21:03:42 [LimeGreenC] Hit twirlergirl, welcome to Mickey Mic
21:04:01 [TwirlerGir] Hey'
21:04:09 [WillCAD] Hey hidey ho, Disney neighbors.
21:04:19 [LimeGreenC] Hi WillCAD Welcome to Mickey Mic
21:04:39 [LimeGreenC] We'll get started in just a few minutes
21:04:57 [LimeGreenC] Will, any more news on if the hurricane is gonna get you?
21:05:07 [WillCAD] Anybody watch the John Ritter special?
21:05:32 [WillCAD] Well, the storm is coming here, but it sure isn't gonna get ME!
21:05:52 [LimeGreenC] Hi Collette, Welcome to Mickey Mic
21:06:06 [Collette] hi everyone
21:06:22 [LimeGreenC] I didn't see the special, I was at the ballpark, (Oh the joys of a soccer and softball mom)
21:06:37 [Collette] i didn't see the special. was it a nice tribute to him?
21:06:41 [TwirlerGir] Just got in from work, did I miss the John Ritter Special?
21:07:09 [LimeGreenC] Well, are we ready to get started
21:07:21 [WillCAD] It was great. Mostly funny stuff from all his work, but a little depressing as they talked about the day he died.
21:07:37 [LimeGreenC] Hi faithscrap, Welcome to Mickey mic
21:07:51 [WillCAD] Still, I laughed through most of it.
21:07:55 [faithscrap] Hi, everyone
21:08:16 [LimeGreenC] sounds like a great tribute WillCAD
21:08:56 [LimeGreenC] Ok, let's start off by opening the floor, does anyone have a question?
21:09:08 [LimeGreenC] Or a tip?
21:09:17 [LimeGreenC] Or just want to share the excitment?
21:09:39 [WillCAD] Here's one I posted on Passporter this week: Can I use my Disney Store gift card at WDW?
21:09:49 [Collette] i do 
in one of the posts on the boards, i read about spaceship earth closing
in 2005. does anyone know if that will be in january of that year?
21:10:23 [LimeGreenC] Will, did you get an answer? i don't that answer
21:10:34 [BetsyAnn] Hello everyone -- I think I am here now!
21:10:46 [LimeGreenC] Hi Betsyann, WB!
21:10:54 [WillCAD] One person posted no, but I can still hope they were wrong.
21:11:15 [LimeGreenC] Collette, I've heard rumors about that but I'm not sure, let me do some checking brb
21:11:22 [faithscrap] Can you get Disney Dollars at the Disney store?
21:11:47 [WillCAD] You sure can Faith. Any Disney store anywhere.
21:12:03 [Collette] we could, faith
21:12:18 [BetsyAnn] Did a couple of weeks ago, Faith
21:12:19 [faithscrap] Could you have them convert the gift card to Disney dollars?
21:12:30 [faithscrap] Or do you just want to take the card with you?
21:12:50 [BetsyAnn] Great question faith -
21:13:22 [BetsyAnn] Will - you should be able to use your Disney gift card at DD world of disney
21:13:23 [WillCAD] I have lots of Disney Dollars saved up already, but I thought the card wouild be easier and more convenient than carrying a wad of DD$.
21:13:39 [LimeGreenC] ok, on http://www.screamscape.com it says that there may be a snag in the "Project Gemini" because of the structure of the geosphere
21:14:10 [TwirlerGir] What's up with DW being sued because of cost over runs on Missions:Space?
21:14:21 [LimeGreenC] you can't use the gift card at World of Disney, because it is different from the Disney Store
21:14:44 [WillCAD] Spaceship Earth might be a little slow but I hate the thought of losing it for a cheap thrill ride.
21:14:59 [LimeGreenC] I had seen something at the Disney Store as was going to get it at WoD, but they informed me that they were "two different companies"
21:16:09 [Collette] I've only been to WDW twice and may not get back until January 2005. I would not be happy if I couldn't ride SE at least one more time.
21:16:17 [BetsyAnn] I am researching that right now LG! 
21:16:54 [LimeGreenC] Collette, I think you may be safe, especially if it is hitting a "snag"
21:17:00 [LimeGreenC] key word being "think". LOL
21:17:02 [WillCAD] Oh, everybody sues for everything now. Except me.
21:17:44 [WillCAD] I wish I could sue somebody, I could use the money. But those pesky 'ethics' get in the way, and I find that I'd only sue somebody for a good reason.
21:17:52 [BetsyAnn] and I am having no luck yet! 
21:17:52 [Collette] thanks lgc. i will keep hoping and will checkout screamscape.
