Yes we are first timers! And soooo excited!party:

We are going in Aug. Should I buy some pins and lanyards before we go?? Does everyone need a lanyard?

We are stay at the ASMu suite for 10 days - Me, DH, DD 11, DS 11 , DS 17. I asked in March for a pool side room they said they would make note of this, should I call them again to check if we are able to get that request??? And do I need to recheck all my conformation numbers on our restaurants to make sure they have not messed up some where??

Sure am glad I found this board!:confused3

Any help is very much appreciated!!!

Thanks for all the help in planning this vacation!!!!

Does everyone need a lanyard? I would say only those who like trading pins.
When you call to confirm your reservation, just make sure they have your request for a pool view on your reservation form.
Yes to rechecking all of your reservations. That is always a good idea. Welcome aboard, and I hope you and your family have a great time at WDW.:banana:
 
Hi and Welcome to the DIS:thumbsup2

As for the lanyard question we have been 4 times now and never had one
my kids aren't into pins so no real need.

I would call and confirm you hotel reservation and ask to be sure they put poolside on the Reservation. I call a few months out to confirm and check on ALL my ressies and than I call back about a week or so before to confirm one last time.

Pin trading is great fun for kids (& adults!) Everyone who wants to trade should have a lanyard. I suggest you get your lanyard and pins on ebay. Pins @the parks and resorts start @$6 and most are @$10+...I never pay more than $2 for pins on ebay...and don't worry if your kids will like them or not...thats part of the fun, you trade them for ones you want! (If you have a bunch of pins you love you won't trade any!) Cast members with green lanyards only trade with kids...I have encouraged my son to only trade with cast members...and the cast members will seek out your child if they have a lanyard...) Its a great way to interact with other people, pass the time in line, waiting for a parade, ect...Enjoy! :thumbsup2
 
Thanks for the advice. I am sure I will be back with more questions as the time gets closer!!:banana: :banana: :banana:
 
WELCOME!!

Lanyards are nice when you actually have a number of pins to trade... the first couple years of our kids' pin collecting/trading they had no lanyards. Then when they each had about 10 pins, they bought themselves lanyards. Til then they just had them on their shirt.

Calling to verify ressies can't hurt.

I hope your trip is MAGICAL!!!!
 
I just picked up the lanyards with the wallet attached, so we can put our room cards and id's in. They are very cute, one's Mickey and the other is Tinkerbell. The kids can also collect pins on them if they want too. I got them on ebay.
