October, 2009 ~ Anyone??

[zaja]

So...who else is gonna be there in October? :woohoo: Never been to the Halloween party before. What's that like; any not-to-be-missed activities? Counting down the days...well, months for now. :thumbsup2

[AggieDave02]

We are going Oct 24th thru Nov 1st ... we went two years ago during Halloween, and it was great! Crowds weren't too bad, and it's cute seeing all of the kids dress up on Halloween. The Epcot Food and Wine Festival is fun too!

[jroland]

this sounds like so much fun i wish i could go!!!:rotfl2:

[edcrbnsoul]

Me! I'll be there Oct 17 to 25. :cool1:

[nevergrewup]

We will be going sometime in October '09, probably the first week but it is still up in the air. We bought BLT when we were there for F&W October this year and I can't wait to stay there for F&W next year.

[johnmichel]

Hi Friends !

It's the time of Christmas.So I am going on holidays for 10 days at a very pleasant place Babyloan. the wonder place of the world.

Thanks

[NMK62303]

We will be there too -- 10/24-11/1/09, can't wait -- went this past year and can't imagine not being back at Halloween, loved MNSSHP, had a blast trick-or-treating at Fort Wilderness! Halloween is DH's birthday -- he said a few nights ago that he wants to keep returning to Disney on his birthday as long as he can, which sounds great to me!

[huey578]

We'll be there 10/17-10/24 whoop!

Although we've never been to MNSSHP, we hit Downtown Disney one year for trick-or-treating; was soo much fun! Loved the squares Ghirardelli gave out, lol. Have fun next year!:hmghost:

[SoScary'09]

Yup! 10/28/-11/2/09 specifically for mnsshp!

Never been to the Halloween party but I hear it's AWESOME! It's gonna be great to be there on Halloween night! *so excited*

[kstgelais4]

Dh surprised us all on Christmas with a completely paid for trip starting on 10/24 and ending 11/7. Yup you got that! TWO whole weeks of Disney bliss. We have never been this time of year and we are really looking forward to it. I think the reason my dh booked this time of year is because his bday is the 27th, and he has always wanted to spend it in WDW.

[mattoxtr]

We are going to be in WDW Oct 18 to 23rd.

[tkitty]

Count me in, too. :cool1:
So far, the plan is CBR Oct 2 to Oct 9. Celebrating DGS's Bday -Oct 4th.
Might shift dates a bit one way or the other if free dining or other offers come available.

[mrsturtle]

halloween 09 can't come fast enough!!! can't wait for my boys to go trick or treating in wdw. 6 days of disney to look forward to all year!!! :banana:

[Bobo912]

Planning to be at WDW Oct 19 - 25. This will be the second MNSSHP for us.

[LowesChevy]

Planning for the first week again this year. We are a party of three adults and our first MNSSHP in '08 was a blast! Just being in the MK soaking up the atmosphere was awesome. Looking forward to booking! :goodvibes

I hope you have a great time! I am counting down the days with you

[disjacksons]

Can anyone tell me how crowded it is on Halloween? I'm debating between going over Halloween or going the week before depending on the crowds?

[Ellielovesdisney]

Just booked AKV October 13-18. DD has fall break this week and we can't wait!!! We have never stayed in a villa before and I think we will really enjoy the kitchen and extra room. woo-hoo - doing the happy dance!

[MinnieLee]

All booked for 10/30-11/8 (for our 13th staight Halloween visit!). LOVE the MNNSHP and the F&W at EPCOT.

[MegKate]

We'll be down there for our wedding at Sea Breeze Point (near Boardwalk Hotel) which is October 12, 2009!! Our trip (including honeymoon) will be October 8th through the 20th. :thumbsup2

[DWFan4Life]

I didn't experience yet a Halloween Party in Disney. We stayed there in Christmas holidays.

So, is it wonderful? I probably thinking that for this year. :)

[TooBoyz4us]

Jumping on the October train with ya'll :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Not exactly sure of our week yet though.Still waiting for DH to get his 2009 vacation requests approved.

[Simba22]

We'll be there Oct 23 - Nov 1 at Pop! Can't wait for MNSSHP again! It was my favorite part of our last October trip!

I liked MNSSHP way better than MVMCP!

