Greetings Foolish Mortals! The time has finally come for a trip to WDW for MNSSHP! I am super duper excited as Halloween and fall is one of my favorite times of year! DH and I visited last year for Christmas time (my other favorite time of year) and MVMCP. It was amazing to say the least! Holiday fun all around, special shows and treats, and lets not forget the Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade! :-) I cannot wait for what is in store for us in October!

For those who have not read my other PTR yet, my name is Dawn! I love all things Disney and I really enjoy trip planning. I am even going back to school for tourism so that I can eventually become a Disney Vacation Planner. When you find something you love to do, it is ideal to make that your job/career. So we will see what the next chapter of life brings.

And here I am!



I have been to Disney a total of 6 times...and boy do I wish it was more! My favorite Disney things include Donald Duck, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Space Mountain, Expedition Everest, Celebrate the Magic and Wishes!, Be Our Guest restaurant, The idea of pin trading (although I have never taken part, but I think I will try this trip), The giant cinnamon buns (now located at Gaston's Tavern) Exploring other resorts, and trying new places to dine.

My DH, Dan, is my trip buddy. Our trip last year was in December and was our honeymoon. We enjoyed 3 Nights aboard the Disney Dream and then came back to the parks for some Holiday fun. I had approached him about this trip idea in January. At first, he did not think this trip was such a good idea since we had just been and spent quite a bit of money. So I ran numbers, made up a savings plan, and then he was on board!! :goofy:

Here is the DH and I enjoying the Pirate Night festivities on the Disney Dream! So much fun!



DH's Disney favorites include Goofy, Buzz Lightyear, would love to stay at Fort Wilderness, Space Ranger Spin, Expedition Everest, Toy Story Mania, Toy Story, and The Monorail.

Next post will be trip plans and ADRs! WOO!




 
hello! I am in WNY too and going in October. Maybe we'll overlap! Looking forward to more!
 

Joining in. We are going for our Honeymoon, Oct. 25-29!

Aww yay!! We honeymooned last December and it is such a fun place for a honeymoon! Make sure to get your "Just Married" buttons! Sooooo much free dessert coming your way!

Joining along! Our trips will overlap as I'm there Oct 1st to 11th!

Thanks for joining in! Yay! Are you going to MNSSHP?

joining in! We hope to make it to MNSSHP in the next couple of years!

Welcome! This is my first time going to MNSSHP and I cannot wait! Especially after the announcement of adding the Sanderson sisters to the new show! Just did MVMCP for the first time last year and that was amazing!
 
Since I started this PTR a little late, and I had already planned out most everything because let's face it, I do not waste any time! :mickeyjum

We started with the "who's" of the trip, let's focus on the "where's"!!

Where: Art of Animation Resort - Little Mermaid room!!! I was so excited because we wanted to stay there for our honeymoon in Dec. of 2014, but upon booking they were unavailable! Total bummer. But we shall make up for it this year!
When: October 3 - 9. We have 7-day park hopper passes and the quick-service dining plan (our first time trying a dining plan).
ADR's: Monday Oct. 5th: Kona Cafe @ 9:25 AM
Wednesday Oct. 7th: Be Our Guest @ 12:20pm for lunch and Whispering Canyon Cafe @ 7:30pm for dinner.
Friday Oct. 9th: Trail's End @ 9:25am for breakfast
Special Event: MNSSHP on Thursday Oct. 8th!!!



Have a magical day!!!
:donald:

Joining in! I'm headed to WDW next April for a solo trip, but before then will be DL and a cruise on the Fantasy! Re: your dining plans, one of the only ADR's I plan on booking for my trip is Kona Cafe. Never been before and dying to try the Tonga Toast :D.

Thanks for joining in! Oh a solo journey! I really want to do a solo trip, I look forward to hearing about it if you do a TR! And the very reason I booked Kona Cafe is to try the Tonga Toast! Ahh!! I am so excited for it! The cruise we went on was awesome! :goofy:
 
We aren't planning on doing MNSSHP this trip as we did it last year. We'll probably end up at Halloween Horror Nights though this year depending on the houses they are doing.

Glad you are going to be able to stay at the resort you want! Kona is such a great breakfast spot!

I am SO EXCITED about the cruise - it will be my first ever! I have a PTR going if you want to check it out. I'll be covering my plans for all three trips (although mostly WDW).

