Heh.... I had to listen to my husband's teasing for months about my spreadsheet... All the park hours, for each day, with notes on when which parades and fireworks shows were, along with a day-by-day schedule (built flexable for weather) for which days to hit which parks, and when and where...

We were there from 10/22 (23, really, we got in after 11 PM on the 22nd) and came home on 11/2. We had a lot planned, and mostly things went right. The weather was HOT. We only got rained on once... and we happened to be sitting in the hot tub at the resort (Coronado Springs) at the time...

Hubby is a big Mr. Potato Head fan. During our first trip, we couldn't get in, it was 11:00by the time we got there, 90 minute wait, and all fastpasses already distributed for the day. This trip, we scooted over there at rope drop (along with the rest of the horde), got fastpasses (scratch 20...

Let me put my opinion of people staying through the party without paying this way... We got to the parade early. Not quite early enough to grab curb seats, but we were standing behind a family that was sitting down on the curb. Mom, Dad, Grandma, a couple kids in strollers, which they had...

Gotta add that the basic dining plan is more than enough food, unless you're going just to eat. My husband and I did it and, other than drinks and a couple, "oh, I gotta try that" snacks, we didn't pay for anything out of pocket, other than one dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. (Pay attention to...

Ooooh... There is no smiley cool enough for that one.

:banana: :cool1: TWO DAYS! :cool1: :banana:

Sorry, been one of THOSE days. We're staying at Coronado Springs. Mears? I'll go look it up, thanks!

Better safe than sorry.

Y'all were great with how to get to Sea World, got that all set to go. NOW hubby wants to go to Universal, too. Any suggestions on the best way to get there? Preferably easy enough that I won't feel the urge to choke him to death on the way...

Hrm... I'm showing thunderstorms for our first day of the trip. Any idea how much a T-storm will mess up Animal Kingdom? I'm guessing the animals will stay inside.

On a non-party night, I see nothing wrong with grabbing a bag of popcorn (or your other favorite snackie), grabbing a seat, and resting your tired feet while you people-watch as the crowd thins.

I love the dog tag idea! No kids, myself, yet, but I have friends I can pass this on to!

I'm thinking that surrounding it with "carnival" scenery, making the surroundings more like a Dumbo-style circus, will only add to it.

No... In fact, they're celebrating 10 years of trading in 2010: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/tag/pin-trading/

We can live without the free beer tasting, but thanks for the heads up on the dining!

Fortunately, it's just hubby and me, so, just two people to please. (So far, anyway.) I planned the first trip, so hubby said he'd plan the second trip. After about three or four weeks of hearing nothing, I dropped a "how's that planning going?" He hadn't gotten anything done, other than...

So... Coronado Springs to Downtown Disney, catch the #50 bus, hop off at Sea World (ask where to catch it back), and we're off, with nothing to worry about other than eating and NOT spending our Disney Dining Plan points (and making sure we use 'em later). Sounds very do-able, if I get off my...

Oh, yeah, his biggest disappointment with Disney was that there weren't as many big coasters as our local Six Flags. (We're near the new Bizarro...) He's making noises about Universal, as well, but I may limit him to one off-property trip a vacation, and save Universal for next year (when I...
