***Official March 2019 Spring Into Disney Thread!***

[SaintsManiac]

I'm not having a good time of it.

Seems like someone doesn't want me to have another vacation.

I don't even pretend to understand DVC. We are renting points for the first time ever in July and I booked it through an agency!

Excited to say I got all the main FP I wanted at my 60 day mark today (3/9-3/13)! SDD, FOP, 7DMT. Went for SDD for last day for better luck so I'm unsure if there were earlier days of trip available or not. Already played with a few times and am now good to go! Good luck to everyone!

Just purchased my AP and will upgrade DD's when we arrive
Now I'm itching to plan a trip between March and November

Glad it went well hoping to have the same luck on the 15th.

I was on at 7:00 a.m. on the nose!! Used the phone app this time which has proven to be more reliable (for me anyway)! Pixie dust sent your way!

It's official! My husband and I booked today with my cousin's CM discount. We are staying at CSR from 2/26 - 3/4!!! We will be celebrating our 15th anniversary, which was on 1/3/19!!

Now, to figure out parks, dining reservations, and FP (if there are even any left!!)

 

[Jen12573]

Whew. Spent the night figuring out dining and FP, after just booking today. Managed to get a few dining reservations we wanted (watching for others) and most of the FP we wanted. Wow! I did not expect that!!

I missed out on FOP on our last vacation, I am hoping to get a FP for it on this trip.

Just wanted to warn everyone that the Hollywood Studios Early Morning Magic date that I was planning on (3/4), sold out so I had to rearrange everything to do it on the Wednesday instead. Don't wait to book like I did!

WOW! I had cancelled 3 spots a while back and there was still lots of availability. It's going to be a very busy week.

We will be there that Wednesday too!

There was availability even this past weekend when I checked! I'm surprising my son AND husband with this trip, so I was secretly buying gift cards and waiting until I had enough to pay with those. Then, I waited for a break at work to call so I didn't have to do it with them around at home, and it was sold out! Oh well, the new plan works, thankfully!

Definitely working on adjusting my expectations for heavy crowds though! This may be our last winter trip for a while. We may need to try a different time of year because it has been terribly crowded the last two years (January and February trips), and it is looking the same for this year.

I booked my fastpasses today for our trip 3/10 - 3/14. 3/10 will be a resort day. We are going to HS on 3/11 and there was no fp for SDD. However, because my daughter wants to ride it soooo much we had aleady bought EMM. So, we fp Star tours, dance party, and beauty and the beast. We also got FP's for Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Enchanted tales for Belle, and EMM for magic kingdom our Magic Kingdom day. We also got FOP, Lion King, and safari. The last day we will do TT, Spaceship earth, and Figment.

Are you getting hoppers? Having done so much already in the morning at TSL, you could easily do Star Tours before crowds build, the two shows without FPs, and hop to Epcot on the boat. Then, you could have another day of Epcot tier 1 prebooked, perhaps do Frozen Ever After and the world showcase that day.

Very true! I may consider getting a park hopper just for one day. We want to go to Blizzard Beach but I couldn't fit it in. We may park hop one of our days.

You have to add hopper to every day or none at all.

 

[TheOneWithTheTriplets]

You have to add hopper to every day or none at all.

And, if you're looking at hopping and going to a water park, then you have to add hopper plus.

If you wanted to leave HS on your EMM day and go to a water park, I believe it would be cheaper to buy a water park only, seasonal blackout ticket. You're not going during the blackout dates and I think you can use a separate water park ticket on the same day that you've used a Disney base ticket. So, your base ticket would only be valid for HS that day, but you would use a separate one day water park ticket to get into the park that's open. Double check me in the All About Tickets thread, I know you can't use two days of a base ticket on one day, but I think you can use the water park only ticket since it's a totally separate ticket media. You could do EMM, go to the waterpark when it's warm, shower, and head back to HS to see Fantasmic or the fireworks if you wanted to make it a longer day.

 

[Branderson610]

Thank you for your insight, I am really going to look into buying a separate ticket to Blizzard Beach. It will be our first time going to a Disney Water park.

My mom and I will be there from 3/11 (super late hotel check-in) until 3/16. We're staying at Pop. This is our first time back since '99. I've been to DLR many times in that span, though.

I was able to book FP this morning. I got everything I wanted, except SDD. There was no availability at all for 60+3 (3/14). Oh well. I'll keep checking and we'll just RD it if it comes to that.
