*****Official (??) June 2014 Thread -- Party Like It's Hot!*****

[Mouse3Dad]

Hey fellow June WDW humans - just wanted to report that it looks like they opened up MORE Anna and Elsa FP+ for my time period June 6th - 13th. I was looking to see if any fireworks or parades opened up (nope) but suddenly Anna and Elsa, who weren't showing up for certain dates when I first tried to book, now ARE.

I already snagged mine so no worries there.

I just noticed tonight too. Did the same thing for our upcoming trip

I saw yesterday they tweeted Anna and Elsa will be giving Autographs during the day, but replaced by other princesses towards the evening.

Is there a thirty day countdown somewhere? You would think I would be able to calculate this all on my own, but months don't follow standard subtraction rules! Super happy ("like a room without a roof") to hear about adding more A& E FPs and that parades and shows won't be available until 30 days out! I was truly to lose all my FPs when I had to remove the tickets from our ressies; now I feel like it could all work out! Does anyone know if Merida will still be in the Fantasyland M&G area?

If you have a smart phone, there are a few apps you can use.

Today, the 22nd, is our 60 day mark. However, I had no intention of waiting until midnight. I was just going to make them in the morning. Woke at 2 and couldn't go back to sleep. I was in a Disney dream state. So, I got up and worked some FP+ magic. All initial FP+ bookings for our week in late June have been made. It took almost an hour using the iPhone; the app is a little clunky. Many, if not all, of my FP+ schedule is subject to change based on: changes to the system, like more and hopping; 7DMT; and, availability of Wishes and parades at MK. Illuminations was available now, so I grabbed that for one night.

How far out are you from your trip? Have you reached the 30 day mark?

Im pretty nervous. I'll be making my fastpass selections tonight or if I cant stay awake it'll be after work tomorrow. I just hope there are no issues. Plus the fact that I want to get a parade fastpass and a mine train fastpass so ill have to figure out where those should go. Im really hoping that the mine train will have fastpass by the time I go at the end of june

I was a little nervous too, having never seen what it was like, but it wasn't hard. I only stayed up late to get Anna & Elsa (which it sounds like now are more plentiful than they were at the time) and didn't worry about what other two they gave me with A&E- changed them later. The rest I picked out a day or two later and there were plenty of choices for everything. So I think you can take your time. I just picked out three, took the option that was closest to what I wanted, then modified afterwards to different times.

Keeping my eyes open for Mine Train too! Watch the TPAS board, it will probably blow up once somebody spots it.

Ah, I thought you were making reservations 60 days out... I will look later.

Use a computer!!!
It is much faster and smoother while using a computer.

I am 60 days out. I was wondering where you are in the process to gauge when FP+ is/will be available of fireworks and parades.

 

[kitayama]

I am 60 days out from my on-site stay... I have an annual pass though, and can't see fireworks and parades for 30 days from today either.

 

[kitayama]

I can only see parades and fireworks available before May... And they are listed as standby only...

Putting our hat into the ring:

I'm Audra.
Staying at Pop Century June 9-14.
Me, my Mom, and DD to celebrate her 16th birthday.
Monsters U is my fav movie.
My 8th trip and DDs 4th.
Love Wilderness but going on the cheap this trip.
My favorite memories are DD being given a Tinkerbell Dreams Come True pin one morning when we were on the boat on the way to breakfast at Chef Mickeys. The other was watching my DS interact with Belle in Epcot on his first trip.
Looking forward to walking into MK and seeing the castle. Chokes me up every time.

Did my fastpasses at midnight last night because I was excited about it and couldn't sleep. Got everything I wanted I wanted at a decent time. Now I just need to let the rest of my party look at them and make adjustments if necessary. I didn't realize how frigging easy it would be. Took less than a half hour to schedule all 8 days and make adjustments to work around my ADRs. I tried to get bog lunch fastpass but either there really are no times available or that timeframe isnt open yet. Its not a must do since we had lunch there last year but we'd like to try it again.

It easy far easier than I had anticipated, even using my iPhone app. I now know how the app works so that I can easily make changes on the fly once in the parks, if needed. The system seem to work intuitively around my ADRs and took in to consideration the walking times between attractions. Now, if the system would allow hopping, and maybe additional attractions at a second park . . . but I can't complain considering all I've read and heard up to this point. 59 days and counting!

Ok, I "think" I'm done with most everything.

Room requests made? Done
ADRs? Done
Fastpass +? Done
Magic Bands? Done
Magical Express? Done
Memory Maker? Done

Packing? Not yet
Wegoshop order? Working on it

So what am I forgetting? If anyone sees anything that I'm forgetting to do, please speak up. This is our first trip and I don't want to start off by messing something up because I forgot to do something.

(Im)patiently waiting for the next 36 sleeps!

I have to ask, what is wegoshop?

 

[mrstomrice]

I am so excited! I was able to book the new Feel the Force Premium Package for our SWW day June 1. I think it was just announced this morning. It is a reserved viewing area for the Star Wars Celebrity Motorcade and for the Symphony in the Sky fireworks with a dessert party. We are there on my son's birthday so it will be a fun way to celebrate. Plus, now we can sleep in a bit without feeling rushed to wait for a spot for the parade!

 

[NMDisneyMom]

Wegoshop is an on-line grocery ordering. They will buy what you want and then deliver it to the resort. Since we are going to be there for 2 weeks, I want to get a few things for the room.
