days to go!

MDE looks totally different today. I like the way it's organized now.

I was surprised! But it didn't have all my FPs at first. I had to run through the motions of selecting my dates - then all my plans popped up.

Mine were missing too, but I did a hard refresh & thankfully they appeared.

It looks good but it has my reservation dates wrong under My Plan. When I go into the actual reservation to do online check in the dates are correct though.

It has me checking out of POFQ a day early and checking into BWV a day early.

Everything else is there and looks good. The app has everything correct.

My stuff is all correct with the exception of my Magic Bands - we go 11/27, so 1 section says we have till 10/27 to edit them, but another section (the main page) says we have till 11/21! I'm afraid they won't be sent in time.

Still can't make room requests, though.

With a three and year old in tow, I highly doubt we’d make it close to the EMH from 9p-11p. But the day before, MK closes at 6:00p sonyhat seems awfully early...

That’s the only thing I don’t like about MK during the holidays. It seems so hard to plan because of the parties. :/
It depends on the crowds because I’ve heard some party days are super empty so it makes up for the early closing time. The crowds seem to usually be low that week anyways. However, if fireworks are important to you then I would recommend the EMH day. If you don’t think you’ll make it that late and or fireworks aren’t your thing, I would possibly consider going on a party day if the crowds are that much lower. I’ve never had complaints about EMH days but some people hate them.

It’s October 1st

We’re going to Disney next month ​

I forgot it was October 1 until I went to check my flight prices for my price guarantee and went one month too far when clicking on the calendar! It’s so close!!

Still can't make room requests, though.

I can’t either! I thought it was just me but I guess not. Does anyone know if we can call and make those requests? And has anyone had success through making requests through Touring Plans? I’ve heard some people have done that but I don’t know much about room requests other than what’s usually on MDE.

My front page also says I have until 6 days before the trip to edit magicbands! Hopefully just a glitch.

You can call and make requests or use touring plans. I have had success with touring plans .

Someone in the W&D group called about MagicBands as theirs disappeared or something like that and my order is still there with both of our bands. However the dates to customize are definitely wrong. They just sent me emails telling me I had a week left about a week ago so I know they need to start the process so they can ship them before the date it lists. This morning they "couldn't load my plans" so it looks like some of those kinks might have been worked out?

Our luggage tags came yesterday as well! Now to mail the besties to her!

My Etsy ears came yesterday, Magic Bands are on their way today, and our room request through TP is in. It is happening!!

I ordered so many ears. I want more but I have to remind myself I only have one head.

What kind of tool do I need to remove the center disc from the magic band and put it in a different color one? I want to do this today and looking for the right tool at work. I think my kids will get a kick out of a mix/matched band. We reveal the trip to them 10 days before - which is 10/28. still some time, but want to start putting together the surprise! We are staying at Dolphin and Dolphin has a printable activity book so I'm including that as well.

I've had success with room requests using TP 4 times. But a lot of the resort threads have tips on how to request rooms yourself by fax/phone.

My husband uses one of those eyeglasses screwdrivers.

Despite the multiple trips this is actually my first set of ears! I had planned on buying a pair but then I won a giveaway on Instagram that got me this pair. Which meeeeans I can still get another pair since I already allotted the money to it!

One head, but multiple park days, which means the need for multiple ears!

I've been calling for weeks looking for a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique opening on our MK days - and finally scored one today! It's later in the day than I'd prefer (5:10PM) but I'm going to have one very happy 8 year old Does anyone know if the BBB reservation should show in MDE? As of right now, it's not and I haven't gotten a confirmation email either; I do have my confirmation number written down though.

I can't believe we will be there NEXT MONTH!

I have pirates league booked and it doesn't show in MDE and I never got an email. I wish they would do 1 of those. I had to call back because I forgot what time I booked.

I've never had a BBB reservation show up in MDE or gotten an email. They tell you to write the confirmation number down so that's all I do. I wish it would go in MDE!

Any good places you would recommend that are easier on your head then the ones Disney makes?
