I'm so happy you are going in October, Smitch - you are so helpful in these threads! Glad to have your expertise.
Helping people here somehow makes my trip feel like it's closer. I have learned so much here that I feel it is my duty to pay it forward. Only 172 more days!
Awww...that is very sweet of you to say. Thank you.
Adding my thanks! I have learned so much from your kind, informative posts!
Thank you for thanking me. I'll be sure to show DH these posts when he gets home and sees the house lookin' like a hot mess. 
Then he'll know I wasn't completely slacking all day. 
Yep...just checked in the mirror. I'm blushing.
Thanks! LOL re: DH - there is so much info and the planning seems to be half the fun.
Congrats on the ADRs! There was a thread on the main board about breakfast vs. lunch, I've never been so take this for what it's worth, people said breakfast is more traditional breakfast foods and lunch is more adventurous. Some people suggested a 10:30ish ADR, i.e. right at the end of breakfast? That way you could sample both breakfast at lunch. I agree that at first thing in the morning you may still be stuffed from the night before!
Oh thank you - I'm so happy to hear that. I love the fact that the quiet pools are right by the laundry, that's so clever. How old is your DS?
We'll be in the parks 10/28-11/3.Yep...just checked in the mirror. I'm blushing.
I have many answers to many things, but sadly, that is not one of them. Though I do play games with my DS8 when his room is out of control. Sometimes I'll pick up one toy and he'll pick up 4, and we keep doing that until it is clean. Or sometimes I sit on his bed and give him a topic like "Toy Story characters" and he calls out one for each toy he grabs and puts away. He has a bunch of those Closetmaid cubes and shelving, so cleanup goes fast. The one thing I'm a stickler for is making sure all of his Power Rangers Squinkies are accounted for. There are 48 of them so I count them and put them away. It's the weirdest thing, though... 9 times out of 10 it is the same character that is the last one I find. We are convinced he comes to life and tries to hide. 
Anyone having problems with ADR? Today is the first day we can make them and online reservations aren't working and when we called they to us to wait until we could do it online. I'm concerned about not getting time that will work for the kiddos now
Awww...that is very sweet of you to say. Thank you.
. I want to check this off my list!
When I called back they had that message on. Makes me feel a little better but is driving the planner in me CRAZY
I hope it comes back up soon!! I am going mid-October (15th-19th)
I am also looking forward to some beignets from POFQ! We just like the big resort feel and theming a little better at POR vs. POFQ.
We're staying at POR Oct 18-27 and I am sure DS will be dragging us over to POFQ for the sea serpant slide at POFQ at least once during our trip!
Are you a AAA member? If yes, you should be able to get a 15% off RO discount at POR for now if you want to hold on to something (at least POR, maybe POFQ too). We had a AAA RO booked, and now have a AAA package (small discount on tickets too) and will just plan to rebook if something better comes along.
