We are going park commando for the first week because the weekends are saying an 8 and 10 park level. I just don't know if I want to have two off days 1. in a row and 2. so close to the end of vaca.

Opinions please!!!​

joining in!

i also did Flying Fish with the kids, and it was definitely kid friendly. we had amazing service and the kids dessert was so much fun! I'd take them back in a heartbeat.

i like your new plan better- with a down day in the middle. it always helps us on longer trips.

I know this seems like a lot of food, but mt DH is insisting on 3 meals a day. I think 2 a day is plenty, but I am clearly loosing this battle

I just noticed were going to WDW also on 9/29/2012!!!! And were from western MA it looks like were close to you. Are you flying out of BDL?

PS I also noticed in you first post the snow in the background while your kids were trick or treating. We had 18 inches of snow on Halloween. Don’t you love crazy New England!

Yes, we are flying out of BDL. Is that your airports as well.

My husband is from Western Ma!! How funny!
Halloween this year was rough. We participated in a local town "trunk or treat" (Where everyone parks in a parking lot and you go to everyones trunk instead of houses) since we had no power and the streets were unsafe. What a wacky winter - 18 inches on Halloween and then hardly anything the rest of the winter.

Where will you be staying in WDW?

 

[Mrs. Buzz Lightyear]

Yes we're also flying out of BDL on the 29, Small world lol!!!! Were staying at port orleans riverside in a royal guest room. Where in w mass is he from?

Small world! WE are flying at about 7:25 on southwest
He lived in Granville, MA. Where are you out that way?

 

[Mrs. Buzz Lightyear]

We're on the same flight.

 

[earthfaries]

Love the new schedule . That is a lot of food, and you'll probably do just as much eating as you do parks, if not more, lol.

It's super fun though ~ I remember the year we had the free dining plan. Boy was there a lot of food ... but great memories of awesome restaurants we had never tried before.

You're going to have so much fun ​

 

[creativeamanda]

I like your new plans. I think your husband is going to learn very quick that three meals is too much and you'll either be stuffed or start cancelling lunches while you are there.

 

[DLB]

We're on the same flight. We currently live in Westfield.

Thats awesome!! See you there... 153 days and counting!

 

[Mrs. Buzz Lightyear]

We can't wait! Happy vacation planning!!!!!

Joining in! We're headed down 9/15-22!

Last year we decided to fly out of Hartford (on Jetblue) because tickets were $100 less per person round trip, and just an hour longer drive than Boston or Providence. Well wouldn't you know it that we were scheduled to fly back on the 29th... then the snow-pocalypse hit! Guess who was granted 3 extra Disney days (all expenses paid by us... ) - but it was awesome, regardless of the extra cost!

SNOW-POCALYPSE! I love that term! That is exactly what it was. We were driving around searching for gas for my sisters car (she was on empty) and there was no one on the roads, no lights in any houses or buildings. We found one gas station open and it was over an hour wait. We went up to the store part and then owner was locked inside afraid of looters. It was scary.

In Feb 2011 we flew out of Bradley a day early to WDW due to a bad storm. We were the last flight out and it was very scary. I think this year we should be ok in Sept?

We just got back from Cape Cod and love it there. My kids were begging for us to live there. We all decided that the perfect life would be to live in Cape Cod for the summer and Orlando the rest of the year!

Joining in!! I arrive at WDW the day after you leave. You have an adorable family and I love how you told your kiddos.

I have to giggle at your husbands insistence at having three meals a day. I had basic last trip and paid for a few meals OOP and felt like that was so much food. After all of the planning I did prior to the trip we did some ADR changes in WDW because we couldn't imagine eating another meal. It is cool you let him win but I have a feeling you will end up being able to say I told you so.

I love POFQ!! Have you tried Wolfgang Puck Express yet? It is my favorite quick service and I consider it one of the best reasons to stay at a Downtown Disney area resort.

Signing onto your PTR! We are going during a similar time frame in 2013! We love POFQ. The size of the resort is wonderful and it is so quiet! I haven't staying at any other moderate reosrt, but I don't know if I need to! I was in love from day 1!

 

[DLB]

Man, I really can't believe we are getting so close to the end of summer which means we are close to our return to Disney!!!

I haven't been on the boards much because this summer has been so packed full of fun! No time

We have one more trip to Cape Cod coming up and then the kids will have their tonsils out, back to school and then I will need to start my planning into high gear!!!

Hope you are all enjoying your summers as well.

I agree with you.. I look at the others, but I can't imagine staying anywhere other than POFQ --- Beachclub, Wilderness lodge, Animal Kingdom lodge have me interested, but they are so much more money - Maybe someday??
