[feenie]

We will be at the Poly from the 10th to the 14th!! We can't wait!!!:D

[Lyndarella]

My cousin and I will be at BWV Sept. 20-27. I have splurged on a 2 BR for just the two of us! My family likes to REST on vacation, so I appreciate going just us two girls, so we can actually DO something while we're there!

[hightown]

I will be!! Along with dd age 9 and dm age 70. Will be at YC 9/1-9/8 on the Fairytale package. CANNOT wait.

Who else???

[familyoffiveAZ]

09/23 - 09/30 here too, but at the Polynesian (unless I change my mind again). It'll be dh's first trip ever and my first trip in many years. We're celebrating our 5th anniversary, a bit belated (can't make it in August). First lengthy vacation with no kids as well.....hopefully I won't feel to guilty for leaving them.

[patgoofy]

:D We'll be staying at the Contemporary tower room for the 2nd year in a row. My sister and 10 year old niece will be coming with us (first time they were there was 5 years ago) I can't wait to see the look on my niece's face when she sees the view from the tower Oh by the way we'll be there September 20-27!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[callaghan]

9/23 - 9/30 at the Poly!!! DH's first trip ever, DD 4 and DD 1 first trip ever and I'll be returning after a 13 year break. Never stayed in site, I am so excited. It is all I talk about.

Counting the days!!

(PS How do you add a counter to your signature?? It would make it much easier!!)

[melindaandrob]

:bounce: Sept. 17-27, this started out as a 6 night trip, isn't it amazing how you can justify a trip with AP's and then a tax return can cover an extra few days......if we don't have takeout for 6 months..........if dh would let me cut his hair I could save.....

I am going to cover myself in lime green duct tape, ribbons whatever. I have yet to meet a fellow diser!

[Pamlur]

We'll be there with kids and grandkids (10 of us in all) 9/6-9/13. Staying at BCV.

[TerriP]

My husband and I are celebrating our FIFTH year of marriage at AKL September 20 - 27. I'll have on some lime green ribbon...hope to see some of you! ;)

[momo2qts]

We will be going on August 30 and staying thru September 7th. We usually go later in September. I hope the crowds are just as small this time around. We will be staying at the AKL for the first time. We can't wait!!:D

[star2500]

Hey Everyone!

I just booked FTP last week:

Sept. 27 - Oct 4th
Poly LV Conceirge
2 Adults/2 Kids

I can't wait! My original plan was the last week in August. I really didn't want to pull the kids out of school. But after a long talk with DH he says with this being the kids' first time, the $ we are spending and being there only 7 nights (in the past prior to kids we stayed at least 10 nights)...he felt it would be much better this time of year. So I bit the bullet and did it....and the more I think of it I totally agree.

Anybody else been there this time? Any advice with crowds?

Thanks a bunch!

Kim

[4dizfans]

Our family will be staying at the Polynesian from Sept. 20-27th. We'll have our two DD with us. They have been asking to go back since our trip last September!:)

[momo2qts]

Hi,
Last year we went Sept 21-28 and it was great. We also debated as to whether to pull the kids out of school. We chose correctly. There were no lines. The kids actually started to complain that their legs hurt from walking the waiting line. Then I explained we normally would be waiting in the line and they were happy to walk it.:D You won't regret it.:wave:

[star2500]

I feel better with this decision. We will be able to get way more done this time of year. My original plan was the end of August through Labor Day weekend. After reading some posts....that Labor Day weekend gets very crowded there.

Has anyone have any experience with the Halloween show at Disney? Our last night there Oct. 3 will be the first night. The park will close at 6 and reopen for the special Halloween night til midnight. I am just wondering is it worth the money? Especially being our last night at the resort? I have the FTP passes and to have to pay over $100 for those hours...I just don't know what to do...:confused:

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

[kellympmo]

My DH & I will be at the BWV (1 bedroom) Sept. 21-28 on the FTP. It will be our first time at BWV-very excited. My one concern...Is the pool area very big? We stayed at the BC in 2001 and the BCV in 2002. While there were always many people there, we were always able to find a spot that was somewhat secluded and quiet in the late afternoon (I'm thinking of the lazy river part). I know that SAB is unlike most resort pools and that the BW pool will likely not compare. In looking at the pictures, the BW pool looked somewhat small. Is it just the pictures? Is it always crowded? Will we find that sort of fun/quiet spot? (Thanks for the help!)

