October looking good...

Good for you tiggerdad. That will minimize the amount of school work missed by DD.

Got my daughter's school schedule for next year and looks like fall break is October 12 & 13. So she will only be out 3 days. So looks like October 9th through 18th for us.

Think I'll dress up as a pirate
 

Vince, I traded out the old Mr. Coffee for a Keurig. My wife bought me one for Christmas. I owe you a cup if you happen to be there.

Ken, where you been man? I know you typically go in November but just couldn't put the daughter through that much missed school again.

Been busy, too many bad guys out there, if you know what I mean. We are happy for you and your lovely family. Wow, over 7 months of excitement and anticipation. Going to miss chatting with you in November. We know exactly what you mean about the school thing, had to do that for years and years and years and years. At least the squirrels should be well fed and maybe less aggressive by the time we arrive.
 
Will be booking full hook up for now as all the premiums are booked up with Columbus Day falling in that period.

Nothing ever goes as planned :headache:. I'm sure a premium site will open up before then. Now begins the dreaded 7 month drill :mad: . Hope one opens soon for you.
 
Oh I'm sure it will. If not I got carpet to cover the crushed shell pads.
 
Do you mean there is a chance I might meet some of you "famous" DIS'ers?? WooHoo!!! We are arriving 9/29, and leaving Tuesday 10/13. So we just may run across each other! As the trip nears, I'm hoping to start a trip report again :) Not sure how busy we'll be as we are bringing our brother/sister in law and their 4 kids too, and "showing them the ropes" so to speak! We both have requested Big Bear Loop- praying we get the same site as last trip- really hope to see some of you!
 
I'm disappointed, I had hoped our trips would coincide! But I'm glad you guys get to go again and since you will be ahead of me I have a mission for you should you choose to accept it, I need a picture of the drink menu at Crockett's Tavern.
 
Keep me reminded Ruthies, maybe somebody can update for you between now and then.
 
They just released my kids school calendar for next year fall break Oct 12-16. So they do not have to miss any school. Yea! Looking forward to our first trip to the Fort! We will be there Oct 10-18.
 
We'll be there, checking in Oct 8 and leaving Oct 11. My kids will be high school seniors, so the 4 day weekend is all we can do since that's all they get off for Columbus Day. And yes, we had to book a preferred hookup but a Premium opened up a week or so later. Woo hoo!
 
We will be there Oct 01 - 14, - it's been awhile since we have stayed here.
 
I wish we could all plan a get together! Does anyone ever do that?
 
That was brought up last Nov., but nothing ever came of it.
Well, by gosh, how come?? I would LOVE to get together with fellow DIS'ers and have a cookout or something! Just to add faces to names would be so much fun!
 
This topic comes up periodically.

At a WDW vacation, everyone is busy coming and going to parks, meals, events, etc. That's how the lime green Mickey sign got started. People put it out and if you went by, saw the sign, and saw someone outside, that was a chance to chat. Nowadays with cellular data coverage and loaner cable modem kits, it's been much easier the last few years to find out what people's daily plans are "in real time".

Setting a date/time/place has historically not borne much fruit. People who come multiple times a year can sometimes hit it because if they don't do something this time, they'll catch it in a few months. But everyone else is off doing their vacation thing.

Personally, I try to live trip report enough to let folks know if I'll be around the Fort the next day or so. That way if their plans match up we can chat. Bet I talked to nearly 20 people (DIS'sers and spouses) last year at this time. It was a blast.

My point is don't set expectations too high. But who knows? You might be pleasantly surprised. To the degree you can communicate in advance of when you arrive and maybe share general plans (this day this park, that day at the Fort, etc.) then so much the better.
