Impatiently waiting for ROL packages too!!! I'm checking every single day!

Booked our first trip back in 8 loooooong years - yay!! We'll be at Sports from 8/13-8/19 and bringing the 9YO for his first big boy trip (he went when he was a little under a year old, but doesn't remember anything about it of course).

also waiting on ROL dining!!!

 

[Mocharilla]

Duly noted. That is 2 families, plus mine. 2 to 3 more will be perfect. At this point, I think it is a pretty good probability that I will get enough to put together a share.

Count us in! I was worried we wouldn't be able to do a share this time around with the changes since our last trip, so I'm glad to hear it's still an option!

The RoL packages are gonna sell out fast I think after the publicity this week! Finally got the non excitable middle teen really excited for a Disney-only trip by showing her the Pandora videos out now. Last time I've seen her that excited for Florida we were at WWoHP LOL!

Have there been changes I don't know about in the Memory Maker system? Maybe you know something I don't. Apply to this facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1725988577673975/ that is where I manage the share.

Thanks to Cirque Du Soleil announcing the end of La Nouba . . .. I feel compelled to fork over some money, and find some time in my trip to go see it again. It is nearly criminal how that stinking mouse sucks the money out of my bank account lol. I know they added 2 new acts to the show not too long ago though, and we haven't seen them, and this would be our last chance, so what is a guy to do. Gotta go see La Nouba one last time before it ends it's run.

I am hoping that they bring a new Cirque show to Disney Springs, of course, then I'll have to fork over more money to see the new show. It is a viscous circle

I know! I was really hoping that since the reservations system seemed to be down for a while yesterday they were just plugging everything in. Apparently not. :/

I haven't been since pre-MDX and it wasn't even called Memory Maker, so I just mean all those changes. Will do!

Hi friends! I've decided to start pouring all my planning excitement for our August wedding/honeymoon/vacation into a PTR. If anyone's interested in following along, the link's in my signature. There's not much going on there yet, but I'll be posting some more updates real soon.

Ah ok, then we are good. No problem using MDX and Memory Maker, did it last year, works nicely.

Well, since we have a blizzard here in NY, and have been snowed in all day, I needed to do something to get my mind off the 2 feet of snow, and freezing temperatures, so I bought our tickets to see La Nouba on August 10th

I am considering buying tickets for La Nouba also. Have you been before? We have never seen it, so though we should since it is ending this year.

We have seen it twice before. An amazing show for sure! We took our son when he was 4. He wouldn't sit thought anything at that age. La Nouba, he sat, quietly, eyes fixed on the stage until about 15 minutes before the end, then asked once if it was almost over. I had never seen anything keep his attention like that!

They added two new acts fairly recently. Those we haven't seen yet, so figured this was our chance.

o.m.g. WHEEEEEENNNNN will they release the RoL packages? Or at the very least update the park hours to show AK open at night. So frustrating that we need to plan a year in advance, yet they wait 'til one or two months out to release the information (that we need to plan properly). And then by that time, because they forced everyone to make their plans MONTHS ago, we can't even make plans to include the newly released information, because EVERYTHING is already booked up. Really, really annoys me.

Right there with you... sooo frustrated!!! Been trying daily for over a month and it's getting old!

[Monykalyn]

Well-after not wanting to go crazy with ADR's I have 3 PPO breakfasts-doubtful I will keep them all but it is hard to plan without park hours final or even RoL packages yet!