MNSSHP= Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party :)

I'm already planning out my costume for Halloween night. (Marluxia from KH) If anybody else is gonna be there on the 31st, dress up if you're able!~:rotfl:

[JoliBug]

We will be going 1 Oct -7 Oct :banana: The trip is for our 1st anniversary :love: but my parents will be taggin along, all except the day of our actual anniversary. Everyone is eagerly anticipating the trip. We will be staying at Pop to maximize our eating and spending money. Have I mentioned that I'm excited? :woohoo: Why does October have to be so far away?

[phins_jazy]

Count us in! We'll be there the oct 26-nov 2. DD is racing at the wide world of sports complex. We're staying at fort wilderness and will be trick or treating around the fort that night. Oh I can't wait!!!!!!

[ashersmom]

I just booked DH and I for Oct 9-16. Our 20th anniversary is Oct. 14, and since we never had a real honeymoon, we're thrilled to finally have one. Staying at Coronado Springs resort, and leaving the kids home with grandparents. Yes, we're mean, but they're still too short and we'll bring them back in a couple years.

I've only been to WDW once, about 2 years ago as a "girls weekend" with a bunch of relatives, and DH has only been to Magic Kingdom over 20 years ago when he was in the navy, so we're like a couple of kids with how excited we are! :cool1:

[momz]

Just booked our accomodations. we will be there Oct. 17-24. We are staying in a condo this time. I'm amazed at how much more economical a condo is compared to a hotel!!!!

[princesskelz]

Oct 30th- Nov 4th
were taking
Me
mom
dad
grandma
aunt 1
uncle 1
cousin1
cousin2

most are first timers!
im so excited!:goodvibes

[AngVT]

My daughter and I are going to arrive on 10/24 and stay til 11/1! (for my monumental birthday pixiedust: ; and DD's first year in high school :hyper: )

DH doesn't know yet, It's my birthday present to myself, and well, to my daughter too... I love mother/daughter trips!

DS and I went last year for MNSSHP (2 nights ~ one ToT and 1 for dress up and rides. ~ the first night it POURED! ~ that was the ToT night!)

DD and I are looking forward to MNSSHP on 10/31 (hopefully we'll get tickets! ;) ) We're also going on the 25th (if there's a party that night)

We're staying at the airport for our 1st night in town ~as we're getting in around midnight... then we'll head over to the AKL (1st night); CSR (nights 2-6); and Poly (nights 7-8). Thank goodness for 40% off.

We're looking forward to hanging at the parks, chilling out by the pool, and having a great time... hope the weather cooperates!

[geffric]

I liked MNSSHP way better than MVMCP!

me too..

I will be there for a solo trip, meeting up with the DIS ladies trip.. 10/3 -10/10..

[jernysgirl]

Count us into the Oct crowd as well. :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

It looks like we will be there Oct 10th - 21st!

:cheer2: First time to WDW! Whoop!! :cheer2:

We are at CSR as well. Maybe we'll see you there!

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

We are going for our 10th Anniversary and my partner's birthday. We are going to be at that Hilton 10/13 to 10/21. We are staying free on points. While we will have access to EMH, I doubt that we will use it because, since this trip is more about celebrating Corey's birthday, I doubt that I will be able to get her up and out of the room before 10 am most days. She is more of a "vacations are for sleeping in" sort. I am not, but it will be ok. I can commando my way through my solo trip in April. ;)

[eap_mom]

Hi! New here and just books CBR Pirate room for 10/25 - 11/01!!! :cool1:

[princessfionasmom]

We'll be there 10/21-28 staying at OKW (unless I can switch to BLT at 7 month mark) our first trip as DVC owners! Can't wait for MNSSHP, do adults dress up on party nights that aren't halloween night? DH, who tells me I'm the Disney nut in the family, is the one insisting on this trip, who am I to argue! :cool1: :cool1:

[mickeyfan71]

Just booked a cabin at Fort Wilderness for Oct 21st-26th. I have never been around Halloween and am looking forward to it. This is a first time trip for my neice, Kenzie, princess: who turns 7 the week before we come and I will turn 38 the week before also. We are going to celebrate our birthdays while we are at the World! Also joining us will be my DD (16), DMIL, DSIL & DBIL (Kenzies parents) DSIL has only been to the Magic Kingdom once and it was years ago so I am so excited planning this trip for them. I love my DSIL and neice with all my heart and am so happy I get to experience her first visit. I am a huge fan of Mickey Mouse-I was even born in Oct 1971!!! It was destiny!! :rotfl2:

So glad I found this site! I am not alone in my passion for Disney!

