November 2012 Trip planners #4~almost Disney time! Everyone welcome!

[disneychic2]

Is anyone on Instagram or Twitter?

I have been posting lots of Instagram Disney pics and am looking for other Disney fans to follow!

My instagram is rachel9985

My twitter is RachelHoye

I will probably be tweeting and instagramming live Nov 1st through Nov 6th!

Feel free to post yours and hopefully we can all follow each other

I'm on instagram as dhammis. My wife is ehammis. She will probably instagram more than I, but I may remember to do more. I'm 710squirrel on twitter but mostly use that for following racing. I may also remember to tweet stuff there from our trip though.

Okay, now you guys are just showing off! I'm lucky to keep up with Facebook and the DIS, without tossing in those others. Maybe one day......

Best advice EVER!

It's back to school time here so I will be around even less than usual

DH is holding my suitcases hostage until 30 days prior to departure. What he doesn't know is I already started packing but I just put things in 2 of those big rubbermaid containers in my office.

My kids started school today also. And I went to the gym for the first time in my entire life. Ive always been 120lb even after my kids it all went right back with in a month. Well this year I turned 33 and I gain 6lbs over the summer. As my mother used to tell me as I would eat like a teenage boy "you'll get yours little girl" Its caught up to me booo I hate working out.

My youngest is in school M W F so my goal is to go on the days she is in school. I think that should be enough activity to get this unwanted gain in check.

I've been lurking this morning. Checked out what y'all were saying while walking my daughter to school this morning. We're into our second week already here in Texas.

On a Disney related note, my wife found a few more Disney Parks documentaries on Netflix that she has added to our streaming queue. This is another fun thing that we can watch with the kids without tipping them off to the trip. Still can't wait to see their faces when they realize we are going this year.

To generate a topic today I'll ask the group this:

What do you think is the perfect Disney trip length?

Personally for me about 6-7 days of actual park/resort time is the wheel house that I hunt for. Keep a day or two on each end of the trip for travel and unwinding that doesn't involve any parks. Gives us time to see just about everything without really feeling rushed.

well we did 6 days before and only 4 were actually park days.... we are doing 8 this trip with 1 'off' day and the other 7 slower days... my ideal time would be 8 or 9 and only 5 or 6 in parks....with some relaxing days by the pool but due to CLP and other events, our other rest day got taken away which is fine, we dont have to go right to epcot

 

[Eeyores#1Fan]

Hi Everyone! Hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend. We went to the beach for our last beach trip of the year. Had lovely weather! 1 full day at the beach and 1 full day at the pool. Now to get excited about Disney.

Q of the Day- We like 7 days with 4/5 at the parks and the rest chilling. We always end our trip with Downtown Disney too.

 

[TruBlu]

10 days is perfect for us!!!! It's going to seem so short only doing 8 this trip!

Reposting my ADRs as I have been mulling it over and I wanted some input. Am I too "Meal Heavy" as I was wondering if Artist Point and Fulton's Crab House was just 1 "Signature Meal" too many, especially since we have character dinings plus a Fantasmic package plus we are Club Level at WL, so we have their "snack buffet" to work with as well. Also, since we are doing Epcot on the 8th, by having Fulton's on the list, we have make our way back to the hotel, and then to DTD, and we just might be too bushed at that point. Should we just drop Fulton's and either do a quick dining at Epcot/WL, or something similar if we make it to DTD?
