21:13:42 [MissBianca] Hey! justjan, BA, Pam!
21:13:46 [BetsyAnn] We will get started in 3 minutes with Touring styles
21:13:47 [MissBianca] Beautiful here 
21:13:55 [DisneyPam] howdy MissB.
21:14:15 [BetsyAnn] You can't get an adapter
21:15:41 [BetsyAnn] Welcome to How do you “do” the Parks! We are talking about touring styles - Which are you commando, lazy butt or somewhere in between?
21:15:51 [DisneyPam] no...need the actual cord...I'm just scared b/c I'm not entirely sure which gets hooked to what...I just really need to get one of the maintenance guys to do it.
21:15:54 [MissBianca] Lazier than Lazy Butt?
21:16:09 [MissBianca] Lazy Butt on wheels!
21:16:10 [DisneyPam] * DisneyPam I'm all 3!! hee hee hee all depends on my mood and the company I'm keeping.
21:16:16 [justjan] somewhere in between
21:16:22 [BetsyAnn] Good plan Pam
21:16:38 [BetsyAnn] I am snail which I believe is in between
21:16:50 [BetsyAnn] LOL MissB
21:17:09 [BetsyAnn] I like the somewhere inbetween too justjan
21:17:29 [BetsyAnn] So Pam - what does commando look like for you?
21:17:43 [MissBianca] We tried commando the first time we went, had read "the unofficial guide"
21:17:49 [justjan] we have been there enough in the past 3 years so we don't have to "do it all" every trip
21:18:28 [MissBianca] I agree, Jan, knowing "I'll be back" took the pressure off
21:18:39 [DisneyPam] sweaty!!!!!
21:18:40 [BetsyAnn] I can do commando but what is the point - you can't get it all down no matter how hard you try and I just get frustrated at the attempt
21:18:47 [BetsyAnn] ROFLOL Pam
21:19:42 [justjan] We started out commando and found that we weren't having a lot of fun
21:20:06 [BetsyAnn] I so agree jan
21:20:11 [MissBianca] lol, Pam, that is so true!
21:20:27 [MissBianca] Right Betsy
21:20:55 [MissBianca] Then on our second trip we made too many PSes and spent all the time feeling like we were commando eating
21:21:10 [BetsyAnn] I do the snail method - it is somewhere between slug and lazy butt
21:21:19 [justjan] LOL Miss B -
21:21:29 [BetsyAnn] PS and FP really interput my snail pace!
21:21:50 [MissBianca] Oh FP is just right for snails 
21:22:13 [MissBianca] Tell us about a snail day, BA?
21:22:16 [BetsyAnn] Commando eating - WDW does really feel like that a lot
-
21:23:13 [BetsyAnn] A snail day would to get to the park after you wake up - now you may have chosen the park the night before or not - just the first bus that gets there with seats avaiable
21:23:45 [MissBianca] good
21:23:59 [MissBianca] I like that spontaneous approach
21:24:14 [BetsyAnn] On the bus decide if you want a PS any where - get that as you enter the park - then tour in a fashion that will give you the least number of steps to get everything done
21:24:35 [BetsyAnn] No back tracking unless there is a mode of transportation to get yout there
21:24:55 [MissBianca] ah, yes, very important!
21:24:57 [BetsyAnn] Which makes FP a pain cause you either must walk to
get it or walk back to use it!
21:25:30 [justjan] We just don't have good FP luck - too long a time - backtracking etc
21:25:35 [MissBianca] right, now I see
21:26:01 [MissBianca] the best way to do FP is to have one person go for the FPs and let the snails catch up
21:26:02 [BetsyAnn] If you are tried at any point - sit down and take a break to people watch, or go back to the room for a nap
21:26:38 [DisneyPam] I'm not a huge fan of FP...I use it sometimes but honestly, not very often.