[macraven]

me too..

I will be there for a solo trip, meeting up with the DIS ladies trip.. 10/3 -10/10..




and i am meeting up with some Dis ladies also.....

another solo trip for sept 30 - oct 8..........::yes::

[jernysgirl]

Maybe someone can answer this. We have talked to a travel agent about booking our trip (Oct 10-21) and they think going at that time is a mistake. They recommend going at the end of Oct. instead of the beginning. I kind of thought that we were going towards the end of the middle. :confused3 :confused3 :confused3

Why would you not go then? Is it going to be a lot busier? I know the weather is warmer in Sept and you have to worry about hurricanes. Is there something else I am missing?

[Leajess99]

I am going with my kids and sister in October. This will be our second year and we did MNSSHP last year. It was really cool and I am so excited. My youngest dd picked out her costume yesterday so her grandma can make it for her. I am just so excited.

[spicemom]

Booked yesterday for end of October:cool1: :cheer2:

[mattoxtr]

We are going in 270 days, 19 hours, 48 minutes and counting:cheer2:

i think what you have planned is good.
i always leave orlando the day after columbus day.
i find more crowds tend to come in at the end of the month.

you will have F & W, mnsshp for the time period you are going.

weather is still good for the middle of the month.

from what i have read in trip reports and threads, it seems like more crowds are at the end of the month.

i have been going early october for the last 9 years.


i have no idea why the TA suggests you change your dates. are there more discounts at that time?? :confused3

[kristilew]

We're going Oct 15-20 for my 40th bday and DD's 12th. (DH is just tagging along and indulging us!) Staying at Beach Club for maximum access to F&WF, and doing MNSSHP for the first time. I can't wait!

[christa112]

Add us to your list. No details yet. Just got the go ahead from my friend. Her dh finally caved and said we can all go. Now we are waiting for date approval and then let the planning begin!!!!

[2princesscuties]

Add us to the list too:cool1: We are going Oct19-25th.First time staying onsite and 1st time for MNSSHP!:cheer2:

[christa112]

Anyone been over Columbus Day?? I am wondering if we should avoid it. I am not one for crowds and would probably have a royal meltdown if it was packed. LOL

[macraven]

for the past 2 years, i have found that the crowds grow for the columbus day weekend.

i always leave on the Tuesday after columbus day Monday.

[Ellielovesdisney]

Any thoughts about the week following columbus day? We will be arriving the tuesday after and I'm a little nervous.

[idieh]

our 8th trip, 1st stay at the Caribbean in a pirate room...can't wait

[Janine1983]

We;re going!!

October 29th till Nov 13th!! Cant wait!

My birthday is on halloween, my dads is the 9th and my step sisters is the 12th!!

I went to Orlando over halloween in 2002!! Had an amazing time, queues were hardly seen!!

We went to halloween horror nights at universal and it was FAB!! So scary but excellent!!!!! Cant wait to do it all again this year! xxx

[h518may]

We are going Oct 25-30th. Wanted to be home for Halloween, but also wanted to make it to MNSSHP. We went in Sept last year and it was so hot, hoping the end of Oct isn't quit so hot.

[wdwmom0f3]

Today I found out today our dates for our trip in Oct. It looks like we will be there from the 11th -18th. The first weekend IS Columbus Day weekend.:scared: I hope that it's not to busy.


Let the planning begin!!pixiedust:

[mickey2minnie1]

We are in for Oct 24th - Nov 1st!

[MickeyNicki]

Count us in, Oct 22-25 at the POP and Oct 25 - Nov 1 at the BC CL...no MNSSHP for us though, been there and done that twice before

[Tigers98]

Going from 10/25-11/1. First trip for my daughter who will be 3 1/2 then. Last visit for my wife and I was 5 years ago so we are very excited. Can't wait to see her little face light up when she meets all her favorite characters for the very first time.

