Fastpass+ is great. You can schedule your fast pass times in advance through the website or the mobile app. Then you just use your magicband at the start of the fastpass line and walk on in.

We're going in Jan also - first ever trip!!!!!!!!!!

Travelling a fair bit to get there (just 9704 miles )

12 nights at POR

We're not good with the heat, or crowds, so hoping Jan will work okay from that side of things

My husband and I both went as kids, then together as a married couple. Now we are taking our 4 yo DS and our 7 month old (at the time of travel) DD! We are celebrating our DS's 5th birthday! We are staying at the AoA and upgrading to a Nemo Suite for the last two nights of our trip!! He has no idea that we are going! I told our DD, though! LOL! She promised not to tell him!
Sorry for all of the exclamation points, but I am super excited!!!!!!!

We'll be there January 24-February 1st! We are SO excited because we are taking my Dad and he's never been! He'll be 74 when we go! We are staying at Fort Wilderness and I'm busy researching decorations for our campsite! DH and I were there last in 2012. Can't wait to go back!

 

[hummingbird149]

I can't wait to go back through the thread and read about everyone's upcoming trip!

 

[Punchy]

We're so excited, and counting down!

They just announced that Splash will be down for most of January, though.

I'm struggling not to be too disappointed, but it's my and my son's favorite ride.

 

[hummingbird149]

DH was able to get all the ADR's we wanted with the exception of Crossroads at House of Blues. Hoping something will open up before we go. We were able to get into BoG, which is the one I wanted the most. I may be 52, but I'm still a kid when it comes to all things Disney!

You make me feel like I have a little more work to do before my trip! I have the room booked and ADR's done (although I would like to tweak a few of them still). Have you done Kids Nite Out before and if so can you give first hand knowledge of it? Also, what did you do for the reveal video as that sounds like a great idea.

I received an email yesterday that there are now discounts for Disney Visa Card members. There were 2 discounts listed and included several dates in January through March. The discounts were the "Stay Play and Dine" or a certain percent off your room rate. I called and chose the Stay Play and Dine which was a better discount then the percent off the room rate. I suppose everyone would need to price their own to see which is a better fit for your vacation.

The discounts will be open to the public soon. If you are a Disney Visa Card holder, you might call and check it out. It might be a Magical Day for you.

I applied the Stay, Play, and Dine last night to my existing reservation and saved about 25% which was greatly needed/appreciated. The general public offer will be out on 10/9 so those with the Disney VISA have two more days to get this discount before it goes quickly. Here is hoping that everyone is able to get a discount on their trip!

Anxiously waiting for Thursday!

Hoping for a room only discount at POFQ!!!

25% off would be sweet!!
