February 2010

[dansamy]

There never is, just another President's Day Week for us. But I really can't believe that we're in a recession and so many people can afford to go.

BIG NEWS, we're now leaving a day earlier and spending an extra night:banana::banana::banana: So only 8 days here now!!!

How bad are PW crowds? I've been during MG, but it didn't coincide with PW.

Just looked at touring plans' site and the only recommended park is EP for our whole four days!

It can get pretty busy. I've never experienced the parks shutting down due to being filled to capacity, but most rides have hour+ waits. EP is always suggested for busy days since it holds larger crowds easier. A good thing though, you can never really notice the crowds at the resorts.

[KayW]

Another Valentine's Day arriver!

We have gone the past 2 President's Day weeks. Crowds definitely on the Monday holiday. We do AK that day. The rest of the week isn't too bad.

[tinacaplan]

I can do on-line check-in tomorrow...woo hoo...:banana::banana::banana:

That would be great if we were just hanging out at the resort! :lmao:

[disneylovin24]

I actually do a lot and that's why february doesn't bother me. I visit MK and EP and that's it so the crowds never effect my family.

[jenny105]

Don't know if my February trip is going to happen. :( I was supposed to go with my boyfriend and we broke up. I've tried to find other people to go with me but it's way too last minute for people to get the time off work or get the money together. Bummer.

[MaumeeMom]

Only two more days!

Here is my pre-trip report:

I'm so excited! I hope everyone has a great trip!

[~*Abbie*~]

woohoo! we will be at CSR 27feb-6mar, but we arrive on the 26th :) cant wait, we've got our Alien Green Mickey Heads all ready to go! hope to See Ya Real Soon!

Aww! :hug: Would you be comfortable going alone? You could have a really great time.

[Family Loves Disney]

I just checked accuweather.com and it says that it will be raining on the day we arrive and raining on Valentine's Day! :scared: V-Day I have the Bayou Pirates Adventure schedules for the kids, so dh and I can have a mini V-Day date. :lovestruc

I so hope the weather forecast changes.

[MaumeeMom]

My DH is coming back today from a conference in West Palm Beach. He said it was chilly & rainy the whole time until he woke up to go to the airport - now 77 & sunny.

The weather forecast can still change, you have a while to go yet.

Have a great trip.

[Mrs D]

If you are heading to Pop in February (or future dates as well) we'd love to have you be a part of the FREE Pay It Forwards swap at Pop. It's an awesome box filled with goodies and useful items.

It's kind of like the Give a Penny Take a Penny dish. You find something you need from the box, it's yours. If you have stuff you don't want to take home, put it in the box!

Some recent items in the box are: rain ponchos, lysol wipes, wet ones, laundry detergent, dish soap, clothes pins, disposable baby changing pads, glow sticks, stickers, kids toys, etc.

Looking forward to seeing future POPpers in the PIF thread!

Thanks!

[jenny105]

Aww! :hug: Would you be comfortable going alone? You could have a really great time.

I thought about it but I think I would be a little lonely. Especially since every trip there was with him. :guilty:

[SafetyPinndSally]

We leave in two days and today was my last day at work before we leave. :banana: Oh and it's snowing tonight and then again on friday...so happy I won't be here for the 18-25 inches we're supposed to be getting this weekend. :laughing:

[dansamy]

I thought about it but I think I would be a little lonely. Especially since every trip there was with him. :guilty:

Than make this trip about you! And your chance to discover Disney all on your own. You may find it's a different place. And not for the worse either.

[tinacaplan]

Good weather, bad weather...whatever. I'm leaving in TEN DAYS and will go home and do on-line checking tonight. As Kate Hudson's character said in Almost Famous...IT'S ALL HAPPENING!!! :banana::banana::banana:
Don't know when the last time I was this EXCITED about it being TUESDAY!!!

[disneylovin24]

The accuweather forecasts aren't really accurate this many days out anyway, so I wouldn't be worried

I promise to think about it. :hug: Thanks.

