***Official November 2013 - Part II*** (that's right....we're that popular!)

[LimeCordial]

Good morning folks!

I wish I knew how to do multiple quotes from the phone app.

xipotec, thanks for posting the band pic. Looks very "high tech undercover agent"

I didn't even ask my fam what colours they wanted. One kiddo wouldn't care, one would complain no matter what "wahhh, there's no turquoise with pink glitter" and I save Disney talk with hubby for more pressing matters. He can only talk Disney so much .

stmize, I'm so sorry about your job loss. Sending positive vibes your way. Glad you can still go on your trip and make the most of it

I think I've got 28 days left! I said I wasn't going to over plan but alas, I think I have. Scratch that... I know I have. I can't help it. I wanted to make the most of every day, see a lot, account for breaks, a day off and develop an itinerary that hopefully keeps us out of long lines.
It was like I was playing an intense chess match yesterday. I found pre planning FP a little annoying. I do not like criss crossing the parks and wanted to hit up other specific rides in sections/times of day when crowds are lower. Guessing how many rides to fit in between FP times is hard.

I think I've done the best I can except I want to change one ADR but no luck with yet with availability. Anyone cancelling a Cape May breakfast on Nov 15? Anyone?

*crickets*

We are going November 8 th and I haven't seen one fast pass plus for any parades. Nybody else get them?

 

[MamaJessie]

I love that other people are as excited about the bands. I CANNOT wait to try it on. Gray looks good, it is what DH ordered too.

I have changed the color I am ordering for myself at least three times. Good thing my time is almost up, I will be forced to make a decision. I mostly want pink, except my youngest DD is getting pink and I was thinking maybe we would all get different colors which would lead me to red (over the yellow) except I don't think red would look good with the rest. Yeah seriously my brain says things like "Uh I cannot see how that will ever be an issue weirdo" and "Who cares if you repeat a color anyway?" but I guess I just need something to obsess over.

I keep messing around with my FP+ selections too. We are going in so many directions this trip that we only have a half day at DHS - so now I am rethinking F!. I don't want to spend an insane amount of time on one thing and miss out on so many others. I have already decided next trip is going to be WDW only, or about 3 days longer.

IN ONE MONTH I WILL BE PACKING THE CAR AND PICKING THE KIDS UP FROM SCHOOL EARLY TO HEAD TO FLORIDA. YIPPEE!!!!!

 

[AMateus]

Isn't it exciting lol

It is!!! Trying to come up with an excuse to go home from work to get them! Lol! It's killing me that they will be sitting on my porch all alone all day!

Nope.

I am still leaning towards not using FP+ for parades because I'm not sure how well things will go in the evenings with the kids. We are also park hopping for evening entertainment so I'd have to abandon the FP+ for the daytime park.

My CM friend checked today and it seems what is now out for November are CM discounts when the CM stays at the resort, NOT F&F dining discounts. I will just have to wait.

I have a F&F dining discount for Nov, it is very limited. I think the code was FTC. I would call back and talk to somebody else.

What day of the week is it?

Thursday, 11/14.

I will be praying for fast healing!

 

[RejoyceoverDisney]

Lol, you have to explain your "sellfies" technique a bit more.... Not sure I get it !!!

I am very empowered by my band! Wifey will facebook hers. The kids do not know about the trip yet. We will surprise them the night before as usual. We plan on decorating the rental car in the driveway before they come home form school . ( gonna make it look like a big Mickey)

The family are all Dinseyphiles, but I am by far the most infected of the lot.

Now if they only had a purple band..........

What I wasn't clear enough?

1) take your phone and put it on camera mode
2) go to the mirror and hold the phone like you did for that picture as if you are going to take the picture
3) turn the phone around so that the lens is facing you, and the view of what will be taken can be scene in the mirror
4) get your picture centered and then take the picture

I know I know you have to be a little creative on how you are going to hold the camera so that you can still push the button to snap the picture.
The picture then because the actual you and not the reflection from the mirror.

Got it now?

LOL next thing you know he'll switch on invisible with that non-color band and all we will see is the band floating in the air.

Ok really I need to walk away and get to my next task for the day.

 

[sheh378]

Yay magic bands were delivered, and still have 4 more hours of work I think I'm feeling sick must go home lol!

 

[cadale]

Just a quick question: I am doing a split stay so my understanding is we will get two sets of MB's. The ones from the first part of my split stay have been available to customize for almost two weeks and it says I have until Oct. 31 to finish. There has been nothing on MDE about the second set of bands. Shouldn't that choice to customize have shown up by now?

Also is anyone else having problems with on-line check in? Everytime I do it I get to the end and then it pops up with Goofy and the Sorry couldn't finish screen.

 

[ammag]

Our MK FPP choices are...ESTWB, new princess meet with rapunzel, and later in afternoon big thunder, although two of our party don't want to ride it, not sure if they will do another one. My daughter is 6 I am so happy we don't have to run in at rope drop!

I think it's an epidemic I'm feeling sick too lol

 

[Strawberry's mom&dad]

MBs came yesterday. Green, Blue, Pink. I don't care what color(or non color) you get, they still have magical powers.

 

[aym4Him]

Went for a walk and was passed by a UPS truck. It was all I could do to keep going (trying to do 2 miles a day for now)!! When I finished, my MBs were waiting for me. Yay!!!

December hasn't been released yet so you wouldn't have the option to customize the second set yet since the second half of your split stay starts in December.