21:26:49 [BetsyAnn] Snails always find shows to watch
21:27:09 [MissBianca] ooo, so do Lazy Butts on wheels
21:27:14 [BetsyAnn] I tend to use FP to double ride a E- ticket ride- like Splash or Space or whatever
21:27:32 [MissBianca] Why is that, Pam, does it have something to do with the number of times you've been there?
21:27:43 [BetsyAnn] I must walk at Disney to work off the food we eat!
21:27:57 [justjan] Since I do the planning and am the "expert", when we get to DW suddenly my DH can't read or find his way anywhere so splitting up does not work - it is silly
21:28:18 [MissBianca] LOL, justjan!
21:28:28 [BetsyAnn] LOL Jan -
21:29:01 [MissBianca] Jan, that sounds like something my father would do.
21:29:09 [BetsyAnn] Jan what would a typical day at Disney look like to you?
21:30:08 [justjan] Get up and go to our preselected park - do whatever things appeal to the group, decide if we are doing shows or not as we go and usually leave to go to another place for PS for dinner
21:31:52 [BetsyAnn] That shoulds like a good plan, Jan
21:32:12 [MissBianca] so do you have a list of priorities worked out or do you discuss what to do before you get to the park?
21:33:22 [justjan] I have a 6 year old who has been there 6 times in the past 3 years, so we follow his lead and don't feel pressured to go on rides that he doesn't want to at the time
21:34:04 [MissBianca] ah you have a priority and his name is?
21:34:12 [justjan] When we get tired or "finished" for the day at the park we are at - we leave and do something else, swimmingm crafts at the hotels, whatever
21:34:28 [justjan] His name is John
21:34:43 [MissBianca]
21:35:32 [BetsyAnn] Very cool Jan - that is a great way to keep the children happy
21:36:12 [justjan] We now try to go for special events - MNSSHP, MVMCP etc so that there is something special
21:36:36 [MissBianca] do you live near WDW, Jan?
21:36:57 [BetsyAnn] MissB what does a typical day at Disney look like for you?
21:37:03 [justjan] I always feel sorry for the kids who are hot and tired and are being convinced that they really want to do something - not too much fun!
21:37:14 [justjan] Miss B - we live near Chicago
21:37:20 [MissBianca] right, Jan, fun is not about doing it all
21:37:33 [MissBianca] ah, my husband is from Southern Illinois
21:37:54 [MissBianca] Okay, our day would start with a lateish arrival after breakfast in bed.
21:38:16 [BetsyAnn] Me, too Jan - it is the adventure not the list of things - stopping and smelling the roses is half the fun
21:38:29 [BetsyAnn] * BetsyAnn wants to stay with MissB!
21:38:34 [MissBianca] We'd have 2 or 3 priorities picked out and Bernard will go for a FP if needed.
21:39:12 [MissBianca] Between priorities, we'll catch things with short lines and admire the gardens.
21:39:23 [MissBianca] Oh, and shop--I never met a Disney shop I didn't love.
21:39:35 [MissBianca] Note I didn't say buy...just try on allllll the hats
21:39:42 [BetsyAnn] shopping one of my favorites
21:39:53 [justjan] Agree BA
21:39:58 [DisneyPam] sounds like a good plan to me MissB. Although I am a little partial to an early start.
21:39:59 [MissBianca] we usually go back to the hotel at some point and almost always spend the evening at Epcot
21:40:25 [MissBianca] I wish I were more of a morning person, but we make up for it by going when it's least crowded.
21:40:36 [BetsyAnn] Good plan MissB
21:40:50 [MissBianca] We don't do a lot some days but we feel really great!
21:41:14 [BetsyAnn] I really hope Disney keeps the evening Magic hours - that would help us westerners a lot
21:41:19 [BetsyAnn] Hey Travis!
21:41:29 [DisneyPam] howdy Travis.
21:41:32 [MissBianca] Hi Travis
21:41:45 [BetsyAnn] Welcome to How do you “do” the Parks! We are talking about touring styles - Which are you commando, lazy butt or somewhere in between?
