What are your dates? We will be there for a weekend in Sept. Such great deals between the free dining and the 40% of deluxe. It drew us back for MNSSHP. Will you be going to the halloween party? Good luck with your ADRs I know they are booking up fast!

 

[Micca]

Awesome! Congratulations

We will be there September 12th -19th . I have not thought about the Halloween Party. It's a little pricey for my budget and I dont think the kids will get that much enjoyment out of it at thier ages right now. It will also be very hot so at that point we will probaly be in the pool or in the room watching tv/resting up for the next day . Ill think about it though I dont want to miss out on a good thing!

 

[Fall1]

Yay! Congrats! You will LOVE SAB!!!!

 

[aceys_h0ney]

Neat we will be there the 17th-19th. It will be my youngest 3rd Bday. My husband loves the idea of MNSSHP so he was the one that actually suggested the trip which shocked me. Anyway have a great time, maybe we will bump into you!

 

[DisneyMama409]

The deluxe resorts are a whole lot more affordable during September/October with the pin offered! I remember looking at the prices for May with the pins and saying holy crap that's expensive NO THANK YOU...But i just looked at the prices for my dates and its definetly affordable if you're doing a split stay! I believe AKL is also cheaper than Beach Club! I chose beach club because of SAB . I want the water park experience without having to aboard a bus and deal with crowds etc.

 

[DisneyMama409]

I have my fingers and toes crossed that this will be an EXCELLENT trip from begining to end.I can finally do Disney right !

Good for you. But I'm sorry to tell you, you will get hooked on the Beach club!!! It's great!!

But is your ticker wrong? I'll be there the same week & I don't think our count downs match. We're at PO Riverside 12-15, then Yacht Club 15-18. See you at Stormalong Bay ....

From my signature, we did an upgrade to Carribean. We enjoyed the Moderate so much more than the values, that we bought DVC. Then, I thought, fiscal responsibility, only 1 trip a year. Then, we did an add-on and now it's two trips a year. If you can do it, then congrats.

We tried MNSSHP last year for first time and wished we had done it sooner. Our dds are 8,5. To offset the money, we did not do a theme park the day of the party or the day after, so actually we did not spend as much money. And, as for the heat, it is so much cooler in the evening. We enjoyed the morning at the resort (swim), then everyone took a nap, we hit the party at 4:00, ate dinner, and then stayed through midnight. Everyone slept late the next day, and once the sun started setting, it was a lot cooler than MK during the day.

Ok now that sounds like a good plan!! I really want to relax on this trip! This is why Im not making rope drop a priority or staying at a park all day until closing. I did this on my prior trip and my feet were killing me and I was exhausted! This is why its probaly going to take me atleast a week to plan my adr's and touring plan ! I dont want to be exhausted and miserable I have to plan plenty of breaks. Ill make rope drop for MK though DEFINETLY!! Ill tour Epcot at a much more leisurely pace maybe be there for rope drop....eat leave ...than come back at night. Im so excited I want to have a totally diffrent trip experience than from my last trip

I'll pray for you not to get hooked on the BC, but it WILL be tough . BC is our all time favorite deluxe resort (even though we have only stayed there once, but cannot wait to go back in May 2011). SAB is awesome so is B&C, being in walking distance to Epcot and a boat ride away from DHS is also awesome. Also, make sure you book Cape May Cafe Breakfast, it is one of our favorite character meals...it has Minnie, Goofy, and Donald all in their swimwear . Yep, I think you will most definitely be getting the resort bug . If I were you, I would go to Pop first then move over to BC, mind as well end your trip with a bang. Anyway, congrats on your booking. We too will be there in September, staying at POR (9th-16th). Have fun.

I'm going to move this to our happy dance board. Have fun planning.

Oh I stayed at Beach Club for 2 nights my last trip 2 weeks ago as a split stay. YOU WILL LOVE IT, its incredible and you will be hooked, BUT if you go offseason you can afford it.
Also, you mentioned a few posts ago, you booked club level there? If I can suggest it really isnt worth the extra money especially if you said your kids are eating free. If you change it to regular water view or standard view you will have your extra money for MNSSHP. Do the Halloween party, it's my next thing to try to do . Ive gone 100 plus times and can never get time off to do it but soon I will find a way! lol...
And without your brother and mom there, you will have an incredible time! I was a divorced mom of 2 boys and the three of us have had many happy memories there over their childhood. They are grown now but remember it well.
Have a great trip.....

Wow, how do you afford club level Disney vacations on food stamps? It sounds like you stretch every dollar till it squeaks. I could use some tips.
