This morning I am http://s362.photobucket.com/user/threehockeyfans/media/70s_zps3692366a.jpg.html 79 days to go!! I know there are also a few others celebrating the drop from the 80's to the 70's with me today. Woohoo!

Missed mine - we are already at 76!

89 days for me today!!!!

Booked all my fast pass + at midnight last night. Got everything we wanted including Elsa and Anna. The times they give are so bizarre, but you can go in and edit and I switched all the times to what I wanted. It was easy. It took a little less than an hour to arrange all 10 days. Tired this morning but it was well worth to waiting until the morning.

Yay! Congrats! That's a great feeling I bet!

Whoa!!! It's coming quick!

We are starting our drive on Aug. 15th. (So I'm going to count that day) It's day 77 for us.

Hi guys~
Do you think its necessary to book the FP+'s at midnight when my window opens? Frankly I just cant stay up that late~I have 2 jobs and sleep is precious lol. Do you think that if I book at 7am the next morning I'll have a good chance at getting what I want (FYI- We're not interested in any character greetings)

Thanks and have a great day!

I'm at day 67...this is so much worse than day 187, lol. I was anxious for it to be ADR day, but FP+ and online check-in day makes everything seem so REAL.

Our 60 day mark is also the last day of school, so this next week is either going to draaaaaaaaaaaaaag or zip by. I'm hoping for the zipping!!

79 days to go.. i've already redone my adr's approximately 20 times.

 

[syp4dis]

We're also at 79 days! Considering it was about 240 when I initally booked, this feels like it's right around the corner!

I would imagine that as long as you don't want Anna and Elsa you should be fine. 7DMT would probably be your next priority, but I see some availability for that now at 30 days out.

We leave for Syracuse the night before our official travel date (our flight departs at 7:22 am the next morning ) , so I count our first day of vacation as the date we leave the house as well .

78 days!!!

It seems like only Anna and elsa require that. If you're going in the first half of august, you might want to do the mine train, soarin, and toy story too. Not sure when those will be running out in the busy summertime.

75 days for me!!!!

15 days for fastpass-I've mapped out a tentative schedule for booking them. After tons of anxiety, it seems like it's going to be ok now that I've written them down (mostly thanks to being there for so long and having so many days in MK). I really want to be able to take it easy and possibly do half day park days, but I want to do a lot too!

Still debating whether or not I'm going to stay up til midnight. I figure I could try to book Anna and Elsa for the last day of our trip, and that could help me since we have 9 days. It's not totally necessary, since my daughter won't know what she's missing, but I might give it a shot. She IS a Frozen freak!

We're at 78 days! I'm in the same situation. I've mapped out a FP+ schedule. I'm such a planner--I hope it will be easy to get the times I'm looking for. I used touring plans to set up my park days & thought it was crazy fun!!

I'm also going to try for Anna & Elsa. My 2-year-old daughter also loves them, but if we can't get it, she won't even realize it was an option. Definitely don't want to wait in line for hours!

Our school calendar start date was just pushed back 2 weeks which meant later touring!!!! Please change my dates from 8/2 to 8/9 to 8/17 to 8/24!!!! We've never had the chance to book this late! Are the crowds significantly lower?

 

[alicat8]

The crowds are definitely better!! Good change!

Heidi-my daughter is 2 too-first trip with her. I'm pumped!!

That's awesome! I've been meaning to do that for the 3 years we've been in our house....some day....

I remember loving Avatar, but being so emotionally overwhelmed by it that I thought I'd never be able to watch it again! (That kind of thing really gets to me.) I'm sure they will be able to do amazing things with it.