We will also be staying at Universal at the PBH Sept. 19-21. We stayed there last year and absolutely loved it! We are going to be so tired when we finally get back to work.:D

7/91- DD hotel
10/01- BC
9/02- PBH & BCV
9/03- PBH & BWV

[magicmouse2]

Staying at CSR 9/20-9/27 - booked the FT package so we are going 2 months earlier than originally planned.

Gotta get started on our priority seatings!!!!!

:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[BlessedMomOfTwo]

September 13th-21st at the CSR. Dh & I haven't been there in years and it will be the first trip for our two little ones, ages 3 & 5.

[dmonroe]

We'll be at BCV Sept 14-20, plus we'll be at HRH Sept 12-14! I'm so excited! I'm going with 2 of my best friends and we're taking my 4 yo ds--his 4th trip! Dh didn't want to go this time! It's amazing how much cheaper it is to leave him at home!;) Dividing things by 3 makes it much more affordable!:D

[dawgsgirl]

Will be there Sept 13-21 at Ft Wilderness Cabins. Our first trip ever!!! Very Excited!!

[elfbo]

We will be there sept 16-23. This is our delayed honeymoon and DH's first ever trip to any of the disney parks, and my first time staying on site. We will be at POR and I am glad to read that the parks arent nearly as crowded in sept. Hope the weather is better also!!

:Pinkbounc :sunny: :Pinkbounc

[BikeFan]

We'll be there from 9/20 to 9/27 - taking Mom, Wife, Daughters (5 & 1), and The Boy (4). First time for the kiddies. Can NOT wait!!

[JKW]

YEA!! We'll be there Sept 18-28 at YC Conc. We've never been to WDW in September. The kids picked the resort and the husband the month. I'm just happy to be going...................

See ya real soon!!!!

[WDW Dad]

Tim

[mclori]

Sept 8-15 Poly. Made our plane reservations tonight, got the 7-for-4 via Disney Club a few weeks ago.

[MScott1851]

We will be at the WL for our first anniversary trip September 17-24! Got such a good deal on the 7 for 4 package that we are taking a couple of days to see Universal, too!

[Dad]

Will be at WL Sept. 14th - 21st.

I have a feeling this September will be much more crowded than previous Septembers. I hope they extend the park hours.:)

[jsabatini]

My wife & I will be at the Swan 9/20 - 9/27 for our 15 yr. anniv. This will be the 3rd year in a row going this time of year, first w/out the kids.

[POLY1985]

We're going Sept 13-Sept 20 at the Wilderness Lodge. We had booked All Star Movies but when the Fairytale Pkg came out we upgraded. We're so excited - this is our first time at WL. Hope the package won't make this time too crowded. Sept 2000 we just walked on all the rides with virtually no waiting.

[diathoney]

We'll be at BCV for the first time. DH, DS, DD and I have a 1 bedroom. We're renting points from a DVCer (also a first). We've toured BC, but never stayed there. I can't wait to try out SAB!

[Cameo]

We will be in the World 9/22-10/1. First four nights at BC and last five nights at Poly via SOG overflow rates. It will be my DD's sixth birthday on 9/24. Can't wait for her to celebrate her special day!!

[hightown]

bumping this back to first page...

I've already posted. I was worried about our time being busy, 9/1-9/8 but in reading this thread, not many will be there around that time. Think we'll be all alone in the parks? NOT

Who else going in September???

Sharon

[butterfly]

Hi,
My DH and I will be at WL 9/7 thru 9/10. We're refugees from POFQ and got the $10/ night upgrade. After WDW, we're staying at the RPR in Universal for three days. I've got all my dinner PSeatings made and a ressie for Tchoup chop. The last time we were in WDW was 9/98 and thought it was a great time to visit and avoid crowds of students, families, kids, strollers, etc. (Now, I love kids, I've got two, but September 10th is our wedding anniversary and it is our time to travel ). But there we were, in the shuttle from the airport with a family with two children. They took their kids out of school only a week after they had gone back to school from summer vacation, because they thought like us that it wouldn't be so crowded. Boy, were we wrong! There were still lots of families with kids (there must have been a dip in school attendance clear across the country that week). Anyway, we can hardly wait. :)

[hightown]

BUMP :Pinkbounc

Butterfly, still bunches of kids in the off times. Got to watch out for those cattleguards, aka strollers, folks push! We go then because our elementary schools are on year round schedule. So she gets 3 week breaks several times during the year. It's been great! I know schools in England/UK are year round too so we've always noticed lots of familys with British accents.

