Anyone planning for February 2008?

[jb2mw]

I booked our room last week at the All Stars Movie Resort. I will switch it to the package once the prices come out. We are doing the DDP as well. It will be our kids first time, DS(3 1/2) DD (1). Its also our first time staying on property and doing the DDP.

So the DDP works like you have prepaid for your meals allowment everyday. So when we go to Le Cellier and use our DDP, we won't have to pay anything unless its not part of the app, entree, dessert? Am I right?

I cannot wait til we leave.

You'll get a table service credit, a counter service credit and a snack credit with DDP. Some restaurants like Artist's Point use up two table service credits. You may want to plan on bringing breakfast food if you don't want to pay for anything other than the DDP.

We are going to be at Fort Wilderness Feb.2-9.

I'll be riding in the Bacchus parade this year which turns out is also Superbowl Sunday. Then we're waking up Monday morning and flying out of New Orleans for our Disney Vacation. Like many other of my fellow Louisianians, the Mardi Gras school holidays are perfect for a Disneyworld visit. The weather should be much more tolerable than summer and the crowds should be smaller. My wife booked us a room at the Contemporary Atrium Club Concierge or something like that yesterday from 2/4 - 2/10 and booked a Garden View room for her Mom and Dad to stay in and babysit our 8 year old son and 3 year old Daughter when we need them to. We were there last year for a few days before the Daytona 500 and it was pretty crowded. I'm just wondering what type of Mardi Gras Day observations Disney puts on, if any.

DD5 and I are going Feb 7-10. Anyone interested in signing on for a Magical Fireworks Cruise? (the one with Peter Pan)

What is a magical fireworks cruise? Do you know where I can find a description? My family (DD6, DS5, DS1, DH, me) will be there Feb. 7 - 12.

 

[Pooh Lover]

I called CRO and there is plenty of space on the 8th and 9th. It's munchies with Capn Hook and Mr Smee at the Contemporary, then a cruise with a pirate captain to see the Electrical Water Pageant, then off to the seven seas lagoon for Wishes. On the way back they read from a big book of stories about Peter Pan and Peter is waiting for us on the dock when we get there!

It's $43.99 for 10+ and $24.99 for 3-9.

The 8th starts at 8:45 and the 9th at 5:30. Since my daughter's only 5, I don't know how well she'd hold up on the 8th, so would really rather do the 9th.

As I'm booked through DVC, I have to call them in the morning to get the Grand Gatherings ressie number. Let me know if you want to do this and I can send it to you.

It sounds like a lot of fun, but I think we're going to have to pass. We have dinner plans on the ninth already. The 8:45 cruise would definitely be too late for our crew.

If anything changes, I'll let you know. Maybe we could try to switch our dinner plans.

 

[Pooh Lover]

Well that stinks as we only need 1 more to make our 8! Oh well. Let me know if anything changes!

I'm glad to see there will be so many of us there!!
I dont own any lime green shirts/hats so I will try to stick/hang something noticable from my bookbag that will show "I'm a DISER!!" Also I read that people staying on site put lime green notepads or whatever outside thier room door for passing DISERS to sign , Im thinking (since im stayin offsite) if I am lucky enough to park close to entrance gates of any park (plan on being early almost every day) I will stick something on back car window in hopes you guys see it and sign it!! What do you think?!?! Hope to see some of you there!!

I have booked for Feb 1-6 at All Star Movies. I am DA taking my DN8 . This is only her second time and she is going to be surprised. I haven't told her exactly when we are going. We are from Biloxi, Mississippi and only get 3 days off for Mardi Gras. We also have some other friends from Biloxi headed down to Orlando.

Next step - making dining ressies.
