19 days until POR. I am just now nervous about the weather. Usually SW Ontario is very hot and humid this time of year-so going to Disney really isn't much different. but right now it is so cold here that I have worn a sweat shirt all day. I am hoping for some very hot weather soon so Florida won't be such a shock

 

[cheerful chickadee]

I wonder when I should expect it , I do t remember last year exactly when I got my mm.

so exciting! If you booked a package then you should receive your documents and luggage tags very soon. I'd say if you don't receive anything by Day 29 then I would call. I don't think they mail anything for room only reservations, maybe just an invoice. I may be mistaken....

Got my Mickey Mail a few days ago; 35 days out I believe. I've been fighting the flu and that day was the sickest I've been, so it was so nice to have something to smile about!!

Good question, does anyone know about this? Would we have been notified in our Mickey mail or will it come after (if it does)?

Most posters in the above listed hotels found out through the DIS or went to MDE and updated their online check-in to be able to order MB. Clicking on FP+ will take you to a page where you can choose park and attractions IF you are part of the test AND within the testing days. The official CM word is that you will be notified 15 or 17 days prior to your arrival, but most of us have already ordered or received our MB 25 or more days out by not waiting for email invite.

The following link is a thread with more info on all that...

Hi, I'm taking my DD6 and DD9 for the second time to the world (single mom, taking them on my own ... so), I'll be getting a stroller for carrying the little one or carrying packages, 9/17 through the 24th staying at ASMovies (stayed there last time), we don't have park hopper and we don't have rental car. Arriving on 17th at 1030AM and departing on 24th at 6P. I have tickets to our first MNSSHP on the 20th. I was hoping to get some feedback, suggestions or input on the plan, used the crowd level predictor and the length of stay to pick the parks we visited on which day.

9/17 - arrive at 1030A. was going to skip park today (so that we can visit park on last day) have ADR at HDDR around 430P, then either back to hotel for evening or DTD

9/18 - AK for RD at 9A, we have no ADR today, after the afternoon break maybe DTD depending on what last night brought.

9/19 - HS for RD at 9, 1130A ADR at Prime Time, then break at hotel, then ADR at 1900 PF for 5p. Then Fantasmic for 8P.

9/20 - MK for RD at 9, ADR at 950A at CP, my little one has a new passion for Pooh and the gang. Break in afternoon, then tickets for MNSSHP, it's our first time. So hear either 4P or 7p is the time to make it back into the park, unsure what the real story is. I also heard that it's worth it to skip the first parade that night so that we can find ourselves some shorter character and ride lines. Advise?

9/21 - Epcot, RD at 9, have ADR at Ohana for 7:50A, BUT I heard that I'd have to take a taxi there, I think I might cancel if that's the case. Then we have lunch at Akershus for 12:30, back to hotel to chill, then dinner at Yachtsman for 6P (a must for us each visit). Then back to Epcot for Illuminations, never seen before.

9/22 - AK for RD at 9, then we'll leave and hit up beaches and cream for lunch (or ice cream) then to board walk, never saw it last time out, then chill at hotel and see what the night brings.

9/23 MK for RD at 9, have ADR at Kona for 730A I hear the tonga toast is delish, BUT again if I have to snag a taxi I think I'll skip it, then we will chill for the afternoon, back to MK for QS at Cosmic Rays, I hear it's pretty good, good deal for the price of it, then we'll do the elec parade and wishes (great way to spend last night in the world)

9/24 - Epcot for 8A RD, we have ADR for 130p at Le Cellier, and sad face back to the hotel for probably 3ish ... I think ... for Magical Express

So let me know if you guys have tips, like what other resorts have to offer in regard to potential night time fun, things I can do with the kids at DTD or the board walk, at DTD we're skipping Dis Quest, but will do splitzville at some point. Thanks again for your valued input.