Enjoy your trip to the WL and happy upcoming anniversary!

[K9pal]

We'll (DH and I) will be at the Beach Club 9/15-9/22. We LOVE to go in September, hope the crowds aren't too bad this time. Had originally planned 4 or 5 days, now thanks to the FT Package we'll be there for 7!
The last time we were there, we arrived the day before 9/11/01 :( . Immediately after, the tropical storm moved in. So we're hoping to make it up this time.
Hope to see some fellow DISers there!

[rickc77]

I'll be on a solo trip.......just had to try the courtyard at marriot.....just couldn't let there deal get by.

I'll be there from 9/3 to 9/11

just can't wait

[snwwhite]

I will be there September 17-21 at the Swan. My first solo trip to the world. I can't wait!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[Pig Pen]

We have ressies for a studio at BCV for 9/7-9/12 (DVC members). We will add days either before or after at another resort - probably AKL this time. I'm hoping for a nice round of autumn AP rates!

Our annual passes expire on 9/19....boo hoo!

[hucifer]

Staying at the North Garden Wing at Contemporary through SoG. This is DH's first time at Disney World! This is my first time staying at the CR.

I am one of those people who are freaking out about the Fairytale Package interferring with my favorite time to visit! I hope it doesn't get too busy. September is a fabulous time to go.

[dcg0317]

DS and I will be there from Sept 27 - Oct. 4. We're staying at the CSR, his first trip and my second, been too long and I can't wait or should say we can't wait.
:bounce: :Pinkbounc

[Cleokitty]

We'll be there, DH, DD7, DD5 from 9/17-9/23. We are also on a year-round school schedule so our girls will be out for three weeks in Sept. Staying at the Poly for the first time! Can't wait!

[bbruinsfan]

I will be there from Sept 27th to October 5th with my two nieces ages 13 and 15. My third Disney trip and their first since they were little. We'll be staying at the Boardwalk Inn(first time staying there-can't wait!). Hopefully there won't be too many teenage boys staying there at that time, because both girls are totally boy-crazy!

Melissa

[ShaneV]

Well be in the WL Sep 20 -27 th :)

[hightown]

Just thought I'd bump this back up.....

[Majestic]

Wooohoo! I have been an avid RADP reader but just recently was pointed over to disboards. I can't believe I didn't find this place sooner!

We are heading down for a stay at Wilderness Lodge Concierge from 9/12 to 9/21. DD 3rd birthday will be on the 13th so we plan on doing something special all day for her. :)

We can't wait to go! It's great to know that there will be sooooo many others from here down there when we are.

Fred

[jkovick]

Aug 30- Sept 4 at All Star Movies.

First trip this year, can hardly stand the wait. Is it August yet?

[LvsTnk]

Just me and my DS (11) with special needs at the BWI. This will be the 4th time I have taken him for his birthday. I love how empty the parks are.:D

[corky805]

We will be at WL concierge from Sept. 12 - Sept. 20. I have been to WDW more times than I can count but this is our first time ever staying on Disney property. We are so excited!! My DH says I am possibly bordering on obsession!! :eek: I keep telling him there is no such thing as a Disney obsession!! LOL

[disobsessed]

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


WOOHOOO!! Me, me, me!!! (Oh and DH, DS (4), and DD(9)) Cannot wait - will be staying AKL Concierge, Sept 19-26 and then HRH 9/27. My first deluxe stay/concierge trip! I am just too excited, and I am not sure how I will manage to wait!

[KLRI]

My family will be at the WL August 29th through Sept. 7th. This is almost a repeat of our 2000 trip, except a little longer and with our son (I was expecting when we were there in 2000). Regarding how busy it will be, when we were there in 2000, the only line that I remember was for Fantasmic. Can't wait!