Sweetie, I know you are hurting right now and thinking of Disney as being the place you and your BF went. You have to find enjoyment of things/places separately from your enjoyment of the relationship that you had with him. Otherwise, each successive relationship will have places or experiences that are soured for you if/when the relationship ends.

Good advice. I think time alone would probably be good for me. If I end up cancelling this trip, I'm already planning a birthday trip to Disney with a bunch of my friends. :) Gotta get my fix somehow!

[SafetyPinndSally]

Last minute packing, getting the car washed and picking up around the house before we leave! Ugh...I really hope today goes by super quick, but knowing my luck it will drag.

[disneylovin24]

One week from now I should be in WDW:cloud9:

[tinacaplan]

And no place to go...yet!!! So excited. While the process itself wasn't all that thrilling, its just great to say that I did it. And it does ease my mind a little knowing that I gave them at ETA for check-in day, even if it doesn't really mean anything. Yet another thing I wouldn't have known to do without the Dis! :cool1:

[englishrose47]

I've done ON LINE check in 3 times now and LOVE it !!! My TA told me about it as soon as it came out and did it for me !!!!

[tinacaplan]

In your experience, does it get you into your room any more quickly? I've had people say yes, some people say no...just curious. We get into MCO around 10 a.m. and would love to be in our room ASAP. While I wouldn't mind walking around the resort for an hour or two and/or grabbing something to eat, it would be so nice to be able to get into our room for a quick nap before heading out to Epcot.

[mommyoftwinz]

We'll be in WDW in two days. I can't wait! We moved our flight up a day due to pending storm approaching, we ended up booking a night at the contemporary which I'm curious to see what it's like and then will switch over to our original plan staying at the GF. I hope our luggage makes the journey. One more day of running around and making sure everything is crossed off my to do list.

:banana:

[SafetyPinndSally]

The car is loaded, the water bottles are in the cooler and I'm sitting here, wide awake waiting for DH to get home from work and I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach.

Oh well by this time tomorrow we will be comfy in our room at Pop and getting ready for our first day.

I hope all of those who are leaving within the next few days have a safe trips despite the impending snow and that everyone has a great vacaction.

[yellownovawife]

packing....packing....tidying....organizing pet-sitters.... can't wait for our adventure to begin!!!!:)

[Disney Fan Katt]

Dropping the dog at the kennel, picking the child up from school, then DH from work... only hours until we are at the airport!!!!!

It is finally here! Safe travels all you Disers!

[Samsma]

Just wanted to see my clock! Single digits!!!

[Cinbride]

anybody else have like 10 bags of luggage/groceries/stuff. Instead of carrying a bunch of plastic bags, I tried to use the green shopping bags for groceries and pack all silly things/diapers and such in a duffle bag. Leaving tomorrow and I can't stop packing. I know we wont use hardly anything but with weather being tricky I want to be ready. Hoping for nice weather!!

[RobinHoodGirl]

We started counting down the hours and minutes until our trip!

Only thing I'm getting worried about is the weather people are forecasting snow Friday into Saturday and Saturday I need to do some last minute things I can't get done before then...

But as long as our Sunday flights not effect I don't care!

[KayW]

Tomorrow is my Disney shopping day!!!:cool1:

After my drs appointment I plan to do some snack food shopping as well as socks and other little things. I have to double check my travel size items to see if I need any of those. My DD tried on her summer stuff to make sure that it still fits and I don't need to buy anymore shorts/capris.

Also, I just want to see my ticker!

[tinacaplan]

Didn't have the greatest day, but at least there's the DIS and my upcoming trip to distract me. Can't believe that its so close and the forecast on accuweather just keeps looking better.... Safe trip to everyone who's leaving this weekend!

[Joan S.]

