I know this is a Disney group, but is anyone planning to visit Universal as well? Maybe Halloween Horror Nights?

 

[freckles04]

Count us in! We're booked Oct 1 - 8, 2016 at Beach Club.

We are thinking about a day at Universal. Does anyone know if one day (with a park-to-park ticket) is enough to experience Harry Potter? That's all we're interested in. We're mild-moderate HP fans and would really not be interested in the wand stuff. Just want to do the HP rides and walk around, ride the train, etc.

I think a day should be enough for just HP. Try to avoid the weekend days though, they tend to be more crowded You can get more done during the week.

I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and I did exactly this in on a Monday in Sept 2014, and it was plenty of time. I arrived at 9am, and was done with both HP sections by 3pm.

300 more day's yikes!

 

[kiltclan]

I'm excited to say there is a trip in the works for Oct 28-Nov 3rd. We havent booked anything solid yet, but we're hoping a campground at Ft Wilderness opens up before then! We're planning on a big halloween gathering of friends at the World and we've got a few kids who have never gone 'real' camping so we figured that would be the best place for us (and the price!)

 

[Eoywin]

We hit 300 days last weekend Today is 295 days

Must do's

1 - DD's first MNSSHP
2 - DD's first visit to Epcot
3 - MK dessert party

2. Wild Africa Trek (debating the cost of this though, but I reeeeally want to!)

Wild Africa Trek is so worth it! Went on it during this past year's trip!!!!! Just amazing! The most incredible WDW experience I have ever had.

Currently, my bucket list is as follows:
1) Chef's Table at Victoria and Alberts!
2) A day in Diagon Alley
3) A treatment or two at Senses
4) Sleeping in and ordering room service for breakfast (our past trips have been using the commando-style of park touring)
5) Monsieur Paul's
6) Symphony in the Sky (hoping it gets extended!!!!!)
7) Rivers of Light
8) Save room for School Bread
