Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

[Sharongal74]

I'm jealous because my best friend is at WDW right now and I had the opportunity to go. I'm getting daily pics from them and I have guess the ride they are on. So far I'm three for three.

Last year me older daughter went without us and I made her FaceTime wishes and illuminations! Not quite the same but still fantastic.

I was thinking the same thing! I will be arriving in Disney this month!!

My friends are in AK right now. I'm so sad. But they are having a blast apparently. Have fun on your trip. We will be heading out next month. I can't wait.

My friends are going all out. They had the desert with Wishes, then today and tomorrow they are doing the special tour that gets them to the front of the line and other things. They are set. I don't know how I would feel about that. I felt bad because they are forking out a huge chunk of money when it's not really necessary and I tried to explain that but....

Hello??????? Just checking to see if anybody is here. It's been very quiet.

Still here. Kids are keeping me busy this summer.

I booked FP this morning with no problem. I was even able to get FEA with plenty of times to choose from. Fingers crossed that Soarin doesn't have long waits or maybe I can get a 4th FP during our trip.

I went to Hot Topic Friday to pick up an Ariel bow for my oldest and they had a few other Disney bows on clearance. The ones on clearance were buy one get one for $1.

No Disney movie over the weekend because we were out of town, but I did take the kids to see Secret Life of Pets. Maybe we'll watch 1 Friday night and 1 Saturday night this weekend.

Wow thats getting it done. I wish I would have gotten more done this weekend, but I was with my friends while they were getting ready to head out to WDW. It was a mess because a storm had rolled through Phoenix. But they got there ok. Then I had to run to Costco and ended up getting a new phone. Two hours of my day gone like that.

I would have been tempted to throw my luggage in and went with them!!! Glad to hear your friends got there safely and are having a good time.

I would have, but I have a surgery coming up and don't have the time off from work. Actually I was going to go, but then I couldn't get the time off and that was that.

I'm planning on going back next September for our 20th anniversary Just DH and I. I would love to do something special. With 4 (in the past 5) of us some of the stuff is just to much money.
Looks like you come in a week after us! Seems so close but this waiting is horrible haha!

I agree but the dates im planning on still fall within those dates. But my brother says you can rent 8 nights of points for the boardwalk for 1400 or Animal Kingdom for 1200. Those are really good deals.

 

[scard192]

we need to check in this year before FD starts and did get a really good deal from at TA that is almost as good as FD that kept the trip in budget. But the kids REALLY want to go to Universal so it's possible this might be our last Disney trip for a long time...might cross over the "dark side" in 2019/2020.

 

[Sharongal74]

Is there usually a room only discount also for bounce backs?

Nope, usually rack rate.

Why not do both in the same trip. We are heading to hard rock universal for a few nights after Disney. Love that they give you front of line passes the whole time when you stay at a universal hotel, you don't need to stay as long.

I just asked my mom this weekend if she wanted to go to the F&W Festival next year. Hoping there is a better BB available when we get there.
