If you still need some comp tickets let me know. I can get them to those that need them at the Boma meet. Also, I'll be in Fantasyland (Philhar/dumbo, though I may get pulled to pooh side or Pan refurb test/adjust) on March 7, 8, and I put in to work a few days of my spring break (3/9-3/15), won't know the schedule until Sunday.

As someone who might want to make the BOMA trip, can someone fill me on what they serve/prices? Remember, theme park employee, what's this money thing people talk about?

If you have celiac, allergies, or other dietary needs then have the person notify WDW so they can plan for a chef to walk you through the buffet and if necessary buy special foods. Upon arriving the person with the reservation should notify the hostess of a prior notification of special diets.

Yes, they will puree or dice your dinner if you need it that way for medical reasons as well as make allergen free dinners.

Churchy covered the menu pretty well. It is buffet style serving, and you can make as many trips to the buffet line as you like.

Boma is located inside Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. (note: NOT the theme park. No theme park admission is required :) )

I am informed that I booked the wrong days for the BL's visit. Don't painc, I fixed it. They'll be at Pop Century from 2 thru 14 March (unless I can work some major magic at the Big Toaster on Sunday).

The ladies are also booked on Magical Express. Somebody ought to tell them about that in case they don't get their luggage tags in time.

BW, I understand you'll be making a deposit on their stay. If you run short, let me know, SWMBO willing, I may be able to float some of it while we beg a bit more. (Hmm, maybe if we tell our DL friends we're holding them hostage....)

Last point: Has anyone told the ladies about my Misguided Tour? They may not be up for it; after all, they've visited DL perhaps as often as I've visited MK. If no one has, I'll PM them with the details and let them make a choice.

Okay, *really* last point: I understand they may need scooters. Has anyone booked a couple of rentals for them? It's normally about 75% the price of renting at the Parks, plus you have them all day. LMK

[KidAtHeart]

I haven't let them know about ME yet, Zazu, so please, feel free to let them know! Neither have I let them know about your tour. I know they're wanting to do and see everything they can, but please, let them know about the tour so they can make up their own minds.

As to the scooters...typically, at DL, they rent a stroller to haul all their stuff around in and simply walk, themselves. Unfortunately, we don't have the funds available to pay for ECV's or scooters for them. At this point, the decision was, if needed, to get manual wheelchairs. I can push, as needed, as can BW (on the days he's available). It's not ideal, but it's what we have funds for.

I talked to Elyse today for an extended amount of time and YES! she at least (havent talked to Elena yet) is looking forward to your tour Zazu.

They're on their way.

Bubbles were seen trailing after a Denver-bound airliner this afternoon in Los Angeles.

There was an hour delay in Denver as the good folk there wanted a good look at these wonderful women.

Now...they wing their way to Orlando.

I can't wait to hear the reports when they come home.

Thank you one and all for all y'all have been doing.