Fred -

Do you know about the lime green ribbon? I don't know too much, but I guess people on these boards wear a lime green ribbon (or something) when at WDW to identify themselves as part of the DIS boards.

There are also cast members who frequent these boards who might be able to identify you by a lime green ribbon. You never know...

I'm going to give it a try in September, when we are at WL...

Mary

[dcg0317]

If you have a Home Depot in the arrea go to there paint dept. They have BEHR paint samples in the shape of Mickeys head. They have some lime green ones "Sonic Boom". I'm haveing some of mine laminated and going to put on my luggage to ID it at the airport and also put on my fanny packs. My DS has no idea yet but he'll have one too.
Have fun.

Great info! I love this place already!!! I can see myself having 1000 posts within a week. :)

We will be there sept 14-21 at the BCV- studio. This is right after our first DCL cruise. I am very excited to go.

We leave tomorrow for 2 weeks in florida to visit relatives and friends. Then Sept it will be all Mickey and Walt.

Really, can't wait. We are just like the family in the commercials. They play some Disney music and the little girl says "this is how they get in the mood." We listen to our Music around the World CD. Some of the tunes just put me right back in the middle of the Magic Kindgom.

[gcooker]

We will be there Sept 28 - Oct 5

First time with the 4 of us. AKL

(Golly, this is my first post!)

Hubby and I are celebrating our 5th anniv. a bit early at WL. Orginally thought about the All-Stars, then upgraded to POR, and hubby decided to include my Sept. birthday, and upgrade us to WL with the Silver Package , (he's planning on a few rounds of Golf) The lodge looks lovely.

Hubby has never been before, and I've made it about one each decade. I've never stayed on site before and have yet to see the AmK or DStu.

I'm heading out today to get my green ribbon.

PS: How do I get a count down clock to add to my signature???

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[MLbooks]

Wyndale -

Welcome to the boards!

To get a countdown timer - go back to DIS Forums page, and at the bottom, go to Technical Support - there is a thread with full instructions on getting a countdown timer!

We also decided to upgrade from an All-Stars to WL after the FTP information became available here on the boards.

Mary

[Wyndale]

Thanks, Mary!

As I say...I'm new here. I appreciate your help!:smooth:

We are going Aug 31st - Sept 5th and also hope that it wont be extra busy during labor day. We went about this time last year and it was great.

I looked for Disr's last year and never saw one lime green ribbon - maybe I just was looking at the wrong time :-)

I am going to Home Depot to get those Behr samples in lime green. :)

Wow it is so cool that your DH's name is Fred too! Don't tell me your name is the same as my wife's???? (Renee)

You will see us running around with a 3 year old named Julia. She is .... well.....very energetic to say the least! You won't be able to miss her. (Her birthday is on the 13th.)

Hey EJandMD we'll be there honeymooning at the same time!! 9/15 - 9/22. We arrive at MCO on Monday morning after our Sunday wedding and will be staying 8 days & 7 nights thanks to the FTPackage.

I proposed at the wishing well by Cinderella's castle last July, and we just couldn't think of a better place to spend our honeymoon.

Congrats EJandMD - See you there.


PS.

Is it just me or is everyone staying at the WL?

[MLbooks]

Caldonia -

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! And YES, it does seem that everyone is staying at WL! We are going 9/23-9/30. I mentioned to my husband yesterday that for a resort with only 800 rooms, there seemed to be LOTS of people staying there with the FTP!!!

I will be there Sept 24-Oct 3. With me will be my 80 year old mother. She says she is game for all the rides. Got Mikey head paint samples alien green for me and some orange color for her since she hates green and doesn't really understand the lime green thing.

ROFL! That "older" girl is my wife Renee!! Can't wait to show her this thread. She will get a kick out of it. :P

We can't wait to get there either. TIme keeps ticking away but not fast enough sometimes. :bounce:

We never really buy the pics they take of us entering parks or whatever but when we saw this one I had to. It is a really good picture of us with a great backdrop.

Looking at our two posts, it is funny to see how close our countdown clocks are. Where are you guys flying from if you don't mind me asking.

We are flying from Pittsburgh. I actually think they are even closer than it looks. When I was making the countdown I couldn't remember exactly what time our flight left so I estimated. We leave at 9:10 in the morning.

