*** New Official February 2013 Thread ***

[goldnvalli]

We at staying at POR, Feb. 17th- 24th. We are looking forward to a great week. We got a five day pass and we don't plan on hopping. Our ADR date is next week. Any suggestions for all parks would be appreciated. We are definitely doing dinner at the castle one day. What time do you think would be best for dinner. I would love to have everything planned out, but I'm horrible at planning.

So we went ahead and booked our Feb trip with the military discount. Staying at CSR )which we LOVE! ) Feb 9-16
Got most of my ADRS also
9th Ohana dinner
10th Crystal Palace breakfast
Liberty Tree Tavern (But changing to Be Our Guest!)
11th 50's Prime Time Cafe
12th Tusker House lunch (if it will ever open up)
13th Akershus dinner
14th Whispering Canyon dinner
15th Tutto Italia dinner

Really hoping for free dining since we are getting APs on this trip!

Just made all of our ADRs! Got everything we wanted except Tusker House which is apparently not open for reservations for Feb yet.

2/10 5pm Garden Grill
2/11 8am H&V
2/12 (hoping for Tusker House for breakfast) 5pm The Wave
2/13 8:05am CRT 5pm Ohana
2/14 (Seaworld day-no reservations)
2/15 5:45pm Kona

Ahhh, this BOG stuff is making me nuts. I am now thinking about canceling The Wave reservation and swapping it with Ohana (just checked can get a res. for the same time ) and then trying for BOG for dinner on the 13th instead. I never did try again for Tusker House. I should do that now. lol

We will also be at CSR those same dates. We've never stayed at CSR so I'm glad to hear you love it. We tried for POR but were told all the military discounted rooms were filled already.

I started adding everyone's ADR's to the ADR list on the first page of this thread. If anyone else already made theirs, just post it and I will add it to the list so we can compare ADR's!

Hi Jannel,
You have my ADR's added to the list but not my resort and dates.
We will be at Pop from 2/3 - 2/9.
Thanks for all your hard work on this thread!

Have a magical day!

[waltslostnephew]

Just wondering, those of you who have been, what are the crowds like 1st or second weekend of Feb. ? Thanks.

 

[vacationer1954]

Having visited almost all times of the year, we keep coming back to early February (we're arriving during the second weekend in February 2013), mostly because it is so cold where we live that time of year but also because it is relative uncrowded. I think the crowds are lower in early January but not by much. But there are still crowds in early February. There are always some crowds.

 

[PrincessHanasMom]

Is anyone else having trouble booking Tusker House for February? The CM told me that the system shows availability but will not let her book. (Consistent with problem my TA had, so I do not think it was just a clueless CM.). I'm trying to book for the week of the 18th.

It's our first time at Pop, at first I wasn't sure we've never stayed at a value but after checking the Pop thread here I'm getting very excited! Plus with the CM discount the price was right!!

BTW, I just booked BOG for 2/5!!
I cancled 1900 Park Fare.

We love CSR! We have always stayed in the cabana section because we love access to the hammocks on the beach. The pool is great! Hopefully it will be warm enough to use it. YOu never know how the weather will be in February. Last year it was hot!
There is a playground next to the main pool that my kids like also.
The Pepper Market food court is fabulous also. We have always enjoyed the food. It does take a little longer in here because of the different "island" set-up to get food but we have always enjoyed it.
I hope you like it as much as us!

Add BOG at 5:30 on the 18th to my list!!
