Could you add our trip to the front page please?

We'll be going 9/13 - 9/20. Staying at AoA and POR, with a MNSSHP in there!

Thanks, and happy planning everyone

 

[BrownMomma7]

Add us in CBR 9/19-9/25 & AKL 9/25-9/27 woo Hoo!!!

 

[mmbl]

We'll be at Beach Club for 5 nights after our 14n Disney Wonder PC cruise, which follows 3 nights in Disneyland! September will a Disney month! Just got back last Sunday after 8 days at Ft. Wilderness for our family reunion and already looking forward to going back!

Hi eveyone! We are booked and have plane tickets now for 9/19-9/29. We're staying at the All Star Movies, I think my 2yr old DD will really like it! We plan on doing a MNSSHP and are pretty excited for our first F&W! Didn't have much luck with the ADRs, hopefully a few things open up soon!

Oh my! What did you try to book? The window only recently opened and already all your choices were gone? That's insane! Hope things open up for you, although when you're at EPCOT for F&W you won't want any formal dining reservations except for the festival specialties! So many excellent kiosks!

Sorry for the delay in updating the list, all! I think I've gotten everyone in there. In my defense, DBF proposed during our Feb WDW trip so I've been up to my Mickey Ears in wedding planning. Also, in light of recent events, we're not actually going in September anymore. Go figure. Even so, I'd be more than happy to maintain the list as best as I can over the next several months! I apologize in advance if there are a couple of weeks in between updates but please be patient with me.

Congrats! Such an exciting time of life!

Is anyone else second-guessing their ADRs? I keep looking at my reservations and thinking, oh I should have made that for earlier/later, or will we really be able to make that res? I just changed our dinner res to 4:30 for our arrival day b/c we've got CRT at 8:05 the next morning so I'll want to have the kids in bed early. I'm also second-guessing doing the Fantasmic package (and the time I booked it for) and want an earlier dinner res for our MNSSHP day. It's so hard to gauge what my now 11-month-old's nap schedule/needs will be on our trip when she'll be 16 months old!

I need my FP+ window to open up so I have something new to obsess over, LOL.

 

[BrownMomma7]

I second guess my ADR's every trip. I usually cancel & schedule & cancel & reschedule too many times to count. DH leaves it all to me and I try to do every detail of our trip in a fun binder having it all planned out. Don't stress. Each year my family loves all if it! Whatever you end up doing will be the best.

Right now I am second guessing the resort, much more than the ADRs.

Right now I am at POFQ but I am seriously considering moving to AKL

 

[disneyshakeygirl]

Sept 13 through 27/2014, here! SO excited.

We have stayed at POR a few times and every time walk to POFQ for dinner, pool and movie son the lawn. We just like exploring. I don't know how long your trip is but what about a split stay? We did POR & BC last year to coincide with FD and will be doing a split stay again this year with CBR & AKL savannah view. Mouse keeping and bell Hop make transferring easy and it was such a delight. We made sure we went rush rush the first half and ten slowed down and really enjoyed the resort the last half.

Thanks I've never had the DDP before so this is my first time planning a TS meal every day. Last trip it was just my older DD, who was 2 at the time, so we only did a couple TS meals and just worked around her nap schedule. This time my little one will be 16 months, and she's not a good "on the go" napper. Although maybe she'll just be so exhausted she'll pass out in the stroller. (We do plan to take a midday break at the hotel most days, and stick to normal bedtime as much as possible. I'd rather do less with happy kids than see everything with cranky overtired kids.)

September 23-October 3!! DBF FIRST VISIT!!! Can't wait! As of right now staying at All Star Movies! Waiting for free dining!

 

[paws93]

Did anyone else hear that a free dining offer for September is coming out next week?!?! It's supposed to be released to Visa card holders on May 1st and the public a few days later. Also heard that it will only be for the month of September, other fall dates may be offered it at a later time.

 

[BarbieGal457]

I'm in for Sept 29-Oct 3! Maybe a bit longer, we haven't decided yet. We'll be at AoA!! It will be my first trip in the fall and I'm super excited for Food & Wine and MNSSHP!

You have a source for this info!? That's be amazing.

 

[BrownMomma7]

Lots of rumors flying around. If you look at historical trends and data then you can see how this year is lining up in comparison to previous year's discounts. It really looks advantageous for us.

That's awesome to hear! I figured with Food and Wine beginning earlier they wouldn't release FD

 

[paws93]

One source I've been following for awhile now hasn't been wrong. Not sure where the info comes from but it's usually correct regarding the release date, and has been pretty accurate on the promo dates too (last year was off by 2 days, lol!)

Many Disney blogs were saying a promo would be coming on the 21st but that didn't happen. I read May 1st a few weeks ago and so far that may be accurate. If I remember correctly, the last few years I've booked free dining it has been on a Thursday, not a Monday, so May 1st sounds good to me! We'll see soon I guess.

Oh boy I'm not gonna have Internet or phone access until may 3. How quickly does free dining "sell out"?
