Super excited! We usually go in October but wanted to rent DVC points this trip and september was cheaper. We're a multiple hotel type of family. Like to experience it all.

Sept 18th thru the 20th we will be at old key west
20th thru the 25th we will be at AKL kidani
25th thru 29th we will be at Riviera

3 new hotels for us, so excited. Not sure yet on how many park days. We have never been in september so I know more rain will be involved but we did go in July last year, so I feel like we can at least handle the HEAT.

We will be going from Sept 28 - Oct 5
Sep 28 - 30 (ASM), Oct 1st - Oct 5th (OKW）

Hello All! I book my first September trip 9/4-9/8 at ASMu. Going solo, as I usually do, and loving the suggestions about when to visit MK and the weather.

We will be at OKW from Sept 29-Oct 5th for our 20th wedding anniversary. I love OKW it’s so quiet and beautiful. However we will be offsite Sept 22-29.

So happy to have you along, thanks for joining in! September will be my first(ish) solo trip, too

We are still arriving on Sept 26 but our flight changed so now we land in Orlando at 10:45 AM instead of 6:50 PM. I basically gained a whole day I know both my kids will want to hit the pool at soon as we arrive, so they can swim all afternoon and then I think we will head to Disney Springs for dinner.

Rumor has it that Disney will drop Halloween party details TODAY!!

I’m ready to get spooky!!

((We are staying at Cabana Bay at Universal in September but planning a day at Disney Springs with MNSSHP that night! Can’t wait!))

Super excited to finally have concrete dates for the Halloween party! We are most likely going to the 9/22 party, it will be a fantastic way to end the land portion of our trip with a bang before getting on the Wish 9/23 for Halloween on the High Seas. And now I can finally plan our park days. Thinking Friday 9/20 we will probably rope drop MK and finish up whatever if anything we missed on arrival night's EEH. Will likely pick up G+ and stack LLs for HS that evening after our midday break. So probably looking at:

Wed 9/18 - arrival, MK EEH
Thurs 9/19 - Epcot
Fri 9/20 - MK/HS
Sat 9/21 - AK
Sun 9/22 - resort day, MNSSHP
Mon 9/23 - 9/27 - cruise
Fri 9/27 - resort day at Poly, maybe go to Epcot for F&W stuff? idk
Saturday - ???, fly home

The only bummer is we won't be able to see HEA from the Poly lounge when we come back after debarkation...we get back on Friday 9/27, which is a party day, and leave on Saturday night. Still debating just watching it from the room during the first part of the trip since we have TPV. Idk if we're doing a dessert party again, I have to discuss it with my partner.

You would be able to watch the Halloween party fireworks from your resort.
I love those fireworks.

I know, and we will probably watch from the lounge, but I much prefer HEA. I am kind of underwhelmed by the current halloween show.

Just read they MAY be shutting down big thunder mountain fir a major overhaul in Sept. Hopefully they push it off till October

 

[LadybugsMum]

I saw that too. My kids are going to be really upset if BTM is closed at the same time as Test Track.

 

[ThreeKMom]

Now that party dates are released I can start to make a plan!

We will be at the BCV from 9/9 - 9/14. This is an adults only trip, celebrating my 60th birthday (a year late - life happens!)
This is what I'm thinking:

9/9 Arrival day - should arrive to the resort around lunchtime (haven't booked flights yet) It should be EEH at Epcot so lunch at the resort, get settled in the room then head to Epcot for dinner and EEH

9/10 this is a party day we are not planning to do the party but I have heard that the park is practically empty early on party days so MK it is in the morning, no set plan for lunch but head back to the resort in the afternoon, dinner possibly at one of the boardwalk restaurants then HS (may buy G+ and stack)

9/11 AK in the morning, back to resort in the afternoon, try for O'hana dinner reservation then MK for EEH

9/12 HS in the morning, back to the resort, Epcot for F&W

9/13 Back to which ever park we feel like we need more time at, back to resort to start packing, probably finish up at Epcot.

9/14 fly home - probably early - when the trip's over DH is done and wants to be home.

What do you think? I'm open to suggestions! I love planning and will probably come up with several versions before ADR day!

Was thinking the same thing

I really have not done a whole lot of extensive planning into which days are going to be which park for the most part, but I'm soooooo thrilled with the dates that were released because I know I definitely want to do the party twice -- I'm thinking I'll keep my ticket package at a 3-Day hopper, head to Disney Springs on my arrival day, and do the Tuesday and Friday parties during my week and leave Mon/Wed/Thur for park hopping!

Sounds like a solid plan

We briefly thought about also doing the party when we get back to property but I really don’t think we’ll be able to handle it after having gotten up so early for debarkation that morning. I want that to be a chill out evening tbh

Partner shocked me with saying she wants to upgrade to an AP though. We were having issues adding days onto her existing ticket since the timeframe wouldn’t cover the 2 days when we get back from the cruise, and instead of paying an exorbitant price for ab additional 2 day ticket, she said she just wants an AP. It will work out better in the long run since we are going back in May and she will need a ticket then anyway. But now this will open up her being able to come with me for my solo weekend trips. She actually said she’d been thinking about it for a long time, and has been a bit wistful about it!
