we are going 8/26 - 9/3. we went the same week last year. you can expects crowdes to be prett low. we practically walked on to eveything outside of TSM with no wait more than 10 minues and only utilized a few FPs.

We're going the same time, I'm glad to hear that the crowds are low!
We usually go the week after Thanksgiving and the waits are usually not too bad, but the weather has been very unpredictable the last couple of years. It was cold this past year!

It will be nice to not worry about layering!

Getting ADR's you want seems so much easier now. I think because they went back to the 180 window instead of 90 days. I know in December 2009 I had a horrible time getting anything I wanted and this time I got everything, including adding Le Cellier weeks after my original ADR date.

I agree! I'm so glad they switched it back! I got everything I wanted within a half hour.

I am joining in here. I didn't know that there was a countdown thread or I would have been on here a long time ago
We are going to POP from Aug 27-Sept 6 on Free Dining. We are sure going to miss CSR, where we stayed last summer, but we are trying to work a 2nd vacation into our budget this year, not to Disney though. Somewhere in the Caribbean hopefully.
I made all my ADR's and got everything we wanted. Now that I've planned our ADR's and got all that done, it seems like there is not too mcuh left to do regarding our planning. Maybe I should start planning my kids outfits.

We were lucky enough to get the FD pin so I moved our trip up 1 week! We are going to be there 8/13-8/20 ASSports

WE did this two yrs ago it was great! The Illuminations viewing area is an awesome spot we actually had ash on us from the fireworks! We also did the Safari GG then too that was also great! We're leaving early that morning it's our last day and air is booked or I'd join you it's a great time!!

We are going August 14- 20 and then it's 21-23 at Universal Orlando. We cannot wait, it's been such a long time and our daughters are going to love it this time. Just counting down, our girls don't know we're going yet and they won't know until we arrive, driving down from Jersey. It's a long drive but it will well worth it, I love to drive anyway. Hope there will be other families that will be going during those days.....

 

[THEVACATIONFAMILY]

How did you get the FREE Dining PIN? I have been trying, and I know you probably got the one from last year, where you had to book before December. Wish I had one so we can go all out on this VACATION...
