For the first time in forever - I have 2 active tickers!! A Sept and Dec 2014 Trip

[MonsterWDWmom]

Hi everyone All my fatspasses are made, I decided to skip on one of my Epcot days so I could make it for my last MK day. I am away this week (I know a vacation before a vacation) but I will be back and I should have a nice big update!

 

[SarahDisney]

I finally took the time to sit down and read your PTR (I stumbled upon it last week and just never got around to reading).

Firstly, yay on the two trips!
I love what you did with the MBs, all three are gorgeous.

I also always go to Disney when it's too cold for Splash Mountain! I've never been on it! I think once when I went the weather was okay, but the wait was like 2 hours and I didn't want to wait that long. We're hoping to do it on our next trip too (weather permitting).

I'm the same as Becky with Pooh ... there are a lot of characters I want to see, but the one I'm always most excited for and MUST see is Pooh.

I'm glad your girls will get to see the Frozen Summer Fun ... from the party pictures I'm guessing they're huge Frozen fans, so they must be really excited for it!

So far your plans look good. I agree with you that AP holder should get an early FP+ selection time than 45 days ... but I guess Disney doesn't think that's necessary.

Looking forward seeing what else you have planned!

Great PTR! I'm glad there is no surgery in the near future, and that it did not prohibit any trip plans! That is soooo awesome you guys are going on 2 trips, I can't wait to see the actual TRs!

Also, the Frozen birthday party looked like a lot of fun!! Can't wait to read more!!

 

[RooRach0906]

Rant away I always thought that they should let annual pass holder get longer than just a typically offsite guest. 45 days was the number I thought to.

Great day 3 plans. We are hoping our dd is at the 40' mark too. I went ahead and made all our fastpasses like she has and if she hasn't I will change them once we get there.

Can't wait for your next update.

 

[KatMark]

I'm so sorry...I don't know how I lost my subscription to your thread.

The FP+ you have sound good. I'm sorry for the late Mine Train FP, but hopefully you can change it later.

I hope DD makes the 40 inches for Soarin'.

Great PTR! I'm glad there is no surgery in the near future, and that it did not prohibit any trip plans! That is soooo awesome you guys are going on 2 trips, I can't wait to see the actual TRs!

We are all happy that surgery is not in the near future!
I can;t believe how lucky we are to have 2 trips in just 3 months!

Also, the Frozen birthday party looked like a lot of fun!! Can't wait to read more!!

Rant away I always thought that they should let annual pass holder get longer than just a typically offsite guest. 45 days was the number I thought to.
Thank you at least I am not alone in my thinking

Great day 3 plans. We are hoping our dd is at the 40' mark too. I went ahead and made all our fastpasses like she has and if she hasn't I will change them once we get there.
It's so hard when kids are so close to the height requirement and yet so far! I hope your DD makes it too!

Can't wait for your next update.

Coming up!

I'm so sorry...I don't know how I lost my subscription to your thread.

This has been happening to me a lot lately! Well welcome back!

The FP+ you have sound good. I'm sorry for the late Mine Train FP, but hopefully you can change it later.

So far no luck with the later Mine Train at this point I am just happy that we got it

I hope DD makes the 40 inches for Soarin'.

Thanks we will be bringing princess shoes that have a little heel that should help with the process

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

I finally took the time to sit down and read your PTR (I stumbled upon it last week and just never got around to reading).

Thanks for joining in!

Firstly, yay on the two trips!
I love what you did with the MBs, all three are gorgeous.

I still can't believe I am going twice! The MB's were fun to decorate and this week I am actually picking up my mom's and I am going to decorate hers too!

I also always go to Disney when it's too cold for Splash Mountain! I've never been on it! I think once when I went the weather was okay, but the wait was like 2 hours and I didn't want to wait that long. We're hoping to do it on our next trip too (weather permitting).

I think this might be the ride I am most excited for

I'm the same as Becky with Pooh ... there are a lot of characters I want to see, but the one I'm always most excited for and MUST see is Pooh.

Just yesterday she same up to me and reminded me that we are having breakfast with Pooh first before anything else!

I'm glad your girls will get to see the Frozen Summer Fun ... from the party pictures I'm guessing they're huge Frozen fans, so they must be really excited for it!

They don't really know about it I am going to try to surprise them and see how they react to it!

So far your plans look good. I agree with you that AP holder should get an early FP+ selection time than 45 days ... but I guess Disney doesn't think that's necessary.

Apparently Disney thinks 30 days is enough But I can't complain too much I did get everything except Anna and Elsa, it was just very stressful at the time

Looking forward seeing what else you have planned!

Update coming up!

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

Okay sorry it has been soooo long. I am back and I promise I will get these updates out quick as we leave in 12 days!!!

Day 4:

Today we are at the MK and we will be getting in early for an appointment at



Now I was able to get a 8:05 appointment even though I over slept on the 180 day mark Unfortunatley this is not a pre park opening as this morning is extra magic hours. Oh well we will still be there early

After BBB at 9:20 Faith has an appointment to be made into a mermaid at



She is very excited about this as she has never really been into BBB as the hairstyles are just too much for her. She is planning on wearing her Ariel dress this day!

For fast passes we have:

11:30- 12:30



After this we may try to get lunch at BOG. I think it will be nice for the girls to eat in a castle while they are dressed up!

