anyone else planning trip for aug 2009

[lady_hlh]

Thanks lady_hlh!

How were the wait times at the parks. I imagine DH could handle some waits for food, but not to ride. We went last year first week of January and wait times were 2+hours for some rides (ouch!)

The only ride that had a 2 hour wait while we were there was the new Toy Story ride at Hollywood Studios so we only got to go on it one once during evening EMHs when the wait was 30 minutes. Most of the time the waits were non-existent or less than 30 minutes. If something had more than a 30 minute wait we would get a fast pass or try it some other time of day.

I would recommend Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club. It has really good fish and clams/mussels and also good non-fish. Even my fussy vegetarian DD liked it.

I will make sure I mention this place to the rest of the crew.
thank you,
michelle

DD(4) first trip to Disney Aug 18th to 26th 2009. Can't wait to get back down there. Me and my wife spent 10 days at AKL in April for our 3 year anniversary. Booked at CSR this time around, but we are hoping to upgrade to CR if we get some sorta deal or happen to save a few extra bucks.

Well we are working on where we are going to eat. Only a few months and then we can make our ressies.

We are looking at taking my boyfriend's nephew sometime toward the end of August or beginning of September. Right now we are looking at Aug. 21st or 22nd through the 26th...not a long trip,,,but it will be his nephew's first! Alot depends on when his school starts (we're from Wisconsin and usually they start after labor day,,but it isn't til Sept. 7th next year). i can't wait! Wishing for codes!

Is anybody already buying odds and ends for their trip??? I am counting down the days until I can make our ADR's.

I am constantly buying for our annual WDW vacations. I have a box of Disney World stuff that gets added to quite often. I love shopping off season so I already have most of my clothes for next year's trip. www.disneyoutlet.com had some really cute shirts for just $5.00 so I stocked up. I pick up glow sticks, mesh laundry bags, etc. all the time. I know that I spend just as much money by buying all year long but, since it's spread out, it doesn't seem that way.

I already did a preliminary itinerary with all the ADRS planned out. I told my DH that I will be making ADRs after X-Mas time and he just gave me the evil eye.

 

[mickeyfan1226]

I would like to do an itineray for our trip but not all of the group lives here close. My friend that is going with us has never been so she just says "i am along for the ride." I told my sister that they needed to decide if they were going to do meals with us or on their own since we can make our ADR's the first of Feb. I know that is a few months away but like me my sister is a procrastinator. For our first trip there was no planning and only 1 ADR and that was for thanksgiving dinner. My father paid for the trip so none of the rest of us and there was a total of 13 of us had any say. I am making planns this time so we can enjoy disney and what it has to offer instead of just running from one ride to another. I want to go watch the shows that are offered, the parades and the night shows. I want to find hidden mickeys. Has anyone done the mickeys backyard bbq and felt it was worth 2 meal credits?? My sister is taking her daughter for lunch on her birthday to the castle but I don't want to spend 2 meal creadit on that since we did do that last time. Any suggestions on great places to eat? I am just rambling now so I guess I will go for now.

Hi all. We are scheduled August 30 - September 6 bounceback free dining 2009!!! Our original resort was BC but I have switched us to a 1 BR at SSR. I am a fanatic about planning and my DH and the DS's (13 & &) won't talk to me about it. I'm so glad to find a group of people who are as obsessed with planning a trip that is 10 months away as I am. I have my 180 day mark on the calendar and I'm thinking about where we will eat already so that I can call the morning of and book our ressies.

 

[ROEDISNEY]

Hey Denise, I think we cruised together on the Magic in August of 2004! We can't vacation that late in August anymore because both of my girls have band camp .... enjoy your free dining deal!!

We are planning on going Aug 16th for 8 or 9 nights; I'm not sure yet. We are using our DVC points for a 2BR at (hopefully) the new AKV in Kidani village but I'm thinking about 5 nights there and 3 or 4 nights concierge at WL or BC. We haven't been able to all get together to go since June of 05 so I am so excited about this trip! I have one daughter out of college and two boys in college so it's a bit harder to pick a time when everyone can go. Either way we are going to Disney!!

 

[Trep72]

Woo hoo!!! Just booked a trip to POP for Aug 6-11, 2009!!!

I'm excited and overwhelmed all at the same time. LOL

Bump. Looking for POP-goers between Aug 6-11, 2009 =)
