In one week from today we'll be winging our way from Denver to Orlando. :woohoo: So much to do between now and then that the time will flash by and I may not have time to post again. So, the last few things (maybe): We'll be stopping at one of the mega-marts on the way from the airport to...

Since we are going to be staying at BCV from 5/30 to 6/6, and the construction there was ongoing last year, does that mean that we'll be spared the majority of the construction that's going on at BC currently? With the resort at 100% capacity (or nearly so) it sounds doubtful that we'd be...

I'm tending to lean that way too - trying to cram everything we want to see at MK in one day would just exhaust us, especially when we have an ADR at Narcoosee's on what would be that one MK day (our big celebration dinner). I think I'll take DD up on her offer to forgo the water parks and...

As the day of departure grows closer (12.5 days and counting), more questions pop up... DD18 loves water parks, but DW hates them. Our package at BCV includes a 6-day ticket w/o the water parks. Originally we were thinking about 5 days at the major parks and then spending OOP for TL or BB...

Graduation announcements and party invitations are mailed. Carpets are clean. Dog is all groomed and looks really cute. Sprinklers are ready for the season. All travel arrangements for DD and DW's big days are complete. Last weekend's performances of the play went great - Industry Night is...

Things are ramping up with DD's HS graduation, DW's birthday, and the WDW trip only 19 days away now. Got the Mickey Mail yesterday :yay:. Carpets getting cleaned today. Dog getting shots and grooming in preparation for her stay at Camp Bow Wow. Sprinkler system getting overhauled later this...

At T-minus 19 days, Mickey Mail has arrived! Relieved to see all ressies are correct and the room will be ready!

Maybe we'll run into you. We'll be in a 1BR villa at BCV May 30-June 6. I just got my Alien Green Mickey the other day; now to remember to pack it.

How small is "small"? I'd hate to get to the front of the line at FJ after a 90-minute wait and have a team member tell me my pack was too big (or would I be stopped before entering the queue?). Does anyone have a photo and/or description of a pack that they have been allowed to take on the rides?

Thanks for the rapid (and humorous) replies! I certainly don't want to be pulling my shorts up from my ankles all day, so I will cut down on the amount of stuff. Don't want anything flying away on FJ! There'll be three of us in our party, so if we divvy up some of this stuff among an equal...

The more I read about strategies for touring US and IOA, the more I want to avoid messing with the lockers and their associated crowd control issues as much as possible. Is it possible to carry enough stuff around in the deep pockets of cargo shorts to be able to successfully and comfortably...

Same here! Since we're arriving on a Monday we won't get the chance until late in our stay, but we're definitely looking forward to it. (T-minus 27 days, no Mickey Mail yet...)

Another vote for ginger pills. Used them for the first time at WDW five years ago and was able to ride things I would never have dreamed of before due to a finicky inner ear. Space Mountain, Mission Space, and this year I'm definitely using them for FJ.

With just a few weeks left and everything planned, now all the little things are starting to creep to the fore and bug the *(&*(^ out of me. For instance: On Saturday 6/4 we have EP scheduled based on touringplans.com recommendations, including a dinner ADR at Akershus for 8:10. Our plan...

Yet another reason why I and so many others are indebted to you for all the hard work you put in maintaining this excellent thread. T-minus 31 days, 22 hours till we leave for Denver International Airport...

I do subscribe to touringplans. Here are the predicted levels for the days we'll be there (scale of 1-10, with 10 being most crowded): May 30: 7 - best park = HS; worst parks = MK, AK May 31: 9 - best = AK; worst = MK June 1: 4 - best = MK, EP, AK; worst = HS June 2: 5 - best = EP...

37 days, 22 hours. We're arriving in May, but just barely! (3:00 pm on the thirtieth).

As I have probably mentioned before, the visit we'll be making to BCV is only our second trip to WDW, the first having been in 2006 when four of us stayed at OKW, which we really enjoyed for its spaciousness. For those of you who have stayed in both places: I understand that the total square...

Oh, absolutely!! We are at 39 days out, and I've done just about all the pre-planning I think I can do without having every spare microsecond lined up (and you all know what a house of cards THAT can become). There's just nothing left to do but keep looking at the boards for some new tidbit...

I'll drink to that! And as a relative newbie myself I can vouch for the fact that if you're even considering BC/YC this is definitely the place to park it for a while and have a good long read.
