| The Dangerous Ding Report **Pre-TR - Complete with ALL the changes 9/9** This trip report is coming with the following Disclaimer: I (Amy-Iamgrumpy) have all intentions of finishing this trip report even though i haven't even finished my trip report from December! (sorry to those who were reading it... life happened) But if for some reason i am unable to maintain the duties assigned with the title of Trip Reporter... then hopefully someone will take over in my absence.  Ok are you laughing yet I hope so because I sure am! Does everyone know what time it is..... (no not Tool Time for those who remember that show from the early 90's) Its time for Amy's Pre trip report! So Hear goes! The Cast Of Characters Amy a.k.a "Iamgrumpy" (ME)- Age at time of trip 25 many trips to WDW a few more then my age! Angela a.k.a "Qvcnut55" (mom)- Age at time of trip 51 many trips to WDW a few more then me! (very short list -i know you are all sighing at the relief of something short winded here) When: September 11 to September 18 2007 ***this was changed from June to September *** To continue on with this will mean that I have to explain a few details which will also give away the title of this report! So if we could go over the Pre Trip report Reading check list we can continue: Do you have your glasses? (hope so or what you have read so far has been way blurry and i recommend going back and re-reading it) Are all beverages away from your keyboard ( i take no responsibility for any electronics ruined by sprays of beverages from laughter, shock, or sorrow) Is your reading light on? ( i would hate for you to read in the dark) Now that everything is set we are ready for take off we thank you for taking the time to read with Iamgrumpy Trip Report airlines and enjoy your flight... I mean report! The Pilot (oops i mean writer) has cleared us for take off and off we go.... So Angela (mom) and I (Me i know you knew that but still) love all things Disney and we love traveling. So what better then vacations combining both right! Well after 2006 you would have thought we would be vacationed out. Why you ask well let me give you our timeline of last year and you will probably say "and why are you writing a new trip report after that?" so here goes: April 2006 we had the time of lives on the Disney Cruise Lines on a 7 night cruise of the eastern Caribbean. May 2006 (yes 2 weeks after cruising) we were back to Florida for a trip to WDW now you probably are saying wow 2 trips in one year but wait there is more... (no you don't get free ginzu knives if you call in the next 5 minutes) December 2006 rounded out our trips of 2006 where we stayed at the hotel my mom dreamt about the Polynesian. When we left we said "no more Disney until our Westbound Repositioning Cruise in 2008" Well you can imagine what might happen but i have to be honest right now and say that until April 3rd 2007 Disney in 2007 was the farthest from our minds!!!!!! Well here is what happened... It was a dark and dreary (oh wait sorry wrong story)... I left work early that day i was just ancy to get home but no real reason as to why i felt that way well what waited for me at home would change my summer plans forever! I sat in my room and turned on my Laptop and since we weren't planning on any big trips this year i had the sound turned off but today my sound was on and i heard that sometimes dangerous sound of a Ding Fare being announced. I hadn't been watching them but the few times i checked they were for cities i had no interest in and at prices that were not "deals" by any means. Well today I clicked on that little white envelope and inside was something very dangerous! A ding fare to Orlando from Hartford. I check and its for $45 each way....  ok they have my interest but the pessimist in me was planning on it being for the next 2 weeks and no way for me to use it but imagine my Shock when it was for MAY, JUNE, and JULY!!!!!! Well i have credits i have to use up or lose by the end of December, i could probably get time off in June (may is out two many holidays) and we won't do July again! So I check out Disney's Website and find that All Star Music is available the cost is what i was getting for my Federal Refund... Hmmmm so free airfare, Package paid off with my refund, and the only extra is Rental car, Scooters, and Spending money. I call Mom QUICKLY! and she is in since I am footing most of the bill for this trip!!! So now i quickly book my airfare and then call Disney directly to book since I prefer booking with a live person and by calling i can put off paying the deposit for 10 days. We will take a small break to give those who need a break to do so and will continue soon! Up Next... Does she make the reservation? or is she just taking us on a flight to nowhere...i mean report to nowhere
