That is exactly it but one post at a time here i go heheDenaRox -- It took me quite a while to get my post count up to the point where I could PM and have a ticker; like you i was so busy reading posts I forgot to respond, or I was too in awe of all the knowledge you find on these boards!
There is a fb page called Walt disney world photopass share in which you can find people with similar dates to yours to share the photopass.however, photopass plus works a little bit different since the plus card has a different system to be able to share, you can read about it in that page
Suziewan said:I'm hoping for the obscure characters during our week(s). We cross over two weeks, so I'm hoping to see two different bits of magic . My guess is that there will not be 52 different types of magic, that they'll repeat some of them in each season and I'm sure they'll all be pretty cool.

That is an interesting take, if the repeat the magic throughout the year. Here's hoping an character week happens in January.
Hi All!
I am brand new to this although I have been lurking on these boards here and there for a few years. I just booked a trip to WDW using the Stay, Play, and Dine offer for Jan. 5 - Jan. 10. We are staying at PO - Riverside. It will just be myself and my DS (age 5) - I have NO idea how that is going to go, LOL!! But I am absolutely excited. I have made one reservation for a Character Breakfast at Chef Mickey's for Jan. 6, but that is IT so far -- any recommendations of other places to eat with a 5 year old? Sorry I am brand new to this and feel like I have no idea what I am doing
I've never been but have been doing lots of reading in preperation for my trip. Do you want to do many character meals? What kind of food does your son like?
Ohana's is supposed to be good and has lilo and stitch breakfast.
Hollywood and vine in HS has a lunch play and dine with singing, dancing and playing with Jake the neverland pirate, June from little einsteins, handy manny and special agent oso xx
Ok, I've never posted anything before, but I've been reading them since before our first trip last Feb!
Monday, Jan. 21 - MM Fantasmic package - late lunch; Sci-Fi - dinner
Tuesday, Jan. 22 - Chef Mickey's - late breakfast; O'Hana - dinner
We are really excited about our trip! I planned everything what feels like last minute, though. I'm already thinking about my next trip and hoping I can have a longer stay and longer to plan...planning and looking forward to the trip is so much of the fun for me! My husband thinks I'm crazy, too, but after reading many of the posts, I guess I'm not alone!!
Thanks!
Just got back from our first trip to DL yesterday! It was a great time, but I've got to say DW wins!
I'm excited to go back to DW in 3 short months!!!

Just booked a trip last thursday for the beginning of january
I have been to disney in may, july, and for nye so am used to crazy crowd levels. I have heard that January is "slower" but was wondering what we should expect?
About how long are wait times for e-tickets?
I have heard that fp is sometimes not used during slower times? is this true for january?

We will be there from 1/19-1/26!!! It is a surprise so don't tell DS 12 & DD 10! We haven't been since 2008 and we are staying at CBR for the first time. I am hoping the park will not be too crowded, it would be great to have lots of room to move around in the parks.

Booked my Play, Stay, and Dine at AKL. Alas, no free dining pin but still saved about $700 with an 8 day park hopper. I hope the next 78 days fly by!! -Amanda
Thanks Kay! I made the Hollywood & Vine reservation - my little guy LOVES Playhouse Disney so that is absolutely perfect. I also ended up making an ADR at Yak & Yeti -- not so sure that's GREAT for a 5 year old, but I wanted to choose something for me too
Boocake -- I went on my first trip to WDW with just myself and my DS who was 5 at the time and we had a blast. The only thing I regretted was that there was no other adult to turn to with a smile when he did or said the sweetest or funniest things, or to share in his reactions. I made sure to keep a journal while we were there so that I would have that to remind me and to help me remember stories I wanted to tell others when we came home. We are trying TRex this time (Downtown Disney) and also Teppan Edo (Epcot WS), which is Teppanyaki style and LOTS of fun for kids -- we went to a similar type of restaurant at home and this is the one DS has chosen for his 8th birthday dinner when we are there in January. He also loved breakfast with Stitch at 'Ohana and dinner at Chef Mickey's.
Thanks!
And we told the in-laws and my mom that we're planning this trip and now they all want to go, too. I think we're going to book 2 suites at AoA (we currently are booked in a LM room there), which I don't think will be a problem.
But any idea how in the world I go about making dining reservations? I already have mine for my family of 4. I was thinking I could try and get them reservations around the same time rather than try and change ours from 4 to 9 people! They've asked me to handle it and gave me credit card info, so I guess I just need to call and see what I can do, huh?
Anyway, it's been fun reading all the posts today
I just returned from my conference in San Diego during which I took a two day excursion to DLR on the 16th and 17th! I have a trip report going here. We're also heading back to WDW in 3 months. Now that I've got DLR behind me, I can focus on some more planning for WDW!!
