I love Fuzzy Disney Math too! 
When Julie initially proposed the idea of five days/four nights, it just seemed like too much time to be away - especially for DH! I think Heidi felt the same way, so we just went with four days/three nights.
But once we started talking about the Halloween party and how crowded it would be on Friday night, the idea of going down on Wednesday made so much more sense. The additional night added minimal cost and we were all able to change our flights for almost nothing... Nothing for Julie & $5 each for me & Heidi. The money we'll save on the Thursday night party (eligible for AP/DVC discount, Friday wasn't) will offset some of the cost of the extra night!
Now let's just hope our waitlist comes through!! And if it doesn't, it'll be fun to see a new resort!
Now we need to adjust our tickers.

I love your list of things you want to see and do Amy
I can't wait to try Starring rolls too, it's on our list for a grab and go breakfast (after our TSM dash of course
)
Love the photos of the streetmosphere people you found, where do you see them and what times of day are good to see them?
I can't wait to read about your F&W experience

Love your happy things in MK and MNSSHP stuff.
Getting me excited for my trip, and those pictures of HM at night of MNSSHP are cool but confirm for me that if I can't get my kids on during daylight there is no way they will go on at night with that lady out front.
You girls have a lot of people watching planned, can't wait to hear stories about that when you get home.
Tell me more about the Sorcerer game, I remember reading something, but not really sure what it's all about. Have you all done it before or is this a new thing?

That's a great list, I love that you included the little things like a drink by the pool, and a dole whip break for people watching. It's the little things that I love!

LOL! I'm guessing that if the boys don't want to ride HM during the day, they certainly won't want to ride it during MNSSHP!
I don't know much about the Sorcerer's Game... I'm curious to see what it's all about. I guess Heidi had a chance to play it a little bit in April.
Aww I love all of your cheers to being happy lists!!! There are definitely many many reasons to be happy while at Disney!!
Just being at Disney is the biggest reason of all!
We were trying to consider ALL things, not just listing out our favorite rides. I think we have a good combination of happy things on our lists.
Glad you are back!
I'm glad we could help!
I can't wait for Hallowishes either... even though we went to MNSSHP in 2007, we missed the fireworks with two sleepy little boys.
Glad you joined us!

I'm not going to do a major update but wanted to pop in before we lose everyone again.
Over the past couple weeks we've had some changes that I wanted to share with you. You know that we added an fourth night at the beginning of our trip but what you don't know is that our waitlist came through!! We now have all four nights at BWV! Hopefully we won't have to change rooms but at least we won't have to change resorts!
Second, we've decided to add some time at Animal Kingdom into our itinerary. We had initially planned to skip AK and even drafted an itinerary without it after adding the extra day, but in the end, we realized we had plenty of time to add it in.
Third, Heidi saw some info about some of the Food & Wine special events (click here) and suggested we look into the 3D Disney Dessert Discovery Party! So we did & we are planning to attend on Friday, October 12th! Tickets should be out on August 14th.
Fourth, Heidi read another article (she needs to stop doing that
) on easywdw (click here) and asked us if we would pleeeeeeeeeease consider eating at Flying Fish. We tried to make it fit into our plans but without a perfect spot for it, Julie suggested we stop in for drinks and appetizers or desserts on our "Girls Night Out". So that's our plan. The restaurant looks super cool so I can't wait to check it out!
I think that's it for now! Hopefully we've finalized our itinerary & we can share the final draft very soon.