Then from 1:20 to 2:20 we have a meeting at



After our meet our next fastpasses are from 2:35 to 3:35 and it is to:



The Haunted Mansion! Faith loves this ride, we have the music to this and she sings it all the time. I might change this as I am unsure if we really want to go from Fantasyland to Liberty square right away.

I am hoping we can get to see Anna and Elsa this day (if we haven't yet)

Now for dinner I am trying a new restaurant!



I have a feeling after dinner we will be going home to rest!

Up Next day 5

 

[RooRach0906]

BBB and the Pirates League in the same day I bet that will be fun and you could compare differences easily.

We are unsure about BBB for DD as she has curly hair that tangles easily. We don't want her to be screaming that they are hurting her.

That would be fun to do BoG all dressed up.

Sounds like a great day!!!

Woohoo 12 days!!! Our trips are getting so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

Okay so this morning I do not think we will be in a rush as we have a late night because we are going to MNSSHP!!!

To start the day we are going to Hollywood studios



We have to be at the park by at least 9:45 for our first fastpasses of the day!



This will be my first time doing this ride! Every time I have gone we have not been able to get fastpasses and the stand by was way to long.

Next up we will be seeing Faith's favorite princess



After this we have a very special lunch appointment with some Disney Jr pals!

We are heading to Hollywood and Vine to have lunch with Jake Sofia and Doc. We did this lunch a few years ago and the only character the girls knew at the time was Jake. But last year they updated the characters and now this is the only place in Disney World you can actually meet Doc, and we will save ourselves from waiting in line for Sofia!

Once Lunch is done our last fastpass is for:



I thought I might like to bring the girls to this so I can see how they like it. they will be seeing it again on Sunday so I may change this fastpass (but in reality I can't imagine my kids minding seeing this multiple time)

We will leave the park early and probably head back to the house to get ready for the Party!

I am planning on being there in enough time to line for Jack and Sally so about 6:00. Now this past weekend my father mentioned that he wanted to have him, my husband and my brother get made up like pirates for the party. I told him I would look into it and see if I could get an appointment, well I did! So now all 3 guys are going to the Pirates League at 6:30 to get made up like pirates! My husband is not looking forward to this but I know my dad will love it!

The one problem I have is the meet with Jack and Sally if my husband wants to be there I am not sure if he will be done by 7:00 or shortly after. So I might try to get an earlier appointment for him

For the rest if the night we are just going to enjoy the party and all that it has to offer!

Up Next day 6

 

[RooRach0906]

Great plan for Hollywood Studios!

That will be cool for all the guys to be dressed like Pirates.

Meeting Jack and Sally that will be so awesome I am sure, hopefully one day I can talk DH into the party.

 

[SarahDisney]

I love the idea of going to BOG while the girls are all dressed up. I really hope you get to do it!

Meeting Ariel while Faith is a mermaid wearing her Ariel dress will be great! Make sure you have your camera ready because it will be a great photo.

12 days!!!! So exciting!

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

BBB and the Pirates League in the same day I bet that will be fun and you could compare differences easily.

Yes I am excited to be able to compare the experiences, however I have a feeling I will be the parent at BBB and my husband will be at pirates league (as I don't think either one of the kids wants to wait around for their sister!)

We are unsure about BBB for DD as she has curly hair that tangles easily. We don't want her to be screaming that they are hurting her.

You can always bring a brush with you and brush it right before and I know that they do use spray conditioned in all the girls hair

That would be fun to do BoG all dressed up.



Sounds like a great day!!!

Woohoo 12 days!!! Our trips are getting so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it is crazy!

Great plan for Hollywood Studios!

That will be cool for all the guys to be dressed like Pirates.

My dad is really excited I can't say that much for my husband though

Meeting Jack and Sally that will be so awesome I am sure, hopefully one day I can talk DH into the party.

Seeing them will be a highlight of our night Faith and Becky love Nightmare Before Christmas!

Just keep trying he has to eventually give in right

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

I love the idea of going to BOG while the girls are all dressed up. I really hope you get to do it!

I do to. I will just make sure to get a return time early in the morning and hopefully that will work!

Meeting Ariel while Faith is a mermaid wearing her Ariel dress will be great! Make sure you have your camera ready because it will be a great photo.

That is exactly what I was thinking! Which is why I did the fastpass for this day!

12 days!!!! So exciting!

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

I wanted to post some pictures of the countdown that we are doing! This is actually the first time we are doing one and the kids love it:





It is fun to see the kids reaction when the move it every day and the realize that we are getting close!

 

[RooRach0906]

That is such a cute countdown. Do the numbers represent days or weeks?

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

That is such a cute countdown. Do the numbers represent days or weeks?

Thank you! Out of all the ones I saw this is the one I liked best. The numbers represent days. I just had it moved up for the pictures as the whole track would not fit in my camera lens, as of today we are all track 11 which means 11 days!

 

[LoJoDisney]

I love your countdown- what a cute idea!!!

Your trip is SO CLOSE! We leave in 12 days!!

 

[Victoriasmom98]

No offense to anyone else out there, but THAT IS THE BEST COUNTDOWN I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! I've seen tonz of links, etc, but never a monorail track. OMG!!!

Your days look awesome!!!

 

[KatMark]

that you were able to get the BBB on your MK morning despite oversleeping. We loved the Pirate League experience with Avery...they were great.

Your plans for the Studios sound great.

And love your countdown calendar.
