why the week of Aug. 23rd seems like it's going to be so busy? It looks like that week (and half the week before) is blocked off from the new offers and playing with the reservation website it doesn't look like there is much availability onsite. We've been booked for 2 rooms at POP (2 adults/3 kids) since March with a room only 40% off code and I was so hoping it wouldn't be that crowded (isn't late August supposed to be less crowded?). Our friends were there the week of July 6th and said crowds were pretty low. We aren't doing free dining so I can only hope most people will be relaxing in restaurants and not in line!!

I can tell you why that week is so busy it's because my family is going. I think we are cursed!!! Also since we will be there it will probably reach record temps. too

We're going to be there Aug 5 - 13th, for our longest Disney vacation yet! Staying at the Ft. Wilderness Cabins and super excited about it. Oh, I so need a vacation, too!

[dancemomnj]

Magical Express tags came yesterday!!!

 

[CanadianPaco]

I can't wait!!!!! We arrive Aug 24th!

 

[spatulaqueen27]

We arrive Aug 10th and we haven't received anything. I keep asking my TA but she is blowing me off. I will be talking to some supervisor if I don't hear anything by this week.

I can't even call Disney to make sure my ressie is in there....or can I?

WoW! We arrive August 17th and last week we got out ME stuff and this week we got our DW Reservation stuff. I booked us directly through Disney though. I would totally get in touch with that TA.


Good Luck!

 

[mickeymyfavorite]

our magical express tags came today!! oh! it seems more real, trip is paid!!! need to try and make some ADR's but if I can't get them its ok! were just going to wing it and enjoy!!!!! very very very happy! and getting excited by the minute!

Now if we can only get LeCeller as an ADR

 

[spatulaqueen27]

Just Called CAA (I am Canadian). They said that it is very normal to get our stuff within 2-3 weeks. Maybe because the information has to cross the border is why it is delayed. If I don't hear anything by end of week, I should contact the TA again.

ME isn't an issue as we are renting a car.
Well that makes me feel better.
Thanks for the advice!

When are you looking for LeCellier mickey? There is a SMALL chance we are going to SeaWorld on the 15th and we have a ressie for 6 ish. If we decide to cancel we can give you the ressie. We will decide before we leave.


ETA: Darn Nevermind...looks like we are going to be in the park after all.

 

[Mister-Disney]

18 days! WOOHOO! We're off on the 7th of August! I'm too excited! As soon as I get there, it's off to the Magic Kingdom!