I really do hope to see you and your family there as I have really enjoyed chatting with you....and of course now I will need to apologize to your DW!

[Majestic]

Our flight leaves the airport at 8:30am and arrives at MCO around 11:15am on the 12th.

My wife and I are looking forward to having company while down there. It should be lots of fun!!! Heck, we may even end up checking in at the same time. Hahaha.

Uggg....84 more days.....

We are getting a great laugh from these comments! My DW says that she is going to look great at 80! :)

The picture is like the best family photo that we have. Funny thing is, we weren't even going to buy it but decided to stop and look. We thought it came out great so....well...you know the rest. Heh!

I have Renee behind me busting my chops at how I have a young looking wife!

Okay, don't be embarrassed about that one...when I first looked at Fred's picture, my first thought was exactly the same..."oh his children are so far apart in age."

Fred, that's one young-looking wife ya got there. ;)

[Peddler]

We will be there Sept 2-4 at VB in a cottage and 5-9 at BWV in 2bdrm. This is a great time to go great weather and small crowds.

[hucifer]

By the way, Fred and Renee, my DH and I will be there the same days as you...Sept 12 - 21. Although, unlike about 90% of the people on this thread are at the WL, we are staying at the CR. Since I won't see you at my resort, I'll keep an eye out at the parks for a man with two children very far apart in age. ;)

And I agree with you Fred...that is a GREAT picture of your family. It's always the pics you don't anticipate that become a favorite.

[Majestic]

Well, at least we are next door as far as hotels are concerned. Just a boat ride away! Maybe we should start a new thread...."Who's staying from September 12th to the 21st?".

Hahah...I am getting a great kick out of this. This place helps us pass the time away before the very special day!

Our little one will be celebrating her 3rd birthday on the 13th so we are planning a fun filled (and exhausting) day for her.

Our plan for our stay is to do one day in the parks and one day "off" or in the hotel pool or something. This way we get some time to relax. I highly recommend you try to schedule at least two "pool" days. They really do work! :)

We'll, (DW,DS,DII), be at WL Sept. 14th - 21st.
It looks like it will be a DIS reunion.
I'll look for the Green Ribbons and a guy saying "no she's not my daughter she's my wife"

[Disney-Kim]

We have had a resort change...we decided to stay at the CBR now. :smooth: :smooth:

[LeftCoaster]

September 10-16 at CBR for me and best friend. THen have another friend and her best friend also at CBR around the same dates. Managed to snag an Illuminations Cruise too. Woohoo!

LOL!!!! :p

We ARE neighbors. Very cool. I am planning on throwing in a couple of water park days in there. That may exhaust us more, I don't know. What do you have planned for your younger daughter's birthday? ;)

LOL, Dad..."no she's not my daughter she's my wife"

[Ven]

WoW...alot of posts, (I didn't read them all :eek: )

Very first family trip from Aug 30th - Sept 5th
DH, DD, DD and DS (they have never been) and me (only been once before)

Staying at the Contemporary Tower View Room. I'm already so excited I think I'm gonna pee my pants!!

[Majestic]

Well, not if you go to Typhoon Lagoon and just float around in a tube in the lazy river. :) It's a MUST!!! :p

We don't have the whole day planned as of yet but it is definately going to be in the Magic Kingdom allong with Breakfast at Chef Mickeys. We'll just have to go from there. I will be working with the concierge staff to help me plan more.

He aint heavy....he's my....well....couldn't that be ...... nah I better quit while I am ahead. :)

Sept 25th to Oct 2 WL Concierge here we come !!!

[*Flower*]

CR North Garden Wing (SoG)

Sept. 19 - 21.

We won't be down in July or Aug (even though we did get an invite to the AP MISSION SPACE event in Aug. DH has a final that week, so we decided that he should pass the course instead of broiling at WDW.
I have a permanent lime green ribbon attached to my belly bag (I refuse to call it a fanny pack), and so far only one DISer has recognized it. I keep trying though.......

Lazy rivers are part of the water park plans. I will pretty much guarantee that by the time my first-timer DH gets to a water park, that's all he'll want to do. *sigh* He's not the spring chicken that I am.

We are going to Chef Mickey's the evening before. Someone on this DISboard suggested it was a great way to introduce DH to WDW. I've never been there, so it will be a first for both of us.

