Oh yeah, but Costco is the one store I actually like shopping at. Frozen yogurt in a solo cup for $1.35 is just so freakin' awesome. Although Costco just replaced their Coke machine in the snack bar with Pepsi. I'm not quite over that yet, people shouldn't mess with my Diet Coke. And if they are going to, they should at least supply me with wine as a substitute.

Speaking of shopping, I really don't like it so I try to get it done all at one time. Last month I took my husband and boys to Kohls because they all needed a lot of things, especially hubby. We dropped $700. A couple of weeks later we got a card from the CEO of Kohls thanking us for our loyalty. We couldn't stop laughing - that's how you know you spent too much at a store.

Wow card from the CEO that is impressive

I just ordered a couple swim suits for DD from Kohls online.

Don't even joke about snow stopping us. I purposely didn't book at the end of October for precisely that reason. My boys keep telling me this is the year for the Monsoon to ruin Halloween. If snow is in the forecast for my departure date I will be heading to Newark the night before and begging JetBlue to let me take an earlier flight. If that doesn't work maybe we will meet on the road when we are picked up by some trucker while walking down 95.

NO SNOW or ICE

I forget what times your flight on the 13th?

Ours is 7:00 AM flying SWA out of PHL.

Here's our schedule.
17th MK FP Lunch at BOG for 12:50
18th HS Fantasmic pkg lunch at Mama Melroses 2:45 Show at 6:30
19th AK 7:55 dinner at 'ohana
20th MK Dinner at CRT 4:00
21st EP Dinner at Tokyo Dining 6:30
22nd DTD breakfast at 1900 10:10
23rd Universal
24th IOAA

I'm beginning to think that EasyWDW is going to be wrong about HS being a good pick for the 18th, we are all going to be there. See you all in the FP line for Fantasmic!

I'm a very impressive person, can't you tell?

9:15am Jetblue out of Newark. My husband thought I was nuts when I suggested flying out on the 7am flight - I was trying not to miss a minute in Disney. If the flight is on time we should be landing a couple of minutes before noon.

Actually you are the 9th now. I think we should all book a Fast Pass together and show up at the ride with our LGMH front and center.

It looks like a lot of us from this group are going the week before. We'll probably see one another and do double takes wondering where we know each other from.

I just hope no one else but us followed EasyWDW! It's our only day there, we have to make the most of it! Yup. Got my Fantastic FP+ all set. : )

I think it's just a lot of knowledgeable DISers going that's what I'm telling myself

That would be fun we have to do something

I'm crossing my fingers.

After doing the Agent P Adventures we may start thinking you are all spies working for Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

Right? It's like the electronic signs on Route 80, if it says the local lanes are backed up and to take the express, if everyone listens then the express lane gets backed up. I have determined that whatever decision I make, it is the wrong one. All of you with similar park days better be aware.

I think it's just a lot of knowledgeable DISers going that's what I'm telling myself

Hope so.

That would be fun we have to do something

At the very least we should raise up a Mickey Bar and toast.

 

[AMateus]

Got my FP for fantasmic on the 18th as well! Lol

11/11: Arrival day. Go to MVMCP
11/12: ?? (Depends on how tired we are. It's by bday and I was hoping for a BoG FP+ for lunch. No luck, thus far)
11/13: HS (8:10 breakfast at H&V)
11/14: Give Kids the World for the day
11/15: Maybe MK in the morning or AK then Epcot for EMH
11/16: ??
11/17: Possibly AK/HS for EMH
11/18: wherever we feel like going and then ending with MK
11/19: Departure day. 10:45 Chef Mickey's breakfast

We are going to be fine-tuning things probably up until the day we arrive. With a 4 year old, we're not going to be too much "by the book." We have 5 day PH tickets and also hope to have one day of rest or just to go to DTD/hang at the resort.

Any suggestions? I didn't list our FP+.

Hey, you people are slacking. Why didn't any of you tell me about this: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/pirates-adventures/ ???

Did y'all see the new park hours for Thanksgiving week?

 

[Sheilby]

Did y'all see the new park hours for Thanksgiving week?

No, what are the changes? I'm not sure if I am looking at an old list or a new one. I'm still hoping they don't extend hours during my week.

edited to add: uh-oh they did change some of ours too. I will resist the urge to change things around. Animal Kingdom will now be open until 7pm on November 16th - I heard Expedition Everest is pretty great in the dark, but we were intending to leave much earlier. They didn't extend Hollywood studios on our night, but they did extend MK on the 13th to 10pm, on the 16th to 11pm, but left it at 9pm for the 19th - on the 18th they have EMH at MK until midnight. I wish HS was closing at 9 instead of 8. With an 8pm close a lot of people will stay there and then still hop to MK for another 4 hours.

Ok , time for a few more hints and tips from xipo!!!

(Since last one was so popular)

I have been reading some posts and thought I would give my VAST WDW experience to answer them. ;P

1, SNOW, its a soap mixture, non-toxic obviously. It doesn't taste bad either ( yes I added that , you know someone's kid will want to catch it on their tongue)

That is EXACTLY the reason I wanted to know.

That sounds like fun!!

Right? Now I'm tempted to switch our arrival day to MK since it is open until 10 now and my kids LOVE any kind of quest. I wish we booked a longer trip.
