Here today...

Hi All,

Arrived via southwest this morning at 945a from Philadelphia. 1/2 empy flight
15 min wait for ME, at the Yacht club about an hour later.
Booked under a standard and we were given a marina/boardwalk view. garden grocer delivery on time w/no problems. Housekeeping delivered bounceback offer.

pool was empty at YC. able to get seated right away at beaches n Cream around 12noon.

went to MK around 3pm-quiet- the longest wait was for PP approx 20 min. all others were 5 min if that. iphone WDW wait times are great in the park and pretty accurate.

We did the wishes dessert party- it was very good, rained and we were covered and I had tears in my eyes watching and listening to wishes, i never really paid attention until today because I had a good quiet spot- very nice view. Desserts were constantly being refreshed.

left right after wishes and made the 1st bus back to the YC/BC (which does not stop anywhere else).

DHS tomorrow.

good nite!

Looking forward to tomorrow's report...

Housekeeping delivered bounceback offer.

what is this? You mean a "book your next vacation while on this one and get a discount?" kind of deal?

Or an offer of a springier bed?

Or something else?

Just wanted to chime in and say, " I'm jealous".

That is all!

Hey we are here now too, and went to MK about 3pm ish. It was awesome! I dont know if I've ever seen it that dead. Let's hope this keeps up!

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update. Great to hear. Leaving tonight on a 7:00 pm Soutwest flight out of Pittsburgh for the POFQ. I hope the crowds stay this low for our long weekend trip.

Dessert party needed reservations, no walk up space

The bounceback offer is the book for next year while you are here. It was a free dining offer for 8/15 to 9/15/2010.

DHS on Thurs 9/2 was also 15 min wait on everything. TSM was having technicaly difficulties thru the day.

Today 9/4 -we went to AK. CM said attendance at 13K, 20K is considered busy.
Dinosaur was closed this morning and opened late. 5-10 min on everything else. EE really is awesome. Our 4 1/2 year went on for the first time- loved it said his legs felt wiggly after the ride.

Buses are empty going to/from the parks.

That's disconcerting! I heard that a few weeks ago free dining bounceback was offered through the end of September, 2010. We were hoping to book it a week later because some friends booked it a week later with no problems... hmm. May have to change our plans a bit I guess if that's what we get next weekend.

Correction, I rechecked my flyer 9/30/2010..
I had light saber in my face while posting

That's a wonderful first day - have a great time.

I hope it's that quiet on the 12th when we arrive!

 

[BabyPiglet]

The crowds sounds WONDERFUL! We leave tomorrow, and I can't wait to hit the parks!

 

[Traveliz]

My daughter works at Soarin and she said this morning the wait time at 11 was 25 minutes - she said it was very slow.

We are here too. We were at MK yesterday and at DS today. We have had no problems riding anything. This is our first Labor Day and DH was very nervous. I hope it stays this way through the weekend.

 

[ppan77]

That's great for a holiday weekend! Have a great trip!

 

[kimnvbva]

Keep us informed! It sounds like you lucked out! Hopefully we'll have some pixie dust when we go in 16 days!!

 

[mollygirl13]

Sounds great. I've been hopelessly trying for the Wishes Dessert Party for 9/19 with no luck!

We leave on the 13th out of Philly, can't wait!!!
