Fasten your seatbelts...trays in an upright postion?

Now is the time to put all drinks to the side so i'm not held responsible for any keyboard mishaps and please make sure your settled in for the ride

So When we left off i had checked online and was going to call Disney to see what I could find for a room and deal. Now I do have to say that working for a reservations department i totally understand the job and the frustrations so when i call i try to be extra nice so they don't feel stressed and can take their time. I rang Disney Reservations and got a sweet lady named Beatrice Lynn. She was very nice to talk with and was able to find me a standard view room at All Star Music with the dining plan and park passes for a pretty decent rate.

My mom and I are usually Annual Passholders but since this was a last minute trip and we aren't planning on going to the parks in the next 12 months after we decided against renewing our AP's.

Beatrice and I looked over the time frame i had and decided that we would do 5 day Magic Your way Park Hopper tickets. This way we could do multiple parks in one day and have enough days to cover the day we get there and the day we get home.

Your probably thinking with our history that an Annual Pass would be better but we truely feel like after this vacation we won't be able to spend any more money on vacations until we take our Cruise in 2008 as that is a Major vacation!!!!

So Beatrice puts up with my long windedness where i explain the ding fare and my mom and I and how we have gone so many times and this is the first trip where i'll be able to rent a car since its about 1 month after my Birthday and that this will be a great way to celebrate. And yes i said that in one long sentence with no breaths and i'm sure she was laughing to herself

So soon i had that wonderful confirmation number in my hand and I thanked her for her time and hung up the phone. It was official i was going to Disney World

So I decided to call mom and let her know what i had so far! So this is the conversation:

ME: all set all star music 4 nights dining plan Yahhoooo!!

Other person: who is this??

ME: oops sorry wrong number

Yep i dialed the wrong number so then i had to try again this time i made sure i hit all the right numbers. and got a better reaction but not much!

ME: Mom?

Mom: Yeah who else would it be?

ME: No one nevermind that, we are all set All Star Music for 4 nights dining and we are going to Disney!!! Yahooo!!!!

Mom: Thats great honey i'll see you when i get home.

The reaction was not what i was hoping for but at least it was the right person this time!

So now that we had a hotel booked we would have to decide on dinner because we had the Dining plan and I love to maximize those credits.

Up Next... Dining Choices and Changes
