[Tinker Pam]

SOOOO Excited. I've been checking daily for Magic Bands and this morning, it is showing them and allowing me to customize for my Nov 20 AOA check in as well as Nov 22 POR check in. I am so happy.

I cannot imagine my engineer, never cries, Irishman would ever do that, but I guess who knows what Disney Magic will do to someone!

Lol....my husbands a police officer in a pretty rough town. Its amazing what a little Disney magic can do!

Hmm. I am only able to customize for AoA, not my main stay at POR....

70 days and we're off to see the Mouse ... woohoo

My 1st moment was walking down an empty Main Street for an early ADR at CP. My Dad and the boys were dancing in the street. What a great way to start off the trip. And then the night before we left, youngest DS was 'too old' for kiddie stuff, but at wishes when tink flew right above him, his reaction was priceless. Yep, can't wait to go back.

we have an ADR for CP before the park opens, I am so looking forward to walking down an empty Main St.

Hey all! Yay! We had some reprieve from the rain yesterday, but no sun. Rain all day today. Loved the wear your bathing suits comment, Xipotec. That was our mind set the first day, but the temps are mid 70's and when your soaked to the core...that hypothermia thing sets in. Supposed to be nice and sunny next 2 days!!!

A note about MB's: bands are not working so great to open exterior resort doors and gates to pool area.

Also, Photopass Pics can be transferred to MBs without the PP card. I believe this just took effect because not all PP peeps are aware of this. So, if your party separates the one without the card can have it saved to their MB. BUT, pics have to be transferred to the card before you leave the park. Pics can be transferred at any PP location.

sorry you have had such a rotten time with the weather.

Did you do BOG FP+ yet?

 

[Chela227]

Scheduled FP+'s and got MB's! Yay!

Question for those that are there now or just got back... Can you tell me which princesses are with Rapunzel and which ones are with Cinderella? We had a choice of one or the other for FP+ but I'm not sure how it looks / works now that they have moved out if town hall into their new home. TIA, .

I have not been yet (have FP) but the 2nd princess is a mystery until you get to enter the hall. I have FP+ for Rapunzel as its the only place you can see her at MK and we have an ADR fro CRT so will see Cindy there. Reports so far have been that Snow White has been with Rapunzel.

Thank you, . I knew it was the only way to see Rapunzel but I noticed at town hall the princesses didn't change very often. So thinking that it would be the same in their new home. We saw Rapunzel and Merida (who was AMAZING) in January. Oh, Tiana and Prince Naveen too. I guess I was assuming they'd put them all in one place but then maybe not. Either way, I'd highly recommend Merida, Tiana, and Prince Naveen too. But then we are from New Orleans so maybe a bit biased. They all just seemed to take mire time and really wowed our girls.

My daughter loves the grey stuff! I have good news for her tonight! Thanks Joe!

Yep, I managed to do a FastPass+ thing for lunch the other day and when I made the reservation, that was one of the options. Master's cupcake or something like that. Chocolate cake with grey stuff icing.

 

[theallens]

So excited...47 days out and checked today and was able to reserve fast passes and customize magic bands...This is beginning to seem more real....if only 47 days would fly by now.....

 

[Kat016]

Ok....I have 30 days left....and I think I'm having the pre vacation panic attacks. We booked everything such a long time ago that I have the irrational fear of everything disappearing. Like we won't be on the flight manifest and our reservations with disney won't be there. The rational side of me KNOWS everything is fine. Ive done online check in with POP. I've already received my MM. My MBs are customized. The cutoff for them is today. So hopefully ill get them soon. I'm waiting for my PP+ paperwork to show up yet. I have everything that I could print out printed just for backup. I don't like the fact that my airline tickets are digital. The last time i flew was about 11 yrs ago and I had physical tickets in my hands long before I left. Now I just do online check in the night before. Somebody tell me I'm not the only one that feels this!!!!

 

[v.t.]

I tried to do my FP+ today and I am having trouble. It keeps giving me times when we have a TS res (12:15 res, 1:00 FP) and states a 3:00 FP overlaps my TS. My reservations linked on MDE are correct. Any suggestions? And how/when can I get a BOG FP for lunch?
TIA

For those who haven't seen the thread on here. A couple of discounts dropping on October 8. It basically mirrors the PIN codes that were issued back in July. Dates covered from January 5-April 12 and all that jazz. Also should be a stay/play/dine in there too. You can look up the thread if you like.

I wouldn't worry about jammed up phone lines. These discounts are much slower to book. Nothing is as bad as the last two free dining releases, the phones were off the charts.

Dave and I have both been at Disney so a bit out of the loop if ya know what I mean....quite literally the only time in my life I turn my phone off and leave it in the room.

At any rate. I hope you all get bouncebacks booked for next year and we will all be covered. Remember, you can book a bounceback even if you are not given an offer at checkin or in your room...just call 8844 and tell them you want either free dining or a room discount and the dates vary depending on which you want.

Cheers

Sadly, it will be another 3-5 years before we can afford to go again. But I'll be hanging around the Discount Board watching all the anticipation and excitement for those going next year. Gosh, I'm starting to feel sad and our trip hasn't even taken place yet.