[2littleprincesses]

Are there usually any deals for October? TIA., We have teacher conventions for two days in the middle of October. Is this a good time?

[DreaGirl]

We are going Oct 18-24. We just switched or reservation from ASMu to Pop!

We stayed at Pop in November and loved it!

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

We'll be there Oct 23 - Nov 1 at Pop! Can't wait for MNSSHP again! It was my favorite part of our last October trip!

ETA:


I liked MNSSHP way better than MVMCP!

What was the weather like??

[DreaGirl]

What was the weather like??


We were there 10/08. The weather was hot and low humidity.

[christa112]

DH is putting is his vacation request for tomorrow :cool1: He has to submit 3 different weeks. Our 1st choice is 10/2-10/10, 2nd is 10/16-10/24 & 3rd is 10/9-10/17. I am keep my finger crossed for our 1st choice. The last few days of our trip will be Columbus Day weekend but we are leaving on Sat and we don't go near MK on Sats so I figure we should be ok.

I would love some input on weather, crowds etc for Oct. I have only been in Sept and have loved, I am hoping the crowds are too bad in Oct.

[DreaGirl]

We went in October of 2007. It was very hot. The humidity was low the first few days, then it rained one day, and the humidity went up from there.

We found that the crowds were low. We only had to wait on a few rides, otherwise the wait was less than 10 minutes for everything.

We loved going during Food and Wine too.

[pixierella]

We will be there from 10/24-11/01 again this year. We found the weather to be pretty good except for one cold day where I wish I had gloves and a sweatshirt. The HP was awesome and wehad a great time getting dressed up. We're already planning for this year's costumes

[Minnie Melissa]

Our family of 5 is going October 9-18!! This is our kids first trip to WDW and we are staying at POR. This trip is a HUGE reward for our family because .... WE ARE DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! This our BIG celebration!!!!:cheer2:

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

We're going (at least as of now) at the same time as you. Where are you staying?

[pixierella]

It will be our first trip home to to BLT with DVC. We can't wait. Where are you staying?

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

It will be our first trip home to to BLT with DVC. We can't wait. Where are you staying?

What's BLT (I'm pretty sure it's not bacon, lettuce, tomato!). We're probably gonna stay at POFQ. My dh won't let me splurge on a deluxe. ;)

[wdwmom0f3]

Is anyone else nervous about getting ADR's? We normally start on a Sat, this time on a Sunday. With that and now the 90 days instead of 180, I am getting a little nervous.

Does anyone else also know about Columbus day & the crowds? What park should we avoid that day?

[pixierella]

What's BLT (I'm pretty sure it's not bacon, lettuce, tomato!). We're probably gonna stay at POFQ. My dh won't let me splurge on a deluxe. ;)


Sorry, BLT is Bay Lake Towers which is the new Disney Vacation Club resort. It's attached to the Contemporary. The POFQ is a very nice resort. I always wanted to stay there but could never afford it. Enjoy it for what it's worth because honestly for me staying anywhere on property before we bought DVC was a pleasure.

[DreaGirl]

Last time we went in October it was over Columbus day weekend. I was able to get LeCellier and Coral Reef. Of course, I called at the 180 day mark.

I think if we call right on the 90 day mark, we should be fine! :goodvibes:

Where are you thinking for your ADRs?

[jenndla]

We will be there October 3-8, although I am thinking of coming in the 2nd late, so we can have early morning EMH at DHS on Saturday. Staying at POFQ! Really excited - the last time we went was January of 2002, right after 9/11, so we couldn't get into POFQ (closed due to ecomony)...

I plan to decorate my window and door! Hope to have some signatures!

:banana:

[HoneyLSU]

I'm going to be there 10/31-11/7 and I cannot wait!! Me and my BF want to go to the MNSSHP on Halloween night - When can we buy tickets for this? Does it sell out right away?

[tink713]

We are most likely changing our Nov/Dec vacation to an October vacation. We will be there October 10-19 for our 1st anniversary at BCV!

[TigerKat]

We'll be at Beach Club Villas 10/17-10/21 followed by Portofino Bay(Universal) from 10/21-10/25! Super excited!!!:cool1:

[HoneyLSU]

Oh and are the EMH's already announced for October? How soon do they normally announce those?

