I am so slap happy, I just booked POR for Aug 30-Sep 1 for a quick mother-daughter getaway weekend. I am so excited :goodvibes :yay: I am bouncing up and down in my chair.

I got a great AP rate and I couldn't pass it up. We were booked in Destin, but I just have to go to Disney and I saved more than 50% of what we were spending in Destin. I would have been so bored at Destin, but not at Disney.

Have a wonderful time. POR is a fabulous resort, if the parks are crowded, you can hang out at the pool, go over to DTD and still have a ball.
 
I don't care if the parks are crowded, I am going to WDW, again. We will probably only go to MK anyway and we go early, then swim/rest, then go back at night. EMH is until 3am, so I am really excited about that :thumbsup2 This is a quick take a break leisurely getaway that is much needed.

I love those late EMH's at the MK. And I am like you, if its crowded, who cares, I am at WDW!
 
I agree, especially with the EMH's!! That's why we often go in the summer ::yes:: And we never do DDP and few TS's - so ADR's are not important to us. :)

Sounds like a perfect trip!!
 
Congrats!! LOVE POR!! Rent a boat and putter around the lake by DTD!!
 
I just booked breakfast at Crystal Palace so I can get in the park early, too. That will be the only ADR we will make, we will just play it by ear for the rest of the weekend.

I couldn't see me and mom on any kind of boat, maybe me and DH, but he isn't coming with us.

We did the same thing for our upcoming visit!! :thumbsup2
 
I am hoping for a cancellation at 1900 Park Fare, but with my luck there won't be one. I tried before our June trip and couldn't get in, but I do have one in December for a breakfast and dinner, so I guess I will have to wait.

We're holding out a little hope for a cancellation for Cape May Character breakfast, but it's not looking good. We'll keep trying ~ our best shot may be a walk up the morning we leave. At least it's nearby (we're at YC).

Good luck with 1900 Park Fare!!
 
We will be at WDW from Aug 28th thru Sept. 1st to celebrate our DD 4th birthday and so I can get in 2 fantasy football drafts:goodvibes We live 20 minutes west of Destin, so your tourist money will be missed:laughing: Have a great time.
 
We'll be at POR... I am counting down the days :)
 
We'll be there Sept 5th-9th. I couldn't imagine going without the dining plan. You save a small fortune!! And we booked the free dining during that time...probably like everyone else.

Has anyone heard how crowds are in early September after labor day? Disney says it's a slow time, but that's never a good measure. Jan was nuts this year!!

I say keep trying, you never know what will happen. I am going to for 1900 Park Fare, but I won't be too disappointed since being at CP, I will get in before park opening and be finished by park opening. We have one of the first time slots that morning, couldn't be any better than that, except maybe Park Fare :thumbsup2

Well, actually we probably wouldn't have dropped much money at Destin, mom doesn't get around too well, so we probably would have hung out at the resort and I would have been bored, so I talked her into WDW, so I can even go out and leave her without worry ;)

We'll be at POR... I am counting down the days :)

Me, too, It can't get here fast enough. Although I was just there June 7-10 :rolleyes1


You're going to have the best time at POR!!! Its such a beautiful resort :love:

I am really excited, we have visited the main area, but never stayed at a moderate before. It will also give us a chance to preview for our trip in December where I am hoping to be at POFQ, POR is my second choice.

We are staying at POR in November, can't wait!!!! :cool1:

I am hoping to be at POFQ in December, just waiting for the AAA Disney rep to let me know something, I am on pins and needles :yay:

It isn't very cost effective for us to do the dining plan for only a few days, especially for me and mom. We will have the big breakfast at CP or Park Fare and then mostly share our other meals. I got a better deal with the AP rate than free dining and didn't know we were going on a trip until it was too late to book.

Last year DH and I were there the weekend before and the crowds were non-existant. I know it is labor day weekend, but I expect most to be locals, because most schools will start back on Tuesday. I wouldn't worry too much. In fact our schools start back as early as Aug 2 and Aug 4th.

This is going to be a leisurely trip, so I am not going to worry. As I said in an earlier post, we hit the park early 8am this time, and will be back at the resort around lunch time, swim, explore, nap, then go back about 5 so we can last until 3 am (probably won't, but we have before)
