@whiterose I hope she gets it together before the trip! Or at least "allows" her kids to have fun if they want!

Does anyone know if sundaes can be ordered at B&C?? I know the to go window has a limited menu but would they allow a No Way Jose to be ordered?

I sat out by the pool near the laundry room ( on the BC side) until 2am waiting for laundry and it was fine. A couple was swimming after midnight and a CM came by and said nothing. I'm sure you will be fine as long as you keep it quiet. If it were me I'd would go ahead and swim!! Always easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Lol!!



Meet and greets are as fun as you make them. Usually the characters will greet you and start chatting away about their live in the movie or will point out something about your child that is similar to them. However, the best interactions come with guests who quote phrases from the movie and can carry on with the character about the plot, a prince,another character. It can be very entertaining watching the person portray the character. Most of them do a superb job!! I would say the more outgoing you are the more fun the experience can be. For example, Baloo is one if my all time favorites and so is the film, the Jungle Book. We planned on meeting King Louie and Baloo in Animal Kingdom to goof off with them. As we approached King Louie we started jumping through our arms like jump ropes and he joined in the best he could. Then we started singing "Bear Necessities" and using some poles in the pavilion as back scratch posts and Baloo came on over and joined me!!! It was a hilarious moment!!

Thanks not sure if my daughter would be interested, I guess we will ask her!

Yes, my DH got the No Way Jose sundae at the take out window last summer

Wow - It seems that person had found ways for themselves to be entertained, and that is fine...and from the sound of it, they did not try to impede anyone else's trip, that is totally understandable! I wish this was the case in my trip. We are not forcing her to do anything, and told her it is up to her what she wants to do. We have reservations and things booked, but she is under no obligation to do anything.

I really had no idea this person had anxiety issues before our trip...I have to say that until I found that out, though, I was kind of upset because we had been planning this trip for over 1-1/2 years, and that many of the expenses were being paid by us (if was a big family trip). I guess we never really know what kinds of things people are dealing with unless they share.

Here's hoping you SIL can find a way to cope if she's having personal issues, and can join in when she's comfortable. Who knows, maybe you can CONVERT her to being a Disney NUT!!

I think we are going the same time -- I stayed up last night and did the FP+ at 12:01 this morning. I'm not kidding, even with the slow week, A&E were booked Sun-Wed of that week. My goal was Friday which I got, but after I got the rest of the FP+ I went back to fine-tune times and there were no other A&E times available. I am so glad I got one -- DD 8 and DS 3 definitely have A&E on their "must-do" list (although "what about Olaf" keeps being asked, lol). but, PHEW, glad that's checked off the list.

I'm so very glad you scored the A & E FP!!!!!!!! My heart sank at the thought of all the moms today trying to get one for their kids....and none to be found.

How long does it take to dine at Beaches and Cream? I have it on our arrival night but I want to make sure we have time to go to Epcot.

Saying she dislikes Disney is a huge understatement. She dislikes.. HATES whimsy and adults acting like children, so she hates 'friends of characters' because they are adults acting silly. She does not like rides, she does not want her children to like rides or Disney. I think she was born fully formed as an adult. She does not like lines. She does not like spending money frivolously. She thinks my husband and I are a bad influence because we are without children, in our 40s, who are responsible with careers, financially secure, who like Disney. We go to animated movies. We know the frozen song. (I know I should just let it go, but I can't lol) Something must be wrong with us. LOL! Apparently adults should not have room in their heads/hearts for such things.

If we could go without her, we would, my dad suggested it and she became offended. I think she wants to be there to make sure no one has fun.

OMG! I know what she is!!!! She is a Disney Villain!!! And yes she will play the martyr. Since we have a tour guide, my plan is if she starts acting out tell the tour guide to ignore my sister in law. She is already telling the kids that the rides will make them sick and is putting very negative messages in their heads about the trip. Of course they know how their mom is, and are ignoring it! Rofl! I am really hoping she just goes off on her own. We are not making her stay with us.

My husband and I are very good travelers. We are good planners. We've had various relatives travel with us and marvel at what we can accomplish and the awesome things we do. We find good deals, we plan ahead of time, and we pace ourselves to have relaxation, fun and a chance to let off steam. I am hoping that by staying at the beach club, a place right in the middle of it all, with awesome pools and a walking entrance to alcohol and 'grown up' things in Epcot, she will go and find something 'appropriately enjoyable' for her. I'm not going to force her to do anything.

