*** Official OCTOBER 2021 Countdown Group - HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY WDW! ***

[kylenne]

This is my first disappointment.

This list - especially at MK - is so paltry compared to last years. So many things aren't here this year. And it seems most everywhere is just a bunch of sickly sweet slush drinks.

Boo to the Halloween treats this year.

It's probably due to supply chain issues. Just about everywhere is cutting back and/or increasing prices with food. Blue Apron just got rid of free shipping on the 3 meal/week plan and it's making me rethink my subscription.

I think they are going to have special 50th treats as well- so maybe those will be a little bit more special!!!

I'm curious about the price point. I'd think it would be along the lines of Be Our Guest's pricing. But unlike BOG it's neither highly visible within the park nor based on a popular movie. The only thing going for it will be the unique space experience and just like with the ride, I feel demand will wane over time particularly if expensive.

It may eventually have to go to a character interaction spot, using either the GOTG cast or I'd prefer Treasure Planet, but that's becuase I love morph, the little floating cloud.

I think Wall-E would be a good choice.

I just freed up two nights at the Wilderness Lodge Cabins for Oct 2 & 3, moving to AK early.

Soooo, too early to look at weather yet?

Florida weather is so unpredictable that I have had to repack with just 12 hours notice.

 

[Farro]

Just getting excited...

I ordered all our toiletries (travel size lotions, mouthwash, etc.), suntan lotion, nail kit, nail polish I want to use, bandaids, hair product, contact solution,...
Got all our travel meds (motrin, benadryl, etc.)

Bought my two favorite lip colors from Sephora - as soon as I get will pack so I don't use now.

I love this part of going on vacations!!!

We made our ADRs this past Wednesday (online at 4:45am CST but system wasn't live until 5am) and we got everything we wanted except a CRT dinner & an 'Ohana dinner. I pivoted away from the 'Ohana dinner and went with a late breakfast on our departure day, which will actually be even better I think. I've got reservation finders set looking for a CRT dinner opening.
