Double Digit Dance. 99 days till our first trip to CSR getting pretty excited

We just passed into double digits, too! It seems so far away but I know it will be here before we know it. I'm trying so hard not to just wish the summer away waiting for our trip!

Hope you have a great time!

 

[DoomBuggie]

Only 3 more nights till' we visit CSR for the 1st time!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!
My BF finished his 4th term of Med School today and it's been torture since I finished my 5th term of Vet School a month ago. WDW is just around the corner!

Us Too!!! I am so overly excited. I feel I'm wishing the summer away so it's time to go...but not to fast as then the final payment will be do sooner .

Can't wait for our first stay at CSR. Our dates are 10/1-10/11 what's yours?

 

[CosmicGirl]

Have you all heard that you can now visit WDW in 3D on Google Earth?
It's pretty neat! And it sure helps you give an idea of where you'd your room to be!

I am only a week away, and I am already starting to suffer through "I'm to excited to sleep"!!!!!!! I think it is contiguous because my 8 year is starting to sleep less as well. We have all the major Disney diseases..... Disney-a-holic, Disney apnea, Disney hallucinations, reverse Musophobia (lack of fear of mice), Mickey compulsion, and of course the worse one Mickey Tourette's. I find myself (s)talking and shouting out Mickey's in the middle of any conversation whether it related to Disney or not. I am sure if I went to the doctor they would just tell me the only cure is to visit Disney World more often

Take two Mickey bars and call me in the morning.

Just had to say thanks for all the ongoing photo updates

I was torn about booking CSR for a THIRD time in a row, but seeing the photos again, I know we'll love it!!!

under a week left before we arrive at the CSR for the first time!

Only one thing I think of being a problem with your plan to take only your purse on the plane: what happens if they lose your luggage?? It's happened on Jet Blue too. I always have at least one day's worth of needed supplies with me (underwear, toothbrush, etc.) just in case!

Have a great trip!

That is an excellent point... I hadn't thought of that... I should have, since I've flown countless times and YES my luggage has been lost...

I can probably easily stick an extra pair of underwear, my glasses & deoderant in my purse. If they lose my luggage, guess who gets a new Mickey shirt!!

I know the resorts have an extra toothpaste and toothbrush kit if you stop at the front desk...I forgot mine one year

Yeah we took carry on as well since I heard of the resorts sometimes delivering luggage WAY after the 3 hr limit so I packed our swimsuits, 1 set of clothes, and some snacks to snack on theplane. I "rolled" everything real tiny into our carry on so it didn't take up too much space (it was myself and my 5 mo old's stuff which can be alot, dd had her on carry on).

Ask before you get on ME if he (or she) is going to play the video so they know that you're expecting that!

My current plan is to get to CSR around 10:30 and head immediately to HS. I won't be back until 10pm. (After Epcot closes and we get out of there.) So if the luggage is delayed...no sweat!

I would ask, but with my plan, I wouldn't wait to take the next bus! I wonder if I could download the video to my iTouch, and then just not watch it unless they don't play it!


And I'm dancing along with everyone else! So close!

You can get yourself an AP. Then you're really in trouble Find any excuse to slip in "just a little trip!" I mean, it's only a 20 hour car ride from DE. Totally doable.

Those "first stays" at a new resort are always so exciting. Hope you love it like we do.

Hope you have a great time!

Please, summer just got here...don't push it too fast!

Just dancing right along with you two. I get to make ADRs this Sunday (June 28th)!

Aubriee, where are you making ADR's?

Are you staying for the third time in a row? Or have you booked for the third time in a row and this time kept the ressie?

under a week left before we arrive at the CSR for the first time!

I got my package information in the mail today

On the sea racer voucher it said they're available at CSR. I didn't know that! Anyone recommend doing it here instead of over at the MK resorts? How much do they run?

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've done the searaycers at both. I definitely say go to the MK resorts to do them...there is more places to explore and a lot more space. As much as I LOVE CSR, the lake is not that big and there really isn't a lot of space to go...and you never leave the resort in the searaycer.

Do the sea racers at the MK resorts or the campgrounds. The lake at CSR is not very big - you really just go in circles. the Mk resorts have more water to explore!

Wow! You've picked some really great places! I am so jealous - I'd love to do the deluxe plan one day!

As for Big River Grille, they don't take ADR's through Disney's line. You'll have to call them directly at (407) 560-0253. The first time I called, some girl told me they only take reservations 30-days in advance. A wonderful DIS-er on here suggested I call back, so I did. I got a very nice man named Rich, who not only set up our reservation, also told me that if we mention we're staying on-site, we'd get a 10% discount (for anything extra, we figured -- they do take the dining plan).

Wow--I got full after reading the second day.

You have some good places on there and some we've never tried (dying to try Flying Fish again after many, many years). We loved Yak & Yeti when we were there in September.
