Another sleepless night for me. I've had a month long run of insomnia. I know it's due to my illness and all the meds I'm on. I'm praying every night for sleep to come. Oh well, the good thing is we only have 18 days to go!! =)

DH & I will also be celebrating Valentine's Day with dinner at AP. ... Our ADR is 5:45 pm.

We'll see you there. Our ADR is 5:55 pm.

We'll be spending the day in AK because I am a critter lover and and really like Kilimanjaro Safari, Pangiani Trail, Maharajah Jungle Trek, FOTLK & Jungle Jammin' Parade.

We aren't doing the parks this trip but AK is our favorite park as well. We have nothing planned for Thursday. We were toying with the idea of doing the Backstage Magic tour because it is the only tour that doesn't require admission to the parks. But we've seen some of it before and it is really too expensive.

Who brought up www.accuweather.com?! CURSE YOU!!!

Why, you dream/plan/book your NEXT Disney stay of course!



Oh thank goodness another person in the 40s. I was getting quite jealous of all these 20s and teens postings! 42 days for me!

I know! Every time I see a 20something I make a face at the screen! I'm at 40!!

What app lets you create your own detailed itinerary/park plan? I have Undercover Tourist, Lines & MDE, but I don't see a way to pick and choose what rides I'm riding and in what order. Maybe that's not an option for any of them - my it should be. Anyone ?

We will be at CBR 1/31-2/5! With 2 others families, preferred room! ADR' s done!

Good question. I'd love a free app that lets me plan my day. I know I'm going to get there, and be like " Next ride is.... SQUIRREL

I'm at 42! This thread and the facebook group is killing me with all of the shorter countdowns than ours.

There are some sports events going on in February. I don't they will impact the crowds at the parks too much. But if you are staying at one of the resorts that they tend to stay at, like the All Star resorts, you may see them there.

Here is the website to check up on it:
http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/find/

Feb 2 -3, 2013 - UDA - National Dance Team Championships

Feb 9-10, 2013 - UCA National Cheerleading Championships -
http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/cheer/uca-highschool-national-championships/

Feb 13 - 18, 2013 - There is a gymnastic event http://espnwwos.disney.go.com/events/more/usa-competitions-presidential-classic/

Feb 15 - 18, 2013 - Twirl Mania

I've only seen these groups in the parks at night.

Is anyone besides me having trouble checking in? I am 17 days out and when trying to check in it tells me that the web page is unavailable due to server problems BUT when I go to check in my mother in law (whom is under the same log in as me) I can get all the way through. Any suggestions?

 

[apentney]

Also, if I remember correctly in 2010 when we went we had to show our IDs with our park tickets. Is that correct?

 

[Terkina]

Since we booked through the UK/EU disney site I don't have a booking number the disney site will accept

Are they linked? I feel like people had problems checking in online for both reservations (with the old site) when there were linked reservations.

We showed ID at check in but not at the parks when we used them. They'll be linked to your fingerprint though.

I can start the check in. But once I try to move to page 2 it tells me the page it unavailable.

Anyone know also if you have to show IDs when shopping? My biggest concern is just having to carry around anything but my camera. Also, when my last name changed they gave me a card like they do for change of address and some people seem confused by it... I am bringing my passport for the airplane but certainly don't want to carry that around!

Thanks for sharing this as I've never used this site before. My new daily dose is to check the extended forecast and add the weather estimate to my travel calendar and update if the weather changes. So far they're posted thru Wed 2/5. While not 81 like today, I wouldn't mind a 68 sunny day.

Great site, but bad for nerves. Rain for 2/6... DD 5th birthday!
However, weather has changed for some days.

I need that App too! I thought I would have it with the new My Disney Experience...Option says add plans... I can add parades, character greetings, fireworks...NO rides..

I've got to get my spreadsheets finished! I kept putting it off so that as it got closer I'd be so busy finishing them up the time would fly by!

Just booked 'Ohanna breakfast for our departure morning - super early. Hopefully mom will be on board. She's going to work the next day and we'll have a 15 hour drive ahead of us!

Just one last hoorah at my favorite breakfast place before I begin sobbing on the way out!

You created a day by day itinerary?
