***October 2012 Thread*** MNSSHP + Food & Wine - Does It Get Any Better?

Just got back Thur from our week at WDW...it was amazing...but now I need to concentrate on another vacay...just over 9 months to go til our Oct trip!!! ;)

Making ADR's in April (got it marked on the calendar :thumbsup2).
 
I can't wait to make ADRs! I already have a pretty good idea of where I want to eat on which days. :rolleyes1
 
Just booked! Mid October at Coronado! Never stayed there before and we can't wait.
 

Hi - Planning on being in Disney 10/28 - 11/3 !!!! Hubs is a chef and thought he'd really enjoy the food and wine festival! (I know I enjoy it - been several times that time of year) plan is to stay at the Pop and celebrate a few things - Hubs 1st trip, my 42nd bday (10/10), Hubs bday 11/23 and our 4th wedding anniversary (11/30) I think we'll do MNSSHP too - got to think of some creative lightweight fun costumes for us to wear.. I have one thing in mind but we'll see.. :goodvibes we are very excited!! Free dining would make the trip !! fingers crosses

Just wanted to let you know that we have made the drive from just south of Dayton, OH a few times and we stayed the night in Tifton, GA. It is a nice area with hotels and restaurants. We made it to WDW around lunchtime the next day. I want to say it is about 4ish hours from Disney. Last year was the first year we flew. We flew out of CVG (cincy/no. ky) and we got there in less than 2 hours. I have a feeling I will never see the city of Tifton again.;)

It IS so nice to get there quickly! We flew last time, out of Huntington WV. I'm actually looking forward to the drive.. we are going to take our time and sight see along the way :thumbsup2

Nice! Let us know when you're 'official' and I'll add you to the ever growing list! :)

We will be staying at the POP from 10/23-10/30. So excited for our family!!!

First trip! Awesome! You're going to love it! If you have any questions about Pop, feel free to ask. I've stayed there many times.

Will do for sure! And, thank you, I have lots of questions!! We are trying to decide what kind of room we'd like, suggestions? Would love to have poolside, but I am a little nervous about noise while the kids are napping/sleeping. Another thought was the 70's building facing the playground. I was thinking it might be close enough to sit out and watch kids playing. But then I was looking at pictures and worried that the view might be blocked by some trees. Another thought was a lake view (looking North?) to possibly see fireworks, but worried of the trek with 3 kids in tow, and my parents (of which my father will have a scooter). Whadya think?
 
We are planning a trip Oct 13-20 for DD's 6th and DH 30th bday! We are very excited about MNSSHP and I just realized that we will be there for F&W Festival too which DH is excited about. We are planning on staying at Pop Century.
 
Just booked and just found this thread! :) My DBFF, her DH (they are celebrating their 18 wedding anniversary), myself and DBF are going. We're going Oct20-26th. Will be our first time staying at POFQ. Were really lucky and got flights out of STL for $215 round trip. :banana: Can't decided whether or not to try the MNSSHP?

Can't wait to make ADR!!
 
I think we will be booking a trip for October 2012! Just have to finalize a few plans and then pull the trigger. Can't wait!

Do you mind me asking what airlines you got that price with? I've been checking daily, and Southwest won't let me see their prices that far away:mad: If we decide to spend the $$ on airfare, we will have to keep it cheap, but since we will be traveling with some less mobile folks as well...we want to stick with nonstop, or at the very least, no changeovers! *We'll be flying out of StL as well! Can't wait!!! :banana:
 
Welcome to all the newbies! If you want to be added to the list on the first page, just let me know. I can't keep track anymore. :rotfl:

I know Continental and Delta's fares are published. JetBlue and SW are dragging their feet...:rolleyes:

I always find from Houston/Dallas that Southwest has been cheaper for our dates; when others have appeared cheaper, they were not after I took into account luggage fees.

I'm waiting until they release their dates - my best guess with be late Feb to early March for that release....
 
Hey Guys! Can you add me to the master list? My family is heading down Oct. 14- 19th staying at BC. We are staying at the BC because we LOVED the F&MF last year. This year we want to walk over anytime.

Will do! I was thinking of switching my res over to the BW for that very same reason. But I think the clown pool is keeping me away...:laughing:

Be happy to share that. :) We booked on Continental/United. American had similar prices but the flight times were better with the other. There is one stop and plane change for us in Houston. I didn't see any direct flights right now. I bet Southwest will have some direct flights when those dates become available.
 
I found the same price! I will call and let my MiL know right away! I think since we want to let DH do the Exotic Car Driving Experience, and DD and I are going to do MNSSHP, we will just drive down in our own car and let MiL and DGM fly. There will still be a bit of cash left over from the savings, so we may even book a character breakfast which is something DD would LOVE and we've never been able to do before! :banana: I just can't WAIT! :upsidedow Sidenote: I have a brand new job that requires that I get past my 6 month probationary period before using my vaca. I'm so torn about whther I should be nice to the scheduling person and let them know NOW, or if I should wait until it's a bit closer so it doesn't look like I'm "that girl!" :rotfl:
