I just submitted my room request at BCV - hopefully they can meet it.

What’s the best way to submit a room request? We just have one, connecting rooms.

I did mine through my touring plans subscription. I'm not sure if there is another way.

I would call. I just did my online check-in, connecting rooms wasn't an option. I am staying at CBR. Disney Reservation, 407-560-2428

The level of busy here this week is insane. We had six phones going this morning to try to get the virtual que for GOTG and no luck. Sold out by 7:01 and the app just crashes. We don't even get a message. Travelling with teens. They are unimpressed

Pre-pandemic January was already bucking the trend of being ‘low crowds.’ With the 2nd being New Years observed, the marathon weekend, and MLK day coming up I’d expect the lightest crowds will be the 10th-12th. 2020 was moderate to heavy almost all January, and 2019 only had a handful of light days.

Today doesn’t seem too terrible though. I will report back tomorrow evening when I get to MK.

My family will be checking into the Poly on Wednesday 1/4, staying until Friday 1/13.

I’ll be running the marathon on Sunday; wish me luck!

Welcome! You've been added to post #1 on page 1 and post #656 on page 33!

Best wishes for a great marathon!

Trying to tie up loose ends now since we're in the final countdown

We leave next thursday 1/12! It got here soooo fast. If anyone traveling early in the month has Memory Maker, I would love to see non-holiday magic shots or any lantern pictures. I know they added a Sorcerer Hat Lantern at HS. That one is on my list!

We didn't get Memory Maker, but we saw someone taking a Tinkerbell lantern shot. I believe it was at night at the UK pavilion in EPCOT.

We will be staying at AKL Jan 28- Feb 4th. This is our first trip to Disney as adults and with our daughter. We are so excited to watch her experience the magic!

Welcome! You've been added!

Alright, I'm back from our WDW vacation! We had a great time!

I think I'm caught up on this thread. I'll be reading up on news and then posting anything relevant here.

So excited for everyone there now, and those who will be visiting this month!

 

[snowangel72]

So a worker told me GOTG sold out in 5 seconds at 7am today! But since we were at Epcot we could try again at 1pm and we got it!!!!!!! We started refreshing at 12:57pm. And it was worth it. My 17 and 19 year olds all said it was THE best ride of their lives. And in fact the BEST experience of their lives, better than any concert etc. And coming from teens who are not impressed with anything this means a lot!!!!

Just arrived at Beach Club. My room was ready 2 hours early (yay!). Sitting at the quiet pool for a few before going to pick up my groceries. Then it’s off to Beaches and Cream for an early dinner.

I just saw a post that said Beaches & Cream had a kitchen fire the other day and was only serving “cold” items...you might want to call and check...Have a great trip! Just in case ... We enjoyed food at “the Fountain” over at the Dolphin.

Beaches and cream was fully operational.

2 days! I’m working on last minute dining reservation changes now that our beloved Buffalo Bills are playing at 1 pm on Sunday… we have a lunch ressie at Homecomin’ during that time but I also just made one at Splitsville through Open Table so we can watch the game. I usually don’t hold extra ressies but we really want to go to Homecomin’ and may decide to watch part of the game elsewhere and then go there anyway, but I’m working on moving it. I picked up a second one there for Friday but that’s not the most ideal with our other plans (it will interrupt our eating our way through the Festival of the Arts booths) so I’ve got Mouse Dining and Touring Plans reservation finders both set up for Saturday and I’m hopeful we will get something then. If we get one on Saturday, we will go there instead of Wine Bar George, where we all have been a few times. Whew! Last minute changes are always an adventure.

Great evening at MK yesterday using stacking. Got to park at 5:30, rode Pirates, BTMRR, Haunted Mansion between 5:30-7. Then we went to the Treats and Seats party. Glad I sprung for the seats because my family was really tired, but that’s likely the last time I do that since the desserts were mostly meh. Then we rode Space Mtn, Peter Pan and Jungle Cruise between 8:30-10pm. It did help that it was a lowish crowd day overall which meant that I could juggle things around pretty much at will. G+ allowed us to bang out a bunch of rides in the evening that would have taken us hours longer to complete.
