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

[limace]

I'm doing EMM at both MK and HS, AND DAH at HS and AK for our week starting the 16th.

Ok I don’t feel as bad now .

Hey I’m here too! A busy park day here. If you see me say hi!

Crazy busy! Hard to walk through toy story land

Any of you have Touring Plans? I'm wondering about predicted crowd levels the last week (particular 23-28th).

Looks like crowded parks next week Touring plans just sent an email with increases all over.

Driving down Friday from CT so hopefully no snow to contend with
Hopefully the weather will stay nice looks like rain everyday

Just fell cleaning off the car from the10 inches of snow we got over nite. Now i can hardly put pressure on my right leg. might need a scooter

Still so excited to get away from this crazy ugly new England weather and see some flowers at the Flower and Garden in Epcot. Yay!!
Saturday our arrival day we head out to HS for DAH nite. Sunday Epcot with the illuminations dining pkg
Monday is a free day Tuesday is an EMM at MK. Wednesday is a free day & Thursday is HS and Friday is AK and FOP .!!!
I was surprised to see that there were no Dah for AK or MK the week we're there. I would have booked all those if they were available.
4 more days!!!!!

Have a great time everyone going this month
Liz

As packed as AK is, we still pulled FoP FPs as our 4th of the day. I’ve been modifying and grabbing them like crazy the last 3 days.

One day of work done. Only 3 1/2 left. Friday afternoon can't get here soon enough. Weather is nice here in Ontario, but cold this week. Got a bit more snow this weekend. Can't wait to be in the warmth.

It’s mostly 7s-9s. AK is predicted to be busier (9s) pretty much every day than they said a month ago (when it was 6s-8s). It’s spring break, so it’s going to be busy.

You’re giving me hope!! I wasn’t able to get FoP at 60+4 and I was shocked by that. I have purposely not booked myself and our youngest a 3rd FP on our AK day for that exact reason...hoping to grab one. How many are you booking for?

They mentioned that the numbers went up for AK partly because Disney is reporting some really wacky wait times: https://touringplans.com/blog/2019/02/20/crowd-calendar-review-for-february-2019/

I just realized that the morning I booked a BOG PPO (March 17) has EMM. So I checked and there was still EMM availability! Booked EMM, cancelled Bog, cancelled by SDMT FP, and reorganized my whole day. I’m super pumped.

 

[Jillm09]

18 more days! I cannot wait. It is going to be like 18 degrees all week here. This is the never ending winter.

Day 2 was a success- busy but manageable morning at HS, then a break for Disney Springs shopping/relaxing at the hotel, then dinner at Garden Grill (amazing), a FP I scored for Test Track, and illuminations! Tomorrow is all about AK- we'll mosy over there in the morning to do our FPs and things that aren't open during DAH and then come back for the event in the evening

 

[sam1998]

You all are making me less nervous. We have never been during a "busy" time. However, it was either the last week of March or hold off another year. I needed my Dole Whip fix! So, it sounds like having a decent plan in place and making sure to keep checking FP options, we will likely have a good time. We have been multiple times and feel like we have pretty good strategies. We couldn't get 7DMT FP so we will try to rope drop it. Same for SDD. Other than those, we have FP for the other headliner rides and hopefully refreshing the app we might be able to score some decent afternoon FP.

We typically do two MK days, and one day we start on one side of the park and focus there, and when we get done we venture to the other side. On our second day we start on the opposite side and do the same. We book our FP and plan meals around this strategy. We went in June of 2017 and it worked very, very well for us.

Watching the radar and it looks like the morning rain has finally come to an end for those of you that are lucky enough to be there already. I am hoping for a dry afternoon for ya!!

Still waiting to hear if they still have the Mickey Sipper available. anyone?

 

[SaintsManiac]

Waiting for DME right now. We were going to Lyft to the airport, but we were cold and wet and ready to leave Epcot. I swear every time we go there it rains!

Anyway, we had a wonderful trip. Have fun, March travelers!

 

[Spacecow]

It's been a great day at Animal Kingdom- the rain in the morning was light and we had a great safari in the rain. Riding Everest in the rain was certainly an experience lol. Now it's nice and cool and the crowds don't feel too bad. Flight of Passage was just as amazing as I remembered. Eating lunch in Pandora before heading to the next FP I scored for Everest!

The wait times from the app to the actual park times have been all over the place. In the past I never saw it like this. The app said 10 minutes for dumbo, we left little mermaid got to it and it said 20 minutes as we started walking up the worker said it’s actually more like 45 minutes

it did the same on president's day. not cool

 

[Spacecow]

Had a great day at Animal Kingdom and a great time at DAH- we took a mid afternoon break before heading out for the night and it definitely helped. Luckily tomorrow is our second MK day so we can move at a leisurely pace- in other words, I'm sleeping til 10

 

[Puppysaver727]

4 more days for us!!! Guess I should probably start packing lol
