Heather & Melissa's Epic Adventure October 2014!

OK FP+ done!

First I'll say I was NOT impressed that the very minute the 60 day window opened I was unable to get a 7 Dwarfs Mine Train FP for our first day! (October 2nd!) Also there were none available for Anna and Elsa, the parade, Wishes, etc...

And then I managed to score one for our LAST day but I couldn't select Melissa. So right now those fp+ selections are just for me!

:badpc:

They said oh no this chick can not possibly have any fun on her last day, nope she must suffer and watch Heather have all the fun!

I found another kink that Disney needs to work out no FP+ selections for the last day of an AP holder.

Grrr well when you renew Disney better be adding you to my FP+ selections for that day. This wasn't your fault. If you can enter the park that day you should be able to use your FP+ too! I will wear a big moo moo dress and you can go inside it for the Mine Train. lol :rolleyes1
 

OUR PLANS: (constantly updated!)

Sept 27:
I drive 8 hours to Minnesota! We might be going to a Winnipeg Jets vs Minnesota Wild hockey game that night!

Sept 28
Depending on Melissa's work schedule we may set out on our way to Nashville today!

Sept 30:
We plan to do some sightseeing in Nashville downtown on Broadway all day! Great music and yummy food! Hopefully Shannon can join us for dinner! Possibly dancing on the bar at Coyote Ugly later that night! ;)

Oct 1:
More fun in Nashville! Shannon flys out to Florida in the afternoon so Melissa and I will amuse ourselves for a little while (maybe at Music Row?) before we drive the 11 hours to WDW. We shall survive on coffee and red bulls. I hear you can see sounds if you mix those together. ;)

Okay edits in red!
 
....I'm running out of things to plan and we still have 52 days to go. :surfweb:

Suggestions? :scratchin

Suggestion! Character strategy for MNSSHP! I am thinking Jack and Sally if we don't get them in the race! I don't care about the 7 dwarves get them every year, but if Tarzan is there again I 'm down for him every year!
 
We have 4018 views on our PTR, yet I feel like we are talking to ourselves! Come out and play, we don't bite!

Yes! I will start looking into MNSSHP stuff! :surfweb:

And if we can do 7DMT at rope drop then we don't need to keep a FP+ for it on the last day. I'd rather ride Splash Mountain anyways! lol Over and over and over... weeeeeeeeeeeee :rotfl2: pixiedust:

Okay...so we're going to be on the Dream from 10/02-10/05 and then arriving at BCV on 10/05 until 10/11. You're at WDW until 10/06 and then heading for your DCL cruise. We're getting off a DCL ship right before you are boarding. Does this qualify as "two ships passing in the night (or day)"? :rolleyes1

Hello! I just logged on to the DIS for the first time in forever and found your PTR. I know you ladies are going to have a BLAST, can't wait to hear all about it!
 
Time to talk about MNSSHP! We are going October 5th. Which is our very last night in Disney before we get on our cruise the next day!

Here is the map from last year:
mnsshp.jpg


(use this link to see the image LARGE http://www.easywdw.com/reports9/party2big.jpg )


So now we are trying to figure out our game plan.

I know that I for sure want to meet Jack Sparrow (near pirates of the caribbean) and since our costumes are (at least right now) going to be the evil Stepsisters we have to go and get a picture with the Tremaine family!

I'm thinking I am going to grab as MUCH candy as I possibly can at the party and then bring it on the cruise ship and share it with the cast members! :) I don't need to each a lot of candy...not with the #croptopchallenge! lol Never mind all the alcohol and food we plan to have at Food and Wine!

THIS is a great review of the party from EasyWDW
http://www.easywdw.com/uncategorize...r-locations-and-strategy-buying-tickets-more/

What else to do?
 
Is there a cheat sheet that shows what all the character locations are?
