86'd From the Poly? No worries-bring us Margarita's & Wiener Salad! A TFW Meet Aug 08

So has anyone got revised itinerarys yet????

But I'm still tweakin' the plan. I've got until the 22nd to get the "general" idea down yet.

I've changed the location for my pool days - does that count?!

Maddie's adorable! I think Buzz is going to lose another today, but his are the bottom ones. He had to have one of the top ones pulled at age 4 - that hasn't come back in yet - so he'll be in a bad way.

I really need to figure something out and book it! I'm itching to plan!

Thanks, CE. I'm having fun making her say words like "rules" and "busy".

Get that trip booked, woman!

Book it! Book it!

Or you could always do it backwards and plan first and THEN book, that way you know you have to book in order to complete the plan How's that for Fuzzy Logic?

Then when you do book it and realize all your plans don't work because of availability, you get the joy of writing a new plan to match the actual booking.

Yep!but like I said earlier not much has changed. More will change if they don't add LOEMH, but I think they will so it won't be an issue.

Not that we are enablers or anything

Sooooo.... has anyone besides Tracy booked their airfare yet??? (BTW - Maddie looks adorable with no teeth! )

I'm looking at $88 each way with AirTran or I can book only our flight down with Southwest for the same price...



I'm thinking this is as good as it's gonna get this year... but it's more than I'm used to spending... (I'm SO spoiled - we've gotten $120 or less R/T fares for the past 4 years)

What do you think?! Should I just do it and forget about it?!?

CE - BOOK YOUR TRIP! You're falling behind!

I am waiting one more week to book mine. I found $138 rt with Airtran I am going to wait and see if it goes down a little more and then book. Also next weekend is a holiday weekend which is when I got $117 rt last year. I am thinking if I can keep it around $150 I am in good shape. It would be that much and more for us to drive with the way gas prices are

Thanks Janet. I needed that voice of reason... I don't know why I'm getting nervous about booking the airfare... I'll wait to see what happens, too. I really hope I can find great airfare again. (my fingers are crossed!) We've got three sets of plane tix to buy this year. I'm a bit overwhelmed.

 

[jcc0621]

I have a question Jo. What time on Saturday are you going to be able to make ADR's? What is our count to date Iincluding CE, becasue I know she will make it work ) Want to make sure I am up and logged on for when you are done. Also, what is our tally (don't feel like going back to read) Kids and adults.

 

[cmp1111]

No, no one's an enabler...

I am thinking I should book my "ideal" and if things need to be subtracted, work from there.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Book it! Book it!

Ooooh!!! What a fabulous idea! I'm going with this one for me.

Airfare right now is ridiculous everywhere , I'm with Janet on waiting 'til after the holiday, but as soon as you see something pretty cheap go for it 'cause chances are it won't get any cheaper.

I would book but over here the prices only go up!!!!

I'm phoning exactly at 12pm my time which is 7am Disney time I then have to go take Jess straight to a golf thing so won't be on here till about 1pm (8am)

I am thinking I should book my "ideal" and if things need to be subtracted, work from there.

April through June P & P dates have been released
April 1, 4, 6, 11, 16, 23
May 2, 9, 16, 21, 26, 31
June 4

I am guessing this means they won't announce August until at least May

Well in that case I am going with the 2 plan approach and have 2 sets of ADRS

Hmmmm.... I'm thinking we'll be getting P&PP toward the end of August after all. Especially if they're stopping them the first of June, then no dates in July and early August, KWIM? Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Well in that case I am going with the 2 plan approach and have 2 sets of ADRS

I have to be honest, I completely scrapped PLAN A. So now I need a new PLAN A and a new PLAN B. The only thing staying the same is the 21st (AK), TL and Wienerfest. Everything else is in complete limbo! The 22nd is approaching quickly!!

 

[PrincessV]

While the guesswork surrounding P&PP dates won't affect my planning, the switch back to SSR, coupled with EMHs as they currently stand does...

Wanting to make the most of the Water Park Annual Passes I got last year, I was trying to find a way to go twice during this trip. With no EMHs to contend with, and a late opening on 8/24 (10am!), I think I found my solution!

I also don't want to go galavanting all over the place for food, so I'm opting for locations close to wherever we'll be.

Based on all that, here's the latest Plan:

8/21 drive to WDW - check in SSR
lunch @ Artists Pallette
pool time, followed by dinner at Turf Club

8/22 TL or BB - picnic lunch
dinner at Olivias

8/23 ~pack up & check out?~
MK morning, lunch somewhere
~check in new resort?~
afternoon pool, followed by Biergarten Fockerfest

8/24 check out - BB or TL, or pool, or MK
lunch somewhere, drive home


All I've got left is to make ADRs later this month and look for a better rate for 8/23. However will I occupy my ever-growing need to plan for WDW???

 

[sorul82?]

However will I occupy my ever-growing need to plan for WDW???

You could plan a day trip for say sometime the week before Memorial Day? Then I could treat you to that meal I owe you!!

 

[jcc0621]

8/22 TL or BB - picnic lunch
dinner at Olivias

DId we get a final vote on wither TL or BB? I'm flexible, so I don't care.

However will I occupy my ever-growing need to plan for WDW??? [/COLOR]

Don't you have a December trip to plan for

 

[DisneyJo]

I thought we went with TL much to my girls disgust
