Labor Day Weekend Partiers!!!!

[canwegosoon]

We were in Disney last August and while the temp there was HOT when we arrived - it was HOT in NJ too. Three days into the trip it was scorching mid 90's in NY and it was 70 in Orlando - lasted 3 days, we couldnt even enjoy the pool at night - we were FREEZING - had to soak our tushies in the Hot Tub! My boy who loves cold water even gave up and jumped into the spa to warm up.

I have 4 weather thingys set up on my MSN home page - North Jersey, South Jersey, Orlando and St. Pete.... interesting during the summer months that there really isn't a big gap. Sometimes they are cooler. Also there is only a 1 degree average temp change between August and Sept in Orlando.

It is only the Hurricanes you need to worry about... free dining only means they charge you 100k for the life vest and boats

Enjoy!

As a NY'er who can't take the heat I figure the at last day of August will be the same as the rest of September. I think it does start to cool off as hurricaine season brings the cool Alantic breezes. But thank you for posting your experiences.

Love this list canwegosoon. Are you planning a meet?

I made the correction....thanks!
As far as a meet....I don't know I haven really thought about it. Do people want a meet? I like knowing who I might be running into(I am on the watch for other dissers if I know someone is at the same hotel)

Do we want to post itineries-parks, and be on the look out for others at a fireworks show or other time? Let me know!

[wheelerkidz3]

Hi fellow New York Diser!

I and my Ds'13&5. Will be at the world August 27th-Sept5th. At the Pop I cannot wait!!

another ny'er here!! dh and i just booked for labor day on a whim today! we usually have to plan for a year before we head to WDW, but we will be leaving in 7 weeks!! YIKES!!! we are sooo excited! we'll be staying at all star music family suites. it was the only thing opened in our price range for that time. we've never been in one of the suites? hoping that they are nice!!

 

[canwegosoon]

Friendly reminder....45 days balance is approaching quick-Mine is wed I think. I am so looking foward to another trip!!!! 6 1/2 weeks to go!!!!

 

[DisneyBride'03]

TIme is flying by
SO, I am a DVC wanna be canwegosoon....why arent ya staying...oh duh, never find..Poly...resort...= free dining!!!
Love the Poly...took my DD10 to the zoo the other day...they have a special attraction..Stingray Bay..and right next to it was this cute little Trade WInds bar/restaurant they set up for the exhibit...
Anyway..I am looking at the menu for adult beverages.....LAVA FLOW!!!

No one else would appreciate this unless they are a Poly Lover!!!
Needless to say I had one...not the same as as the Poly..but a nice little fix

 

[canwegosoon]

I cant stay DVC for this trip only because I am soooooooo out of points it isn't funny. We are going in March 08 and I need 3 stuidos for Easter week...so I am into points for 09(and I just did an add on too)

The only bad thing about DVC is you are always staying DVC...and I have never stayed at the Poly...so DH has been having a tough time at work and really needs to take time off, so I scheduled a little break. We got great flights 4 rt ns tickets from NY for 630, already have AP's so I will apply the tickets to a future trip, and the free dining...how could I loose I wanted the YC but at Christmas one of my sons fell in love with the Poly...and we stay at the BC all the time(once a year)

I hope you have a great time at the YC

 

[DisneyBride'03]

Totally understand the DVC thing...we are currently looking for a small resale..so that we can add on smaller contracts at other resorts....We just want to find the right one, that has some pts and isnt stripped and has a UY that is condusive to when we vacation....
Love the Poly

WOW 3 studios at Easter...goodbye DVC pts...lol...but isnt that great to be able to do that????
Hopefully it wont be TOO hot and crowds wont be to bad...

Then I wish you luck...it will happen, you can usually get a small contract with the right YU, and then once you get your first add-on you can resell your origional purchase. We did 170 pts at SSR and just added 56 at BWV. I am hoping for Contemporary Villias for my final add on.

Heading to the Poly for Labor Day too!! We will be there from 8/30-9/6 and would love to meet up with some fellow DISers. We were there last year at the same time and had a blast. The parks were not very crowded and we just loved staying at the Poly so much that I wouldnt dream of booking anywhere else. Yes, it was hot but we knew it would be and planned accordingly. We hit the parks early and came back to the pool by 2:30 to cool off and relax before heading back out for dinner and more fun.
Our family pic is at the bottom of my post, if you see us at the pool please say HI!!!

 

[dmthoma76]

We will be at Pop 9/1 to 9/8, Chef Mickey's at 5pm and P/P party on Labor Day!

Other plans, Kona, O'Hana, Sci-Fi, Coral Reef, and Le Cellier (first time eating at LeCellier!) can't wait!

We went last September, just myself and my seven year old son. Things we want to do that we DID NOT last year. Never made it to downtown disney, never went to Tom Sawyer Island, missed Indiana Jones show, one day at MGM was not enough have to go back. My 7 year old did TOT twice by himself and LOVED it. Too short for RNR. Funny other people in line worried about him going alone on TOT but he wasn't worried at all...
He also talks about going on EE a LOT!

So much to do and we did a lot in 5 days, this time we are going 7 days! Can't wait!

another New Yorker here!! (well, sorta, I moved to NY two years ago).... We will be at POFQ from 08/30 - 09/03!!! We're getting married at Sea Breeze Point at 10 am on 09/01 so if you're in the area come by and watch the wedding!

We didn't make too many advanced reservations for dining but we are eating at the following for sure:

Hoop De Doo on the night we arrive 08/30
Ohana for our wedding dinner on 09/01
Boma on 09/02

anyone have any suggestions as to what I should order at Boma? or is it a buffet style restaurant? I know nothing about it!!! I Hope everyone has a great time at "The World" while you're there!!! I know I will!!
