We are also arriving that weekend, 23rd, also CBR. Thanks for all the tips on BOG. Hoping to have lunch one of our 2 MK daysPraying for 2 things. .1. That none of us get the norovirus (winter vomiting bug) as people are dropping like flies around us! 2. That this "pipeline of storms" that accuweather predicts for the East coast, until end of Feb, doesn't interfere with our flight out!!
. Check out accuweather.com. There is a story on the weather pattern and how its likely we will have several more large storm events. Having anxiety attacks too!! Thanks for the good thoughts y'all!!pigletto said:ACK.. what pipeline of storms?
I was hoping with the one we just had it would increase the odds of not seeing another for awhile. Wishful thinking I guess.
It appears if I am not travelling in snow storm season then I travel in peak hurricane season. Just call me an Extreme Dis'er
OMG today is the day...gotta run to Wally World and get last minute things this morning, pretty much all packed up, except the cooler...so when the kids get home from school today we'll be driving our way down to some magic!
Can't wait to see DS's face when he realizes we're staying a few days at ASsp!!
Looked again at accuweather and weather.com, chances of rain have went down some and temps up a bit, so hoping for a good trip!
Have a great day everyone, will try and post before we head out, DD is bringing her labtop so I can try and post a few notes while we're there!
We had to do that the last time we went b/c we booked it only 8 days in advance and there wasn't enough time to mail it to us. I just don't want to make to much hassle for Disney, we just want to get there sooner Any thoughts?

I've been thinking about changing our arrival day from Feb. 25 to the 24th. We already have plans and adr's for the 25th in DTD and I won't change those. But I'm thinking if we arrive a day early, we could use that day to check out CBR and rest after our drive down there. Then on the 25th we could sleep in, do some mini-golf during the day and then DTD and the plans we already have set. What do you all think?
I've already recieved our mickey mail with the vouchers, etc. But if I change the check in day, we'll need a new packet of vouchers, etc. I assume we would have to pick up the new packet with the new check in day upon arrival
I know that the weather can change daily, but I have to admit all the clouds and rain in the extended forecast are freaking me out. I really need some sunshine.
Hope it passes soon
Wood Nymph said:We just got back yesterday. Our waiter yesterday morning told us that it was much more crowded than normal for this time of year. That was why Disney extended the park hours and added some more events. It seemed like it was always really crowded at MK, even when we went on the days that were supposed to be low crowd days. Epcot's World Showcase never seemed crowded, except for lines for the Maelstrom. Future World only had lines for Soarin' and Test Track. We walked on plenty of rides.
The parks that had extra magic mornings were crazy. We were glad that we got fast passes for the Safari. That ride had a very long line by 10 am. We got plenty of dirty looks as we zoomed by everyone in the stand by line, too. But the Dinosaur ride at AK was a walk on.
Friday night we went into MK after the Wishes fireworks was over and were able to walk on Jungle Cruise. People clear out after Wishes, so if there is a late night, that is a good time to go.
I'm beginning to think that the fast pass plus system might be a good thing. There were plenty of things we never did, like TSM, because the lines were always too long. For example, we got to Epcot 12 minutes after rope drop on Sunday and the line for Test Track was already over 30 minutes long. It took us almost an hour to get through that ride. When we went to Epcot on Thursday morning at rope drop we were able to walk right on Test Track.
The first time we noticed any crowds at our resort was on Saturday morning, when the line was out the door for breakfast at the food court. Prior to that the resort didn't look very full.
We had great weather. Any rain storms in the area all went north of WDW.
I hope everyone who is still waiting for their trip gets great weather and low crowds.
We got home Sunday night after an extended stay in the world due to the blizzard. We, too, were surprised by the crowds. We have never traveled in early February before and I was really looking forward to low crowds but was so disappointed! We are rope drop tourers so we were able to get quite a bit done early on but by mid morning wait times and crowds were much larger than expected! Thank goodness the kids were just as happy to swim in the afternoons!
When we checked out of POR the registration line for folks checking in was outside the lobby doors almost in to fultons general store!
That said, we still had an amazing trip and perfect weather. Dining plan was way too much food for us, as kids preferred to eat cereal or oatmeal in the room for breakfast. If we do it again I'll definitely try to plan all our credits better. We had 9 snacks, 7 quick service and 4 table service all remaining on the last day...it was awful to"waste" them especially considering we had to stay two additional nights and they wouldn't extend our dining plan or let us book dining plan for our additional days
I hope you all awaiting your trips have a magical time!!

No storms !! Let's all pray hard !!!!!
