Last Week of Sept Gang! 119 DISers so far! Whew!

[sconnell]

Awe... Where are you looking for times? I'd go with the wdw official site. It may change before you get there anyway. Any particular reason you didn't get the hopper option? It's only a few dollars a day more and it saves lots of stress for me.
If you find that you need to make a change, keep trying. Something may open up. More people my decide that they want to be somewhere else and open up a time you want. We've got plenty of time. If it doesn't change, you'll be suprised at how great it can be on those mornings that you don't rush to be at park opening! (But only those who normally do can fully appreciate the mornings that you don't! )

And they are okay with that?

Yep, they're okay with it. One will be 18 by that time; he has a new puppy and doesn't want to leave him for any vacation at this point.

The other one is 17 and will be staying at his father's house because as he readily admits "I'm not responsible enough to be left here."

They have also been several times, overall they're good boys and feel that they're grades would suffer if they took off for a week.

"Awe... Where are you looking for times? I'd go with the wdw official site."
Well..I'ce checked the WDW site to see which park opens early which days. Then tourguides.com has different recommendations!! I'm just not sure what to believe! I think we'll just go on our own flow and leave it at that.

"Any particular reason you didn't get the hopper option? It's only a few dollars a day more and it saves lots of stress for me." He didn't really want to spend the extra money on it so we didn't get it. I think we may wish we had it once we're there, maybe not. We're planning to hit the park, take a break for naps/swim then go back at all parks except for AK since it will close at 5pm anyways.

"If you find that you need to make a change, keep trying. Something may open up. More people my decide that they want to be somewhere else and open up a time you want. We've got plenty of time. If it doesn't change, you'll be suprised at how great it can be on those mornings that you don't rush to be at park opening! (But only those who normally do can fully appreciate the mornings that you don't! " Right now, I don't think I'm going to make any changes...we'll just go with it, enter the parks a little later...it's not like we're going at the height of the season when it's most crowded. And this way we won't be rushed to make an ADR too early one morning OR have to leave a park~~which the kids may hate at the moment. LOL
Our ADR's are:

9/24: Crystal Palace 2:30 (thinking I'm going to cancel this one, most likely we'll visit MGM on Sunday when we arrive)
9/25: 1900 Park Fare at 5:50
9/26: Ohana's character breakfast at 9:00am
9/27: Chef Mickey's breakfast at 8:50am
9/28: we have Tony's at 1:05 AND Whispering Canyon Cafe at 1:30...will most likely cancel Tony's

So I guess I need one more TS if I cancel Crystal palace...which I would still like to visit BUT don't know which day we'll be IN MK!

 

[sconnell]

We'll be there! Sept. 28-Oct.7, with a group of 16!!! 1/2 staying at ASMo, 1/2 at CSR. Here are our ADR's:

Hey girl! I've been waiting for you over here!

 

[eeyore45]

Jrasmom - I think I'm in the same boat!! I cant believe Disney added more early emh "magical beginnings" it totally screwed my plans on eating at the castle, entering in before the masses....

*sigh

and just try and change an adr for this last week of Sept!!

I'm thinking of dropping the WCC because I wasnt going for food, but the fun atmosphere - that has changed, too many complained of the noise level, so they no longer get everyone "going gung ho" I guess there still are pony races!! arrrrgggg!!

We're doing split stays, starting at Pop Sept 23, then BWV, then ending at Wilderness Lodge, all for our 25th anniversary, and we're bringing DD9 along, she'll stay one night at Kids Club so DH and I can enjoy a Party of the Senses that Saturday!! (fingers crossed it all works out!!)

 

[ExPirateShopGirl]

Count us officially IN!

Sept 29 to October 8 at Pop!

I wasn't even home 4 days and had the uncontrollable urge to book another trip! I loved the weather last fall, and I would love to do F&W again and the kids can't wait to do MNSSHP again.

 

[pdxfamily]

We are going September 23- October 1.. Staying at POFQ
DH, DD (4) and me!

I am soooo worried about the hurricanes though!!!

 

[Red Wings Fan]

Just made the airline reservations this morning (I can finally stop watching the web sites and get back to work ), so I guess the official word is WL Sept 29 - Oct 6....

 

[jrasmom]

I am soooo worried about the hurricanes though!!!

For some odd reason... THAT is the only thing I'm not worried about!

 

[Littlemotherhaywood]

I decided not to do Ohana. We have two character meals planned and that should be plenty.

23 - Boma - dinner at 6:30
24 - Chef Mickeys - dinner at 7:50 not my ideal time but that's what I get for waiting I guess
25 - Crystal Palace - lunch at 1:00 just what I wanted
26 - Coral Reef - lunch at 11:30 (this is still wide open too as far as ressies go if you're looking) and Biergarten - dinner at 6:30
27 - Cap'n Jack's - dinner at 6:30 - they are now taking ressies here, YEAH!!!
28 - Mama Melrose Fantasmic package - 3:40 UGH
29 - nothing yet

I am cancelling Crystal Palace, and we'll still have 3 character experiences. Gotta keep them all happy . I am also canceling out Tony's and keeping WCC.

Now...I've got to go see what we'd eat at MGM (for Sunday, the 24th).......I'd love to eat at 50's BUT my kids would not take well to the cm's and their 'behavior' so we're not going there. I'm thinking Sci-Fi for a late lunch, gotta go read their menu and then try to get in.

Hey, pdxfamily, if pdx means what I think it means, maybe we'll see you at the airport!

 

[tacomaranch]

All I have so far is POFQ from Sept 27 to Oct 2nd. Sorry, just can't pull my head out of my hinny and figure out which parks are open late, where to eat, when, etc.

All and any help is glady accepted!

Hey, for those of you who are changing ADR's because of EHM changing, where are you getting the EMH times from? I'm looking at the EMH calendar on the official Disney site and it's the same as when I worked everything out! ARGH! I'm getting nervous!

ETA: Sorry I haven't updated. I've been out of town and I think I can do it later tonight while I'm working on laundry!

I didn't change ours because of any EHM change...we just changed our minds.

BUT if those hours change that may change what we hit which day...who is changing because of hours changes?
