Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

[Iowamomof4]

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

When there isn't a free dining BB offer, they do usually offer a room discount BB. It's worth checking.

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.

Good deals on the bows, I might have to get in there soon. I am glad FP went so smoothly!We saw Secret Life of Pets too and they kids thought it was really funny.

Summer is over for the kids here. They head back to school Friday. Hope your kids are enjoying their summer break!!!

I hope you had a great summer with the kids!!! My kids don't go back until September 6 here and so far (except for the heat wave) they are having lots of fun!

So after looking over the new BB offer I started thinking, maybe I could book 5/29 as a RO and go to the Flower and Garden Festival then book 5/30 for FD or maybe book a Christmas trip next year. The only problem is crowd levels look to be high for either trip.

I was supposed to go to Hawaii with the family but not too excited for that, so I'll be doing another bounce back for Sept next year. I checked the costs of the room and its the lowest by far. So thats where I'll be next year.

My friends fly back today from their four day trip. I don't think, if I didn't have kids, that I would spend seven hours away from the parks. They were done by four one day and i was like, what are you doing? Magic kingdom is open another 12 hours, get your butts back out there....We def do Disney different. LOL

Sorry I meant eight hours.

I agree! We honeymooned at Disney and we closed those parks every night! However, we now have a 2.5 year old and a 6 year old and we will still close down every park when we are there next month. It's possible we are a tad bit more hard core than normal people!

I talked to my brother and he was like, what a waste. I guess some people just need the breaks. First year no breaks, second year we would leave an hour or two before, but we had the park hopper so got a lot more use out of the parks. Were at all the rope drops, this year only two rope drops I think.

 

[Sharongal74]

The first 3 times we opened and closed everyday. My mom thought we were crazy....wait she still thinks that. She doesn't like Disney and doesn't understand why I need to go back again. The last time we didn't have hoppers and we would leave and take 3-4 hour breaks. The kids loved the pool games the cm's played. We are hopping this time so we will see how breaks work.

congrats on getting your FP's. If you haven't checked it out yet there are some great tips on the Everything FP+ section, doesn't sound like you even need to book 3 FP+ and can use the app to book another while you are in line for one of your first FP+.

we have a 7:10PM return flight and right now I am planning on booking Soarin for that day. will be our second EPCOT day, but a shorter one.

We took my parents to Disneyland a few years ago, we thought it would be cool since they hadn't been there since they were like really little. Yeah not really fun for either one. Me I could go open to close every day and be happy. My friend is like why don't you work there, uh because I think then the magic would be gone. I wouldn't want to see all the behind the scenes and hear some of the horror stories of working for Disney. I have a problem already with some surly people who are just visiting the parks. My parents would be those surly people. Thats why me and my brother even though we are in our 40's totally enjoy the park and love to go from open to close.

We plan to rope drop, park hop and go non stop (or till we drop)!!!

My dad thinks I'm crazy for going as often as I do, but I think he likes Disney a little. One year Goofy came up behind my dad, put his arm around him and shook his hand. There was photopass guy there and he snapped a photo of my dad and Goofy. My dad had the biggest grin on his face. When I showed my dad the photo, he asked if I would get him a 5x7 of it . Love it.

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!!!!

That sounds like an awesome time. I hope to talk to my friends today. They got home last night.
