*~*NEW October 2013 Thread*~* Our Month Has Arrived!

Illuminations? How? I'm trying to get Illuminations for either 10/21 or 10/23, but it won't come up? Did you go to the FP+ route first on MDE, or through the Nighttime Spectaculars? TIA!

I've heard Illuminations FP+ is only for weekends.

I've heard Illuminations FP+ is only for weekends.

Ahhh... makes sense. I am almost wondering if they might even cancel it for 10/21. Something I saw the other day made me wonder about that. Hopefully not, that's the day we want to watch it.

I went though the FP+ link on MDE. I got Illuminations for Friday 10/18. Good luck!

Unfortunately, our visit starts on Oct 26 and ends on Nov 9. With the exception of the day we arrive, there is nothing for fireworks at the magic kingdom and epcot or parades at AK and MK on fastpass+ for the time we will be there. At least I couldn't find any...

Wow, I guess they are sending the Mickey Mail out later than they used to if you are just getting it at 3.5 weeks out. I thought they always did it at 40 days.

I had a TA. It's been a little torturous waiting for it. Everybody else here around my check in date was getting theirs.

Its actually a few days earlier then expected. TA said that it would come closer to 2 weeks out. Glad its here though!

 

[daizieduck]

Yup. Same here. 32 days out and nothing yet. Unless it came today. Will find out when I get home from work. I booked direct with Disney.

Oh wow, MK is now open until 1am on 10/26 (and also the prior Saturday). I also noticed extended hours for AK while putting together our plan for that day too. Guess they are anticipating heavier crowds then? Thanks!

 

[daizieduck]

We arrive 10/18 and got our Mickey Mail and ME tags today!