(oh. this is totally weird...my SIL asked to schedule an appointment for BBB for the 9 year old. She wants to peel off from the tour with her and get dolled up. OMG.. who is she and what has she done with my SIL...and can she stay...)

Maybe she's getting sucked in despite herself.

Did you get A&E? How tough was getting the rest of them? I am making my FP+ next Monday at midnight and I am starting to get nervous.

So we are staying sat-sat and I was planning to go to MK on Sunday and Friday. There is a website (dibb, a British site) that forecasts what fast passes are available limited or unavailable and yesterday I knew that our week through Tuesday was already out of A&E. At 12:01 I went right to the last MK day of our trip and got it, 1:30 which is really a good time for our schedule. After I did all my other days (they recommend working backwards because the last day of your trip will have the most options available) I went back to refine the time and there weren't any other choices available. I'm guessing a lot of people arrive on Saturday. But my week in sept is supposed to be a quiet week. So in summary lol I think you should be fine but make haste! Do not stop go! Log on at 12:01 and get that A&E FP+!!!! Good luck! It will be wonderful

Ok after re-reading I realized I didn't answer your question lol! No trouble with any other fast pass choices. I thin on that website I mentioned the only other ones that usually book up are the paraded at MK which I wasn't going for.

Here is my advice, I will note that once I hit my 30s assertiveness skills have never been something people can say I lack lol, so you might want to phrase it nicer. If/when she gets on your last nerve, pull her aside and say, "SIL you are ruining this trip for me. I am sick of your (fill in the blank) and I am not putting up with it anymore. Either knock it off, go be miserable on your own or go back to the room, but whatever your choice is, know that you chose to come on this trip when you could have stayed home and you do not have the right to wreck it for the rest of us." I can almost guarantee she'll quit it after that. If she does continue or if you don't want to tell her off, you could always sing at her whever she gets bad. I mean really SING. Aversion therapy.

To tell the truth I would rather have mouse keeping spend more time cleaning instead of using their allotted time making towel animals

I would bet that some people complained about not getting them and they went the way if finding the paint brush at Tom Sawyers Island, the candy lady in Japan at EPCOT, etc

Teena- 37 days till we come bearing tasty cakes!

My boys (ages 19 and 23) were so disappointed when they read the paint brushes were discontinued before our May trip. They really enjoyed searching Tom Sawyer Island when they were younger!

 

[Beth06015]

This is good to hear. I am trying next monday to get A&E for the Friday of our trip as well. Can I ask what time of day you got?

Sure! They gave me choices when I picked and I took the 1:30 slot. We have a 12:30 be our guest lunch so it will be perfect! Good luck!

We have lunch at noon at CRT, so a 1:30 A&E would be perfect. Thank you so much for sharing! You have given me hope that this might work out despite how fast the FPs are going!

She is unconvertable...lol She sees Disney as wasteful. She has no anxiety issues, I've known her for 26 years. She has always hated Disney and it has only gotten worse since she had kids. I wonder now if she has control issues and we are not letting her have any control over the trip. We tried that and she just wanted to cancel it or make it painful. (My dad wants to stay on property and she tried to talk him out of it...it's his trip...let HIM have what he wants! Then she tried to get him to book a trip to Italy...or California...let the birthday man have his wish!) she does no research. If you knew her you would understand...just 5 minutes around her would tell you all you need to know! Lol! She is very set in her ways and opinionated. I am ignoring her till after we come home. LOL!

We are just trying to be my dad's advocate for the trip, and make it what he wants. The kids are thrilled. My 15 year old niece paid us the biggest compliment. She said she always wanted to go to Disney with us, because she knows she would have a good time. She is a "whateva" kinda teen girl who rolls her eyes at any authority figure and for her to say that..woot!..I am the cool aunt!

When we stayed at the GF last year )non CL) the lobby concierge was able to do this for us. I would think it would be the same at all resorts

HTH

No problem!! You will be fine--they gave me four choices to pick from for times for the 3 attractions....I would pick the one with the A&E time you like because the others can likely be modified after one at a time. And at 12:01 go right after the MK day! Good luck!
