wow, got an email with LOTS of changes in the crowd tracker for my week (13th). Good changes too so hopefully it doesn't change back at some point. Looks like they way overestimated HS crowds for some reason. Maybe there was a glitch in their calculations or software or whatever.

good morning April DISers! Nothing new on the planning front here....just trying to enjoy the holidays Only thing we are contemplating is our BOG ADR for April 12th....our arrival day. Its not exciting me??? Where would you eat on your first night? Arriving at 10:45 am at MCO, checking into AOA, then heading to MK. family of 4.... 2 boys 12, 14 both are huge Disney fans and like to eat.

We don't go to a park on our arrival day. We are eating at Boma at AKL. From there we'll head to DTD, then catch the boat back to our resort, POFQ. Since you plan to go to MK on your arrival day, why not skip to one of the nearby resorts for dinner? 'Ohana at Poly would be my pick.

 

[momtwoboys]

Booked Ohana instead of bog we are not pushing to do much in mk that day anyway just see the castle get in a ride or 2 and have an early dinner!

 

[TJDisneymama]

that's from Touring Plans

 

[Hannikins]

I got the touring plans email to, happy days!

I always do Chef Mickey on arrival day. Really sets the mood.

The touring plan email made my day!

 

[momtwoboys]

chef mickey's was our tradition years ago...1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, then the food went downhill so we stopped we went with Ohana....for now

 

[wannabemomma12]

Hi!! I just found this group!! We are going for our first time in April!!
April 21-26 staying at ASMu

 

[miprender]

flying out of BDL, snagged great prices on each leg the day they were released!

Booked Ohana instead of bog we are not pushing to do much in mk that day anyway just see the castle get in a ride or 2 and have an early dinner!

Love Ohana's

OMG same here. We ALWAYS did Chef Mickey on arrival day. But food quality went down as prices went up.... and now we also do Ohana.

 

[wdw4rfam]

Geez, after seeing the nose dive of crowd levels for our week...I dont know if I want them to issue a discount to save us money, or if I am wishing they wont to keep those down!!!

 

[ja23k]

So excited to see the crowd levels go down! Thank you for posting that info!

Still looking for airfare. The prices from MA are painful. Has anyone tried cheapair.com (not to be confused with cheapoair.com)?

i got an alert overnight that Jet Blue flights for 4/12 had gone down to $75. Of course by the time I go online they had gone back up to $400-$500. I think I need to pull an all-nighter and just check airfare every 5 minutes one night

 

[librarygeek]

Our flights from Long Island are down to $280, but we're still pulling for them to get below $250 or we'll drive.