Hi, LOVE reading all the last minute posts and how everybody is running around getting ready to go!! And I thought it was just ME that got so CRAZY right before we leave. :rolleyes: Happy vacations to ALL!! Joan

[disneylovin24]

4 days:yay::yay::yay:

I've been checking the forecasts on accuweather and weather.com and it's hilarious how different thee are!! The temperature is 10 degrees different on somedays and when one calls for rain the other says sun:lmao: I'm not believing either yet but when monday comes I'm just going to start watching the weather channel:thumbsup2

[Family Loves Disney]

Just found out that dd's best friend will be at WDW @ POR the same time we are! DD is so happy she will be there. We have been having behavior issues from her, we were thinking it was because of alot of issues this school year - 1. being separated from all her best friends from kindergarten (there were 5 of them, 4 went to one classroom and dd went to another classroom this year - 1st grade), 2. being the sibling of a special needs child catching up with us, 3. having speech issues herself. I am so worried for her, so far this year she has lied to us, cheated on her morning work, and stolen money from us (so she could go to school and buy the girls in her classroom stuff so they would like her). She is only 6 yrs old, I never thought I would be dealing with this till she was a teenager. I have promised her that while at WDW we would have a mother-daughter day and we can do whatever she wants to do. Then to hear that one of the 4 girls that are part of her best friend pack is going to be there at the same time just made her so happy. She was glowing from head to toe! Anyway, thanks for letting me vent, now to get ready for my last weekend of work before heading to WDW for 10 days then packing on Tuesday, Monday ds has surgery (don't get me started on that).

so sorry this happened, but you should really consider going it solo. the freedom might be nice. you could be in the sunshine! on the other hand, if you are really feeling low, you could just postponne for when the time is right. follow your gut on this one and good luck! time heals.

[KayW]

I plan on wearing shorts and sneakers this trip. I pack capris for evening time. It is in the teens here so anything above 50 is going to be warm for us!

Too funny! I was actually coming on here to post something about the wild disparities between accuweather and weather.com...do folks have any opinions about which site tends to be more accurate? I know I'm still looking a ways down the road, but within ten days tends to be somewhat accurate and I can't quite square the 70's and sunny with the low 60's and rain???!!!! :confused3

[mstinson14]

I am in for February 25-March 2
2 weeks and 5 days:banana::banana:

[krystalleigh1]

Time flies!! So much to do yet, I haven't even begun to pack!! :scratchin

[tinacaplan]

So, I was really excited early last week and I'm still looking forward to Disney, but this has been a really tough few days with nasty neighbors and us finding out we're going to need to have a new roof put on our house, ASAP. But I have to send some :goodvibes out to the whole DIS community for the lively, funny updates on numerous threads that bring a smile to my face and keep me focused on where I'll be in just five more days! So thanks to all of you and for those of us about to leave...here's to a great vacation!

[Disney MAINEiac]

:headache: Just found out at the last minute that DBIL and family are canceling and won't be making the trip. We booked the THV for the space and now they aren't coming....could have done a 1-bdrm like we always do and stayed longer. and it's such short notice we can't find anyone else to take their place (to late for scheduling time off and airfare is through the roof now as well.:sad2: That;s the last time I use points to try and do something for family.

[nemofans]

I'm back & trying to adjust to the real world again! We had some rainy days, magical moments, & some not so magical moments.

[disneylovin24]

WE LEAVE TOMORROW:dance3::dance3::dance3:

It still hasn't sunken in yet that I'm going to disney in less then 24 hours!!!!

[KayW]

6 more sleeps! Snow Wed into Thursday, but clear skies on Sunday!

[Steve690]

We are going on the 13-19, does anyone know if Sunday and Monday(Presidents Day) will be packed in the Magic Kingdom?

[disneylovin24]

Oh it is going to be packed those days!!! We've never actually gone into the parks those days, but just from seeing the lines throughout the day entering the park you can tell its crazy.

[mrsd1]

We just returned this afternoon from 7 days at Wilderness Lodge. It was a relaxing trip with just my husband and I. It was our first time at Wilderness Lodge. We enjoyed the amenities at the Lodge and loved Whispering Canyon. We ate dinner at Artist Point one night and were not impressed. The food was ok, but not for what it cost. We were on the 3rd floor and the one thing I did not like was that you could hear the toilets flush throughout the night.

