Thanks for the link! Bookmarked this sight for when we are there. It's starting to feel like we all graduated from "Disney Planning 101" and we are now entering the realm of "Disney Planning AP"

It's like the last leg before graduation!

Yes but I'm a terrible test-taker. I hope when the time comes for the "final exam" I can remember all of the material we covered this semester.

It's like an open book test where you need to be able to find the answer in a snap! well written notes are highly recommended

Dd16 took her PSAT/NMSQT today and feels really good about it! She said she got done with the calculator portion early enough to double- and triple-check most of her answers. Now we wait and see.

If anyone was as nerdy as me trying to update touring plans and couldn't add the new meet and greets for Cinderella/Elena and Rapunzel/Tiana, I emailed touring plans to ask about this. I got a response this morning that they had them ready to go but were still running wait time projections. This was their response:

"We have both of the new meets loaded and ready, but we are still running our wait time projections for them. Once that's done they will show up in the list--and that will happen sometime today.

Thank you,

THANK YOU! I was wondering when they were going to update this!

I'm insane. I must be. Now I'm trying to talk the family into staying up all night after our arrival so we can hit EMM on 11/27. We don't have to leave home until about 3:30 pm on Saturday, so we could sleep in Saturday morning before we go. We get in at 11 at MCO so I figure it'll be 12:30 at the earliest when we arrive at Pop. If we slept we'd have to be getting up by 5:30 or so to be out the door by 6:30 for EMM. For some of us, it'd be easier just to not bother sleeping. Yeah, I'm going crazy now.

If you're insane..I'm insane with ya! And I think the only cure or prevention ( for me at least) is a little dose of RoL

Everyone is different. I have stayed up over 24 hours and toured around Europe. My concern if it were me is that my schedule would be completely screwed up. When I've done it going to Europe the purpose has been to adjust to the time difference. If you stay up - then go to EMM are you going to go back to room and nap? If so it may be easy to sleep too long and really mess up your schedule.

Someone mentioned on the restaurants thread that after Nov 5, there r no hours for flame tree BBQ. Theory is it's because of ROL...

That is a great thought! Let's hope so

Totally agree with this. I normally do this when I go to Asia- stay up until after dinner time just to adjust quicker. But in this case, I think the risk is not only the schedule but if it's not enjoyed due to being tired and having to shell out extra money for it, I would say it's a hefty gamble.

Yikes!!! I would sleep and Uber to CR at 7 am.... That would give you a good 5 hours of sleep.

I would be and all day with no sleep.

No hours as in closed after Nov 5th? That would be a bummer I was really looking forward to eating there. I didn't look for an ADR that night so we could eat there.

I don't think it's closed... I think the hours are just unavailable. But don't quote me on that, I haven't had a chance to check yet.

 

[rasadkowski]

I dont think I'd do this with my kids being so young. I know yours are older. And I know you really would like to do EMM. If I were in this position and everyone in my family really wanted to have this experience, I would just make sure everything was packed for the night and next day right on top in our luggage, where we can just get it right out. Just be ready to hit the hay ASAP upon arrival and get 5 hrs of sleep.
After EMM I'd probably prefer to go back and swim as a " rest" day, but if I were planning to tour I'd probably just do some low key things like shows, an ADR , fp, no wait rides. Id stay away from rides that would be long waits, etc. I'd have a very early dinner (4) and call it a night. I think I'd be ok and rested for the next day....

And exactly like @jillyh said everyone is different..and can function ( for some time) on different amounts of sleep

 

[Iowamomof4]

Yep, I think we'd just have to get some sleep. A taxi or Uber is probably the way to go, even though we have 6 of us. I guess UberXL is supposed to have room for 6? Something to check into if we do this.
