OFFICIAL October 2009 thread - LET US KNOW YOUR PTR LINK!

[ammeador2]

We will be there Sept. 27th-Oct.7th. I'd love to meet some disers. I have never done this so not sure how it would best be done but I am game. We are doing the party on the 6th...our first time!!!

AMMEADOR2~ I am having concerns about this ADR thing, maybe you could help? Since our dates our split between 2 months not all of the park hours are out for my trip yet. Tomorrow is the day I can officially make my ADR's but since I'm not getting the hopper option I would really like to know all the hours for my dates before making my park choices official. Should I wait til Weds. (when I hope Oct. dates will be out) or make them on Monday so I'm sure to get what I want? Thanks and hope I haven't bothered you too much. Just ignore me if I have,lol.

You are not a bother. Personally, I would make what you really want as soon as you can make your ADRs and I would probably make the rest of my ADRs and then wait for the hours to come out and try to work around that. I would want to make sure that I get the MUST have ADRs.

We are going to the party maybe we could meet up if you want.

I would be more than willing to meet up with other DISers while we are there too!

I thought I had already posted this...

We're in a 2BR at BCV for 9/26 through 10/4.

Hubby and I, his daughter and her Hubby and their 5 kids...a 5 yr old, 2 1/2 yr old triplets, 1 yr old baby.
We went a couple of years ago (the triplets were 7 months) and had a great time staying at BCV. They loved it so much, asked if we could stay there again.
We also have friends that got married Christmas night, and our present to them is 7 nights (9/27 - 10/4 on our DVC points) at AKV - Kidani Village. It will be their first trip and I can't wait to see how much they LOVE Disney!

We just finished making our ADR's...got most of what we were looking for...and are happy with our substitutions.

It's amazing what just a lil' bit of chatting will do...

DH and I are heading to WDW October 1-4 for our first adults-only trip since becoming parents!!!! We will be at POFQ...

Next up - dining reservations.

 

[Nicole786]

Come ooooon hours, I need to book dining and I need to know AK EMH for yak & yeti!

Always go the first week or so of October, this year 10/3 - 10/10. What a great time to go . . . I like that its still hot, but not that sweltering heat of Summer. F&W is the best - I can't imagine not being there for that now . .

I also plan out all my days (I like spontaneity but you just can't fit it all in without planning) and will start my ADR's and other ressies as soon as it opens up (about a week).

Staying offsite, as usual (Radisson Resort Celebration) as some of the people I go with could never live with the no-smoking policies of Disney.

Looking forward to offsite attractions as well, Universal of course, no Sea World this time, a couple of airboats (LOVE those), Medieval Times . . . but I will be in Epcot as much as I possibly can. I LIVE for World Showcase (I'll be with a group wearing "Drink Around the World" tee shirts.

If you see us - say HI!!

I will be at MNSSHP the 6th also and I am in for a meet. I think we will either stay at the pool most of the day or maybe go to DTD for part of the day before we head out to the party.

I was originally booked for POP from the 6th to the 9th and got a pin last week for free dining, but I thought I had read that there needed to be at least 5 nights for the offer. But after reading here, I decided to call, and I could use it... YEAH. So since I had already paid my package off, I didn't want a refund so I upgraded to the Wilderness Lodge.

Just wanted to share my excitement with someone, I'm going to try and keep this a surprise for my DF.

That's awesome! Have you stayed at WL before? We love it there.

Sounds like a plan! Are you dressing up? I will have my DH and my 2 little monsters DD 4 and DS 2.

So the countdown begins for October hours to be posted. Then yet another countdown to see when TGM will post his best days I just don't know what to do with myself.

I will look for you. Are the shirts with the picture you have as your avatar?

I'm not sure if I am dressing up....have some time to think on that one!! My 13 year old niece said she wants to dress up as Darla from Finding Nemo....the little girl with the pigtails that walks around with the plastic bag shaking the fish inside! She can get away with a t-shirt (I think hers said Rock Star) and shorts or a skirt...thinking ahead of the weather.
Now just waiting for those hours so I can plan out our days/ADR's!

I just read a trip report where the writer dressed up as Darla. The author was Lynn5700. She posted pix. It was a good outfit.

I know!!!!!

I really wanted to do my ADRs according to TGM....but my ADR day is this friday - so I might do them and then re organise if TGM is super different to what I am guessing he's going to say.

October park hours not posted on the TA site as of now. Went back and Sept. TA hours were posted here on 6/3 at about 11 am. Sure hope for some they come before then.

 

[torsie24]

OK...so when's too early to plan my outfits for this trip?

Never to early for that! I like to plan our (DD, DS, and I) outfits according to which park we will visit. Sadly, my DH does not plan his outfits by themes of the parks. Although he will wear a certain shirt if we all are wearing them (Mickey or something).
