Good so can I stop hearing about it on the FB page now? LOL

Holy yeah my entire newsfeed is full of it. All my Disney friends, WDW, WDW BLOG, DIS.

I've accepted that it won't be open when we're there! lol

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

We just got back from our first long walk to get ready for Disney. That said I think my 6 year old might need a stroller!

I think it's a great idea to start taking them on long walks now so they'll be prepared in Disney

You'll be surprised. I dumped the stroller when DS was 5 (almost 6) They get so excited they don't realize they are tired, and they get to sit on rides and during meals or snacks. And building them up for it by walking is a great thing. You can always wait and see and then rent one if you need.

heehee I mostly said that because the stroller thing is such a topic on the dis. She won't be in a stroller. I think we're planning to watch the shows and sit for snacks and meals (since we have a good 8.5 days in the parks) that we can be pretty leisurely. I am sure she'll be just fine! If she says she can't walk anymore I'll just tell her to what I always do..."have fun then" and I keep walking. I'm so mean!

Last trip DD whined "I can't walk anymore" and I shot back "Crawl then" and had a cast member applaud

Glad I'm not the only one! My son laid down on a park bench during our walk last night and said "I'm gonna sleep here" I told him to enjoy himself and we all kept walking. lol

I got another one!!!! LOL This one is a beautiful BRAVE inspired dress!

I need to stop now!

Loving ur PTR. I'll be there during the same week and can't wait! Could u pls post a current link for the Oct. park hours. I didn't read thru every single post to see if one is posted on this thread. The one I just found and looked at, didn't seem to have the same EMH that you mentioned earlier on. Trying to get my itinerary finalized. I love your excitement about your trip. It's like a breath of fresh air... I'm excited about mine too...

Sure would appreciate your help. Thanks...

Thanks for the luv I'm sure you can tell I can't wait either!

What it is is that I follow the TA (Travel Agent) calender. It won't be updated completely for October until mid September. The changes that I've noticed are the ones on the actual DISNEY website.

TA CALENDER: http://media.disneywebcontent.com/S.../pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_oct.pdf

DISNEY HOURS: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/

From everything I've read the TA calender (once updated) is always the most accurate.

What makes u think I could tell that u r excited about your trip!!! LOL... I sincerely don't blame u for being soooo excited. I seriously feel the same way. Have only been to disney once and that was in 1981 prior to EP opening... So I can't wait to get on that plane and ck into POP. Thanks so much for the info. I'll ck out those links and continue to ck this thread and others for updates.. WOOHOO!!!

Just a lucky guess.

I think it's more exciting because I get to show my kids DisneyWorld! But also since it's been over 18 years since I've been there myself. First time ever staying on site so that's exciting too!

The only part I'm not looking forward to is the flight. I've been on LOT'S of flights and I hate it every time. At least I'll have the kids to distract me.

For sure check back here because I'll definitely post that stuff in here.

I got my Photopass+ CD (the 400 Professional Disney photos) and voucher. I am keeping it all together for now since it's harder to lose when it's taped to the CD case!

I'm debating getting our MNSSHP tickets now or just waiting until we get there.