[jenndla]

Oh and are the EMH's already announced for October? How soon do they normally announce those?

I am just going off of October 2008 dates...they probably won't announce EMH until they release the park schedules - around the 90 day mark for ADRs.

[DreaGirl]

I am just going off of October 2008 dates...they probably won't announce EMH until they release the park schedules - around the 90 day mark for ADRs.

That's what I was going to say. I wish it were earlier that way we could get our ADRs lined up sooner.

Anyone have any ideas of where they are going to eat yet? :laughing:

We love character meals because they are LOUD and if our kids act up no one really cares and it is too loud to hear them. :rotfl:

[TigerKat]

Anyone have any ideas of where they are going to eat yet? :laughing:

Actually all of the lunch places will be new for us, looking forward to trying it!

[DreaGirl]

We ate at LTT in May for dinner. The food was really good. I loved the atmosphere also. I haven't tried any of the other lunch places, but have heard good things about them.

[GenieCat]

Count me in for the week of Oct 16th - 23rd! I am taking my niece who will graduate from high school this June (where is the praying smiley when you need one??;) ). Our tentative dining plans:

Food & Wine Festival!

Boma
Cape May
Chefs de France
Liberty Tree
Trails End
Tusker House
and either Chef Mickey's or Hoop de Doo for arrival night

I'm looking forward especially to Chefs de France. On our past trips, I could not get picky DH to try it. DN has three years of high school French, but has never experienced French cuisine. It will be a treat for both of us.

... and did I mention :woohoo: Food & Wine Festival!

[Tinkerbell Wilson]

Count me in. My DH & I (plus eight other family members) are going
October 9-17th. We are staying at POP, which I LOVE and can not wait to have the unlimited coke slushies!! :yay: This will be our first time to go in October and I can not wait. Does anyone know what the weather and crowds look like for this time???

[2littleprincesses]

We are thinking of going Oct 10-17. Please tell me about MNSSHP--wondering if this is worth it and if it will be going on while we are there. Also, wondering about crowds and weather. We have teacher conventions that week so I don't know if it will be a popular destination that week. Thanks for any help.

[laurainsem]

Woop, we booked our trip for Oct 13-19th last night!!!! We just finished our first trip to WDW and are so completely hooked. It will only be me and my younger sister this time, as my older sister has already used up most of her vacation time.

This will be a bday celebration for my sister. Her actual bday isn't till the 29th but I can't get those dates off work. So, it's an early celebration but we're okay with that. We'll also be tent camping this time at Fort Wilderness, which will be fun and will save money! While we'll miss the Pop, it just doesn't fit within the budget.

Our TS list is still in the works, but here is what we have so far, all dinner:
Ohana's
Cinderella's Royal Table
50's Prime Time Cafe
Le Cellier
Hoop Dee Doo Revue
Planet Hollywood

We've already been to Hoop Dee Doo, Le Cellier, and 50's and loved them. It will be exciting to try a few new things as well!

Ooh, i'm quite curious about this as well. We're planning to do MNSSHP but I would love to learn more.

[pixierella]

I'm going to be there 10/31-11/7 and I cannot wait!! Me and my BF want to go to the MNSSHP on Halloween night - When can we buy tickets for this? Does it sell out right away?


The HP tickets go on sale on 05-01. I'm not sure if they sell out right away since our TA got them for us last year. I also plan on going on the 31st. I would just try to buy them as soon as they go on sale.

[pixierella]

Ooh, i'm quite curious about this as well. We're planning to do MNSSHP but I would love to learn more.


The party is by ticket only. The rides are still going for all of the party so the lines are a bit shorter. The parade was pretty cool to watch and the Headless Horse man was riding around. We went TOT and it was cool to see charaters you don't see all the time like Alice in Wonderland and that whole story. There was lots and lots of folks dressed up in costumes. All in all it was a great night and we are staying the extra night just to join the party.

[Shana Rayce]

We will be there too!! October 29 - Nov. 4!!! Going to MNSSHP on Halloween night!! Taking family members that haven't experienced how much FUN it is to go to the party and to be there ON Halloween!! Come on October!! :rolleyes1

[DreaGirl]

If you buy your MNSSHP tickets through AAA do you get a discount?