21:18:04 [LimeGreenC] LOL WillCAD
21:18:19 [WillCAD] Ethics stink don't they?
21:18:41 [LimeGreenC] I've not heard about a suit because of Mission:Space, what did I miss?
21:18:45 [Collette] yes they do. but we sleep better at night, don't we ?
21:19:04 [LimeGreenC] they do tend to get in the way WillCAD, so do morals.
21:19:13 [BetsyAnn] lol will
21:19:40 [faithscrap] WillCAD, I just called the Disney Store's guest services 800 number. They said the theme park stores don't have the capability to take the Disney Store gift cards yet.
21:19:45 [WillCAD] I have reflux so I don't sleep anyway. If I had some more money I'd probably sleep better.
21:19:58 [faithscrap] Which sounds like maybe they plan on setting the computers up to have access to the amounts in them.
21:20:01 [BetsyAnn] http://orlando.bizjournals.com/orlando/stories/2003/08/04/story2.html?t=printable link to new article
21:20:45 [LimeGreenC] faithscrap, thanks for calling, that was so nice of you!
21:20:50 [WillCAD] Hm, "Yet" sounds promissing. Those gift cards are nice for people who stay off site and can't charge to thier rooms.
21:20:56 [Collette] ...and dream about spending it!!!
21:20:57 [faithscrap] Phooey. I would have liked to get a card for my daughter on our trip.
21:21:09 [WillCAD] And thanks for calling Faith, that was way above and beyond.
21:21:14 [faithscrap] Well, I had an ulterior motive! I wanted one, too.
21:21:22 [LimeGreenC] WillCAD,
if you had more money, you'd just use it on reflux drugs, they are
expensive, I know from experience, but that is another topic
21:21:47 [LimeGreenC] LOL faith, you didn't have to tell us that!
21:21:56 [faithscrap] My daughter is 10 (will be 11 when we take our trip) and she LOVES using gift cards
21:22:10 [faithscrap] those darn ethics get in the way all the time! LOL
21:22:47 [faithscrap] Maybe they'll have the gift cards hooked to theme park stores by October 2004
21:22:52 [LimeGreenC] I'm still confused about what the law suit for Mission:Space is about
21:23:24 [WillCAD] I hope they'll have them hooked up by December 2003!
21:23:33 [LimeGreenC] I'll just have to read that article to digest it LOL
21:23:40 [WillCAD] But if not, I'll just have to lug a bunch of Disney Dollars with me.
21:23:59 [TwirlerGir] Thanks, BetsyAnn for the info on Mission:Space. $15 million for cost over runs is quite a bit of $$$'s.
21:24:07 [LimeGreenC] Will, I always lug DD with me. I only take a certain amount per day though
21:24:17 [BetsyAnn] That is what I thought too -
21:24:36 [BetsyAnn] Will - have you thought about a debt card -- just a thought!
21:24:59 [LimeGreenC] ROFLOL Betsyann, a DEBT card. ROFLOL
21:25:21 [LimeGreenC] * LimeGreenC who has lots of debt cards. ROFLOL
21:26:09 [LimeGreenC] Does anybody have anything planned for an upcoming trip, they are really excited about?
21:26:33 [BetsyAnn] LimeGreenC> whatever! 
21:26:39 [faithscrap] We are just starting the planning process for October 2004
21:26:49 [faithscrap] Hoping we can budget some days for AKL concierge
21:27:14 [LimeGreenC] faith, that sounds exciting.
21:27:21 [BetsyAnn] We get to stay at AKL for a few nights
21:27:29 [LimeGreenC] faith, will you split your stay or all at AKL?
21:27:39 [faithscrap] we stayed at AKL savannah view 5 nights in October 2002
21:27:43 [WillCAD] I can't use the Disney Dollars I already have to buy debt cards
21:27:52 [faithscrap] In 2004, we'll probably have 7 days at CBR and 5 at AKL, at least savannah view
21:28:11 [BetsyAnn] debit card - geez
21:28:22 [Collette] I wish I had an upcoming trip. 2005 seems so very far away...but, when we go, we are going to cirque de soleil and doing keys to the kingdom.
21:28:30 [TwirlerGir] MVMCP on 12/16, it will be our first time for the party. We also have PS for LTT that night.
21:28:48 [WillCAD] Collette why so long between trips?
