I'm finally in single digits! I bought my Premier Annual Pass yesterday while we were at Disneyland. Also added an extra day to my stay so now I'm there from the 29th - 4th! I can't wait!!!!

 

[djblu883]

I'm planning on driving down and taking my time to get there I'm guess I might get there early! I don't know what my last day of work will be like but plan on being packed and ready to go ASAP and drive til I just don't feel like it, pull of and sleep, then back on the road! I'll possibly arrive a day early if all goes well but not planning on it. Hopefully There will be space at the Fort if I do...IF not then on to plan B, I have a friend who will allow me to pull in there for the night!...I have 4 costumes to choose from depending on the weather. We have had bitter cold and smoking hot that time of year so I'm prepared! Yippieeeeeeeeeee! Can't wait to start the fun!

With online check in your room is assigned and all of your paperwork is together and ready when you get there. The problem can be how many other people did online check in? Typically there are only 1 or 2 people working the online check in desk which can lead to a long back up. I think it's also not recommended if you have room requests. We are staying in an AKV value villa, there are no requests allowed. Since we won't get there until sometime around 9:00pm, I'm just going to do online check in and hope for the best!

Hey lmc-only 31 days for me! lol

Nalb!!

32 days to go, and I still haven't gotten my Mickey Mail. We made our reservations through AAA - Anyone know if AAA will be getting the paperwork first, and then sending it to us, or does Disney send it direct?


TIA

We're with AAA and they hold it until they get everything. You should be getting a call pretty soon though. This week or next.

Exw, thanks for all the info. Very helpful. I do access the dis on my BB and touring plans too so both will be useful while in WD.

Got the rest of my Mickey mail yesterday. SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!

 

[TinkerbelleAbbysMom]

I would absolutely go with Flying Fish for a fabulous meal. Enjoy your evening out!

Thank you for the suggestion!

OMG I just realized we're in the teens!

 

[BaysMom]

Our first trip is coming up, right around the corner!!! woooo hooo.

I have some questions...

I received my DME yellow tags and luggage tags with our names on them.

What else should I be receiving in the mail???? Do my tickets and everything come to the house, or do I get that once in Disney?

I booked thru AAA, and my agent told me that she has some stuff to send out to me, but I wasnt sure what it was.

 

[tlenzendorf]

My ticker should say 1 month today! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! In other news, the geese are coming thru here on their way south I don't like winter!

My agent said she receives two separate things from Disney, she waits for both of those to get to her and then mails both out to me. I'm at day 29 and haven't gotten mine yet. I even paid before my 45 days, so was hoping to get the Mickey mail early. lol

Arrrrgggghhhhhh! Touring Plans just revised the Crowd Levels for my week (10/22-10/29). NOT GOOD NEWS!

 

[SoScary'09]

Still waiting on my Mickey mail....only a week and a half-ish before it's OUR MONTH!!!

 

[CooperPrincesses]

I am sprprising my oldest daughter with a quick weekend trip to Disney. I'll tell her she is staying with me when we drop her younger sisters off at daycare and then off we go to Orlando. We're picking up my mom on the way down and it is going to be a Mommy Daughter weekend at the Magic Kingdom.

I got a good deal on a inner courtyard room at the Wilderness Lodge (1st time there) and scored some tickets to MNSSHP that night. We are going as Mousketeers. Maybe not original but I did find a sparklie "BOO" to iron on the back of our shirts where the OO's are Mickey heads so I thought that would be cute.

Then we'll also be MK on October 1st for the 40th Anniversary. When I booked the hotel I had no idea that it was the 40th Anniversary, this was jsut the date that worked for everyone, so that was a very nice surprise. Although touring plans has now put the crowd level at almost an 8 That is NOT a very nice surprise. Still we're just going to go and do what we can and enjoy the time together.

Hope everyone has a wonderful trip to the world in October!! We're down to single digits, can not wait to see my daughter's face when we drive through the gates, she is going to just go crazy. Her birthday is towards the end of October, she'll be 5 so that is the reason for the trip.

Anway have a great time everyone...wishing lots and lots of pixie dust and disney magic for you all.

My week, too! (10/15-10/22) What is with that?!

Yeah, I saw :/ I'm guessing it has to do with the extended hours. Oh well, a busy day at Disney is better than a slow day at home!

I received everything from my AAA agent at about 28 days prior to the trip (so that was last week).

My agent said she receives two separate things from Disney, she waits for both of those to get to her and then mails both out to me. I'm at day 29 and haven't gotten mine yet. I even paid before my 45 days, so was hoping to get the Mickey mail early. lol

My week, too! (10/15-10/22) What is with that?!

Yeah, me too! Luckily we are doing more of a 'relaxing' trip Seriously, we have planned a lot of non-park activities and luckily they are on the two days that they REALLY raised the crowd levels (Friday and Saturday). So I feel good still about all of our plans and when we are visiting the parks. 3 weeks to go

They have increased the crowd levels for some of our days too!! I knew Columbus Day weekend would be busy but...... I hope everyone is F&W at Epcot and we will just stay away from Epcot over the weekend.

Totally agree with you. Thank you for booing me

 

[KatieCollette]