[pixierella]

I'm sorry but I don't know. Your best bet would be to call AAA.

[tinkerbelle22]

I might be going in October for my 18th birthday, with my mom and my best friend. Don't know when or where we'd stay, because it's not definite yet. But I'm crossing my fingers! Anyway, just wanted to subscribe to this thread so I'll have a place to do my happy dance when I find out if I'm going :)

[tkitty]

It"s official! we're booked for Oct 2-Oct 9! It will be DH and I, DD, her DH and the grandkids, 7 and 2. Celebrating DGS's 8th Bday on Oct 4th. :cool1:

My only worry now, is that my DD reserved 2 - 1 bdrm rooms for us through her time share (RCI), and we are in 2 different resorts!!! OKW, for me and DH, SSR for DD and her family. We will keep trying to get in to the same one, but they will charge us to make changes.
Has anyone out there done this ? We want to eat nearly all meals together, and I know my DGS will want to stay with us mostly. The resorts are about 1 mile apart, and I check transportation and stuff, but it will definitely be inconvenient.
So, at this point, I'm afraid to get to excited about the resort, because that could change. But I'm so happy to make it official!!:cool1:

Nope.

[DreaGirl]

Nope.

Well that stinks! Thanks for the info!

[8 Ears]

Wahoo! Was talking to DH about this thread and he said to book it!!!!!!!!!:cool1:

So, I just got off the phone with "Carson" and booked Pop for October 4-9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:goodvibes :wizard: :woohoo: :yay: :cheer2:

We will celebrate DH's birthday which is October 5 (the BIG 4-0!!), mine October 16 (38) and our 20th wedding anniversary which isn't until December 16, but oh well.:cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9:

Wahoo!!:woohoo:

[Hallowishes]

ohhh its a BLAST and you can bet ill be there AGAIN this year! my plans are september 28 - October 9th... with at least 2 trips to the MNSSHP! pirate:

[phisigprincess]

We'll be there the 21 (or 22) - 25. Our friends are getting married on the 24th, and for their reception, they're buying everyone tickets for PFTS! I'm so excited! We're hoping to go to the Halloween party if there is one offered on the 22nd (because that's the only day we could make it work).

Right now we're going to book at CSR, but I'm hoping for an AP discount that will make it feasible to move up to the Yacht or Beach Club.

[disneynewman]

We'll be there! Right now the plan is for Oct 7-13 but that might change when SW releases thier fares, we'll see.

[DreaGirl]

We are waiting on the same info from SW. Do you know when they normally release the fare prices for Oct?

[disneynewman]

Thier web site states that fairs through Oct 30th will be released on April 7

[DreaGirl]

Oh thanks. I was just on the website yesterday and didn't see that info. Can't wait!

[princessfionasmom]

I just booked our airline tickets for our Oct trip. Leaving 20th returning 29th, flying Delta out of Boston nonstop. I got $169 rt per person which works out to $74 each way plus taxes and fees. I was going to try wait for cheaper fare but that may not happen so I decided to go ahead and book. Now the trip feels real :cool1: Anyone else book their flights yet?

[tink713]

So change of plans...we won't be going to WDW in October anymore because we are going to Disneyland!! Yay I'm so excited, then we will be back to WDW in February.

We were there in Oct 2007 and the crowds were really low. We walked on to almost every ride. It was REALLY hot when we were there and so humid, but we still had a great time. It also rained almost every day, but it was quick rain.

[DreaGirl]

I am waiting for JetBlue!:wizard:

I wish Jet Blue flew out of Detroit! I always hear such great things about them.

[DWFan4Life]

How I wish that we could also have a trip as early as anyone here but we are planning on December. Some of my friends are also having a trip on October, may all of you have a great time and fun.

Have a nice day to all. :)

[WaitingToMeetDumbo]

We'll be there for a few days in Oct...Just booked from Sept. 26 through October 4th.

Looking forward to be at BCV with DH, His DD and SIL, 5yr old DGS, 2 1/2 yr old triplets (1 DGS & 2 DGD) and 1 yr old DGD. We stayed there a couple of years ago when the triplets were 7 months and had a great time. My stepdaughter asked if we could go back there again, so we were thrilled when we had no problem getting a 2BR there.
I'm so happy we'll be there for the F&W Festival...I always really enjoy that.
We're also waiting for SW to book our flights...have 2 free flights to use.

