Despite spending copious amounts of timing planning for my Oct WDW trip over the last weekend, the EMH acronym through me when I read it. My first thought was "Why would Disney be trying to do some sort of Star Trek Voyager tie in?" :D:

That's the problem...the calendar says one thing and the list says another. Which to believe? I wait to believe anything till it announced on the official site which is where I was looking originally for info and that is why it is confusing. I am hoping that it just was a typo when they updated the calendar.

If they are wiretapping they must be doing it thru the computer since I dont have a landline phone or any connections to the phone company whatsoever. :cool:

Ok...i just checked the official site and now they have the EMH at MGM on the 14th and EMH at EP on the 15th. But the list still states the opposite. They need to make up their minds so I can plan accordingly. I was just wondering if they did switch them what about the ppl who had ADR's in those hours?????

OH GOOD LORD! After spending close to an hour on the phone with Dining and Guest services here is what I was told.
Well, First with Dining....Just asked what the latest ADR I could make(not latest available) at Epcot on the 14 was. 10PM Within 15 minutes of talking to her(she was confused too) that had changed to 8;45PM and her computer said that both dates (official calendar ones) showed Morning EMH for both parks. :confused: She connected me to Guest Services (i think)
and they were really confusing.
When I 1st asked which was a morning and which was an evening she said both were mornings. After talking for a bit and making her understand that the official website had conflicting info, I was told that MGM on the 14 was eve and EP on the 15 was morn. Soooooo....now that leaves EPcot with NO eve EMH that week and MGM with no morn EMH that week. And only that week. Just out of curiousity, how often does that happen.? Since I have no life and peruse the calendar quite a bit, that is the first time I have seen that.
I know I know....stuff is subject to change at any time but I just feel really bad for the folks who made ADR's really late at EPcot that nite and planned on enjoying the park after eating. If it is right, it throws our plans for a bit of a loop but nothing major, we will just hit Epcot all day and MGM for the nite, so it is less time I have to spend at MGM the next day YAY! I just want them to make up their minds so I can make my plans (cant really do spur of the moment with a 4 yr old)

vixen, you're getting caught up into the board x mentality of trying to plan the perfect trip, just go!

Next thing she'll be posting up her minute by minute plans and asking if they look okay and if her strategy is working :D:

The preceding post was meant to be humourous, the poster makes no guarantee's that you will laugh or find it amusing, but he did. It could also mean you have a stick up your butt that needs removing, in that case I would suggest a strong vise attached to a heavy work bench in your garage and perhaps a bucket to catch anyting that might be backed up. If you're read all of this, get a life hehehehe

I'm sorry I couldnt read the small print, I must have Ktulu's eye problem :p:

It's not really that I am trying to plan a perfect trip it is just that we have a short amount of time there (and money--Hi Jethro) and my child is a holy terror. Want her? Trust me with her, you just dont "go". And I want to wear her out as much as possible so she sleeps on the trip back (driving from PA down) Hopefully she will be out cold for all 1000 or so miles and we wont have to hear, "are we there yet" over and over and over. I am so not looking forward to that. A 3 hour ride to Hershey was bad enuf. Now where did I put that childrens tylenol? :D:

BTW....my minute by minute plans and strategy is posted on my pre-trip report on DWT if you feel like going to look....oh wait, Ktulu wont be able to see the fine print so he will never know how obsessive I really am. LOL

Have you set aside a time in your schedule to be spontaneous :D:

Yep all day. Well except for ADR times :rolleyes: I am making Meghyn a little picture calendar/schedule (she is at that age where she likes to count down stuff) so I will have a pic of each park icon on the day and what restaurant we will be eating at and a ride whe will like so she doesnt go "MOM, MOM MOM what are we doing today, MOM?"
Other then that and which park on which day I am spontaneous once I enter the park. We just go on whatever has the least amount of wait when we are near it.

Wow, comparatively I'm quite obsessively over-planned. I, however, am attributing this to the amount of random crap I've already scheduled so I can pre-pay for it (it doesn't hurt so bad if I don't have to pay at the time because I payed a few months in advance) Very Merry Christmas Party, Carriage Ride, Massage at the Grand Floridian, plus dinner every night... Couple all that info with closing times of parks (opening times don't generally matter much to us because we won't be awake for them!) and our schedule pretty much writes itself!

Okay, enough of this board X trip-planning BS, we now return you to your regularly scheduled website:

CM: Knock Knock
SG: Who's there?
CM: A stupid guest!
SG: What the hell!?! Is this some kind of joke? I want to talk to your manager!!!

Did you like that one? Well here's another that's a "Write your own" joke, kinda like those "Choose your own adventure" books:

Question: What did one SG say to the other?
