.. I have disney signature services trying to get our ADR'S but my crazy planning kicked in. Booted up the laptop and remembered.
I have to make them 14 people. I was able to start with BOG it will allow you to make them for a large party.
click on the time and...
well then..
Time to call. 5:58 Not open yet.
try on web site:
5:59 call
Not open.
6:00 On the dot i call again.
Stupid automated service. FINALLY get through all that nonsense and get a real live person on the phone
She was more then helpful Shockingly i did NOT have any issues getting exactly what we wanted with the amount of people we had!!
This was way to easy.
In the end we got:
9/9 Ohana Dinner 9:35pm holy moly this is the latest i ever got a reservation for!
9/10 Scifi lunch
9/11 Garden Grill Lunch I do have two time slots here
9/12 Cinderella Royal Table
That's right.. We got it!!! a late lunch! we will not miss ANY party time!!! WOOHOO!
9/13- Nada remember this is a down day. Works since Cindy's table requires the 2 TCs
9/14 50's Prime time! YES WE ARE FINALLY GOING!! every time i book this something comes up where i either have to cancel OR i had to leave Disney early. Nothing stopping use now!
9/15- BE OUR GUEST
try 4!!! I have 4 tables!!! YES YES I DID!
9/16 Ohana Breakfast
So there ya have it!
Notice something missing? yeah me too. I forgot to book Tusker house.... Hold on a sec-
just like that the magic of computers i was able to book our TH for the 9th at 8:35am. Just now. oops.
Apparently Sept 2017 is not that busy? I have never been able to book all this, this easily!
Oh? Did i miss something else? Like anything on the kids actual Birthday?
Because i have no idea what to do.
None.
tom and i kinda agree once we get to Disney ON their birthday we will let them pick what to do. We can just hit up all the QS which ever park they agree on. BUT at night i do want to head over to AK see Pandora at night. We will be exhausted but we do have the now 8:35am ADR for tusker house!
All this worry for nothing! Just nothing! it was EASY AS PIE!
Hope your all still around!
