Fingers crossed we get some news soon!

It was posted a few pages back that Disney Ponchos were replaceable if they tore I hope they're still doing this! Are you planning only one day at MK? I hope you post photos of your costumes I'd LOVE to see them!!!

I'm going to try to investigate if they are still replacing them because then I think it would be worth it.

I will definitely post pics!

Here are our ADR plans. I went a little nuts:

Arrival: DS, just QS. Prob DLuxe or WPE
HS day: Bon Voyage breakfast 10:40
Epcot day1: Via Napoli 11:45
MK day1:Crystal Palace either 8:40 or 9:50, LTT 2:15
Epcot day2: Garden Grill 9:10
Short MK day: ohana 11:00, 1900 PF 6:45
AK day: Yak and Yeti 11:00, ROL Tiffins 4:50
Day off: TRex for kids 11:00, snacks for me and DH, Sanaa 5:05
Party day: I may take an Uber to Kona by myself at 8:35. Otherwise we will do lunch at WCC or Captain Cooke's. Arrive at party at 4
Departure day: Boma 10:15

Just typing that out seems like sooo much food. But there's so much I want to do/try. Just kinda going for it.

I'm wondering how crowded the nov 1st party will be. It's after Halloween but the W&D crowd will start coming in.

I know some people extended their trips to attend both parties. I was always planning on flying in on the 1st for W&D and I'm pretty thrilled to attend my first Halloween party!

It will be my first party too...and first W&D

Awesome! W&D is a fun race weekend! Just rest up between the half and after party if you're running the 1/2!

@Bex258 How is your Belle costume coming along?

Finally got a picture in semi decent lighting. So I have the top and skirt I purchased. The U shaped fabric and the bit at the top for the sleeves is one colour and the other two options are on the left. The picture doesn't show then as being too different but they are. I think I'm going to stick to the fabric I have already put in position.

Does everyone have their ADR's and Daily Itineraries done?

I originally started off wanting BOQ, Skipper Canteen and 'Ohana....then I got carried away.
My aim for the trip is to do as many rides and meet as many characters as I can so in the end the character dining helps out. I thin the only one I'm missing is 1900 Park Fare, wanted to meet Prince Charming but not so fussed by the food so the price was a bit much. I'm doing a 14 day trip so I have quite a bit planned.

Sept 17 - Travel day, spending most of it flying, I was hoping for a morning flight but no luck so I'll arrive too late to do anything other than have a look around the hotel. All Star Movies.
Sept 18 - Magic Kingdom day, lunch at Skipper Canteen 4:55pm - focus on doing as many rides as I can
Sept 19 - Early Morning Magic event in the morning, stay a bit longer do a few character meets and then head to I-Drive for I-Drive 360 and the Character Warehouse. The back to Polynesian for Trader Sam's and Pineapple Lanai. If I finish earlier with I-Drive I'll go to Disney Springs, I want to meet the Coca Cola bear.
Sept 20 - Bon Voyage Adventure breakfast, Blizzard beach and then Hollywood Studios (going to use FP to get some of the big rides done) Minnie's seasonal dine at H&V 4:00pm with Fantasmic! ticket.
Sept 21 - Chef Mickey's 7:30am, Typhoon Lagoon then onto Epcot to do some of the bigger rides on FP.
Sept 22 - Hollywood Studios no ADR but plan to see Star Wars fireworks and Club Villain IF they do it.
Sept 23 - Tusker House breakfast 10:45am with Rivers of Light FP and Animal Kingdom day.
Sept 24 - 8:55am Crystal Palace Breakfast (was thinking to try for earlier or later but I can always do the FP character meets. Magic Kingdom character day ready for MNSSHP 1
Sept 25 - Universal & Disney Springs
Sept 26 - Magic Kingdom character day and MNSSHP 2
Sept 27 - The Garden Grill 10:10am and Epcot day
Sept 28 - Cape May Café 8:05am, Volcano Bay
Sept 29 - IOA and then Return to Sleepy Hollow 10pm
Sept 30 - Animal Kingdom to focus on Pandora and then afternoon onwards Magic Kingdom with BOG 6pm.
Oct 1 - 'Ohana breakfast 10am and Disney Springs or some Disney mini golf and flying home that evening.