21:28:52 [BetsyAnn] That will be fun Twirler girl
21:29:00 [BetsyAnn] Did you love the AKL faith
21:29:00 [faithscrap] we're hoping to do MNSSHP when we go. It all depends on when the schools decide fall break will be
21:29:13 [LimeGreenC] Those sound like great resort plans Faith
21:29:14 [BetsyAnn] 2005 will be here quicker than you think Collette
21:29:22 [faithscrap] YES!!!! Made me almost want to never stay any place but AKL
21:29:39 [faithscrap] Departure day I very nearly started crying as we walked out the door to the car
21:29:41 [LimeGreenC] collette, it is great just having a trip on the books, it'll be here before you know it
21:29:48 [WillCAD] Hi MJ
21:30:05 [Collette] no money. two kids in college. and no one shares my
idea of putting every last sent into Disney trips what's the
matter with them anyway?
21:30:09 [LimeGreenC] twirlergirl, you will LOVE the MVMCP, the parade is the best!
21:30:12 [BetsyAnn] Great Faith - we are doing All stars for most of the trip to get to AKL savannah view! I can hardly wait
21:30:15 [faithscrap] Collette, and just think of all the fun planning-time you have
21:30:23 [faithscrap] Planning is half the fun for our family
21:30:24 [LimeGreenC] Hi MargaretJ, Welcome to Mickey Mic
21:30:37 [BetsyAnn] lol Collette
21:30:41 [BetsyAnn] Hey MJ!
21:30:42 [MargaretJ] Hi guys
21:30:51 [faithscrap] BetsyAnn, last time we did 2 days at All Star Movies (dalmatian room) followed by the AKL
21:30:53 [Collette] that would be "cent"
21:31:15 [faithscrap] It was supposed to be CBR the last 5 days, until they closed it for renovation and we got an upgrade rate we couldn't pass up
21:31:16 [MargaretJ] AKL is just about my favorite resort.
21:31:19 [BetsyAnn] We are doing music then AKL - but most of the time is at Music
21:31:27 [LimeGreenC] Collette, I know how you feel, but I'm slowly convincing them!
21:31:31 [WillCAD] Much as I love planning a Disney trip, I'd go nuts waiting 2 years in between.
21:31:48 [Collette] i love the planning, too, faith!
21:32:05 [faithscrap] We tend to wait 2 years so we can save up enough to eat LOTS of character meals and PS meals in Epcot
21:32:07 [BetsyAnn] 2004 may be a Disney free year - unless ....
21:32:21 [Collette] so you can feel my pain WillCAD!!!!
21:32:35 [BetsyAnn] I figure out how to do a cruise and Disney in the same year!
21:32:39 [faithscrap] Although, this time we're staying long enough that Annual Passes make sense, which may mean a trip back in March to stay at Pop Century
21:32:39 [LimeGreenC] unless what Betsyann?
21:32:53 [WillCAD] Plan a cheappie trip. Stay off-site for 4 days instead of on-site for 8.
21:33:38 [BetsyAnn] I have to travel so far to WDW that it needs to be for at least a week - but DL is very close - might be able to sneak over for a few days
21:33:44 [TwirlerGir] I plan our trips, our friends and anyone who asks. I just wish I could get paid for it. Now there's a drean jib!
21:33:46 [Collette] one of our problems is flying out of Minneapolis - never a cheap flight plus we are 3 hours from there.
21:33:56 [LimeGreenC] faithscrap, we got AP's in July, and I was shocked my my DH suggested we go back for spring break (we already going again in Decmeber)
21:34:00 [faithscrap] I almost wish DH would try to get a job as an Imagineer.
21:34:14 [MargaretJ] faith good idea. We got 9 days at AKL last summer, 4 nights at Boardwalk last Dec & split stay of 10 nights at CSR & AKL this June with our AP's. May not be able to do that for next trip.
21:34:27 [LimeGreenC] that would be a dream job Twirlergirl
21:34:28 [WillCAD] Time to move Collette
21:34:43 [faithscrap] Hey, if the man can write software that runs the space station, he ought to be able to write it to run attractions! LOL
21:34:48 [BetsyAnn] I was thinking about doing the lunch with an Imagineer -- that is one I almost can not pass up
21:34:48 [WillCAD] TG, see if any of the Disney travel agencies is hiring!
21:35:24 [faithscrap] Oh, if we had APs, we'd be going any time I could put the money together
21:35:36 [TwirlerGir] I wish!
21:35:36 [faithscrap] BetsyAnn, I just found out they are doing that. DH would LOVE it!
21:36:10 [LimeGreenC] Betsyann, how do you prepare for lunch with an imagineer?
21:36:16 [MargaretJ] Yes the AP's do make you plan more trips but they really make sense if you use for your 2 Summer trips.
21:36:39 [MargaretJ] They have Dinner with an Imagineer now also
21:36:44 [WillCAD] 1. Make sure you're hungry.
