Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

Thanks!! I've definitely been reading the FP threads so I can plan how best to use FP and PH strategy. Hope all goes well when you book your FP!!!! :)
thanks, I have 5 more weeks to figure it out and learn all I can. Would be nice if Disney would let us know about night time shows in November. ROL and Star Wars fireworks.
first time making FP+ 60 days out. last trip we were FP+ "testers" and could pull paper FP too.

OMG three more months. I don't think I could take it. I'm just over a month there. Our bands will be shipped out next week. I'm already packed. Nothing to do but wait for the flight now.......
 
It's funny that I'm so excited to count down the days, but when I get to a certain point I start panicking...like there isn't enough time to do everything and time is running out :earseek: Now with online checkin done and FP+ times picked and tweaked. I'm left with waiting on our MagicBands, finishing our costumes, and turning my thoughts to packing.

I CANT STOP TWEAKING!!! I go on every single night, check our TP and keep finding little ways to wiggle the schedule around to save us a few minutes or make a walk shorter and I can stop messing with our FP! It's like a compulsion!! We got everything we wanted so easily on FP morning that'll kind of took the excitement out of it for me so now I keep rechecking. If they would release nighttime hours and schedule at AK and Star Wars fireworks for HS, I would feel better but it's still so up in the air and we leave next month!!

I know what you mean!!! It's so hard not to want to mess with them. I'm also waiting on HS Fireworks and whatever's going to happen with AK. If they'd do those, I'd probably tweak them more haha!

Still no Star Wars fireworks or ROL listed for our September/October trip either.

And hang out with all of us!!! :D
 
Our bands get mailed out tomorrow...Hooray....Sat a friend game me an Elsa band. I had one last year and this year I get to wear the new one...So excited.
 
Well there is that. One of the best parts. So now I might be taking two trips to Disneyworld next year. I'm planning on renting points with a friend of mine and going next may. Should be fun.
Two trips next year and the first one would be less than a year from your upcoming September trip. Now I'm jealous!!! I need to look into this whole renting points thing.

Yay, Disney mail on the way!!! :woohoo:

How nice of your friend to bring you something back. Several years ago, I dropped some friends off at the airport to go to Florida for a wedding and they brought me back a pair of Mickey ears with my name on them. :earsgirl:

Yes thank-you for thinking of me! We booked a package last year before resort, ticket and DP prices increased for this year and it works out to be a better discount than 15%! We did add on a RO reservation for 1 day at the beginning of our trip and I was able to modify that and saved about $38, Lol! You must be getting so excited now that your trip is getting so much closer!!! How is movie night going? We haven't started ours yet, I am waiting until when they start complaining that they have to go back to school.:) I wish we got our Magic bands ahead of time but we live in Canada so they don't ship them to us, we have to pick them up when we get there. I want to decorate them!:sad:

You're welcome!! I enjoy all of us hanging out and planning our trips together!! It really helps to have those bouncebacks to lock in ticket/room prices for the next year. I know I'm glad I've been able to book them. We missed one weekend already so we kinda doubled up this past weekend by accident. Friday night Pirates happened to be on so we just ate dinner (no theme or rum) in front of the tv. Saturday night we watched Mulan and ate Chinese. We had an extra fortune cookie left over and it said "Make time for a relaxing vacation". Ok, if I must :D. I think the kids have decided on Dumbo for this weekend. That does stink that you can't have them shipped to you, but it's nice to have a package waiting for you when you get there and you don't have to worry about forgetting them when you leave home :). Even if they don't ship them, do they still allow you to pick the color and customize them? I hope so. Our trip is really sneaking up on us!! I can't believe the first week of August is already over!! The kids went back to school today and as odd as it sounds, they beat me getting up this morning!! I still have several things to do and things to get together. By the way, did you ever go by Hot Topic and pick up some bows? Our store had Jessie, Tiana, Wall-E, and the Queen of Hearts on clearance. As we checked out, the girl working there HAD to show us some new ones from Once Upon a Time (our new favorite show). I know you still have a few weeks, but how's FP planning going?

It's fun planning with people who love Disney as much as I do! My husband loves Disney but not so much the planning, LOL. You must have a relaxing vacation now, the cookie's orders.:) Yes we can still pick our magic band colors and my daughter has changed her mind twice already. I keep telling her she can't keep changing them for too much longer. Good point about not having to remember to pack the magic bands, I probably would forget them in our rush out the door for our trip! I think we are going to Hot Topic this week or next and I would love the Wall-E and Jessie ones! They remind me of when my DS 9 was little and loved those movies. I hope the kids had a great first day of school! My kids don't go back until after Labor day so they still have about a month left of summer. I haven't figured out all of my FP's yet, I am hoping my youngest grows a tiny bit more so he can go on more rides this year.:yay:
 
Hi everyone! I haven't forgotten about you, I've just been super busy lately. I've kind of reached that point in my trip planning that I've done all I can do for now, our ADRs are fine, I have a general daily plan that we stick to, so there's not much to do right now.

I guess I have the pre trip blues, LOL.

The struggle is real! I'm right there with you! 108 days to go...