I'm so mad at myself for not remembering about Oct 1st being MK and Epcot's birthday. My 14 day ticket starts on the 17th so ends on the 30th (which is a bit unfair as I won't get to use it that day) so I can't go in the parks but once I leave 'Ohana I'll get to the gates on both parks to get a birthday photo. -> looks like I misunderstood the ticket so ignore that

 

[Bex258]

A start on my Rey costume. A H&M t-shirt that I need to adjust and a Primark scarf that happens to be similar to that fabric she has, needs to be adjusted as well.

 

[davale4]

So I read on the restaurant forum that Disney IT is having issue again - perhaps they're loading MNSSHP? *wishful thinking*

I was thinking the same! I hope it's not just "wishful thinking"!!!

Is it just the type of ticket you bought that requires it to start on the 17th? Because don't they normally start from the day of first use?

 

[VillainFavs]

Oh I love this question! Get to MK at 3:30 or 3:15, you want to be the VERY first to enter the Halloween threshold. With your blinders on and you'll need them, head straight to J&S as soon as your done head straight to see the Dwarfs then onto rides. FP can ONLY be made between 3:30 - 6:30 so make Mine Train 5:30-6:30 and you should be fine.

These are top priority meet & greets, during some parties this is doable but not for all of them due to crowds. Good luck and I hope you report back!

EDIT: Then get your Magic Shots during Parade and Show times! Some got theirs done while the fireworks were bursting in air which made a fantastic photo

So are you saying we could meet J&S AND 7 dwarfs before 6:30? Do they really come out early enough to do that? Even if you were first in line for the first M&G, you'd have to wait in line for the second. Do they move that fast?

First party and trying to get a feel for a game plan!

 

[Regan117]

Ditto...ditto...

We did Club Villain twice. It was incredible!

 

[soniam]

It will be my first party too...and first W&D

It will be our first party, first Wine & Dine, first Disney run, and our first Food & Wine.

 

[Bex258]

I went back to check and what you said applied to mine as well, it looks like the way it was worded when I booked made me think it started on my arrival day.
(I'm talking about the UK 14 days for 7 unlimited ticket). Thank you for pointing that out.

Woo hoo! Look at all those firsts!!!!!!

No problem! I was pretty sure you were coming from the UK and we don't have the 14 day tickets here, but was hoping it would work to your advantage!

I think I'm going to have my 'Ohana breakfast then head to Epcot and then pop back to MK before going back to the hotel to catch my transfer. I'd rather finish with a last look at the castle.

I had a really cheap poncho that last 2 weeks on my last trip, I just waiting for it to dry out, rolled it up and put it back in my bag.

 

[CMNJ]

Just catching up on all of the new posts....
I am going to look into ponchos there because the cheap ones we bought were like wearing a wet garbage bag and I still got soaked.

I am a little nervous about a touring plan since we are going to the 2nd party. I want to work everything out ahead of time!

We chose costumes last night and I began ordering everything. DD1 = Owelette DD2 = Catboy DH= Gecko Me= Romeo from PJMasks. So excited!

I had been considering the PJ masks as well but with the "no masks of any kind" rule for adults I wasn't sure if we should do it (2 adults and 1 child). I'm assuming it would be probably ok to put that eye mask on for a few pics but assuming we'd have to leave it off the rest of the time

Yes, I am saying this is doable BUT it depends on the crowds. It was reported last year that a few people were able to get both J&S and Dwarfs. Note you cannot spend time with the characters, just pose & go which can take away from your experience. Jack and Sally are well known to greet guests with a lot of warmth, Dwarfs ... well some have had amazing character interaction and some zero. Having said that are you willing to cut these characters off just to catch a FP?

I would do one priority character, check the second priority and if the line is too long look for another M&G with a short line or get party specific items: pin, food, SotMK card, Photo op. Then use my FP and return to the Dwarfs or just wait until the end of the night to see them.
