February 2014

It hasn't been but a few hours since I made the FP+ reservation but it has yet to show up on main "DisneyWorld" website when I log in. I made sure to leave one of the three spots open to make this reservation. I guess it will take some time to align since the "BeOurGuestLunch" website seems to be slightly different from the main website (crossing my fingers).

Are there any other FP+ reservations that can be made in conjunction with your meals? I made one regular reservation at Hollywood and Vine with the Fantasmic line option.

It won't show up on the main Disney page. It's totally separate. You also still have 3 FP+ per day. The BOG lunch FP is a "bonus" FP so you really can have 4 FP for that day.

There aren't any other FP meals. Everything else would be an ADR.

So, what's everyone doing the day they get in?

We touch down in Orlando at 1:30 p.m. and I figure we'll be at POR by 3. If everyone isn't too tired, we're going to take the boat to Downtown Disney and check that out before heading to the Polynesian for a 6:40 dinner at Ohana. Then, it's home and to bed early for MK first thing in the morning.

We're 20 days out, it's 10 degrees in Iowa today and I'm feeling restless.

We arrive in 21 days. Our flight lands at 9:30 so we should be at The Grand Floridian by 11:00. We will head straight to MK because I have a to be back at the Grand for a class at 2:00. I have a coworker going with us that only has 2 days there. We want to squeeze in as much park time as possible between classes.

24 days out We get in to MCO about 9:50 a.m., hope to be to POFQ no later than 11:30. Will head right to MK to try out FP+ for the first time. Then BOG dinner for the 3rd time! And 4th time on the 17th

16 days! Tomorrow 15.. I can make it right?? I may burst!!!

We drive down the 31st and stay at an off site hotel. Check in bright and early on the 1st, and hit MK. I have no idea what we will do that day! It will be up to my daughter. First thing we have to find Cinderella, then I guess whatever.

Am I crazy for not having a plan? We have 2 days at MK. While I want to get as much done as possible, I don't want to rush. I want to be able to take our time and enjoy it instead of rushing off to something else. But I guess this also depends on the crowds.

Can't wait! We check in on the 24th! Thanks to the free dining PIN we got today, I added a night at the resort and a day on to the tix for $30

Arrive early morning at MCO, check in at POR (like you) and head straight to MK and hopefully make some of the FP reservations I made. Not sure when/where we will squeeze in lunch but we have 6:50 reservation at Ohana (like you) and hopefully will catch some fireworks.

I hope it gets warmer in Iowa! Here in MD, we had one day of 10 deg weather and then three days later its 60 deg ... ah you silly polar vortex you.

Thanks for the tip!!! I was about to lose a FP because I over thunk it.

We'll be landing around 11pm (gasp), and I figure we'll reach POP around 2 am. We have no plans at all for the rest of the day, just rest and fight the damn jet lag (we'll be coming from South East Asia). The next day is our full park day - hollywood studios!

What????? You just barely got a free dining PIN? So there's still hope??

Can I book a BOG FP+ on the MDE app or do I need to do it online?

You can't book BOG FP+ on MDE or the MDE app. It is a separate site completely. Google beourguestlunchfp+ and it'll come up. Make sure you have your all numbers reservation confirmation number as it doesn't accept the reservation # that contains letters.

DH & I will be at Jambo House Feb. 2-7, 2014. We usually go in Feb. crowds aren't bad unless Mardi Gras and President's Day fall in the same week.

 

[ariane37]

Yes. All at PORFQ. I was able to add the days at my stay play and dine rate
My daughter is ten so around the age of your boys

Maybe we'll run into each other Would have been nice to hang at the pool if the weather cooperated, unfortunately we have to trek to POR for that

Where do I find the all numbers confirmation number? Mine has letters.

Where do I find the all numbers confirmation number? Mine has letters.

The all numerical reservation can be found on MDE under resort reservation prior to paying it off. It can also be found under magic band customization prior to them being processed and shipped. If both of those things have occurred already it can also be found on the yellow bag tags that are sent to you in the mail when using the magical express. Hope that helps

we leave in 24 days!

it's my (Lizz) 3rd time to WDW (husband jacob has been many time/went frequently growing up). the first i got a horrible norovirus our first full day there and was out of commission for ~90% of the trip and it was horrible. the second time was a big 'family' trip with my in-laws/my husband's sister and her BF and there was MAJOR drama pretty much the whole time (courtesy of my MIL) which cut into the fun.

THIS time, well, you know what they says...third time's a charm! we've got a baby now who will be turning 1 year old during our trip. we extended the offer to MIL to come (she's a disney fanatic) and she was dismissive & rude about our choice to take the baby so young and did not commit to plans within the (6 month) time frame we gave her, so her invitation was rescinded. of course NOW she wants to come, but it's not happening. and honestly, both of us are actually happy about it! she saw the baby at christmas and also thanksgiving anyway.

my dad is going to travel to florida for a few days during our trip as his brother is a police officer in the orlando area and he goes to visit often anyway...so we have a couple of days set aside to spend time with him which we are very excited about (my dad is extremely laid back and fun). he hasn't seen the baby since june when he was only 4 months old.

anyway, we are doing a triple split stay...renting points at BLT, then at AKL-jambo and then we extended our trip one more night and booked it at AOA because i totally forgot about president's day and it ended up being more cost efficient to pay for the resort than pay a premium on airplane tickets for tuesday the 18th.

that was long winded...oh well...we're excited!

Thanks for sharing the information about where to find the number. I was able to get a Fastpass lunch for BOG on Valentine's Day!

I think you might be okay since you will be there the first week of February. The crowds should be manageable. I wish I would have just let things flow a bit the first time I took my DH. He still talks about how I just rushed him from one place to another on my agenda and he really just wanted to stop and soak in the atmosphere and especially Main Street and the Castle. So, I regret not doing that!