Hello all! I am almost at the 100 day mark!! :cool1: 103 days away! Waiting is so very hard when you have almost everything planned out. We do not make FP+ selections until August 4th, and that is when we will be in the Outer Banks, NC. I will have lap top in tow and get myself up for a sunrise and FP+! Can't get any better than that right? We also have my brother - in - law and sister - in - law trying to decide if they would like to join us. They just went in May for a long weekend getaway for my DBILs birthday present from DSIL. They went for the opening of SWW and felt that they would have like to have more time. The only thing is, DSIL is a teacher so it may be difficult to get away in October.

Sooo....without further adieu...I give you....THE DAYYY ONEEEE ITINERARYYYYYY!! :mickeyjum

DH and I fly out of Buffalo, NY on Saturday, October, 3rd at 7:55AM. It is never to early to fly to Orlando when you are going to WDW! The flight is direct which should get us to MCO in a short 2 hour and 40 minute flight. We are schedule to arrive at 10:35AM. A perfect time! Oh...and we are flying.....



After arrival at MCO and picking up luggage, we will check in at the.....



Thank you Mickey! and thank you GOOGLE!

We will then head on the very, very, Magical Express to have our first stay at...



We will be staying in The Little Mermaid rooms! Super excited! After checking in, our room probably won't be ready yet, so we will probably store our bags with the resort and explore for a little while, maybe grab a bite to eat, and then wither we have our room assignment our not, head on over to...



Ahhh, yes...a trip to WDW does not feel like it has truly started until I see the magnificent Cinderella Castle! :tinker: We will probably stay at MK for the afternoon and after dinner head over to HS because they have late EMH that night. Of course after that, we will head back to AoA and pass out...until the next fun filled day at WDW!

In other news...trip prep. has been going super well thanks to Hot Topic. I have recently discovered their collection of Disney tank tops and I purchased quite a bit, and there is more on the way from the web site.


I will post a picture of the others once they come in, I believe I have about 3 or 4 more coming. Yes...I may be 27 years old, but I am not afraid to rock a cute Disney tank on a regular basis, even at home! :rotfl:

If I do not come back to do another update, enjoy the weekend! I was so ready for the weekend after this week at work. Ugh! Hoping for some beautiful weather and sunshine!
See ya real soon! :mickeyjum
 
I love how Hot Topics has so much Disney tank tops! I get some running shirts there from time to time.
 
I am planning on being at WDW Oct. 4-9th and doing MNSSHP on tuesday the 6th. Its going to be a surprise trip for my girls, hopefully I can keep the secret! We have been to WDW once before and on our first cruise this past may, the Dream!
 
Hello everyone! Hope you have all been well. Summer is almost here and my countdown is getting lower...which makes me extremely happy! :jumping1:
We are 93 days away!!! UNDER 100 DAYS!!! :cool1:

I last left off with our Saturday, October, 3rd plans. Our Arrival Day! Now for a glorious first full day in the World plans! Sunday, October, 4th. We will be going to wake up early for breakfast...because there is not sleeping when you are in WDW! :D
After a lovely breakfast at Landscape of Flavors, We will be boarding a lovely Disney bus to talk a walk on the wild side at...



We will get there when it opens at 9AM and stay there for the morning and the better part of the afternoon. We have no ADR's for this day, so we will be eating on the fly. I really like Pizzafari because...DISNEY PIZZA!! :thumbsup2 But we will see what we feel like.

For the evening, we will be going to jump into the movies, aboard a crazy fast super stretch limo, explore a galaxy far far away, and plunge 13 stories in a cursed elevator at...



Minus the hat of course...which I am not too broken up about being taken down. It was a beautiful park icon, but was not really what the park was all about. HS has EMH this night so we will be speeding, and dropping all night long...well...until they close at 9:30PM

This will be a somewhat early night for us, with HS closing at 9:30, so we may get a chance to take a dip in the pool for a little while. A nice quite swim would be nice!

In real life news...Hot Topic took more of my money...



They are just too cute to pass up! Along with these lovely additions to my wardrobe, I may be trying my hand at DisneyBounding! :cool2:

Until next update...Have a Magical Day!! :mickeyjum

Hello there! :wave: Aww...a surprise trip...that sounds so amazing! I loved the Dream, not that I have much to compare it to by way of cruises, but we had a wonderful time! It is fun to see so many first week of October trips. :D
