I have about 25 days and I havent received anything yet. I wonder if I even will. I have a room and transportation booked from the airport. Does anyone know if I am even suposed to get anything?

If you booked your trip directly thru Disney then I would call and check with them.

Egads! The WDW website is now reminding me that on October 5 I can save time, skip the line and check in online. That wasn't available on our last trip and it's freaking me out that time is flying by. I still need help figuring out what to do about DD's costume. You should totally read my last post of my PTR to help me. I think I'm going to set up a chocolate fountain over there to get more people to stop by.

I saw your post on mommy2mrb's thread. I don't need to be enticed with chocolate, I love TR/PTR!!

What is your plan when the two conflict? I've started following EasyWDW because it seems more people are following TP, sometimes doing opposite of TP works. Where I really LOVE TP is for their mobile app for the lines!!

I don't know what I am going to do when they conflict - and they do in several places! This is my first time using either site so I don't have a good comparison. I pretty much have the first 4 days set and I won't change them now, but the last 3 full days are more flexible. One of them will include a trip to IOA for WWOHP.

I have been checking the Lines app to see wait times. I have the Undercover Tourist app, as well - so I have been comparing those, too!

I think I have officially ventured into Too Much Information!

38 days! Happy Hump Day everyone.

TMI is when I start to over analyze and then change plans and then regret it and then try to change back and then is doesn't work and then I fret about it for days and then I change something else and WHEW!

Congrats on the 38 days!

44 days here!

I've used both TP since last Christmas and started using EasyWDW in March. I like both of them.

My plans are very flexible. The only things I want etched in stone is HoB our first night to see a friend's daughter open for the jazz band. And a Carriage ride our last night with mommy2mrb. Other than that, I can switch things around. If we get to see them anymore than that, it's a bonus!

DS7 wants to spend lots of time at the Dig Site at the pool activities, so swimming and the jaguar slide MUST make our daily schedule!!

Our trip is a month from today! Hoping for no hurricanes!!!

I was looking last night too....just stay away from Epcot on the weekends due to F & W...that's when all the locals go!

we are at 35 days

 

[PEANUT1]

good point We plan to do MK on arrival day (saturday) and AK on sunday so we are good I am wondering why it says to avoid HS on Fri the 21st...it doesn't have EMH. We planned to do it that day..oh well.

Not all the locals

I looked last night and one day of the weekend was listed as a 9!! That's going to be one busy day!!

We usually stick to starting at 11am when we are sampling the food. Usually not too bad then. Nighttime can get very crowded.

I'm so ready for the escargot!! It tasted more like a mushroom on a nice tiny piece of garlic bread....YUM!!! Oh the beer cheese soup is calling too! So is the Greek salad.

 

[Yarna]

We'll be at POR Oct 22-30. Just paid off the trip today so we're one step closer!! 45 days!!!

 

[eyeslikeanocean]

38 days! WOO HOO! Ready to get out of flooded Louisiana and head to Mickey's House! Also impatiently awaiting my MickeyMail!!!!!! (crosses fingers)... please no hurricanes in oct..... Please no hurricanes in Oct........

We just had our yearly Influenza Inservice extravaganza where I work. Don't forget to get your flu shots! We are getting ours 2 weeks from tomorrow. I don't want to be too sick to visit Mickey or get sick from somebody there.

 

[daizieduck]

DH and I got bad colds and were sick our whole trip a few years back. I'm sure we looked and felt miserable even though we were at the happiest place on earth. And we couldn't taste any of our meals. I was dying to try the grapefruit cake at Brown Derby and couldn't taste a thing because I was all stuffed up from blowing my nose so much. So that is that is what I am having for dessert a month from today! (We've been to the World several times since our "sick trip" but this will be our first time going back to Brown Derby.)

 

[tlenzendorf]

Brent was sick on our just the two of us trip last March. Poor thing was miserable, but didn't let on or complain and I marched him around the parks for 6 days! He basically just died every night when we went to bed, I figured he was just really tired from my touring plan.

This time we have started taking vitamins to hopefully keep the germs away!

Are you planning any resort time? There are a couple of us that have pool time scheduled on the morning of the 18th. We are both going to MNSSHP that evening. Oh - we are both at POFQ with you!

Please what she said, please what she said!

We are arriving the same day! Where are you staying? (I know I have probably seen it before, but my memory sucks!)

 

[exwdwcm]

yeah! i need to go look, i haven't looked in a while. we are there at the same time, just arriving a day earlier- on the 14th. It looks pretty good!

we also plan to do F&W on weekdays and starting right at 11 when WS opens. hoping that way we can avoid some of the lines and crowds!

it is awful being sick at WDW! I had a sinus infection a few years ago and I hated that I couldn't taste the food. We had a nice meal at Le Cellier and I could barely taste it. i was so mad!

Possibly some, but I don't know when yet. We will be coming back to POFQ after breakfast and then heading to DTD for lunch on the 18th. I have always wanted to try Boma for breakfast! Mom might do some pool time on the late starts and early ending days, though I might be working on homework. All depends on what I have to do...
