Good luck with your FP+ this morning (tonight for you!) guys

I'm so excited about the Frozen party. My niece has been talking so much about how she wants to meet Olaf just as much as Anna and Elsa, and now she will be able to see him properly rather than just 'kind of' in the parade

To say I just booked tonight I did okay!

Snagged 5 ADRs (couldn't get BOG but that was expected -- did get Rainforest Cafe, Tusker House, Rose & Crown, Hollywood & Vine, and Askershus)

Got all the FP we wanted including Seven Dwarves, Beauty & the Beast, Lion King, Finding Nemo and -- best of all -- Anna & Elsa!

41 days left to go!!

Very excited about the fireworks! Haven't seen fireworks at HS in a long, long time.

My daughter is s excited! And I am excited about the fireworks at night.

I'm excited about this too. I'm also thinking that it will draw the crowds away from the MK at night.

Haha. You may see us Thursday! We have breakfast at Tusker House at 8 that morning. We actually are eating at Sci Fi Tuesday as well, but we have lunch reservations.


I checked and our reservation is at 8:10! We will see you


The Frozen DHS stuff interests me but not my boys, I may have to sneak off for a bit to check it out.

You'll have to look for us! It's just myself and Jem - I'm the redhead in my user icon and she's got blonde hair.

I will! I'm a strawberry blonde If I could figure out how to upload a picture.....



I figured out how to add a personal picture as my avitor! It is from our trip 4 years ago....The boys are way bigger now

Hi! We are going to WDW in late July into early August.

7/27 - 7/30 VWL
7/30 - 8/4 POFQ

Hi Marshay, I recognize you from the AutoTrain thread. Are you taking the AT down? If so, we will be on the same train! We depart Lorton on 7/26 and arrive Stanford 7/27. Let me know, I would try to find you at the terminal to say hello!

Hi! We are actually driving this trip. My parents are taking the kids to Myrtle Beach first, so we are driving to MB and picking them up...then driving down to FL. Our return is tbd, as we might go to SW afterwards.

LAST THING: One of my DHS days is showing a "ghost" FP+ for ToT for three of us in addition to what I booked. It's totally weird. It's been showing up like that for weeks, since I first booked them! We have this, which is what I want so all good there:

• Toy Story Midway Mania 6:45-7:45pm - all 5 of us
• Star Tours - 8:00-9:00pm -- 3 of us
• Tower of Terror - 8:00-9:00pm -- 2 of us
• Fantasmic PS - 9:55-10:15pm -- all 5 of us

but it is also showing that I have:

• Tower of Terror - 8:50-9:50 -- for 3 of us, and not the same 3 as are on the Star Tours FP+, a different combo of 3. What?!

There's even a note that the time conflicts with our other ToT FP+s! How strange is that!? Has this happened to anyone else? Were you able to actually use it? I've tried to go in and change it to a different experience, but it doesn't show up on the screen to make changes (but it does show up when I look at individual day FP+s, whole itinerary FP+s, etc.). I'm figuring it's just a glitch and not planning to use those.

Yup, I have a "ghost" FP+ for only 2 of us for the Mine Train in the evening on a day when all 3 of our "real" MK FP+ are for earlier.

I'm sure it's not real, because when I try to edit it, it disappears and I can't change or remove it. I really just want to remove it so I don't have to worry about it interfering with getting a 4th FP for our group. I figure if it's still showing up on MDE that day, I will talk to a CM and see what's up.

The funniest part is, we are a group of 4: 2 couples. The ghost FP is only for me and my friend's husband! So if it is real, I guess I'll be riding with him, leaving my husband and his wife behind We'll be spouse swapping!

That is great that you were able to get Anna & Elsa!

About BOG... when my friend was there in October, she totally shocked me by telling me this story: While at MK, a CM told her that a certain number of BOG ADRs are held for the same day. He instructed her to come to BOG right at park opening on a different day, and ask if they had any available reservations for that evening. The next day they went to MK for RD and did exactly what he said. Sure enough, they had a bunch of ADRs available and they got to pick the time they wanted for dinner. I couldn't believe it!

I don't know if this was a fluke, or if this happens regularly, but if you happen to be at MK for RD, you may want to try it!

And just to add to this......I had a friend who booked a last minute trip over the Easter weekend. She asked the concierge at Pop if he could book BOG for herself and her son that evening. He said, "no problem". (I said, really?????). She even got a decent time. I guess you just never know. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask!

I decided today that I NEED a pre-park opening CP reservation. ME-the girl who never had any TS meals and hated the idea of being tied to a schedule needs more ADRs than the 5 I already have. So I've begun obsessively checking. The available times for breakfast changed from this morning to tonight, so people must be cancelling and rescheduling constantly!

Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you- it took me 7 weeks of obsessive stalking to get one!!

I had a different issue but still an issue containing MDE and fastpasses and tickets and such and they gave me the tech number at 1-407-939-3471 and the guy had things straightened out in no time, if you're concerned.
for Disney this time!

Time is going by soooooo fast .
