64 DAYS TO GO!

 

[lisalonglash]

56 More days!!

Question, after you leave Disney and travel home, do you take a day to relax or do you get back at it? We will get home late that Sunday night, and my kids will be back at school and my DH will be in meetings all week. I'll be unpacking and washing clothes. It's so sad isn't it.

Last trip, we did take a day - flew home on Saturday night. This trip, we're flying back on Sunday night, no resting up for us

Ooooh, 54 days!!

 

[GraceLuvsWDW]

We'll be there Sept 23-28, staying at Poly MK View with 40% off PIN!

9/23 MK eve then dinner at Chef Mickey's
9/24 AK til 4pm lunch at Tusker House MK for Spectro & Wishes then dinner at 'OHana
9/25 DHS til 4pm lunch at H&V, MK for MNSSHP
9/26 EP late breakfast at Akershus, midday rest at Poly, then back to EP for F&W
9/27 MK lunch at CP
9/28 MK am then ME to airport around noon

 

[tzielinski22]

Our countdown is now at 70 days and counting. I'm looking forward to this trip more than any other that I have taken because this will be my daughter's first trip and she's so excited. I have to sit on you tube showing her "Mickey's House" at least twice a day. We're going Sept 26-Oct 1st and we're eating at Chef Mickey's, Hollywodd and Vine, and the Crystal Palace. My only concern is that since it's the start of the F&W should I be worried that it'll be extremely crowded?


FYI- I just found out about this website this morning thanks to a survey about Disney Dining. I can't believe I hadn't found this sooner. This site rocks!

[jenny105]

I'll be staying at WL the same time as you! You're staying in a bunch of different hotels it seems like!

 

[trickiwoo]

I just bought my airplane tickets over the weekend, so today I made sure to get my reservation for DME!

The Boyfriend and I are arriving 9/13 and we plan on checking into ASMu then going shopping at DTD! We plan on doing Hollywood Studios on 9/14, Epcot on 9/15, Animal Kingdom on 9/16 and Magic Kingdom on 9/17. Then flying home on 9/18!


I am sooo excited! It's my first time ever going to WDW! (I've only been to DLR) The Boyfriend hasn't been since 1999, so there's a lot of new attractions he's looking forward to! (He's also looking forward to drinking beers from all over the world at Epcot, since this will be his first WDW trip since he's been of legal drinking age!)

I tell ya, September cannot come soon enough!

As for what we do when we get back, we purposefully planned our trip so that we'd be flying home on Friday so that we'd have a few days to rest and relax before heading back to work on Monday. And since we're flying to Orlando on a Sunday, that gives us all day Saturday to pack and make all the last minute vacation arrangements we need! That also works out nicely because we'll be in the parks Mon-Thurs which we're hoping will be less crowded than on the weekend.

Looks like you're jumping around also

We have Pop booked for the entire stay with the free DDP and AKL booked for the night of the Expedition Everest Challenge for the convience and for a special rate. As a surprise for my mom for her birthday... we're staying at WL from 22-25 with the DxDP.

What a great surprise!

We are jumping around a little bit. We're going on a disney cruise mid-way through the trip so we're staying at WL for the pre-cruise nights and AKV for the post-cruise nights! I can't wait.

 

[aim]

66 more days for me! CSR here we come!!

Is anyone else getting concerned about the September crowds? I am reading more and more about the resorts being full to capacity and am getting worried.

 

[RFrank9504]

Oh the evil Itinerary Planning Office...they have such awesome ideas-its making me crazy the plans, the changes, all the magic packed into 6 days-I need a disney vacation to relax after my disney vacation!

So they "suggested" some alternate dining options to "optimize my park experience" so my new new revised itinerary this week is:

9/2 HS, dinner PTC
9/3 Breakfast 1900 Park Fare
Dinner BC Cape May Cafe Clam Bake
9/4 Dinner Captain's Grille
9/5 Sons Bday Kids Pirates Cruise at GF
MK for Pirates League Makeovers
Dinner T-Rex
Celebration Cruise for MK Wishes (my son has one heck of a 5th bday planned)
9/6 BF Tusker House (W/ Donald and Friends)
Dinner O'Hana's (sadly, I bought us matching hawiian outfits-it'll make awesome pics and xmas cards!)
9/7 Lunch Sci-Fi before we drive home.

I need a vacation from planning this already!
(do i hear bounceback??)

[wdwmom0f3]

Just got an email offering a free upgrade to OKW or SSR - we got SSR!!! So excited!!

My sister got it too!! We will be there the following week and I guess the folks at the Mods were not getting upgraded. This is our very first time to stay at POR and when I told my DH about the upgrades he said he wanted to stay at POR if we are offered anything. So sorry, if they were to upgrade me to the Poly, I would have to take it. Like that would ever happen anyway.

We are now 50 days away!!!!

[RFrank9504]

woohoo-final payment cleared and I'm all paid up-all my ADRs are confirmed and now all I need to do is figure out the spending money. I really wish they would include tips for the DDP again its really messing with my calculating. That was the convenient part of it. I always save my change and singles and buy lotsa disney dollars for snacks and stuff-but i think its going to tips/gratuities this year....