21:41:48 [DisneyPam] As a local, I really don't care for the evening EMH b/c I feel gypped.
21:41:52 [MissBianca] I hope so too! I'm really a night owl and being so far East just makes it worse.
21:42:07 [MissBianca] Aw, Pam 
21:42:10 [DisneyPam] but I do think it is a cool perk if you are a resort guest.
21:42:28 [MissBianca] Just think of how much more gypped you'd feel if you lived 4500 miles away!
21:42:38 [BetsyAnn] How so Pam?
21:43:10 [Travis] Hi Guys!
21:43:27 [DisneyPam] how is it cool or how do I feel gypped?
21:43:59 [BetsyAnn] either one - but I was thinking gyped
21:44:13 [Travis] so is this just a free chat tonight?
21:44:26 [BetsyAnn] What would be a typical day at Disney for you Travis?
21:44:38 [DisneyPam] I guess I feel gypped b/c as a local, it is not really realistic to stay on property but yet I LOVE being in the parks late at night. So it is kind of a gyp that they don't have something like that for central FL residents or AP holders....
21:44:49 [BetsyAnn] Touring styles for the next 15 minutes or so Travis!
21:45:07 [DisneyPam] I would love to be able to hang out at Epcot until
midnight.
21:45:24 [Travis] Boy, I'm having a lot of trouble tonight...i keeps freezing in here!
21:45:47 [MissBianca] *brr
21:45:57 [BetsyAnn] I can understand that Pam
21:46:11 [MissBianca] I think the should have a few late-nights open to you Florida residents!
21:46:13 [BetsyAnn] Sorry Travis it has been happening lately!
21:46:23 [MissBianca] Meet you at Epcot!
21:46:36 [BetsyAnn] AP can't do extra magic hours?
21:48:52 [BetsyAnn] Any other thoughts on touring the parks?
21:48:54 [DisneyPam] nope ... just on-site guests afaik
21:49:21 [MissBianca] If anyone has family members who can't wak so far, scooters are totally terrific.
21:49:54 [MissBianca] Makes me be able to do anything the fleet of foot can
21:50:41 [BetsyAnn] I agree MissB -
21:50:49 [justjan] Good Suggestion Miss B
21:51:31 [MissBianca] It's best for waiting for parades!
21:51:45 [DisneyPam] lol MissB!
21:51:49 [BetsyAnn] Are parades a must do for all of you?
21:52:09 [MissBianca] No...but I love them when it works out!
21:52:21 [MissBianca] Illuminations is a Must Do.
21:52:34 [justjan] We try to see them but if we need to leave - we just leave
21:53:21 [BetsyAnn] Me, too - I do love the special parade at MVMCP
21:53:42 [BetsyAnn] Have not seen Illuminations for a number of trips now
21:53:46 [MissBianca] We found the best spot for that in December!
21:54:07 [MissBianca] BA, you HAVE to stay with me 
how
can you miss that?
21:54:16 [DisneyPam] MissB....we'll have to get together for IllumiNations....
21:54:30 [MissBianca] OOoooh, perfect!
21:54:34 [BetsyAnn] Been with others who are ready to go before then
21:54:41 [DisneyPam] and BA - as part of the touring plan...we should plan a Mission Space Race competition. LOL
21:54:45 [MissBianca] Epcot at night is just the most magical place of all!
21:54:55 [BetsyAnn] For some reason, just don't get back to Epcot at night
21:55:00 [BetsyAnn] I agree Pam
21:55:23 [justjan] I love Epcot at night as well as MK at night - so beautiful
21:55:31 [MissBianca] That's the best thing about the BC, World Showcase is practically at the resot
21:56:02 [MissBianca] I have so loved the thread on the Mission Space Race--you need to have a tournament
21:56:07 [MissBianca] round robin or something
21:56:08 [BetsyAnn] We tend to be some place else in the evening for some reason
21:56:16 [Travis] Hey B....sis you book your mexican cruise!! 
