[serene56]

I dont see me standing in line so she can give the BEast a Flower-- heck I dont want to sit all the way at the bottom of the theater either.

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

We weren't waiting too long. When you enter the theater you can pretty much sit wherever you want.

I am working on my Tuesday- September 21 which is our MNSSHP day.

We have a 10:30AM reservation to dine at OHana with Lilo and Stitch.
We were not going to a park this day but found out it costs only $3.00 to add the extra day-- so we did.

The reason we added the extra day- I want us to get up and at the bus by 8:30. Heading to MAgic Kingdom. We will enter the park and stay on Main Street to visit the characters while our FPV will run and get us FP for Space mountain. When he comes back we will head over to Polynisian so we can have our breakfast reservation.

After breakfast out FPV will go back to Mk to get FP for Buzz lightyear while the rest of us head back to the hotel to take naps- (I for one will be worn down)

Hoping to be back at the bus by 4:00 to arrive for MNSSHP.
Jada is dressing as Cruella and we are dressing as her dalmations.
Rob & steph are going as the MadHatter and the Queen of hearts)

We will tour tomorrowland when we arrive--riding with our FPs Space Mountain and BUzzlighyear. Also seeing Monsters, LaughClub and Carousel of Progress.
(do you think the WedWay is a not to be missed ride?)

we will have our dinner at Cosmic Rays after finishing up our touring of Tomorrowland.

this is as far as I got-- and I need fillers.

We want to skip the first parade-- but watch Hallowishes, see the second parade then head to the Villians show. (in that order)

We were not going to a park this day but found out it costs only $3.00 to add the extra day-- so we did.

We are going to be there ealry on our arrival day (saturday) and leaving late on our departure day (Also a saturday). I originally thought I would get a 6 day park hopper, then changed my mind and decided on a 7 day park hopper, and then changed it again and settled on teh 8 day park hopper. Essentially, this gives me the ability to go to a park all 8 days, and I can split a day in half to go down to Downtown Disney, or hang out at the resort for a while. It doesn't cost that much more, so I figured why not, I can get two extra days in a Park for only $24 per person, no brainer really.

So you got hoppers too?
I got the hoppers so I can avoid the parks with the EMH and fantasmic--and spectro--etc.
but will go to say Disney Studios on Monday and hop over to magic kingdom when Spectro is playing.

All is said and done and looks awesome on paper-- i really wonder if it will work out that well.

I got the hoppers just so we have the option of going to a second park. The first day of our trip will be at HS, then AKL the second day. I am planning on going to AKL the next morning, but finishing up HS the 3rd day as well if needed. After that we move to the Poly, so the rest of our time will be Epcot and MK. My days won't be as planned out as yours. Last time we went, once we got to MK, we didn't go to any other parks. These trips are mostly for the kids, and I will fit in what I want to see when I can.
You definitely need to be flexible, and go with the flow. Having a plan is great, but don't kill yourself trying to see everything.

I'm thinking of cancelling the ADR's I made for the 3rd day since I don't really know where I will be throughout the day.

 

[fairytalesfireflies]

I'm in!

We arrive at Pop on the 19th and will be in MK that day also. Monday we'll both be at DHS and have reservations at 1:30 at Sci-Fi! Great minds think alike!

That is soo kewl- so I must be doing something right eh?

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I just found your PTR. I'm in! This looks like fun!

Jada is adorable.

Our trips cross. We will be there 9/10 - 9/21.

Can't wait to read more of your plans.

 

[serene56]

Once in a while Jada will get Disney mail.
The first disney mail she received was when we were trying to use the potty without accidents- she got a Mickey mail telling her that he cant wait to see her-- but she needs to learn how to use the potty as the rides she is big enough for will not accomadate accidents. Never had another accident.

Another Disney mail was from the Beast who told her she needed to pay better attention in school so she can learn to read and write--because who will read him stories if she cant. She pays better attention now.

This last mail is from Tigger who is inviting her to lunch at Crystal Palace when she comes for a visit.

This is why I am planning this trip-- the excitment alone is sooo well worth is

[serene56]

Did you see that Free Dining has been offered until right before Christmas?

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

Did you see that Free Dining has been offered until right before Christmas?

That's gotten some people excited over on the December Disney thread. I am saving more money with the 40% off code though. Too bad I can't have both.

Loved the youtube video.

 

[serene56]

I got all my itinerary done and on paper- Gave it to a few people to look over and to add or subtract "stuff"

Majority of the people feel that Jada will be able to hang early in the week compared to later in the week-
starting Wednesday thru the rest of the week--the day ends early, meaning bed early.