21:37:05 [WillCAD] 2. Compile a list of questions on attractions at all the Disney theme parks.
21:37:07 [MargaretJ] Make sure your pants are zipped
21:37:19 [MargaretJ] Don't spill food on your chest
21:37:29 [WillCAD] 3. Bring Zantac
21:37:33 [LimeGreenC] ROFLOL MargaretJ!
21:37:42 [MargaretJ] Oh sorry that was Moley's lunch with an Imagineer - lol
21:37:56 [LimeGreenC] ok, now I know i can't do lunch with an Imagineer
21:38:09 [BetsyAnn] lol
21:38:12 [BetsyAnn] everyone
21:38:24 [TwirlerGir] 4. Bring lots of $$$, it's expensive!
21:38:38 [BetsyAnn] Just be yourself - these people put their pants on one leg at a time
21:38:53 [LimeGreenC] I'm thinking you'd have to have a list of questions or else you'll look like a hillbilly with that 'duh" look on your face
21:38:55 [BetsyAnn] and it is very expensive but once in a lifetime opporuntiy
21:39:11 [LimeGreenC] not you Betsyann, I mean "one would look like a hillbilly". LOL
21:39:11 [WillCAD] Who knows, they are Imagineers, maybe they jump in both legs at once.
21:39:55 [LimeGreenC] LOl WillCAD
21:40:37 [WillCAD] I'd rather have lunch with Eisner. I have LOTS to say to him!
21:40:54 [WillCAD] Of course, I'm sure he could pick up the tab for that one.
21:40:58 [faithscrap] Or, if they're like the physicist my dad once worked with, they don't put their pants on at all before going to work!
21:41:01 [LimeGreenC] What would you say to him Will?
21:41:06 [faithscrap] True absent-minded professor
21:41:13 [TwirlerGir] That's one I paid big bucks for!
21:41:32 [LimeGreenC] LOL faith
21:41:34 [WillCAD] Here's a good one: What one thing would you tell Eisner if you could have lunch with him?
21:42:12 [WillCAD] I'd tell him Dump ABC and stop using the parks to fund money-losing stuff.
21:42:27 [WillCAD] BUILD UP THE PARKS.
21:42:36 [LimeGreenC] I would tell him the same thing Will, (now that's scary)
21:42:46 [LimeGreenC] dump ABC, it's sucking you dry man!
21:43:53 [WillCAD] I sometimes wonder if anybody at Disney knows what "The Internet" is except thier lawyers. There are so many great opinions on message board sites like Tagrel and Passporter and they ignore all of them!
21:44:15 [TwirlerGir] I would tell him to invest in park maintenance and safety measures for the rides.
21:45:11 [WillCAD] New attractions, new resorts, new policies and tours, there is so much love for the Disney parks here they would become money-making machines if Disney would just pay some attention to US!
21:45:22 [LimeGreenC] it's too bad they don't weigh what internet folks have to say, after all, we are their bread and butter
21:45:39 [LimeGreenC] that is a great point TG,
21:46:02 [LimeGreenC] I have to wonder, if there were safety belts and not just the safety bar, would that person have been killed at DL
21:47:32 [LimeGreenC] Is there anyplace you're planning on eating for your next trip you are excited about?
21:47:43 [WillCAD] Lots of people were hurt besides the guy who was killed. I don't think the belts would have helped too much.
21:48:05 [WillCAD] Trails End! I've heard great things about it.
21:48:09 [LimeGreenC] I've got one possibly two meals that I alone get to choose and I can't decide
21:48:33 [LimeGreenC] I don't think you'll be disappointed WillCAD
21:48:34 [MargaretJ] I want to eat at 'Ohana again but Matt is not too excited about it.
21:48:56 [WillCAD] I loved 'Ohana. I will definitely go back next trip.
21:48:56 [LimeGreenC] I'm thinking I'll choose something in WS at Epcot, but I can't decide
21:49:08 [LimeGreenC] oh I want to try Ohana
21:49:43 [BetsyAnn] sorry guys I got to run -- Thanks - fun chat!
21:49:49 [TwirlerGir] Le Cellier after CP on 12/14. It's another first time thingy.
21:49:54 [LimeGreenC] I would also love to try the tonga toast at kona
21:49:59 [LimeGreenC] bye Betsyann
21:50:08 [Collette] Lots: Boma, Kona, Tangierine Cafe, Beaches and Cream, SciFi, 'Ohana, Plaza Restaurant, Pecos Bill, Trails End and maybe LeCellier.
21:50:13 [WillCAD] Try Akershaus Cheri. I love it there.
21:50:27 [LimeGreenC] I've heard the soup at le Cellier, is wonderful
21:50:36 [Collette] I love the tonga toast!!! and the pot stickers!!
