October people...

Anyone know of any fireworks cruises happening during that wonderful month?

I'd love a waterbased, fireworky DIS meet.

Welcome to the disboards It is ADDICTIVE, and full of LOTS of info, as you can probably tell by now. As an aside: you don't happen to be the J. Vermillion originally from Gambrills, MD and Arundel High are you?

Welcome.!!!

No I am not, I am marrired to a Vermillion. Thank you for the welcome, yes it is very addictive I am having so much fun. I have Disney radio on the itunes and just surfing around.

I have something very simular in mind as soon as I finish dinner!

Tikkipoo - a general public free dining offer could possibly come out for October-December. There is the AP rate out there now, as well as the Disney VISA free dining offer. It is not out of the realm of possibility that they will release another offer soon. Good luck if that is what you are looking for!

Historically it had to be purchased as a package: room and tickets. A minimum 1 day MYW ticket for each person on the reservation is required as well as all people must purchase the same type/length of tickets.

So what's up with the rumor for free dining coming Monday?

I got this offer already from Disney Visa Rewards.

The reason I ask is cause I booked my room by itself a few months back (staying at POP). But I just recently purchased my Park Tickets from Undercover Tourist and got them last week. So let say the DO offer the Free Dining thing......I'm out of luck ....... Right??

Yes and no. You can easily have your free dining offer added to your room ressie. BUT you would have to buy a 1 day MYW base ticket for each person on the ressie. So you have to weigh if the free food is worth the cost of the 1 day tickets.

Good luck.

As long as the tickets are unopened you could return them to Undercover Tourist and get a full refund..

yeah.....i wish I had that kind of self control. Nope.....as soon as i made sure they were exactly what I ordered....I RIPPED open that plastic. That poor plastic didn't stand a chance. I was just too excited to see my tickets!!!! What can I say.....absolutely no self control!!!

I just got back from Wal-Mart. I am excited cause I'm starting to get some little things that I will be needing for my vacation!!!

I got some plain baseball caps in beige, white, pink and like army green. I also picked up some blister prevention stuff and also some blister cover things just in case. I also picked up a $5 beach bag for when we go to the water parks. I figured for $5....could not beat that! Then I got rain ponchos for all of us....including a cute pink one for my daughter!! The last thing I got was a big can of sunscreen!!!

I'm definately on my way now!!! It's getting really exciting! When I first started planning my trip.....it felt like FOREVER!! But it's really not going to be too much longer now!!! My DD starts school in 2 weeks.....and she will have her first 9 week session......and then it's FALL BREAK!!!! Which of course is when we go!!!

Sorry for the ramblings......I just had to get the excitment out!!!!

I will be heading to Wal Mart in just a few moments..I have already been getting small things to keep the kids entertained on the plane..like crayons for 20 cents! can't beat that!! But I need to get ponchos and all that fun stuff.

How soon is too soon to start packing my bags!!

 

[tkitty]

Time is moving better than I thought it would. But then it will be over too soon!!
I need to start figuring what I need, and what I have left from the last trip. Already bout one new large suitcase. So, maybe we can get by with only one checked bag for DH and I. We'll have a washer and dryer at OKW, so we can wear some things 2-3 times!

 

[tikkipoo]

Just got off of the phone with Disney. I am so excited I am shaking!

 

[lustergirl]

One day closer to our trips people!! Then this morning they come out with the free dining promo and of course me being one who can pass up an offer will probably book my second solo trip at Pop December 10th.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Boo!

We're offsite b/c we are a family of 8 and I'm glad I just made all my ADR's, but purposely scheduled this trip NOT during free dining b/c I didn't want to fight crowds. So, I guess I'm the only one that won't be happy about it!

Is this just pin codes for the public (that only savvy DISers will know about) or are they going to run commercials and try to pack all the resorts/restaurants??
