I just wanted to announce to everyone that Im now at the 130 day mark meaning I am so much closer to the 90 day mark and then to the 60 and eventually 30 days. Just had to let everyone know.

I'll with you today, you come with me tomorrow. 131 here. Have you got your touring plans worked out? I'm still refining. To EMH or not EMH, that is the question!

 

[Bethpremier]

Flipflopmom,

Absolutely! We are going with the EMH. We are going to do the AM EMH in the morning and take a break in the afternoon and then return to the park that has the PM EMH in the evening. Ive also got the dining arranged around this. If things get screwy, it would only involve the PM EMH. Apparantly, alot of people vouch heavily for the AM EMH so those should work.

Bottom line: Im not worried. If I end of changing everything, its ok. Ill be at Disney!

What are you thinking as far as touring plans right now?

PS: Are you really staying at Bay Lake??? If so, please oh please come back with lots of pictures for us.

Yes, we are staying at BLT. I cannot wait! I will definitely have pictures!
I keep running things through my head.... Ugh. We did July last year, so I can vouch for the heat of the day being yuk! I promised DH I wouldn't run him ragged, so he let us buy DVC. I have to hold to that promise, even though it is killing me! Right now, we are checking in on Sunday. I would like to hit MK that day, dinner is at 5, so I am thinking after dinner for a while, don't know if we'll last till EMH is over.

Monday, MK all day, 10:25 breakfast at CP.

Tues,we have a TH at AK at 8am, RD is at 9. I'm hoping we can be done shortly after lunch time, back to BLT for a swim and nap. I want to hit Epcot EMH that evening.

Wed. The promised off day. I'll be walking with the girls to MK at some point, depending on when they get up. Or, I might just get up early and walk over by myself. Dinner at 1900 at 5, then DHS EMH. There are only 5 things we want to do there. B&B show, VOTLM, RnR for DD and Me, Star Tours for DH and DD. Maybe Backlot Tour, DD wants to see the chicken coop from the Hannah Montana movie. I am hoping we can do RNR, ST, VOTLM, and the Playhouse Disney Dance Party. That will only leave the B&B show, which I might could skip, if that's all that's left.

Thurs - MK AM EMH, then over to DHS to finish up. Dinner at WCC to visit our honeymoon resort

Friday Epcot
Sat-check out.
I had to take off the 19th due to class for my Master's Program, so it's a shorter trip, but there's always next year!


Got yours nailed down yet?

 

[Bethpremier]

I wanted to bad to stay at BLT but it didnt work out. Have you ever eaten at the Crystal Palace before? I am very excited about this. We never have. We should run into each other according to our plans. We are a group of mostly 7 adults. The youngest will have just turned 17 at that time. This is the first time EVER we have done the "real" disney experience as a family. Never stayed on property together before or did the restuarants. I am SOOOO excited.

 

[chefmb]

Just made my res yesterday for June 12-22 at POP. We'll be celebrating younger DS's high school graduation and 18th birthday. Might be last big family vacation--older son is 20! I figure we can start saving now for BIG family vacation with our grandchildren--hopefully 10 years out or more!! Not trying to rush that, but definitely want to be able to do that when the time comes!

 

[disneynutsss]

I am going from 2/19 - 2/22!! 9 more days!!! Cant wait!!!

 

[DisneyBelle27]

I am so excited and it's all because Disney extended their 25%offvalue/30%moderate/35%deluxe deal through August 14th! I just upgraded our 7 nights at Pop to 6 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge (which is my ABSOLUTE dream Disney resort, since my dream vacation is an African Safari)!! I am so happy right now!!!!!!! And it's all because I happened to see the discount thread at the top of a page on DISboards!

 

[mousketexan]

I just booked us for June 9-13 at the Poly. That extended discount was too good to pass up! It made the Poly only $100 more than WL. My kids are going to love the volcano pool and the hula lessons! (And I am going to love being on the monorail again...we got so spoiled at the CR a few years ago!)

 

[Bethpremier]

How is everyone holding up right now? We all have about 4 months or so to go.

 

[Planning fanatic mom]

My Graduation Trip!

Just flipped my June trip from POR to FWC based on the extension of room deal through August. Really happy since we have 5 in our family and that can be cramped at POR. My quote on FWC went down about $1200 so I jumped at that. Woo hoo, hot summer nights at a new resort!

Are these the cabins? I have never stayed in them but would like to know more about them. Any info?

I don't know much since I've never stayed there, but I hear good things about them, especially thats there's lots of room. Plus I like the idea of having my own parking space and you are in a seperate dwelling from everyone else plus you get small kitchen area w full size fridge. You have a little deck and grill. I'm pretty sure you can see MK fireworks from beach there which will be cool w new perimeter fireworks going off this summer.

Heres a good link to cabin pics.

[Bethpremier]

Anyone have any pictures of June crowds if you usually go this time of year? Or, just any pictures in general during June Disney World trips that we can see.

 

[Planning fanatic mom]

I haven't posted pics in awhile, so I apologize if this takes me awhile.

This is from 2009; DHS Rope Drop It was a Fantasmic day. I didn't know not to go on this day if we weren't going to see Fantasmic. I won't make that mistake twice.

That's why it is so crowded.