I hope everyone has a magical trip!

Mrs D

[disneylovin24]

Today is the day:dance3: I can't believe it's really here!!!

[tinacaplan]

I'm officially excited again! Safe trip to everyone leaving in the next few days...ooo...that includes me! :banana::banana:

[Steve690]

everyone have a great time, we leave Saturday, hope mid to upper 60's is not too cold to go swimming, my son really is looking forward to going back to the pool at CBR

[Joan S.]

OH NO!! SNOW on Wednesday :sad2: trying to fly out on Friday morning 6:15am PVD to BWI and then on to MCO. I think I may need some:wizard:. BUSY day today, I NEED to get all my errands done because tomorrow looks like a snowny ,no travel day. Anybody else WORRIED with this storm coming?? Joan

[Family Loves Disney]

:yay:I think I am having an anxiety attack! We leave in less than 3 days and I feel like I am not prepared! Gotta start packing, but been busy with ds having surgery and all of his therapy appts. I am feeling anxious.

[martinfan]

We just got home last night from our 8 day vacation. We had a blast! The weather wasn't overly warm and it rained the morning we went to MK, but, we walked on all the rides with no waiting at all!! Was awesome!! We even went on rides 2-3 times! Loved it! I'm not a patient person, so, the no waiting was a big plus for me! We stayed at POR. It was our first time staying on site. It was a great place. Didn't really like the long walk to the main building, but, it wasn't bad. wouldn've like a closer room. The food court was great. I personally loved the buld-your-own pasta! The buses were quick too.

Sounds like you had a great time! Were you able to swim at all? We leave on Monday and the kids will be bummed if they can't swim:worship:

They swam one time. It was just too chilly. One afternoon the girls tried to swim, but the minute they got in the water, it thundered, so they had to get out. it was downpouring and there was tornado warnings, so, they didn't really need to be swimming! lol! They were bummed about not being able to swim, but, we were so busy with other stuff too. I'm hoping you'll have warmer weather than we did. :)

[tinacaplan]

So, with just three more days to go...WE'RE GETTING A SNOW DAY TOMORROW!! :cool1: As a teacher, that means no school, so I have another day to get ready and pack. Can't believe this is really happening.

[hotcarib]

We leave the 23rd for 7 nites @ POFQ!!!

[LaurenT]

We leave the 23rd for 7 nites @ POFQ!!!

We leave the 23rd too!! Kidani Village for us..the 24th is my DD's 7th birthday, this is going to be so much better than chuck e cheese or a bowling party!

[MaumeeMom]

We're home! We got back yesterday to a foot of snow - I wish we were still at Disney.

We had a blast and I hope to start a trip report later this week. We loved POFQ and the parks weren't too crowded. I'd have liked better weather but it was still better than Ohio.

[mkps]

Maumee Mom - welcome back! Sounds like you had fun!

We leave the 24th for 5 nights at Poly. Can I ask you... how was the weather? Did you need warm clothes? Was it too chilly to swim?

I'm wondering how to pack!

[pinkerbell]

we returned yesterday - though MANY said even when they were there there were no line - for the first time we had some huge waits - which we skipped TOT 90 minutes - others were about a 1/2 hr Pooh, dumbo, even spaceship eaarth which we NEVER wait for - we had to wait. Guess we picked the wrong days for our parks.
We arrived on the 2nd and stayed until the 9th
My girls only swam the first two days then it got too cold - wish I had brought more long pants had to do laundry but hey most was clean when I got home :) - also a bit of rain, but not bad. bring layers - for girls dresses that u can put leggings and a shirt under so you can take them off IF it gets warmer - my girls stayed bundeled the entire day - It was usuay in the 50's to mid 60's the entire stay. Definately was glad I said ok when my daughter left with her winter jacket, at first I said no, but she wanted to wear it - and she did even at the parks.
LOVED POR - in the Magnolia Terrace section - great location to busses - food and pool
we also had a great spot to watch the space shuttle takeoff at night
great trip cant wait to return in Sept!

