****OFFICIAL August, 2012 (PART 2)****

[Halloween Baby]

I have a split stay and had an issue with my ME as well. They had bumped me off of the arrival date so I only had ME returning to airport. I am anxiously awaiting my mickey mail again. you can see on Disneys page your reservations and it will show ME included(which mine did not.)

I leave in 2 weeks from tomorrow 11:30 am flight from philly.

Thanks for the new thread.

I had and am still having issues! I switched from ASMu to CSR a while back and the girl said the ME tags had not been mailed. When I got them, they still said ASMu. I called and was told to just use a black marker to block out the resort name and they would go by the bar code.

Now, I just added a day. I did the room before the flight. The first CM I talked to said I needed to call back with flight info to talk to ME and to them. She gave me the 800 number to ME but said that I need to update it through them too so it may be easier to just call them (they could talk to ME for me). When I called back, the ME updated it in their system but did not talk to ME. I asked him if I should call and he said it should automatically update. I asked about my tags since it says the wrong date and the wrong hotel now for the way home. He said I could talk to the new hotel when I check in. Does this sound right or should I call back? I don't want to wait until last minute and then have a whole ordeal that keeps us from our last day's festivities!!

TIA!!

We could start a FB group and post our trip photos and all to it. I post on another thread and we are all close and we have a FB group for sharing things we don't feel belong on the boards.

Hello follow August goers/obvious heat lovers!

Just found this new thread. The old one seemed like fun but I always felt like I was too late to join in (nothing to do with anyone else, just my own weird insecurities about popping in to conversations, lol). I'm just gonna jump into this one and hope I can keep up!

My dates: 8/25 - 8/30

My resort: Coronado Springs

My ADRs:
8/25: Wishes Dessert Party
8/26: LeCellier Steakhouse, 5:30pm
8/27: Cinderella's Royal Table, 8:30am
8/28: Kona, 8am
8/28: Liberty Tree Tavern, 5:30pm
8/29: Crystal Palace, 8:30am
8/29: Tutto Italia, 6:30pm

Other than when we have ADRs, our schedule is pretty much up in the air. After years of going commando style and planning every single minute we have decided to kind of leave a little of it open enough to go with the flow.

I seriously cannot wait for this trip! One of my closest friends is joining my mom and I this year. For the past twenty something years/trips it has just been my mom and I. So this year is going to have a bit of a different feel and dynamic to it. But I am sure it is going to be great!

As far as ringtones go: Mine is Good Life by oneRepublic which has made me think of Disney World since they started using it in their commercials (and did an adorable video for it set at MK).

My DS is the same way. We are flying out of JFK at 8:30 so we are leaving at 5:30. Those lines at security can be outrageous first thing in the morning. Last year we were in line for 40 minutes, and this year I have two first timers flying with me, and my mom only flew for the first time last year so I have to guide everyone through. I'd rather have time on our side.

I asked this on the transportation board but didn't get a response...do you think 5:30am is early enough for a 7:50am flight from LGA for 3 seasoned travelers who are traveling light? We're leaving from Tribeca, using Dial7 and flying JetBlue

I suppose I could ask my my SO but he's been so super busy with work and negotiating 2 job offers so we've had so many things to talk about other than Disney! And being in a temporarily long distance relationship,-we live 150 miles apart- we don't have as much talking time as we'd like. We'll be on vacation together in 12 days though and have oodles of time to talk about our next vacation...and other minor stuff, like finding a bigger apartment if he takes job #1 or moving across the country if he takes job #2! It's almost enough to distract me from my Disney planning. Almost.

So glad you joined us! LOVE that song and the video oneRepublic did! I've watched it every day this week! And you are right: Must love heat for August trips!

Congrats on all the exciting stuff going on!!! I like to leave 3 hours before my flight. That's my rule of thumb and has never done me wrong. LGA is a smaller airport, so I don't know how their security works. It may run slower because they will have less TSA staff, or quicker because there will be less passengers going through security. You should be fin, but I would probably leave at 5 just because I have OCD about being early and we also like to eat breakfast in the airport.

We will be staying at POFQ AUG 28th -Sept 5th.
I posted our ADR's on the previous thread last week but will PM them too.

So glad you joined us! LOVE that song and the video oneRepublic did! I've watched it every day this week! And you are right: Must love heat for August trips!

Seriously, I cannot get enough of that song or that video! Thanks to that video and the Disney ad campaign that song went from just being one of my favorites to one of those songs that makes me think of Disney and get all choked up. So for me it is the perfect ring tone. Takes me to my happy place every time my phone rings.

And as for the heat: The friend that is going with me has been to WDW several times already, but never in August. She was a little concerned that the OMG HOT LIKE FIRE heat + the OMG it's like breathing in soup humidity would be hard to handle. But once I explained how crowds are so much lighter then when she usually goes and that the heat just gives us a better excuse for mid-day naps and/or pool time she seemed to warm up to the idea. I'm hoping that she jumps on the August bandwagon by the end of the trip.

Oh my! I leave for less than 24 hours and lookey here.. a new August 2012thread! Way to go August peeps - keeping the excitement and anticipation alive!

I love that video too!
oneRepublic is such a fun band.
I am a singer (Starr is my real name tho from Phila. and we played with oneRepublic at the National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony show in DC this past December. The best part of the entire event was meeting KERMIT tho' - I am still excited about that one, LOVE THE FROG!!! The First Family didn't even excite me as much as the frog. (sorry mr president LOL)
Here's us backstage with Kermit before the show... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2205737593910&set=t.534309337&type=1
And here's oneRepublic meeting Kermit, too http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2213935118843&set=a.2213925998615.2099855.1561507828&type=3

Our resort is SSR...first time staying here since we just joined DVC in December...best move we ever made for Disney!

Getting DVC is the best thing we have ever done too!

We could start a FB group and post our trip photos and all to it. I post on another thread and we are all close and we have a FB group for sharing things we don't feel belong on the boards.

Great idea!

We are staying at Beach Club August 9-15

You'll be at the Beach Club the same time as moi!
