Beginning to wonder... am I the only one who opens the Disney World App just to bring a smile to my face on a tough day by seeing my BC reservation right there? It works like it's own dose of pixie dust knowing that it's coming up, eventually, even though I've never been!

ETA: proper grammar. Apparently Disney World is 2 words. Disneyland is most definitely one- terribly confusing for us Californians Disney!

Can you use DDP at Hurricane Hannah? And if not, could I get something from the Marketplace and bring it into the SAB area?

Totally know how you feel! Been doing this for the last 9 months!!

Yes you can.

Last few times we were there on Deluxe DDP, 1 Credit got you meal (eg burger and fries), a snack/dessert (eg cake or apple) and a drink (inc the frozen ones).

Yes you can take food into SAB, we took a flatbread and a couple of snacks in too. Very flexible

Nope, you aren't the only one!! Just last night I was gazing at our ME tags that have our names and the words, "Beach Club" underneath !

The MDE app is the bright spot in my work day at the moment too! We've just managed to book the DME transfers so that's organised now. Still need to wait another four months before we can book FP+. In the mean time I keep checking in for things like MNSSHP becoming available. We're hoping to go once this year. It was a toss up between that of a fireworks dessert party at the Plaza Gardens to watch the new Happily Ever After fireworks. I'm hoping the tickets are a reasonable price and not ridiculous. We would prefer an extra 5 hours in a less crowded park to enjoy the rides at night and to see all the characters and the Boo to You parade and the villains. I've a soft spot for the horse they have working as the Headless Horseman's mount. You can see them down at the Tri-Circle D Ranch at Fort Wilderness, working horses are magnificent especially the ones down there. So from time to time I'm gonna be taking a few looks at the app just to remind myself what's left to organise and to get those things done.

fireworks dessert party at the Plaza Gardens to watch the new Happily Ever After fireworks

I've not heard about this, is it bookable or a rumor?

 

[Hopefully]

Very excited this morning. After a few "slow starts" with the web site, I was able to get all my ADR's including Beaches & Cream for our arrival night in October
It's getting closer, but still so far away.

I don't think it's bookable just yet, it begins 12 May 2017 so just keep an eye on it for now I'm sure it will show up on the app soon though . A few news sites for Orlando have mentioned it and it's on Disney's own web pages somewhere ....that's where I first read about it taking over from Wishes which ends 11 May 2017. That show has been going for a while since 2003! Can't believe that previously the fireworks had been the same since about 1976 or something like that.

Don't know what is going on but there are no Yacht and Beach Club rooms available for sale in the UK for August next year!!!!!!!

Wow that's crazy but I am guessing it has sold out on the offer - I'm UK based too. Have you tried calling or going via Virgin Holidays? I checked availability for Sep/Oct when it was released because I like to compare pricing deals (weird I know) and both were available at various dates then. Is it just the Y&BC or is Boardwalk sold out too? If you could get in there you'd at least be close by...although no SAB

am I the only one who opens the Disney World App just to bring a smile to my face on a tough day by seeing my BC reservation right there?

Nope I do this every day too Still ages away from 60 days for FP+ but I like to have a mooch around the website and get butterflies! Got all our ADRs sorted so that was lots of fun. Planning spreadsheet is looking very healthy!

In the mean time I keep checking in for things like MNSSHP becoming available.

I'm waiting for MNSSHP tickets to be released as well - it will be our first party, really excited! We are Disneybounding not full costumes so getting all my outfit together and ordered my custom ears and chatting to my mum about hers too is fun.

I booked a wishes desert party in the garden for our August trip.... you might want to check if that is available. I am assuming that it will just change a name when the Happily Ever After starts

Checked in last night at beach club! Here is the view from room 3527. We arrived just in time for a perfect view of the Star Wars fireworks. The bummer is our room is uncommonly small? There's no couch. No extra bed? Full balcony is nice though!

When I need a pick-me-up at work, I look at Attraction Wait Times, and either congratulate myself for not being there (Spring Break), or weep that I'm not there (RIGHT NOW).

Any tips on passing the time while I do a load of laundry?

I find a stroll around the Boardwalk is truly refreshing. Especially when it involves a stop at Boardwalk Joe's Marvelous Margaritas. Because they are.

We were in room 3507, just down the hall from your room. I noticed that it was a little smaller than some of the garden/woods view rooms we've had. But since there were just two of us it was fine. I loved having the Star Wars fireworks view and the full balcony. We are going to request to be in the same area for our July trip, when we have a sv room booked.

Any tips on passing the time while I do a load of laundry?

Hang out by the quiet pool. It is right outside the laundry.

I honestly think that I get more joy out of planning the trip than the trip itself, as silly as that sounds. It's such an escape to take a few minutes each day to geek out on all things Disney. I think it must give a dose of seratonin or something. Here's hoping I don't develop post-WDW depression! The only cure for that might be booking a bounceback...

NO! It doesn't sound silly at all!!!!!! Every other trip home, I've come back with that awful NOW WHAT feeling, and it's because I've got nothing to plan! This time will be different because I get to plan the holiday trip, and the holiday trip will also be different because I'll be planning our next June trip. And if I start dwelling on how I'm going to feel after THAT trip, I'll start to cry...

Hi guys! For those that have booked a couple months ago, did you receive the little Incredibles booklet in the mail about your upcoming trip? I love those Dumbo cards that have all the important dates on them. Just wondering if they're still sending them! Thanks!!!