I'll be wearing something lime green during my trip. Hope to see the other 1000 DIS folks going Sept 12 - 21!

[Majestic]

We have been in touch with the wonderfull staff in Concierge at the lodge for a week or so now. They have been very helpfull in planning our vacation. We are getting more and more excited as time marches on. Only a little over two months to go!!!

[DDLAMP]

We'll be there (me, dh and ds - 8) 9/20-9/26 staying in Downtown Disney but still hoping for room-only code (hint, hint LOL). Finally going to finish the trip we started two years ago, we were there Sept. 11th and had to cut our stay short to get back home:(. This time we'll be there for my birthday on 9/23 (and no, I'm not telling you how old I'll be)!! Now I need to get one of those countdown thingies for my posts!

[LIFERBABE]

I'm pulling double duty! August and September. 8/29/03-9/6/03 at the Contemporary North Garden Wing.
2nd trip in 3 mos. and I'm still excited!

[joyjoy]

August 30 - September 6 here. I'm about to explode I'm so excited. We're staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge this time and it is me, my 17 y.o. daughter, my boyfriend and his 13 y.o. daughter. Woo!:Pinkbounc

[loubelou]

We will be staying at the WL Sept. 20-27.

DH, Me, DS - 6, & DS - 9

My SIL and BIL will be right next door with their 6 yo daughter.

We plan to do a few meals with them, but since my neice likes the princesses and all the girl stuff and my boys like all the boy stuff we really don't even try to stick together for park touring.

We can't wait for our trip. Last time we spent 4 nights and it just wasn't enough. We're hoping that 7 nights will allow us to move at a more relaxed pace.

[MLbooks]

We're going to WL 9/23 - 9/30 with me, DH, and DSs, 6 and 7.

Loubelou - maybe our boys can all hook up at some point.

[MScott1851]

Our seven night FTP at Wilderness Lodge (Sept 17-24) has been reduced to THREE DAYS (Sept 17-20)! My husband overruled me and wanted to go across town to "that other place"...I did dig in my heels and now we are splitting the vacation at least....

Sniff, sniff. I was looking forward to the WL, now I'm relegated to the Hilton.

I will tell you this...He wants to cut it short, he WILL be commando touring with me so I can see everything I want to! ;) ;) ;)

[treehugger]

Me, DH, DS1 Family (BIL, 3 Children), DS2 Family (BIL, 3 Children) will be invading the World September 20 - 27.

DH and I (Hopefully Somoa) DS2 Family (Hopefully Rarotonga) are staying at the Poly, DS1 and her Family will be at Fort Wilderness Cabins. I can't wait to experience the Magic through the eyes of my nieces and nephews, who will be seeing Disney for the first time. I promised them all a Pal Mickey of their own! What other place on earth can offer such happiness for a family vacation? Disney's FTP has allowed 6 children to have memories that will last a lifetime, and for that we are grateful.

[jlieblaw]

We'll be there Sept. 7-12. It will be our first time at WL. We're taking my DD (2 yr. old), DH, my mother, father and sister. I'm hoping for lots of magic while we there. We went at the end of Sept. last year and it was not crowded at all. I'm hoping it will be the same way this year.

[wishiwasatdisney]

DH and I will be staying at the AKL Sept. 14 -21. Its our wedding

anniversary trip.(25 years) So for the first time we are going

without DS and DD . First time staying at this resort. I can't wait

to see everything that I have been reading about.:D

[nancyL]

And told her to book us 9/12-9/23 at the Beach Club. Cant stop giggling!
Last year I stuck a lime green "roll" of yarn on the stroller- its still there along with the MNSSHP stickers my son put on the wheels. I cant believe we're going again!
Hee hee hee!
:p :p :p :p

[jordanyosh]

Just thought I would start bumping this up to remind people that we are all going really soon:D

[pwcarlson]

wishiwasatdisney,

We will be at BCV at the same time for the same reason! Wow , Congrats on your 25th. Can you believe that you were married for that long? I know I can't believe we are hitting the big 25th.
We are doing a 3 day cruise starting on the 11th then moving over to WDW. DH wanted to do the cruise and I wanted to do the resort so we are doing both.

Have a great time. We all will be there soon!!!