[Family Loves Disney]

:yay:OMG, can it be?! We leave in less than 24 hours!!!!:cool1: :woohoo:

On a bad weather note, it is suppose to be snowing all the way to the Ga/Fl border, and then rain from there to Orlando!:eek: It is suppose to start around 9 a.m., so I told dh we could either leave tonight and rent a room somewhere close to Orlando or leave earlier than our 4 a.m. tentative time. Take note, dh will not let us go in our van because he says it needs a new transmission and it may not make it (but it is ok for me to drive it around Atlanta on a daily basis with the kids in tow, not understanding that logic!:confused:), so we are taking his GMC Sierra extended cab truck. Which basicly our luggage will be in the bed of the truck and we will be arriving to WDW in true REDNECK style!:eek: It is my birthday vacation, my last birthday of my 30s and I keep asking for a new car (wanting an GMC Acadia or Chevrolet Traverse) but he keeps saying NO! Then again, it is nice not having a car payment too. I'm torn!

Either way, we will be in WDW soon! Things will get better once we are there!

[nemofans]

It was rainy & cool weather. One day it did get into the 70's & the boys wore shorts. It was much better than here so I didn't mind. We used all our long pants & long shirts.

[Butterflies31]

Im leaving in less than 3 weeks my tummy is in knots..
The kids have listened to that song Celebrate you over and over thanks to you tube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIx4G6vWe6Q Its cute to see them going crazy :) I wonder if they play that silly song in WDW hmmm well We leave Feb 28th from NYC on Amtrack 21 hrs to FL and WDW :) we arrive 10 am March 1st I CANT WAIT!!!!:cheer2: :banana::banana::banana:

Yes, we did have fun, thanks!

The weather was all over the place. It was nice the first day, super rainy (tornado warnings) one day, cold enough to wear our winter coats one day and shorts another. It was strange. We kept checking the weather forecasts but they changed all the time. When we left they called for Ohio to be cold but dry on the day we came home but it was actually "Snowmageddon" as they have been calling it. We had a foot of snow drop the day we came home.

The pools are heated and some people were in there even though it was 40 degrees out so I really can't give you much advice about the pools, all I know was that it was way too cold for us to swim.

Good luck, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[SafetyPinndSally]

We just got back early this morning and I'm missing it already. We loved the weather, even though it did rain on our last day we still thought it was better than the 25+ inches they were getting back at home. We had a few problems with a certain group of people during our stay, but other than that we had a blast and can't wait to start saving for our next trip.

I guess I should get out some more pants/sweatshirts. Usually I bring 1 pair, but with this weather that is being reported I may need more.

We are going to be heading down for a special weekend, we get there on the 18th and head back on the 21st.... We are staying at FW, which is were we always stay.

we got back on Tue night - I wish I had brought more pants - pack them! and just be glad the weather is nice if you dont end up wearing them - I could have enjoyed myself more if I had warmer clothing :goodvibes

[tinacaplan]

In 24 hours, I'll be flying the friendly (I hope!) skies. Between now and then, though, I have one last day of school to teach (thankfully I have a great job where the days fly by) and a TON of things to do at home this evening. Because of course, my DH and I both got some terrible, yucky stomach bug during the last two days. But, hey...better this week than next! Can't wait...wish the weather were going to be warmer, but sixty-five compared to twenty-five is going to fee wonderful, regardless.

I feel exactly the same way! I teach preschool and today will fly by since we have our Valentine's Day party and the kids will be very busy! Then tomorrow I drive up to VT to pick up my dd (so that we can watch her coach a bball game and so that we only have one car), then drive to NYC for the night. We fly out of LaGuardia on Sunday morning!!!! YAY! :cool1:

I agree about the temps too! We were hoping for 72 and sunny every day... but 65 will still be wonderful compared to NY weather! The nights will be a bit chilly... BUT... WE'LL BE IN DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!

Enjoy your week off!

