    Port Orleans French Quarter - no preferred rooms?

    The resort is so small compared to other mods that POFQ doesn't have preferred rooms. You could probably say they are all "preferred" because everything is a relatively short walk to the pool, the food court, transportation (either bus or boat to DTD) and reception.

    Does this MK plan sound do-able?

    I have to agree that you're probably underestimating the time you'll need for your standby rides. With an approx. 30min window for each, that doesn't leave much time to walk to the attraction, wait in line and go through the ride (especially longer ones like PoTC and ETWB). Some of your schedule...

    Question about the Seas with Nemo at Epcot

    Yes, easy peasy! You can just enter through the gift shop. One way or another, they'll get you to walk through it at least once lol.

    backstage safari tour

    I did it a few years ago for a special birthday celebration. For some reason, there were no crocodiles under one of the suspension bridges which took away some of the excitement but it was still an excellent tour. I loved the extra info and time we got on the savannah. We got beautiful close-up...

    • • The Official September 2014 Thread • •

    I'm with you all on this exciting countdown thanks to Elevationist for the suggestion in another thread. This will be the first trip for my BFF's kids (I love seeing people experience WDW for the first time) then I'm sticking around a few days for my first solo trip. I've been doing Sept F&W...

    Anyone going in September 2014?

    Will be there Sept 17-24 with friends/family and doing MNSSHP. I'm then staying on an extra 4 days for my first solo trip ever! Might do the 4-Park Challenge one day and booked a few new signature restaurants to try on my own. We were lucky to get FD at POFQ, as well as all the FP+ and ADRs...

    First Timer, Best Counter Service Meals?

    Can't go wrong with very most options at Epcot, but some of my favourites are either Sunshine Seasons at the Land Pavilion (so many healthy choices!) or Tangerine Cafe at the Moroccan pavilion. The portions are huge and it's an "exotic" meal that I find really tasty. Just tell them to stay away...

    Official 2014 MNSSHP Guest List (and discussion) Thread

    We're going to MNSSHP on Sept 21 There will be 6 of us running around (3 adults, 3 kids).. it's my BFF's first time with the family but I've been a number of times. Can't wait! Just got our costumes delivered this week and they look great. We're going as a bunch of pirates all coordinated in...

    Help me make a dinning plan.

    As an alternative to CRT, you may want to consider 1900 Park Fare. It's only 1 credit, and usually easier to get an ADR, especially that you are pretty late in the game for October bookings. If you have the time, I would suggest you try daily for the restaurants (like BoG) you really want to get...

    Rule of thumb, paying OOP for snacks?

    we found that even with only one snack credit per day per person, we were ending up with quite a few snack credits left over toward the end of the trip because the dining plan was so much food and no one was ever that hungry. Rule of thumb depends when you're going. If F&W is on at the time...

    Meal Reservation Booking Window?

    ADRs can be made online as of 6:00am EST but keep in mind that the system is often glitchy. You may end up having to call the dining line to make your reservations. Phone lines don't open until 7:00am. I had that happen to me when making our ADRs for our Sept trip (prior to FD announcement)...

    Got a pin code!

    It's crazy how the availability has differed with the latest round of pins going out. I was able to apply the pin I got this week to 2 standard rooms at POFQ. I was mentally prepared to be told nothing was left. Guess we're lucky to be going during a less-busy week mid-Sept. Certainly looks like...

    The Pinless club

    We're currently booked in 2 rooms at POFQ mid-Sept with a RO discount. We've decided that with all the FD release madness, we're not willing to switch resorts and will pay OOP for our meals and keep all our ADRs anyway. I know it's irrational, but I can't help but take it personally that...

    Arrive later than check-in date to get FD

    Oops sorry about that, I don't know how I missed the very important detail of 5 extra days in Orlando. Of course swapping would be a great option for getting FD for the second half of the trip. Good catch thanks.

    Arrive later than check-in date to get FD

    Your friends won't be able to take advantage of FD at all. WDW will not hold a room for them for 2 days if they do not check in in person on Nov 1. Their room would basically be released and they would not qualify for FD if checking in on Nov 3. If they stay at WDW Nov 9-10, that isn't long...

    Free Dining 2014 Discussion

    That was my reaction too. Maybe it's just a system glitch. Now it's showing me an option for a standard room only. Those are usually first to go! Oh well, thankfully not too long until GP release to find out for sure.

    Free Dining 2014 Discussion

    Tried pricing out some back-up options for mid-Sept in case we need to switch for FD (currently at POFQ on room discount PIN) but results are showing absolutely no availability for either CBR or CBR. Anyone else experiencing this? Are they really fully booked? Seems odd given their size and that...

    Recent FD Pin

    We got 4 separate PINs for our family and we all live at different addresses. My Sis even got 2! so we were able to book everyone in our group in separate rooms with FD. Not sure what we did to get so lucky, but I hope it goes public for others to benefit from it.
