August 21-27 All Star Movies
free dining - Yeah!!! quick service but that is what I think would be best for my boys
I'm hoping to pay for a couple of chaacter breakfasts

Ok all.. hows this:

Ok I sat.. I have some plans now!!!

Ok here's what i have so far:
8/19 bright and early arrive, wait for my oldest and my mother to get here on Amtrak

8/19 MK Crystal Palace for dinner
8/20 AK
8/21 Epcot
8/22 DHS Sci Fi for Lunch
8/23 Hoop Dee Doo for Noah's birthday
8/24 MK Either GG or at HS
8/25 Epcot Coral Reef
8/26 AK Safari Breakfast at Tusker House
8/27 HS or at MK for GG
8/28 MK My birthday.. probably Chef Mickey's for dinner

I still need one park for the 23rd.. and then 2/3 more TS ADR's!!!

Count us in! We're doing a split at AKL/VWL Aug 6-11!!
By the way, where is everyone finding the dates to make ARDs? It's still 90 days out, right?

The only place I had tried from your list is Chef Mickeys and its ok but nothing special as far as the food goes but I love the character interaction there.

WooHoo We are going August 23 until September 6

This will be our first time in the Beach Club Cant wait. This NYC weather is driving me nuts

And for the above post adrs are now back to 180 days out. Start making your adrs asap

P.S you live in my favorite place

We re-scheduled our vaca to August 28 thru Sept 3rd at POFQ instead. We may still have to cancel and book next year, but I think I am okay with that now since FantasyLand expansion will be opening some things in 2012. March 1st I can book dining so I have lots of time to figure out where we want to eat.

Updated.

Anyone wanna critique my plans?

Aug 14 MK Cape May or Kouzinna (dinner)
Aug 15 MK Ohana (dinner)
Aug 16 AK Tusker House (breakfast)
Aug 17 DHS H&V (brunch, I don't expect good food, going for the kids)
Aug 18 MK Cape May or Kouzinna (whatever we couldn't get on the 14th)
Aug 19 Epcot Teppan Edo (dinner)
Aug 20 hit Epcot one last time before we leave

Travelers include DH and I and sons 3 and 5. The only place we have eaten is Ohana and that was in 2007. I might try for CRT one night for dinner and eliminate Ohana and pay OOP for Tusker House. I think it's the cheapest meal. The boys heard they got swords at CRT and were all over it and it gives me an excuse to eat there, I've always wannted to

I haven't tried any of those restaurants but they are quite popular.

I am actually sitting down and trying to figure out some ADR's.

Chef Mickeys and Kona breakfast are always a must for us. We are travelling with my sister and her family this year so we are taking turns having an adult evening. They will be going to CRT for their anniversary and I think DH will be going to CG for our dinner out.

I'm still waiting on the Sept. park hours

 

[santadog]

We'll be there August 19 through the 29th - staying at Pop Century with free CS dining, but I'll probably make 2 ADRs for character meals and just pay for them out-of-pocket (Still cheaper than upgrading)

 

[4disneygenerations]

Well we're back to POFQ this August, 8/23 to 8/31. We usually go a little later through Labor Day, but ds decided to plan his Wedding that weekend, I'm so happy for them
Happy planning

This may be old news but Southwest Airlines released airfare for all of August finally. I thought it was coming out tomorrow?

 

[justakrazymom]

Ok I have no idea about flying..ut the I wanna get away fare is SOOOO cheap.. is this legit??

 

[hcmommy]

My wanna get away fares are $165 each way, what are yours?

 

[taymacsmom]

We just got $158/person RT on a Southwest "Wanna get away".

 

[justakrazymom]

Yep..so excited.. I got 2 people NON stop RT for $408.. the train woulda cost them $528 RT.. no brainer there!

 

[justakrazymom]

$79 and $104 .. can not beat that for non stop flights.. they are early ( 6:15 and 9:15) but who cares??

 

[hcmommy]

You guys are getting awesome rates!

 

[mcd2745]

I was anxiously awaiting SW releasing fares for late Aug/early Sept but am disappointed to find it's $300 per person round-trip from Long Island.

 

[hcmommy]

I was dissappointed too. $349 per person roundtrip for us!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Pretty disappointed that SW is at $114 each way pp from Pittsburgh. We are used to paying $69-$89 each way. Guess I'll wait it out. . .

THANK YOU!!!! I'm going to go and look over the hours right now!

 

[lizzyb]

Our prices arent very good yet either. almost 1500 for all of us so I am hoping they come down a bit.
