I just booked my flights!! Eeek! They were $200 less than I have seen before so I booked them.

I was hesitating on booking them because at the moment, I am going through my first union contract negotiations at work. There has been whispers of possibly going on strike.....

Travel insurance doesn't cover strikes (unless I lose my job which is extremely unlikely) so if we do go on strike, I will lose the cost of the flights

Everyone think good thoughts that I won't go on strike!!

We will be at the poly from Sept. 28-Oct.7...I can't wait to see our girls faces when we tell them we are going...our five year old has never been! The older has only been twice..

Guess we will deal with the heat...lots of water for us!!!

Our five year old is pretty tiny, so we thought it would be great for her getting around (and us, as I am out of shape right now...haha).

So excited!

Yes we are still a stroller family here, so the Poly is perfect. No shame in that!! Did you request a particular longhouse?

Are some rooms better than others? We have a garden room....what should we request?

We stayed in Tokelau, which is centrally located to everything! Loved it! We also had a garden view room and our view was of the quiet pool, very nice!

Just changed from POR to AOA Little Mermaid room for 9/25 to 9/29.

It will be me, my daughter and 2 granddaughters...a girls only trip and our 1st MNSSHP!

My mom, my partner and I have just booked our trip for September 9-15. We'll be driving down from Tennessee and will stay at Port Orleans French Quarter, taking advantage of free Disney Dining! Each day has been planned and dining reservations are made.

Glad you were able to book... My Aunt and I will be there the exact same dates, but staying at the sister resort of Port Orleans Riverside... we are also driving from Indiana. Never know if we will pass each other on the road... at a rest area or possibly on the same bus...

Super excited- decided to go to MNSSHP again! I have to get the military tickets while I am there, so it would be SUPER expensive to add on a regular park ticket for the day, so since you get in at a decent time with just the MNSSHP ticket, I'll do that instead of another full park day! Yay!

Hello, fellow Tennessean!! We'll also be driving down from TN - but we'll be arriving when you're leaving, on the 15th!

Hey PrincessIzzy, I am sort of new to these DIS boards too and I will also be there the same dates, we arrived on the 22nd (hopefully as long as the airfare prices come down soon) and leave on the 29th at POR. This is our 1st time at a Moderate resort, we've always stayed at Values. So jealous you are staying in the new royal rooms. We upgraded to moderate this year for the better free dining plan, so I knew I'd be pushing my luck asking DH to go for a royal room. We are going to do MNSSHP that week too - hoping for Tuesday, Sept 25, how about you? Do you have kids? I have a daugther, she will be age 9 when we are down there.

Have you driven down before? This will be my first time (since 1979) doing it by car, and I'm dreading the drive but am thankful we don't live up north somewhere!

Oooh, thanks for the suggestion....we too will be staying at the Poly for a few nights (switching over to BLT for the rest of our stay) and have a GV room. I did request the Somoa longhouse due to it's location. My DH's only concern is that we are near the GCH and either of the pools, however, I may have to consider changing my request to Tokelau (thanks to PP). This is the first time that DH and both DDs are staying here, while the last time for me was when I was a kid in the '80s....I am so excited about returning and going down memory lane .

Booked a 1 bedroom at SSR this morning! Love that my parents both love me and have DVC

My fiancee hasn't been to WDW since she was 7 or 8, 20ish years, so we'll have a blast.

We fly down Sept 8th, so hoping the crowds won't be bad. Now I just have to figure out dining and make some reservations there!

I know you weren't talking to me... but the drive isn't that bad.
In case you overlooked my post directed to you earlier.... I am driving down with my Aunt from Indiana, arriving the same day as you and staying at Port Orleans Riverside. This will be my 5th time driving down... The only spot that may be of any concern is going thru Atlanta.. I was advised before my 1st trip not to take the circle but to continue thru... I guess the circle is more congested... except for being a bit claustrophobic with a lot of cars nearby, it was simple. Just try to avoid rush hour... although since you are traveling on the weekends that may not apply.

I will be back in Sept 2012 from the 8th to the 18th. I am going with my husband and friend. The friend who is a single Mom has never been to Disney and has never flown. She is so excited. My son just got a job in security there so it will be even more fun!