:bounce: :bounce:

[cinmell]

[Wyndale]

I wanted to see my countdown clock!

We'll be at WL from 9/6 to 9/13! We're celebrating our 5th anniversary and my ??th birthday!

I'm way too excited to be spending this much time at WDW, I've never stayed on site before, and have never had more than two days to visit in the past.

We stopped in at DTD a few years ago, before we headed out on a cruise, and just loved DQ! Can't wait to go back.

We're going the Silver Package route, so hubby can get in a few rounds of golf, while I chill out at the spa! Just too Cool!

I've got my green Micky, but just what color green I'm not sure. (I trimed him down and forgot to notice what it was called!) If you see us, stop and say hello!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Seems like it may be a busy week!:smooth:

[Jakesmom1]

All day I have been saying " one month from today I will be at WDW! ( I really think the people at work have had enough).

Hoping hurricanes stay away on that week and every week for that matter so that everyone can experience some Disney Magic!!!

[jordanyosh]

Bump

[obnurse2003]

Another vote for September 21-27th. Staying off-site at the Vistana Resorts. Will be at MK on the 26th and Epcot/MGM on the 22nd. Other than that, doing Hoop-Dee-Doo that week and RELAXING at the resort!

Looks like September 20-27th will be BUSY!!!

[rugratsmom66]

Yet another vote for September 18th-23rd. We'll be staying at WL.

[Tigger1028]

My dh, dd and myself will be there from 9-3 till 9-12. We will be staying at the Wilderness Lodge for the first time. We usually stay at the Beach Club, but my dh wanted to try this so we are. We have eaten there before , so we have been in there. I can't wait!!! Joan

[stonewall1]

Will be there 9/6 thur 9/14, still trying to make up our minds where to stay.....waiting on the AP code......maybe!. Have a great time!!!!!

[TravelinGal]

Hi! We will be at POR the 20-27th FTP Silver.

This trip is a graduation present for my (twin) stepsons.

Their mother had always "forbid" their father taking them to WDW ("I'm going to take them. It's MY right, I'm their mother" BLECH!!) So a few years ago he put his foot down and said that if she hadn't taken them by the time they graduated that he was going to take them and too bad if she didn't like it! (neener neener :p ) Well, obviously, she never got off her cheap *** and took them - so we get the joy of introducing the boys to Disney! :Pinkbounc

Of course, my being a travel agent and major Disney fan had NOTHING to do with making sure DH kept his promise to the boys (snicker;) )

Will have to browse through these 10 pages and see who else is there that week!

Waiting for 20 Sep with baited breath!
Robin

[TravelinGal]

OK...
I get that we are supposed to wear a lime green ribbon somewhere on ourselves...but WHERE? And are we talking bow or ribbon like the memory ribbons or.... I hope to see some lime green while I'm at WDW!!!

(and why lime green?)

Robin

[Majestic]

Someone else will have to answer WHY green but I will tell you that you can go to Home Depot and go to the Paint section. Look for a display that has Disney Behr brand paint. They have samples that are actually shaped like Mickey heads!! Get the "Alien Green" if they have it. If not, get something that is close to Lime Green.

We got plenty of them at the local store by us. All ready for our stay from 9/12 to 9/21. (Notice how 12 and 21 are the same with numbers reveresed?)

[bs22]

My wife and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary from 9/19-9/26 at the GF (with the Fairytale package, we decided to splurge). Neither of us has been there in about 10 years, so we can't wait to see all the new stuff!

My DH and I will be there (alone!) for our 25th anniversary from 9/7-9/13. It looks like we won't be the only ones there! Yikes......I hope it's not too crowded. We've never been there in September so I wouldn't know about the lower attendance, anyway. This is only our 3rd trip to Disney and can't wait!

[Laurabearz]

We just booked a trip..... Sept 19 and 20th AKL then on to the BWV from the 21st checking out the 24th.

[amymouse]

I'm taking my sister for her first trip to WDW! I'm not sure how she got be 40 years old and never got to go WDW. So we are going remedy that oversight Sept 17-24. I took advantage of the FTP for her room and am still hoping to re-book my room under AP rates (now who's in Fantasyland?) I decided to stay at All-Star Movies since I think the theming will be lots fun for a "first-timer."