But the way it is looking it will be 4 late nights.
let me explain:

We are arriving after midnight on Saturday night. Getting to Pop and checking in-getting our stuff out of bell services (i got in on a fridge swap, I ordered a stroller, and a grocery order) By the time we get to the room and settle in it will be after 1am.

Sleeping in (with an excited 4 year old--is this possible??) then heading to Magic kingdom. Sending a FP runner to Splash mountain. and he will meet up with us at the Castle.

we tour Adventureland/frontierland until our reservations for Crystal Palace at 2:15 (our FP runner will get another FP for Big thunder railroad before)

After lunch with Winnie the Pooh--ride our FP rides (i wonder if that will be possible?) then head outta the park back to Pop.
The time should be about 4pm. naps= people want to head to studios for Fantasmic. (bus by 6:30 to stand in line)

Fantasmic is starting at 8pm this night--- 25 minute show and back at pop by 10---(since we gotta wait on the bus)

Next morning its an early morning--RD at Disney Studios. Lunch ADR at 1:30 - PArade then head back to Pop for a nap. (time estimated about 4pm) nap and head to Magic Kingdom for Spectro/wishes) bed again about 10:00pm)

Next day--again early morning to get to Magic Kingdom to get FP for Space Mountain-- breakfast at Ohana with Lilo and Stitch for 10:15) FP Runner will go back to the park to get FP for Buzz light year.
We then head back to Pop for swimming and nap before we head to the MNSSHP - arriving anytime between 4-5pm depending on the nap.
When we arrive we tour tomorrowland and use our FP see the rest of the stuff there- MNSSHP is until midnight.

next day==sleep in and do Epcot world showcase.


so you see- 4 late nights with early morning until Wednesday-

doable?

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

You have naps scheduled, so I think it is doable. Not sure how much energy Jada has, but Ally was 4 when we went in 2007, and even without naps during the day she was so excited to be there it cancelled out any tiredness. Of course she would crash on the bus ride back to the resort, but overall did very well.

I am hoping for much of the same this trip now that I will be going with a 4 and 8 year old. Haven't decided if I want to rent Disney's Strollers yet. I was amazed last time at how many people just walk in front of the stroller. I think this time some people are going to have sore ankles, cause I ain't gonna be so nice this time.

 

[serene56]

Mike- that is the reason I think that renting a stroller is gonna be the death of me. I rented one for the week fromOrlando stroller for 100. it holds up to 70 pounds. (jada is now 53) I am thinking of using it for the MNSSHP and for our Epcot days)
I think that with her being excited she will not wanna sit in a stroller- especially the first few days.
--
We spent the day at your moms--and talked Steph and Rob into waiting until Thursday for Fantasmic. We have an Epcot day planned in Future World and can be outta there by 2pm at the latest- Fast Pass is my friend.
So taking a nap and hitting the Studios on Thursday sounds like my better deal.

Where did you stay your last visit- your mom is old and cant remember---LOL

 

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

I thought about renting a stroller from them, but I want to see if we need them first.

If you can, I would try to get the Fantasmic Dining Plan so you are guaranteed a seat in the show. You still have to get to the show early, but you don't have to sit in line for a couple of hours. Of course, you are going at a time that won't be crowded like it is in the summer.

Wish you would have told me you were going out to Mom's, I would have stopped by so we can talk Disney. If you head up again before you trip let me know. Post here or on my facebook page.

We stayed at the All Star Movies the last time. The hotel is kind of far from everything, so that was a bit of a downer. But that is why I am doing the split stay this time. AKL to go to AKV and HS, then the Poly for MK and Epcot.

 

[onescgirl]

Enjoying your PTR. Jada is soooo cute!!! And, I LOVED the video of her getting the 'Mickey Mail'! Seeing childrens excitement is what make WDW so special.

We are heading back on the 1st of August. Jada would love little girls to play with. It was all boys yesterday--- LOL)

The packages were all gone for the dinner for fantasmic-- and that was at 180 days outs. Yep i do check.
Personally feel that this is a missed feature but rob and steph really want her to see it. ( i think with the hassle of standing in line to get in- waiting for the show to get started-- then getting outta there just not worth the 25 minutes.)
You really cant take a stroller because of the chance it will get stollen.
People that rented the disney strollers will come and and find them gone. They dont feel like dealing with tired children getting to the gate to get out-- then standing online to wait for the buses- Yep, my stroller will be taken.

I have seen Fantasmic when it was shown every night and getting outta there was a nightmare-- I can not even imagine what its like now

I cant wait to see her "excitment" with the whole disney experience.

She kinda hurt my heart the other night when she was telling me that TIgger is really a guy in a costume.

No comments- I will let her judge when we get there.
