You get to a point with your Disney vacation planning where you really start to sweat things:
1) We are going during Jersey Week and Touring Plans bumped their numbers from 3/4 to 5/6 on the days we're in the parks.
2) My hotel, POR, has ZERO availability. Food court and pools will be a hot mess.
3) No RnR, No BTMRR, No Dinosaur, Half of Hollywood Studios looks like a war zone.
4) Christmas Party taping announced on here 2 hours after I booked CP tix for the 10th.
5) Parades and fireworks have really been cut back since our last stay in '12.
Now, just 14 days out, it hits you.
"You're going on vacation, your ADR's and FP's are booked. The weather at this point is probably the best time of the year to go, everyone's healthy, the trip and flights are paid off, you scored a dirt cheap rental car and YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AT WORK FOR 10 DAYS!"
We're used to mid-Oct historically low or even early January really low crowds. This will certainly be a change for us, but honestly, I'm at the point now where whatever happens, happens. Just go with the flow and enjoy the fact that you're on a trip alot of people only take once in a lifetime, if at all.
