64 days!!!​

I got wind of the sale for the resorts, and decided NOW is the time! It will be our first trip for all of us. Its me , hubby and our 2.5 yr old daughter, who will turn 3 during our vacation!!!!!
I booked wilderness lodge so my hubby would fall in love with Disney and want a return trip! I secretly want to book Art of Animation since my daughter loves NEMO.. sigh! SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!!

What sale is that? I would love to either 1) save money or 2) upgrade

I do have an AP

Probably the discounts out to the public -RO and pkg discount. AP should be out also.

It actually was. Only thing I didn't like was you had to pick from their suggested times and then go back in after to see all the time slot options.

Ok, so we choose one of their recommended times, and then can change it? Also, how do you choose just one at a park? I was trying to book BTMRR, but it kept trying to give me other MK attractions...I was hoping to get one there, and then one at another park...can that not be done? (Ill be honest, I haven't read all the info on here about it...seems overwhelming).

3 FP+, one park only.

Just got a push notification from MDE to make FP+ reservations tomorrow. I had no idea they were doing that. Not that I didn't already know but I thought that was cool that they sent a reminder.

As ck said, it's 3 FP+ in one park per day. But yeah, it will basically give you 3 recommended time choices. You have to pick one of their time suggestions and then you can choose to modify the times and modify each ride time to something different.

I'm just curious why you wait until the day before to do online check in. Just your process? Or another reason? Thanks!

We'll be at AKL - Jambo House from 2/22 - 3/4. I'm so excited! We were there in September with some family and testing MyMagic+ already. For our family it was GREAT but our cousin's family had some kinks to work out. We are so excited for this trip since we have a good idea of what to expect from MM+.

At the end of this trip we'll have 3 magic bands each! We have a "split" stay in the same resort (different room types) and we get a magic band for each! This is great for my 5 year old daughter who wanted three different colors.

I have most of our ADRs but since it's such a long trip, I am really struggling with the last two days. Any suggestions are welcome. We usually do one ADR a day unless we have an early breakfast or it's my birthday (Feb 24th!) then we do dinner as well. I am most excited because this trip we are able to try a bunch of new restaurants and still go to our favorites!

We got our flash drive a couple of days ago and it's pretty neat. There is a cool magnet in the back of the book that has all your important dates (Fastpass+, online check in, etc.) and that was kinda personal and neat.


I don't know if you all can tell but I'm kinda excited.

I wondered this too. What's the JIC? Feel like I'm missing something. Hope it's not about room requests. I made mine over the phone today and plan to do it again tomorrow with online check in but if online check in kills your requests- don't want to do that!

Have any of you been the first week of February? What were your experiences with crowds? Weather?

We are going the 2nd (Super Bowl)-8.

We went in past Feb and loved it. Crowds we low for the most part. Weather was mid 70s to low 80s during the day. We did want pants and hoodies early morning and after the sun went down. We are from MI so found the weather to be amazing!!!

I was there for a conference (and some fun) Feb 7-11,2013. I thought the crowds were the lowest in all my experience (usually go in October) and the weather was perfect.

Thanks!!! I've been more worried about cross than weather. Hoping for 80's!

 

[summermac]

We'll be there Feb 11-Feb 17.

We arrive on the same day! We were there last February too, but a few days later. There was one day where crowds were ridiculous (I have a feeling that it was Valentines Day but I might be wrong) but the rest of the time it was great (even better at Universal which was amazing because our boys are big fans of superheroes, Dr Seuss and Harry Potter!!)
The weather was good too...although anything better than the -20c we're having at the moment would be great right now!!!
