We were deciding where we would settle for good for years to come.. My wife is from Central Florida, but some of her sisters moved up to Tallahassee.. (Very small compared to Orlando).. One of the biggest factors was being closer to Disney because we want to get Disney passes!! It's brilliant too, because now you can select fast pass options for busy rides up to 30 days in advance. I love the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.. One of my favourites :).

I'm jealous of all the people that are there now...! :rofl:

[...]

I used to live in Naples, in the south west of Florida, so only a few hours away from Orlando. When I lived there for 2 years, we got annual passes as well. Seriously, it was super awesome!

And yes, I heard about the FastPass+ and choosing your selections in advance. I'll be buying my Disney and Universal tickets at the end of July and I should get them mid-August, a little before 30 days for my trip, so I'm reserving right away :)

And yes, I love the Pirates ride. Although, I much prefer Space Mountain! Oh, and Soarin' at Epcot is absolutely amazing! Along with Test Track (although, I haven't been on the updated ride, so that may change).

I haven't been to Epcot yet, but you can believe that's on the LIST! I heard if you are staying in Disney resort, you can book dinner reservations 190 days in advance.. I know my wife wants to try the new Be Our Guest restaurant, and wants to go on the Seven Dwarf ride they just opened. I liked the Crystal Palace we tried, buffet... (And it has Mac N Cheese...Mmmm).

What are you waiting for? CALL CALL CALL ........

Surely, this is a song? ;)

Omg, if you love Magic Kingdom, you'll LOVE Epcot! In the back is a bunch of country pavilions with related shops and dining areas. There's a UK one ;)

They updated the Be Our Guest restaurant? Didn't know that! I've fallen out of the loop, lol! I have heard about that new Dwarf ride though. Hopefully the lines aren't too busy when I go.

I think they added new bits to it? Not sure :P. I know they re-vamped the whole Fantasy land since 2009. I know Shannon wants to go on The Little Mermaid ride.. (her favourite ..) I told her she should go be Ariel at Disney.. :rofl:

In your signature you say that you're going to send the AOS and IV packages together. Are you doing this before paying the IV fee? I'm just trying to see what people are doing when faced with the delay between submitting the DS-261 and receiving the IV invoice.

Hey, I'll have to go look at my signature and change it if it's ambiguous, but we're not sending the AOS and IV packets together. We just sent all that stuff together to my parents in the U.S. at once so we wouldn't have to pay for FedEx twice (pretty expensive to send things from Buenos Aires to the states). His parents are gonna send some stuff from Colombia to my parents as well, but that's for the IV so we can go ahead and send the AOS as soon as my mom gets home to sign her form.

We won't send the IV package until we make the IV payment online, and I don't think it will show up on the payment page until they get our AOS packet. Or at least that's what some people's comments have implied in the past. I checked yesterday just to make sure, but nope, we can't make the IV payment yet even though we made the AOS payment some time ago.

WRONG, it doesn't matter what your citizenship is. Visa interviews are conducted where the applicant legally resides.

The section in bold and red is also incorrect. If a person is a citizen or born in country A but legally resides in country B, they can interview in country B.

You previously stated that your spouse is living in China right now on business and you previously indicated that on the forms; your spouse will be interviewing in Guangzhou

Well, I haven't been to Disney since 2007 or 2006, so I guess I'm in for a little surprise! :) Ohh, maybe I'll wear my red wig and pretend I'm Ariel, lol!

The IV and AOS tracks have nothing to do with one another and are not correlated at all. The invoicing of the IV bill is solely dependent on the DS-261.

May 16th, alright! Congratulations! :dancing::dancing::dancing:

Definitely a case complete. Congratulations!! :dancing::dancing::dancing:

thanx FABIAN,

1-Is it compulsory to bring co-sponsor tax returns and basic information filled in i 864 in interview?

2-Secondly, the mail i have received of case completion has a subject of ISLXXXXXXX (checklist), but it is stated that "we have finished your case and we will send you interview date, do not contact with US embassy in pakistan"....so my question is that everyone who receive the the case completion mail has the same subject of mail and everyone has to bring co-sponsor tax returns and basic information in interview with him/her ? please advice..

thanx in advance

Well damn, that's what I get for taking a break from the forum. Now I'm imagining things! Thanks for the clarification, Saylin!