[KayW]

The school day is over!!!:banana::cool1: I have a cold starting, but I think I can get through it. I am planning on packing capris-they should be ok right?

[nemofans]

Yeah, I wore capris a few days w/a long sleeve shirt or short sleeve & jacket.

[englishrose47]

I wore capris or jeans !! Take longsleeved shirts and sweatshirts too as it has been cold !!! I even took a pair of gloves !! As long as you are prepared it's fine ! Who knows next week could be in the 80's !!!

[Harlemgirl720]

Everyone have a great time. Had to cancel mine due to snowmaggedon. :mad:
Was supposed to arrive on Sunday but damned Amtrak couldn't get me out until Tuesday. So I hopefully can get a room from 4/25-5/1. :worship:

[KayW]

No gloves. I don't wear gloves much here as it is. I think I will get sweatshirt when I get there. Some of the new 2010 ones are nice!

it was in the 50's and 60's and I wished I had brought pants! I brought Capris -the rain made it seem a bit colder at times. I can usually tolerate shorts if I layer clothes on the upper half, but missed not having pants - better to have them and not wear them, then wish you had them! ENJOY!! :goodvibes

We're off to see the Mouse today!!! My ILs are coming at 8:45 to get us. We should be at the airport by 9:15-love the convenience. By 2:30 I should be at POFQ!!!! I did online checkin last night.

I hope all goes well. See you all real soon!

I do not want to go in February again. It was too cold and too rainy (just like in 2007) We wore our winter coats a few times! It was also way busier than we expected. Lots of big groups!

Like I said - we made the best of it. We had a good plan and so we had a great trip!

We love WDW and we love fastpasses!

[Ricklg3]

Just checked in online Be at the Poly in 10 days

[MaumeeMom]

Yay, it looks like there are lots of happy February travellers!

I'm sorry for those of you who have had trouble getting out due to the weather. I hope things work out for you all.

I've been working on my trip report. Click here (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2394784) to read about Le Cellier and Starring Rolls.

Thanks!

woo hoo! We are leaving in 7 days and I just checked the weather channel site and it's supposed to be 70s and sunny (well partly cloudy, but we'll ignore that ;)). Yippe, hope it stays that way!

I am also looking every day as I am arriving the 27th :goodvibes
I check intellicast.com for the weather as I think they are on the ball
As a South Floridian I can tell you 72 - 74 deg midday sun/ partly cloudy will give you a burn so pack some sun screen and shorts

We just got back. The weather was cold for us. The highs were maybe around 60 most days, we only had 2 rainy days and it wasn't the whole day. But the mornings were pretty cold, in the 40's. I don't think I brought enough warm clothes, we all went out and bought sweatshirts and all the stores were selling out of gloves. I think though it should be warming up for you guys. I hope you have lots of sunshine, either way you'll have a great time, but pack your gloves just in case.

:thumbsup2

[MmmmDisney.]

4 days!

[goiu]

We are going the 27th to the 7th. I'm nervous, though! My friend just got back this past weekend from there and she said it was too cold to go the parks or do anything outside! She said it was in the 40s. Is that true???? What do I bring for the kids then? Sure hope we don't get sick while we are there!!

[KayW]

We just got back yesterday and boy was it COLD! At night my daughter and I wore two sweatshirts. Yesterday was the nicest day and of course we were leaving. But we did a lot, ate alot, and had a great time. Already starting to plan for next year!

[MKay]

Is there anywhere online that you can find out what "today" was like in the parks...like temperature, crowd levels, closed attractions? If not an official WDW site, anywhere on these boards? I tried searching but don't seem to come up with something. It would be nice to have one that is like a continuous diary/journal...maybe I should start one when we get back on 3/7...hmmm.

6 full days until we leave...ahhhh:cool1:

[viluvsdisney]

7 more days yipee, I cannot wait Anyone else be there from the 25-March 2?

We'll be there the exact same days. We're visiting in W Palm Beach rt now...really nice here today. Weather in Orlando for the 25th until the 2 looks ok. Mid 60's then warmer towards the 1st.
