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

Then, today I got my 2013 edition of the Unofficial Guide (from Amazon). I don't get one every year, but like to update every 2 or 3 years. I don't even really need it, but it's fun to read through and gives me something to do while I'm waiting to get there. Ok. I can admit it. I'm pathetic!:rolleyes:

Did you get it as a book, or Kindle Edition? What does it say about the new Fantasyland expansion?

Nope. They said the land and the movies are being pushed back because of some creative disputes between Cameron and Disney. No other info was given.

This language is usually the precursor to scrapping a project, but with the films also delayed it may really just be a delay. BUT the rumor is they'll now go full speed ahead with Carsland at DHS!

I know I was one of the few who loved the idea of an Avatar park, but DS is already sold on Carsland, and if they can get it done by our next trip, that will almost make up for missing (probably) FLE this time.

I know I'm way behind but wanted to say I'm still here reading and celebrating with everyone! We started school this Tuesday and then I went and hurt my back go figure! The kids got the tip envelopes done for mousekeeping and we got some long sleeved shirts to wear under our tees incase it is chilly. Only 81 days for us! Can't wait!

I'm one of the few with you. I was looking forward to an Avatar Park. I hope it is still a go.

I am so happy that the powers that be are going to be paying some attention to DHS. It needs help.

Hi!! :goodvibes
 
I'm so ready to take this trip! Work has been hard on DH lately and I cannot wait to get him outta here for a break.

Speaking of buying long sleeve shirts in case it's chilly...what kind of weather are we looking at for November? Never been so late in the year at WDW...Sorry if this has been asked a million times. :flower3:
 
get the holiday sandwich from EoS in DTD. That sandwich IS Thanksgiving!!! It actually saved us one year as we had tickets for La Nouba and had no reservations for dinner now 5 years later its our new T-dinner tradition!

I wholeheartedly agree about the sandwich!!! If I could have I would have filled my suitcase with them!!

We always go the week after Thanksgiving and I take everything. :rotfl:Shorts, long sleeves and heavy jackets with gloves. And we usually use all of it in the same week. :eek:

Awesome - that's what I planned on! With a cruise and a 10 day trip, I feel like I might as well just ship my closet ahead of time...:rotfl2: So for me it will be jeans, tanks, sweaters, jackets, boots, dresses, swimsuit, cover-up, shorts. For DH, it will be shorts and t-shirts. HAHA!
 
So excited that my principal approved my personal say for our trip! Everything is falling into place! I am at 58 days and I am so excited.
 
Did you get it as a book, or Kindle Edition? What does it say about the new Fantasyland expansion?

I got the book. I like to mark it up and stick bookmarks everywhere. This edition seems a good bit more flimsy with thinner pages than my 2011 edition. :sad2:

They have a dedicated page for the Fantasyland expansion telling about the attractions and dining options. They did confirm the dedicated meet and greet location for Aurora, Cindy, Rapunzel and Tiana where SWSA used to be. They also said the new Under the Sea Little Mermaid ride will admit riders almost continuously throughout the day at a rate of around 2,000 per hour. Cool!:cool1: They say that the expansion nearly doubles Fantasyland, so even though it will attract lots of people, the size will allow for people to spread out more.

The expanded FL is divided into 3 distinct new sections. One is the Beast's castle with BOG, also Gaston's Tavern and a gift shop. Another is the part with Dumbo, Goofy's Barnstormer and the train station, (called storybook circus). Dividing those two will be the major rides of Little Mermaid and 7 Dwarfs Mine ride. No mention of Maurice's cottage or where it's located. I would guess over by BOG somewhere. The Princess Fairytale Hall m&g will open in 2013 :thumbsup2

Under the Sea: Journey of Little Mermaid will not be a fastpass attraction. Because of the rate of loading, they felt it wasn't necessary. So probably better hit that one first or during a parade, especially for those of us experiencing it when it first opens! The ride is 5 1/2 minutes. You ride in a clam shell shaped vehicle that continuously moves taking you through a dozen scenes retelling the story of the LM.

That's pretty much it. No mention at all about Maurice's Cottage, and I'm really looking forward to seeing that! Hope this helps!:goodvibes

It's been a long day, so hitting the sheets early tonight. See ya real soon!

Yay for understanding principals!! :cool1: I have 25 more days than you do to wait. But it's worth it!;)
 
Got a room only discount in a LM room at AOA! Now I'm really excited! This is a really impromptu birthday trip for just DD and me. She thinks we're staying at ASMu - can't wait to see her face when we arrive at AOA!

Hooray!

Did I see you on a July thread? It'll be nice to return when it isn't so hot!

That will be a great surprise! Congrats on the score!:cool1:
 
Question: How did you discover the DIS boards?

I was reading my new UGuide and thought that was where I first heard of the DIS, but they do not list it in their book. (probably b/c of some of the hateful, snarky posts) Then I remembered I heard about it on the Mom's panel.;)
