Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

I got my magic band stickers today! Got my Minnie pedicure! Ahhhhh so excited!!

Do you have a package or room only? I believe you get the tags with a package but not with a room only. At least, that's what I've heard. There's a thread around here somewhere with a few more details. It does sound like some people miss out on tags at times when they ought to get them though.

Ah, that must be it. I'm on a room only discount.

I'm estimating savings of about $170 over what I'd have paid for a package...I guess I can buy my own luggage tag

I have a tag from 2009, blue, shiny, hard plastic has the Castle on it; it's my favorite anyway.

sat down with Sis today and went over park days (she doesn't care) and FP+ (she cares a little); needed to know who is riding what and especially what my 6 year niece will be riding. 16 days until I make FP+.

Stuff by tam on fb. this was her first time making them (she is a family friend) she did a great job and will put whatever you want on them! I just gave her characters and she designed them.

We were part of the test group too!! I usually do mine at 60 days out when I make FP selections. Once you start to customize your MB, the system will tell you how many days you have left to finalize customizing them. No matter how early you start your MB order, you will still be allowed to make changes all the way up till your last day to customize. Be aware, the final day to customize listed in your booklet does not match the online date. For example, this trip my booklet said to customize by 9/19, but online showed 8/30 which is right at 30 days out. Maybe the dates have to do with those who have MB shipped and those who don't.

What do you mean about customizing? You mean changing colors or is this something else?

you can pick your color and what name you want printed on the backside. that's it for customizing

Well last night I read that they were considering going to the pucks so that will have a whole new thing. You can drop them in your pocket, wear them on your wrist or even I guess some can or will be able to be added to lanyards.

I did see they were testing those! i wonder if/when they will make that switch. We like the MBs

So from what I've seen I'm not a huge fan of the puck. I like having something strapped to all my kids, going to a pocket item is an opportunity for a lost item, even the lanyard idea still causes problems, just like the old day tickets, putting those on a lanyard still going to come out or get taken out and misplaced. Oh well

Definitely prefer the MB over the puck!! It just seems awkward and I know who will get stuck keeping up with all of them!!

36 hours and I will be on my flight!!! As long as rain doesn't delay it. Ugh! Plan on putting on ponchos and go. Worried about wet feet, going to try moisture wicking socks. DD and DH not packed yet.
If my flight would get delayed (please no!) and it comes in after 10 I need to get my luggage? The yellow tags won't mess that up?

Have fun. I hope there is no delay. I just packed my poncho. And yes if you arrive after ten you will need to collect your own luggage, the people stop collecting the yellow tags. I hope you have a wonderful time.

OHHH man we are down to 12 days and I am already too excited to wait anymore!!!! I am already in the process of picking dates and resort for BB so when we are there I already have a package in mind.... It seems really unreal how fast this trip has come up. We have been bouncing the idea of doing the MNSSHP but we are too indecisive right now so I think we will end up putting off til next trip (maybe).

Everyone's trip is coming up so quickly, and I just want to go tomorrow!!!!!

I'll be on a plane this time 10 days from now! Wooooo!!! I'm also considering buying a MNSSHP ticket...I can get them cheap and I've never been. Still haven't made up my mind, though.

You're in the home stretch!!!

We love doing MNSSHP!!! Hallowishes is my absolute favorite firework show and the Boo to You parade is great!! Plus the wait times for rides are shorter and there is plenty of trick or treating to be done!! Definitely check out the HM during the party. The CM's are all decked out in their ghostly attire. If you do decide to go, I hope you have a Spooktacular time!!!
