Oh, so I don't need to do anything until I get there? Can I do it at MK? We weren't planning on going to DS.

Any of the parks GS well have them, as well.

You can go online to request a card...Once you receive it, it looks like a credit card with a unique number...this number is attached to your Disney rewards account..you can go online and add points at anytime as long as the amount is over $10.

Thank you!

You get 60, but it'll say you don't have any tickets until tomorrow morning at 7am ET. That's how mine was anyway. It magically appeared right at 7!

Phew....I was stressing out!

Hello everyone! We are a family of 6 and 60 days out as of today, checking into CBR on 12/18. Soooo excited! We're going to Epcot on Monday the 19th, MK on the 20th, pool day on the 21st, and MK again on the 22nd. I was up at 6 am this morning and got all the fast passes I wanted so it's all starting to feel like it's actually happening, lol. We haven't been to Disney since December of 2013 and that was a rough trip (my dad had a grand mal seizure at AK) and I'm really hoping for a low-key, well planned, crisis-free week.

We will be heading down to Disney on 12/21 and staying at OKW. Our FP 60 day window opens this Saturday. We are scheduling FP's for 12/22-12/25. Has anyone been scheduling FP's on or around those days? Just curious how it's looking so far. I'd love to know what all is already gone for those days so that I can plan ahead better.

12/22 is the last day of the parks for us, and we'll be at MK that day. I was able to get all the fast passes I wanted for that day without any difficulties. On the 20th I got everything except there were no morning fast passes available for 7DMT, so I ended up getting the FP for that on the 22nd instead, and swapped it for the Belle ride on the 20th. Not a big deal because I had an extra MK day so there was some flexibility. You're definitely going to have the hardest time with the 24th and the 25th but the other days shouldn't be as bad! Good luck!

I haven't been since November 2013! Maybe we can get closer to every other year going forward!

When a friend asked me to help plan their last-minute Disney World trip Dec. 3-10, I realized that because of the 13 month special on annual passes we could join them for practically nothing.

Still haven't told the kid, who thinks we're just flying to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Might have to surprise her by driving under the Disney World sign!

I have a FP for star tours, but now I'm worried that it'll be too shakey for my DD4. What do you guys think? Same question for BTM. Should I change them? I already have Toy Story for DHS, so I'm not sure what I would even change star tours to if I did change it.

How about For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration? MY DW loved the show.

Got it....sorry, should've mentioned that!

No problem. How about the Voyage of The Little Mermaid or Disney Junior Live on Stage?

 

[jillyh]

I have 2 different children - both adults now, but took them to disney when they were 4/5. Star tours was not too shaky, but it was too scary. I warned both of them that it would seem real, but it wasn't. Didn't matter. They were both terrified, just weren't capable of understanding that it wasn't real. They did both love BTMRR.

Are those good uses of FP? But I suppose if there isn't anything else.... right? lol

 

[dnllmz]

I didn't realize that Star Tours might be scary. My dd4 might not like that then. I think I'll leave it for now. I know she'll like the shows so I can just switch out for one of them when we're down there.

You also have the Muppet Vision 3D as well. But I'm thinking that The Little Mermaid would be appropriate for her. Just my thoughts. Other than that, there's really not much left.

Such a great feeling

It's not really meant to be a scary ride, but it looks like you are going to crash - more than once, and my son's were convinced they were going to crash and die
