    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    We're 85 days from our trip!! I've been busy with school work, but I have a two week break and that means Disney planning time! I was looking for some inexpensive and easy to transport ways we could decorate our room at Caribbean Beach for Halloween. I was able to find an inexpensive window...

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    We've had a busy week! I had my first camp out this weekend and we had such a blast. The weather was gorgeous, the property we stayed on was just lovely and the people we met were so great. I really hope they'll decide to host again next year! I'd love to go back again. The weather has...

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    Today, it's all about what to wear! This past weekend, Hubs and I went to a cosplay dance party. I don't usually go with him to his cosplay things, but when your husband asks you out on a date, you go!! I stressed about what to dress as for weeks and couldn't decide on anything. I was going to...

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    I'm really excited about the resort activities. I read on another board that last year, they had a costume parade, trick-or-treating and lots of Halloween themed games and things. It also gives a little more structure to our day (I'm a girl who likes a plan). HS has never held much appeal for...

    When will Christmas lights be on Cinderella Castle?

    We will literally just miss it! Bummer. The last MNSSHP is on Halloween this year, because I had hoped there would be one on 11/1 and there isn't. Oh well, now we have a goal for the next time we go!

    When will Christmas lights be on Cinderella Castle?

    Our last day in the park will be November 3. I think some of the Christmas decorations will be up by then, but will the lights be on the castle?

    Adulting is Hard, So I'm Running Away! ~ An Oct 2016 PTR ~ Update 10/19: Peace Out, Yo!

    The Night Circus Hi there! I'm new. Also travelling to WDW in October, we will arrive just before you leave. I had to say, this is one of my favorite books of all time. I know what you mean about the visuals. I could practically smell the food while I read (and re-read) this book. I want to...

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    It's another cold, dreary day in PA, so I'm distracting myself with trip planning! We have several coming up. A weekend in Williamsburg, VA, a weekend up the mountains, a few days at the beach and my very first camping trip (which I'm totally having anxiety over, but I shouldn't even get started...

    Late October Touring Plan

    Right?! Us, too and we're staying at CBR, which means a really early departure from what I've been reading.

    Late October Touring Plan

    I wanted to be sure to get one day in with the Fall decorations and (hopefully) on day with the Christmas decorations. We're going to also make MK the last park day, which will be November 3.

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    Wishing we could stay longer the last time was a huge motivator for this trip! We'll be there a total of 9 days, but we're only getting 6 days of non-hopper tickets. It gives us a day to rest and allows our travel days to be just travel days-something I also wished for on our last trip.

    Late October Touring Plan

    Thanks for all the replies! I apparently didn't subscribe to watch the thread, so I missed them all until now (duh!). Anyway, I settled on doing rope drop on the 28th, which is a party day. It's an EMH day, which will give us a good 11 hours in the park. Perfect for the first day there! Now my...

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    In 2013, My best friend and I took a long girls' weekend trip and stayed at Caribbean Beach Resort. It was during the refurb and we didn't have a renovated room. I didn't love the Nemo theme, but in general I'm not too picky about hotels. I just love to travel! When we went with the kids last...

    Happy Anniversary, Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas!...Oct/Nov '16 PTR 8/3 Update

    Welcome to my first PTR! Allow me to introduce myself and my family (sort of, I'm not using our names). I'm 35 (almost 36), mom of three, and an RN. I love reading, crafts and music. My husband (Hubs) is a 41 year old engineer and has recently started a side cosplay prop business. He and I have...

    Halloween at Caribbean beach resort

    That's awesome!! I was wondering the same thing. Halloween is going to be our "resort and rest" day, and I was hoping they'd have some things so the kids are entertained and don't feel like they're missing Halloween. Do people get dressed up?

    Late October Touring Plan

    We're going to WDW the last week of October into the first week of November and I'm so excited! Since we weren't able to score free dining :worried:, we won't be able to go to MNSSHP. We'd like to hit MK once at the beginning of the trip to see the Fall decorations and once at the end to...

    Family of 5-how would you book?

    No, if we had to purchase the dining plan at a moderate resort, could we purchase the QS or would we be forced to purchase the DDP. I have my answer now. If we got the free dining, we would take advantage of some table meals, but I found last time that table service took up a lot of time, and I...
