I like that our spring break is later than every one else. Our last two trips I have always seen someone that I know. It's such a small world. I will be on the lookout.
MammaNicholas
04-08-2010, 08:12 AM
Oh, yes in deed. I was so excited when I saw when DD's spring break is going to be. My only issue was that DD goes to the charter school, and DS goes to school in Terrebonne Parish. But since it's PreK, he hasn't missed very much school, and his teacher gave us her blessing, we're taking him out for the week.
It's always fun when you run into someone you know at Disney.
:wave2:Hopefully we'll see you there.:wave2:

Hi everyone: I want to get opinions on the Fantasmic Dining Package vs. the second showing of Fantasmic. Has anyone ever gone to the second showing of Fantasmic when it is offered? How are the crowds and the wait? I initially booked the Fantasmic Dining Package for May 25th so that my DD and I don't have to wait as long to get into the show (she is ADHD and mildly mentally challenged and does not do well with long lines). They have now added a second show for 2 nights of our trip. I have done the package once before and only had to show up 30 minutes before the show and it was great. But this time, even with the package, I was told to show up 60-90 minutes ahead of the show. Has anyone done the package recently? Or would I do better with the second show? We don't have a problem with the lateless of the second show. Thanks in advance for any opinions!

We saw the 2nd showing of Fantasmic last week. We arrived about an hour and a half before the show started and ate a late dinner at the cs right across the street while waiting. Once we finished eating and got in line, we only waited about 20 minutes before being let into the show. The show was not packed. Hope this helps.

Thanks. That really does help me decide. I think I will cancel my Fantasmic package reserverations and go to the 2nd show. We will probably return to the hotel and rest up a little and then go back a little while before the show.
BTW, I noticed that you are from Golden Meadow. I have a lot of relatives that live in Cut Off and Galliano. In fact, all of my mother's family live there and we still visit from time to time. I love visiting there.
Hope you guys had a great time in WDW. It makes me even more excited about going when I hear about everyone's trips.

Hi Magic2000 -- I live off of Hwy 59 not far from I-12. Where do you work? I pass by that area every day. Looks like we might just miss you. We will be in the Parks until the 28th and will leave to return home on the 29th. Depending on the time that you get there on the 28th, we might just maybe run into each other.

Abitagirl - I work at the St Tammany Parish Administrative Complex on Koop Dr! So you're probably not that far away!!
We will be heading out at 2:30 AM on May 28 (earlier if I can get everyone out the door), so we should arrive early afternoon. We may just spend the rest of the day relaxing out by the pool (having late lunch at Beaches & Cream) and maybe going to Downtown Disney.
I am SO EXCITED about the trip - I've already started putting things aside that we'll need. We still have 3 weeks, but have so much going on between now and the time we leave, I HAVE to start now. I have 2 DD birthdays - so 2 different parties, my niece is getting married, another niece's birthday, I just can't wait to finally be on vacation!

I pass up Koop Dr every day on my way to work. I work at Banner Ford in Mandeville. We are staying at ASMovies. The 28th will be my 5th Park ticket day so I'm not sure which Park we will be in that day. We may also hang out at the pool in the afternoon or evening. I have never been to Beaches & Cream, but have read alot about it. Maybe this trip I'll check it out. Have fun!!!

Ugh! My parents just got back from a 5 day trip on Sunday, and my sister's family left this morning for a 9 day trip. I can't believe I have five and a half MONTHS until our trip! I'm ready to go now!! On a positive note, ADRs are made, MVMCP tickets are purchased, and I'm calling today to pay off about half of what we owe. (Holding off on paying it all for a couple months to see what deals come out for November.) Guess now it's time to start making ride lists! Between the fact that DD will be under 40 inches, and most of the popular rides requiring DH to transfer me out of my wheelchair, we'll be making a lists of rides that we can easily do, what will require rider swap, what will require a transfer, and then prioritizing them.

Hey fellow Louisianians....We have been back about a month and I miss Disney already. The good news is that I am already planning my next Disney vacation. We are planning for May 26 or 27, 2011 to June 4 or 6, 2011. All depending on my DD's Dancing recital.
I am starting a TR. Hope you come to read. THere will be plenty of pictures. I even tried taking pictures of some of our meals.

WHO-DAT!!! I hope everyone has/had a fantastic WDW vacation! We are still on the fence about going Sept.10-17 or 20th to Pop Century.Still trying to figure out wether to take DD'S 6,5 out of school;leaning towards doing so-having a REALLY hard time passing on "Free-Dining"!!! Also hoping that this Hurricane Season is not as active as they predict-I don't think any of us can take any more of that stuff! Best Wishes to everyone!!!

I agree with you! We have been back about 2 weeks and miss Disney too. While we won't be going back to WDW in 2011, my daughter and I are taking a Disney Cruise in June 2011 on the new Disney Dream. Very excited about that!!!

We're headed down this week to stay at the Contemporary. We live in Covington. Can't wait to be back to see WDW, but I'm dreading the heat! Of course it's been really hot here at home, but it's not like we all walk around outside in the heat at home. I'm packing so much stuff because I know we'll need several changes of clothes with the heat and swimming.

Hey - checking in from Terrytown (Westbank of Jefferson Parish)
We'll be at Pop Nov 21-27 for Thanksgiving!
We'll be at POP around the same time: Nov 16 - Nov 24!
Lisa,
Thanks for posting info in your TR for the Jamestown Inn in Clearview, FL! I'd like to leave after work & drive about 5 hours before stopping for the night. That place looks like a perfect spot for us! Plus, the pics & info that you posted are great!
Does anyone else have great beyond-Pensacola hotels that they can recommend? Thanks y'all!!!

Husband surprised me by telling me we could add 5 days at Disney to the Tennessee vacation we already had planned. I know you can hear me cheering anywhere in the state right now. :cheer2: PAUSE, so you can listen. Hear anything? I thought so.
Well, add us Louisianians to July 25 to the 30th. I know is will be Hot and Crowded but a hot and crowded day at Disney is better than a cool/ quiet day anywhere else!
Let me go I only have 15 days to plan and pack. I usually plan for months. UGH!!!
