8/1 to 8/5-Darkside then /85 hopping over to WDW! Staying at the CSR.

8/5 AK and the DHS for fanatasmic
8/6 EP
8/7 MK/DTD

Then home, where I will promptly NEED to start planning another trip!

 

[huggiebear23]

A photopass share splits the cost of the photopass cd. Usually 5-6 people share the cost. 1 person hosts the share, collects the money, sets up the account and makes copies of the photos onto a cd (unless you pay for the download only). Everyone uploads their photopass card to the same account. It takes trust but I have never had an issue with the host taking great care of the share. There may be room in my August share. PM me if you would be interested in joining. Ther person who is running the share did my December share and she was fabulous! There is a Facebook page for Disney photopass shares since the Dis does not allow the shares anymore.

Can you pm me? I'm on my phone it doesn't allow me to pm you.. I've done the share 2x loved it!!

 

[lovenerds81112]

We will be doing the wishes dessert party on the same night!!

COOL! I have never done it before, I wanted to 2 years ago but we weren't able to get a reservation. I am really excited about it.

Hi all! I'm finally getting around to posting my ADRs:

8/9 - Chef Mickey's 5:00 p.m.
8/10 - O'Hana 5:40 p.m.
8/11 - Akershus 8:00 a.m.
8/12 - H&V 11:15 a.m. 1900PF 5:35 p.m.
8/13 - CP 8:00 a.m.

...and my park days:
8/9 arrival and possibly MK for afternoon parade!
8/10 MK
8/11 EPCOT
8/12 DHS
8/13 MK

As for Memory Maker I am very torn! Got PP+ last August for the first time and said it would be the only time since we had a long 10 day visit. I just loved it so much that I am considering it again even though this year is a much shorter trip. Haven't quite made a decision yet but am leaning toward....yes!LOL!

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

Our park plans are as follows:

August 17th - no idea as hubby is surprising me!

Oh, fun!! Has he given you any hints at all???

 

[Scrap_Vamp]

Happy Sunday!!

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

He has been giving me a clue every month since September but I'm really confused as they seem to contradict each other!

We are planning on a Wishes cruise in the evening and he said we will need to order private dining as we won't have time for a TS meal beforehand...

Do you think it might be something off-site? Like a day at Discovery Cove, maybe?

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

Happy Sunday!!

To you too, Kristina!

Its cold here today, but the sun is shining .

 

[Mrs. M. Mouse]

Happy Sunday!!

Yep and it's Sunday of a long weekend for us!! Family day weekend so far we've had dinner and a nerf gun fight in the dark Friday, gone to a lacrosse game last night, going to the Lego movie today and likely to the zoo tomorrow.....can I go back to work to rest lmao!!! Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

 

[Gina-Gina-Bo-Bina]

Yep and it's Sunday of a long weekend for us!! Family day weekend

Us too!

Of course, DH and DS are both working on Monday (and DS has an 8 am basketball practice tomorrow ) but at least I am off!

 

[Scrap_Vamp]

Do you think it might be something off-site? Like a day at Discovery Cove, maybe?

It could well be off site, although we have done DC twice so not sure? I think it is something involving the whole group, and I know he asked a couple of my friends for their opinion!!

 

[GoofyMB]

I have posted to this thread a few times and been following it for a while but just realized I did not add my info for page 1. I will be at Pop August 18 - 25 with DS 19, DS 16, DD 14 & DS 13. I get to make dining on Wednesday. So excited to be able to share this vacation and planning with them.

Long weekend for us too! Went bowling today. Sleep, sleep, sleeping tomorrow. Then ADR day on Tuesday.

 

[2jboysmom]

Finally booked for August 8-16th 2014. Pop Century, wanted to try something new but the kids said it wouldn't be Disney without POP! No ADR's yet. Now for planning,

August 6-13, BWV- 2nd Wedding Anniversary trip
Trip planning update! I am patiently (or IMpatiently) waiting for Southwest to open up the flight window so that we can purchase our flights. We can purchase our flight from PIT to MCO, but we can't buy the return trip though! We are eying the one that leaves at 8:30-ish on August 6. We would have to be at the Airport around 7, and still leave time to park our car and get shuttled to the terminal. We also have to worry about getting through downtown Pittsburgh at rush hour on a Wednesday morning! UGH. Oh well, I sometimes go through town at 6AM and things are usually ok.
I made more ADR's!
On Wednesday night August 6, we are having dinner at House of Blues at DTD.
On Thursday August 7 we are having breakfast at Crystal Palace at 8:15 AM. I am so excited, I have never eaten there before! And I LOVE Pooh! We will probably hang out in the Magic Kingdom for a few hours until the heat gets to be too much for us, then head back to the Boardwalk for some pool time. We will probably end up in DHS that evening. Since I am a teacher we don't have much choice as to when we get to go....it's summer or nothing. We have found ways to avoid the heat, however. We (like most of you, I'm sure) get to the parks early in the AM, then usually trek back to the resort to rest and swim, or we hang out in "cooler" attractions (easy to do in Epcot Future World). Then we go back to the parks in the evening and stay as late as we can. I also found these nifty things: http://www.amazon.com/Frogg-Togg-Chilly-Pad-Blue/dp/B003YF7W22
They get cooler when you get them wet, I am anxious to try them out!

As far as other days, we aren't really sure yet-We don't like to meticulously plan everything we are doing each day when it's just the two of us. I'm sure if we had kids we would plan more, but as of now we just like to take it easy and do whatever we feel like doing. We of course like to plan our ADR's, and I'm sure soon we will be starting to put in FP+ reservations. DH still has 6 days left on a no-expiration park hopper pass, so I will probably get mine from Undercover Tourist soon. We had the distinct pleasure of having annual passes from August 2012-13, and we really took advantage of it and made it to the World 3 different times- the first was our honeymoon, then we made 2 other trips down with DH's family. (DH's brother is in DVC, and he is taking us to Aulani in June!!!)

So, I have a question. When I went in to make our ADR's there was no place to put in that we were celebrating our anniversary. Am I missing the "celebrations" part that used to be there?

We will be there the same time as you we check out the 15th. I feel the same as your boys.. Disney just isn't the same.. Happy we get to walk over to aoa

I called and had them add birthdays and anniversary to all adrs.

Crystal place is amazing!! Especially if you get an ADR before park opening.
