Care to share how it went?

Went fine, good everything I was looking for.

I've also just booked for the after hours event on the 12th... Quite pricey, but hopefully worth it!

Glad to learn you got everything you were looking for! Our LL booking day is approaching - trying to get the plan/booking order finished so that it turns out the same here.

8 days away and I’ve acquired a cold as of today. Taking measures to knock it out and I am hoping time is on my side. Fingers crossed!

Oh no!!! Hopefully it will clear up soon! We have had one going through here and it took about a week, so *crossing fingers* that you will be good to go since you have 8 days!

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon

I'm really paranoid about bugs at the moment - I've committed to hand sanitizer/wipes as much as I can. Although I was on the London underground today, which was rather busy, so worried I may have picked something up there

I received a fresh order of KN95’s for the flight, all kinds of Clorox/Lysol and sanitizing wipes, I’m staying home as much as I can the next several days as well just to be sure I don’t get worse or pick up something else. I had a pretty bad cold about a week before my first trip as an adult (honeymoon) years ago. It got better but the first day in the parks back then something kicked it off again. I don’t remember it being too bad because I didn’t have to stay in the room or anything but I’d like for that to not happen again.

The last time I was sick was last Christmas when I must’ve picked up a bug on the plane to see my friends in another state. It knocked me out and my buddy also for a week. It was a bummer canceling over half of our plans but we made up for it during week 2. I don’t need that to happen on this trip because there’s a lot more $$ on the line among other things.

I got my flu shot 2 weeks ago for the first time in years so I hope that covers me at least a bit. I’m a bit of a worrier but trying to remain calm.

Wishing you the best of luck and to stay healthy!

Just saw on Blog Mickey that Frozen Ever After in Epcot is closing for refurbishment on January 26 and will reopen sometime in February.

we'll be there on the 25th... hope it's not a mad house and we can get to do that ride! It's been a few years since we've done it..

Actually if you are going to get a cold this time of year (and who doesn't get one??), this is perfect timing! You should be feeling back to yourself right in time to head out to Disney!

That is my hope!

Just booked a totally spontaneous quick trip so my 7 year old son can say goodbye to his favorite ride, Dinosaur! 1/29-1/31. Between the AP, flight points, and hotel discount, it basically just made financial sense #mickeymath Now just debating whether to tell my son soon, so he can get excited and help plan, or just surprise him when I pick him up from school to head to the airport??

I'd vote for telling him about a week beforehand. I would think he might like to plan a little and he might want to share his excitement with his friends beforehand.
And thanks for reminding me about Dinosaur-it reminds me to avoid AK that weekend.