21:56:38 [justjan] We usually have one dinner at Garden Grill and plan it for a little later than usual so that we can get a little rest and then my son can make it through Illuminations.
21:56:41 [BetsyAnn] I think we can do a tournment on line using a window in the chat room and a window on the game
21:56:55 [BetsyAnn] not yet Travis
21:56:57 [MissBianca] That's a great plan--and a fun restaurant!
21:57:02 [BetsyAnn]
21:57:14 [BetsyAnn] I love Garden Grill
21:57:23 [justjan] Is there a chat room on Mission Space Game - I haven't found ityet????
21:57:41 [MissBianca] I think BA means this one!
21:57:52 [BetsyAnn] Jan we would open this chat room then open the game in another window on our computers to play the game
21:58:25 [MissBianca] how many play at one time?
21:58:25 [justjan] OHH - cool - I have seen a few folks playing while I have been there - the Epcot folks are always offline though
21:58:50 [BetsyAnn] I think a lot can play - they have tons of ships
21:59:08 [DisneyPam] at Epcot there are 2 teams of 4 astronauts and 12
mission controllers each.
21:59:13 [BetsyAnn] Travis are they doing a cruise to take the ship to Disneyland?
21:59:17 [MissBianca] Bernard tried it but I haven't yet--you ringers scared
me off
21:59:25 [justjan] It is pretty addicting - but frustrating when you have a goofball crew on your ship
21:59:34 [MissBianca] lol
21:59:40 [MissBianca] Dennis has been playing ?
21:59:46 [Travis] No we are doing the cruise back to florida
21:59:46 [BetsyAnn] It is really easy and fun MissB - you can practice before you really play
22:00:02 [MissBianca] Oh, that's great to know!
22:00:04 [justjan] If I can play it has to be simple Miss B
22:00:08 [MissBianca] All right
22:00:18 [Travis] the price is going out of this world! its almost 5000 more then what i paid!!!!
22:00:22 [BetsyAnn] I remember that Travis but
is Disney doing a cruise too move the ship to California?
22:00:42 [Travis] yep......its sold out
22:00:49 [Travis] and i think ours is too
22:00:58 [BetsyAnn] I think Tagrel and KLF are very good at it and Pam or SpacePrincess is also very good
22:01:16 [BetsyAnn] Dang - I waited too long to decide - maybe one of the other cruises
22:01:59 [justjan] They are BA - always ahead of me - there must be some tricks that I haven't figured out yet
22:02:13 [Travis] ohh still some B
22:02:22 [Travis] but really expensive!
22:02:40 [Travis] what catagory?
22:02:47 [BetsyAnn] Well, maybe I will just spend more time at Dl next year!
22:02:53 [MissBianca] yeah!
22:03:09 [BetsyAnn] I need cheap - Travis - I need cheap
22:03:15 [MissBianca] okay, I've got to go have dinner--great chat Betsy. Good to see all of you!
22:03:19 [DisneyPam] LOL....I just get a lot of practice over at Epcot. For a while I was spending a couple hrs a day several times a week over there.
22:03:35 [BetsyAnn] Goodnight MissB!
22:03:46 [DisneyPam] I would do better if I had a better 'puter but mine is 6 years old and pretty slow and tempermental.
22:03:47 [Travis] for cat.11 for 2 5069.78
22:04:08 [BetsyAnn] That is a ton for 7 days
22:04:21 [Travis] no that is for the `14 form FL to CA
22:04:40 [Travis] actually the 7 is almost that much
22:04:55 [BetsyAnn] Oh that is much better- is everything sold out?
22:05:36 [Travis] cat 4-11 for the 14 day is showing rates
22:05:56 [BetsyAnn] Hmm - very interesting - might have to go look
22:05:57 [Travis] must be all the people that didn't pay the deposits
22:06:46 [BetsyAnn] what site are you looking at, travis
22:07:06 [Travis] disneycruise.com
