Could you please add me for Oct 14-20 at PoP. Can't wait

 

[tellemarie]

I'm tentatively planning for October 28-31st I haven't been during that time for quite a while and I've always wanted to go to the Not So Scary Halloween Party so I was looking at my finances and it seems like I might be able to!

I'm thinking I'll be renting points for Bay Lake Tower since it'll be such a short stay, it'll be nice to be on the Monorail to MK (which I haven't done before either ) I'm sooooo excited!

Adding all of you!

I've been MIA lately due to how excrutiatingly slow the boards are. Has anyone else been having a problem? No matter where I sign on from, it takes 5 minutes to load a page! Today was the first time all week it's worked properly.

 

[KNovacovschi]

Thanks Jenny105 . Yes I've been finding the boards extremly slow as well. Even on my iPhone it's been slow. It does seem to be faster now.

We are only getting the Quick Service DP but are going to do 2 table service meals.

So changed my mind and called our TA and upgraded to DDP. Figured out the price for the 2 TS meals and figured out the price difference between the plans and the cost difference was not much. It was about $300. Decided that the 2 TS meals will be about $200 anyways. Now we can have sit down meals instead of just fast food all week.

Now that it has been finalized now we (read it to say me, lol) need to decide on where to eat and what parks to visit. We are definitely doing Crystal Palace. Once I have decided the park days (we only got base tickets, no park hopping) then we can decide where to eat. I have till April 17, when we can do our ADR's to decide but I'm a bit antzy so want to decide now. lol. My DH is getting annoyed with all the Disney talk so have to figure a way to get us all to sit down and decide.

We plan on seeing Fantasmic, Illuminations, Parades and fireworks. The rides that will be a definite are Soarin', Tower of Terror, Rock N' Rollercoaster, Dumbo(even though we don't have any little ones going) and Haunted Mansion. We are also doing the Boardwalk and DTD. Can't wait for the shopping.

Have so much more to plan and am excited to do so.

LOL! My husband is the same way. He's gotten to the point where he tunes me out most of the time. That's why I love this place so much. It's nice to be able to talk to people that are just as obsessed about Disney as I am!! LOL!!

We've decided to go in Sept. instead of October. It seems that my dd has 9/17 and 9/18 off from school next year, so she'd only miss three days of school if we go that week. So, I'll be off the October thread and looking for September Have a great time at f & w, everyone!!

 

[andrewsmommy]

Just booked our house for our trip! We will be in Windsor Palms 9/30-10/7. Can't wait to really get planning - hard until we know when MNNSHP is and we might say on property for one night to hit early magic hours.

We have always surprised our boys (8 and 5) with trips in the past, but they know about this one so they're excited too.

Jenny105 - DD has recently shown an interest in POFQ. We've stayed there before and she really liked it. I am a little perplexed as to why she doesn't want to stay at WL, but today I told her we could stay at POFQ if she really wanted to - - she was so excited - - so we're changing resorts. I will be calling our TA tomorrow. So could you please change our resort? Thanks!

Don't you love kid's innocence?? When we stayed at AKV DS didn't "approve" hahaha. He wanted to stay at ASMo again

Innocence? She's 16! But nothing she says/does these days make much sense. Her hormones are just crazy! I am looking at it this way though, it will give us more $$ to put towards other things. We really want to do a tour or two this time around, and the ones we're interested in are rather pricey. Just 7 mos., 4 wks, and one more day to go! (Please Lord don't let her change her mind again...) The bottom line is I really don't care where we stay as long as we're there.

that's how I feel about my 12 yr old DS right now! His personality seems to change drastically about a dozen times/day! Plus he's border line too cool for WDW...or so he thinks! Once we're there though, he has a fantastic time! I think he secretly can't wait, but has to hold on to his cool facade On the other hand, DD talks about WDW almost as much as I do!
