Well, I'm in! October 3-10 @ POP. Just 82 more days, and of course, I have a complete itenerary, MNSSHP plans, F&W, & ressies made. The only thing missing is an illuminations cruise. DH really wanted to do that this year & I haven't had any luck finding one yet. Oh, well, maybe some Richard Petty tickets will make him forget about it...

Hello all
This is my third visit, but first one that I am planning
SOOOO many options
only 99 days till we go!
Oct 20th - 26th
woo hoo SO EXCITED I CANNOT stay off this site!

We are at All-Stars Movies,

Good Morning everyone! One day closer to our trip. We are staying at POP (first time) October 1st- through the 6th, can't wait!!

All added! Ooooh, it's getting so close now! I'm so excited!

I think that we are just going to do a counter service meal the day of the party. CP and LTT just doesn''t really appeal to me, and my husband is a super picky eater (makes ADRS very challenging!!) We talked about Tony's but spaghetti and my kids...HUGE MESS! and I've considered the Plaza but c/s it is for us!

I think this is our plan as well. I need to make up some TS credits anyway (due to having booked 2 signature meals at 2 TS credits each) and I just think I'd rather have the time the day of the party rather than a big meal. We're only spending 2 days in the MK, one of which is our MNSSHP party date, so I want to get the most out of our park time.

 

[CriminyCrafft]

Are any of you doing a meal pre-MNSSHP? I just can't decide! Might have a look online and see how CP is looking around 4pm for our party date!

Heck yeah, I'm doing Tony's Town Square this year before the 10/20 MNSSHP. I've never been there so I'm excited. In previous years I've done Crystal Palace and Liberty Tree and I love both. But I need to try something new!

I'm DYING here - why isn't it at least September yet?!

Smart idea!

I'm tempted to do cosmic rays so we can see Elvis stitch, lol. I'm just worried if we don't eat a big meal before the party that every food place will be packed by early evening so we'll be spending 30 mins waiting on a CS meal when we could be partying it up. Maybe we should get a big lunch or something. I looked to see if we could get WCC for like 3pm, but no luck.

Because we live in a cruel, cruel world!!

 

[MissStitch626]

Just got all my ADRs woo hoo!!! Here are the reservations I've made:

11th Oct - Liberty Tree Tavern 1.15pm
12th Oct - Ohana Best Friends Breakfast 8.55am
13th Oct - Coral Reef Restaurant 1.10pm
14th Oct - Whispering Canyon Cafe 6.10pm
21st Oct - T-Rex 6.00pm

Am sooooo excited to finally have them booked. Only one I didn't get was Tony's for the 18th when we are going to MNSSHP, it wasn't available at all but they did offer CRT as an alternative!! Didn't see that coming. We're just going to do CS that night instead and leave more room for candy!

I would consider this as well if I had the available TS credits. We might just "load up" at the food court at our resort shortly before 4:00 p.m. and then carry some snacks from the room into the park with us (or simply use our snack credits in the park). If we eat at the food court around 3:00 p.m., I think we'll be good 'til well into the evening anyway.

Good luck on gettnig a TS ADR. If you're going to a MNSSHP before October 3rd, you might consider a late lunch at Chef Mickey's (they won't be serving lunch after free dining ends). I think Kona Cafe at the Poly serves lunch as well. Those would both be a short monorail ride away from MK!

Husband just informs me that we are going camping this weekend....I have to make my ADR's Sunday a.m. What am I going to do?

 

[InTheBubble]

We'll be down for food and wine October 2-6th (without kids) to eat and drink around the world! SSR on 2nd, OKW 3-6th.

i know i am two days behind here but i thought i would throw my two cents in for what its worth. we are doing MNSSHP on the 8th. i wondered what we were going to do that day too. so this is what i have come up with:
going to animal kingdom, do a few things, watch festiavl of the lion king and eat a TS meal at tusker house for lunch(12:30) and go back to our room and chill. if we get hungry during the party, grab a dog at casey's.

I think DH and I may get up and hit AK for a few hours (mainly to try and see surgeries at Rafiki's Planet Watch - I've heard they're performed before noon and we won't want to give up the ride time on our first AK day to do it). We're giving DS-17 and DD-14 the option of going with us, going to another park for a few hours, or sleeping in. I plan on all of us being back in our room by noon to do like you and chill for a little while before going to MK at 4:00 p.m. for the party. It will be the first time we've split up (if the kids don't want to go to AK with us), but since its only for a few hours and they are older, I think it'll be okay. Still kinda weird though . . .

 

[tygerlilly27]

last year we saw them cleaning teeth on some animal(i forgot and was too excited about Jiminy). i dont know why but AK is our least favorite park. this year though, our son will be tall enough for EE so we have to do that for his sake( and mine ) since the computer ADR's, i have changed our like 4 times that day. originally we were going to DTD but after some thought,i felt it best just to eat at AK to limit bus exchanges and us feeling rushed. chill and relax are going to be key for that day for sure

 

[TinkAsh2001]

Since our party day is the day we arrive we are going to rest that morning and go to DTD maybe. Me & my mom are flying my sister and her family are diving so they plan to take a nap and then have dinner at Crystal Palace before the party!

I think that I would commit an act of domestic violence! Good luck with that and let us know how that turns out!

I'm just picturing me on top of my car with the cell phone at 6:55a.m. trying to get reception, balancing my binder to write down my confirmation #'s

torsie24- Could you please add me to the list? Oct 2nd - 4th at CSR MNSSHP on the 2nd TIA Hope to see/meet some DISers. I haven't found or seen any on our previous trips.

sounds like me the day i made ours. i had to be at work at 6:30am. i left home at 5:40am to get to where i wouldnt lose cell reception(i actually live in an area that does not have cell phone reception). and i drove and wrote down confirmation numbers while heading to work. but i am happy to say that by the time i clocked in, i had all my ADR's that i wanted and was really thankful that there wasnt any traffic or rain that morning. i started my work day off great