21:50:55 [LimeGreenC] and Collette, Pecos Bill's is our favorite counter service in MK
21:50:59 [MargaretJ] Love LeCellier, Beaches & Cream, Boma
21:51:00 [TwirlerGir] Here's another vote for Ohana's. We've had breakfast there, now I want to try dinner.
21:51:07 [LimeGreenC] Akershaus, which country is that?
21:51:14 [faithscrap] Oh, Akershus is wonderful. Norway
21:51:33 [faithscrap] then again, my great-grandparents were from Sweden, so it's in my blood
21:51:39 [WillCAD] I made a list of places I want to have dinner on my trip, in two parts.
21:51:40 [Collette] Last time we went to Flying Fish. It was WAY too expensive for me to even enjoy my food.
21:51:52 [MargaretJ] I am afraid Matt would not find enough to eat at Akershus
21:52:08 [WillCAD] Places I've been before and want to go back: Chef Mickey's, Akershaus, 'Ohana
21:52:27 [LimeGreenC] It's just so hard to decide, they all sound so wonderful
21:52:36 [WillCAD] Places I've never been before: California Grill, Jiko, Hollywood & Vine, San Angel Inn.
21:52:41 [LimeGreenC] and I'm also a wee bit picky
21:52:57 [MargaretJ] We love Teppanyaki
21:53:23 [LimeGreenC] Is Teppanyakei where they cook infront of you?
21:53:37 [Collette] I want to try Teppanyaki, too!! I think I'm going to run out of days.
21:53:46 [MargaretJ] Yes at Japan. We go there every trip.
21:54:03 [MargaretJ] Go at lunch - great prices then.
21:54:35 [MargaretJ] Jiko is wonderful also.
21:54:41 [TwirlerGir] Got to go, DH just got in from work and he's hungry. Bye all!
21:54:49 [MargaretJ] Bit on the expensive side but very good food.
21:54:59 [LimeGreenC] bye TG
21:55:02 [WillCAD] Bye TG
21:55:04 [MargaretJ] Nite TwirlerGirl
21:55:14 [Collette] me, too. thanks everyone!! nite all!!
21:55:28 [LimeGreenC] night Collette
21:55:29 [MargaretJ] Nite Collette
21:55:52 [MargaretJ] Anyone ever eater at Alfredo's or Tony's?
21:55:53 [WillCAD] Nite Collette
21:55:54 [LimeGreenC] Well, are we ready to call it night everybody?
21:56:07 [LimeGreenC] I have at Alfredo's and I wasn't impressed
21:56:07 [MargaretJ] eater = eaten
21:56:21 [WillCAD] I had breakfast at Tonys once. It was fabulous, but they stopped serving breakfast there.
21:56:35 [MargaretJ] The food looked good but seems expensive
21:56:39 [WillCAD] Hi Pam
21:56:52 [DisneyPam] hey kids...
21:56:52 [MargaretJ] I thought maybe lunch for Tony's
21:56:58 [LimeGreenC] Hi Pam, long time no see
21:56:59 [MargaretJ] Hi Pammy
21:57:28 [DisneyPam] I know Cheri - its been tough...working nights means I miss chats.
21:57:42 [LimeGreenC] are you liking it though Pam?
21:57:55 [DisneyPam] I've not been impressed with Tony's. And I've heard Alfredos is overrated.
21:58:24 [DisneyPam] I do like it Cheri. It is a fun show and good food.
Co-workers are nice and it is a paycheck.
21:58:46 [MargaretJ] We tend to eat at many of the same places but try to go to one or 2 new places each trip.
21:59:06 [DisneyPam] I actually went to Nine Dragons last month and was very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent. It is expensive for Chinese but very very good.
21:59:06 [LimeGreenC] I'm glad Pam, and having nice coworkers means alot to me
21:59:23 [LimeGreenC] ok, folks,I've got to run, thanks everybody, it was fun
21:59:30 [MargaretJ] I thought that would be a good place to try also Pammy
21:59:32 [WillCAD] I tend to eat counter service a lot, but this trip I will have a pretty good food budget thanks to my Disney Dollars, so I plan on eating well the whole trip.
21:59:39 [WillCAD] Nite Cheri
21:59:42 [MargaretJ] Nite Cheri
22:00:05 [MargaretJ] You will love it Will
22:00:44 [DisneyPam] MJ - they have a lunch "feast" kind of thing that supposed to be wonderful.
22:00:48 [MargaretJ] I guess I better run. Talk to you guys later.
22:01:14 [WillCAD] Time for me to fly too.