[terbethk]

Myself and two friends will be there 29th - Nov 2.
We'll be staying at Coronado Springs.
We just booked our flights yesterday - flying AA - we paid $200 apiece.

I can't wait! :goodvibes

Thank you, it's something i really enjoy doing, and my nephews love it cause they get to eat any extra cake and frosting. i imagine a fridge would be handy with two little ones, i couldn't imagine taking my nephews to disney world that would be so much work, we do Disneyland every few weeks but only about 3 hours at a time. We are looking to join a photopass share, can't bring myself to spend $100 for pictures.

[wondermomamy]

We'll be there Oct 2 - 11. Yay!

[pal-mickey]

I'll be there 10/20-10/26. Staying to Pop. This is a surprise trip for my daughter's 16th birthday. Her b-day is the 21st. I plan on taking her out of school on the 20th telling her it's for a dr. appt. Going so far are the 5 of us and my Mom. My brother and his wife may come. My daughter's good friend moved to Florida 2 yrs ago. I'm thinking of asking her Mom if she could spend a few days with us. We have never been down at that time of year. I'm planning on doing MNSSHP and tea at the Grand Floridian. And a meal at 50's Prime time because that's my daughter's favorite place to eat.

[Amandamouseketeer]

Woohoo!! Our family is so excited about our first trip to DWD. :banana: We will be at POR Oct. 3-11. Me, DH, DD, DSs and MIL to babysit.:thumbsup2 Thanks for giving me a place to celebrate!:yay:

We will be there too -- 10/24-11/1/09, can't wait -- went this past year and can't imagine not being back at Halloween, loved MNSSHP, had a blast trick-or-treating at Fort Wilderness! Halloween is DH's birthday -- he said a few nights ago that he wants to keep returning to Disney on his birthday as long as he can, which sounds great to me!

We were there the same week you were in Oct 08, at the Fort. 300 loop. What a blast on Halloween!

[jb01]

Trying for mid Oct. Hope to see everyone there.

[phisigprincess]

I just paid my downpayment today and since then I've been sitting here wishing it was almost time to go. As much as I want to enjoy my summer is as much as I want October to hurry up and get here!!

[mrsscooter]

Man..........I cant beleive I haven't posted on this board before. I seem like I am always posting something somewhere lately....LOL We will be there from October 26 to November 5 at Fort Wilderness. There will be about 9families driving down with our campers. So, if any of you guys are traveling on 95 south on October 24/25/26 and you see a huge caravan of campers, that would be us, so feel free to honk!!!! LOL

[Twoboysnmygirl]

:cool1: We pushed our Jan. 2010 back to October!!! It's the whole family, DH, ME, 2 teenage boys, my DD (who will celebrate her bday at MK! I almost cried when I found a way to make that work!) MIL, FIL, and SIL. Needless to say, we are renting a house!

My dd and I went with friends for our first visit last Sept. and I'm looking forward to taking the whole family! They have never been to WDW! Our dates are Oct. 19-27th! :banana:

[Bullseye]

We're in for October 9-19th at CSR. Going to MNSSHP on 10/13 in costumes. Really looking forward to Food & Wine Fest also since I love to eat and try new foods ::yes::. Trip was originally planned for 6/2, but had to reschedule because of recent surgery. Gonna still be somewhat ride restricted in Oct. so I'm gonna compensate by eating well (F&W and ADR's) :thumbsup2. I was worried about crowds, but I can't believe they could possibly be worse than when we usually go in early June.


It seems like weather wise despite October being a prime hurricane month, typically Orlando has fairly nice weather.
Average temperature-75°
Average high temperature-84°
Average number of days above 80°-25
Average precipitation-3.9 inches
Average number of days with thunderstorms-3

We're going down from Oct. 25-30. Staying at BC for the first time (really looking forward to some pool time there). Originally planned the trip around our DD's fall break from school. DW and I were so excited about MNSSHP that we forgot about Food & Wine festival until just a few weeks ago. That's the cherry on top of the sundae. Mmmmmm...sundaes. Good thing Beaches & Cream will be close by. Can't wait to make my ADRs in July.
