Official September 2012 planning thread! List on page 30!

Hi there, I remember some of you from last year's September thread

Yay, welcome in! Love seeing all the September 2011 peeps!

I made my daughter this minnie sundress with it a few years ago and am thinking of what to make her this year. That looks really nice as a top. You did a great job on the skirt, too. I only sew, don't applique and I haven't made anything in over a year. I am definitely going to make some things for this trip, though, because dd asked me to

Aww, so cute! Great job on the dress!

Mom of 3 Mousketeers...I love the t-shirts! Wish my crew would wear matching shirts. Maybe being 31, 20, and 17 has something to do with it Can't wait to make our ADRs. DH said to add Boma for breakfast So, we'll do LeCellier for lunch (gotta have the cheese soup and pretzel bread), Boma for breakfast, and California Grill for dinner our last night. We've never done CG, so I'm looking forward to it. But, on the off chance that Be Our Guest opens by then, I may change to that for our first night.

Hi Gang!

ThereYouSeeHer found me on another Sept thread and invited me over. Thanks! I am thrilled to post that we have just booked our trip home. The girls and I will be at POP, Sept 20-25th. News alert since last year, DD22 is now engaged so we will all be returning again in Feb '13 to join the new couple at the tail end of their Disneymoon. Complete with both extended in-law families (including DH) and probably Brasillian cousins too! (no flags or chanting - I promise). I will read up on the previous pages by the weekend. Got to catch up on everything. So happy to see familiar names and be planning once again! Virtual hugs to all!

ps. Updated ticker to come.

Hi there, I remember some of you from last year's September thread

We're back in for September this year too! We were spoiled by our amazing stay at BC last year so we decided to rent DVC points this year and are staying at BWV from 9/11 through 9/19 We bought YES tickets with PH and and waterparks and more and saved a bundle! So excited to be trying the waterparks and DisneyQuest for the first time this year!

Airfare is already purchased on Southwest and our flights just went down so now we have $336 in airfare credits (might just have to plan another trip to use those credits )
September can't come soon enough

Hey girl, welcome back!! It's nice we are all planning again this year!! Looks like you leave before I come Yes program..that's with the kids going to classes right?? We looked into airfare and it's $1300 for us for 4 r/t. I have never paid that much and won't, so if it doesn't drop...We will be driving!!!

That looks like a fun list



Love to preorder the photopass CD. We usually end up with a little over 200 pics.



I have that pattern!

I love the dress... I didn't do applique...I bought it predone and then sewed it on. My machine is an old Singer of my mom's so no fancy gadgets to make applique's.

Hey hey!! You are gonna be at POP same time as me I love that I recognize people on here from last year!!! Family reunion..

I'm jealous of all the mad sewing skills. I have non so I have to buy them something. Last year did tanks for them. Not sure what to do for this year? Maybe a costume???

I think we've figured out 3 of our 4 TS meals.
Thurs - dinner @ Chef Mickey (wasn't a huge fan first time) going because DH's arents have never been, so they can see Mickey & Minnie, plus DH was brilliant and remembered we could see the fireworks from Contemporary
Friday - Breakfast @ Crystal Palace (before park opens)
Saturday - we are taking a day to rest, since we are going to do MNSSHP on the Friday, thats a long day.
Sun - Hollywood & Vine @ HS

The question we are faced with now, is do we use our last TS for HS for the fantasmic offer @ Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano. Has anyone done this??? Is it worth the TS? Is the food good? We didn't see the fireworks here when we went last year, so aren't sure how packed it will get. Any ideas? or input?

 

[chimilady]

What's the fantasmic offer? (I'm a disney virgin)

Thank you!! That is sooooo funny! I'm 31 and I'd wear a matching t-shirt!!!! Actually, I plan on getting myself a tie dyed Mickey head shirt. My siblings however would die if they wore a matching shirt with me.

I'll be happy if I can get DD and DDBFF to wear Minnie Ears with DDIL and me! I just noticed we'll be there the same time...I'll look for the tie dyed Mickey head shirt and say, "Hi"

Hi everyone! I wasn't able to post for a couple days.

I also got free dining on Monday when it opened up. We did have a ressie at POFQ but by the time I called only king rooms were left there. So we switched to a standard room at CSR. Still excited!!! All the mods look awesome and we've only ever stayed in values before so really any mod would have been fine with me. Now just waiting to make dining ressies in two and a half weeks!

Thanks! Good too see some old friends

The Yes program is the Youth Education Series, DD9 will be taking an Animation Magic class at Hollywood studios one morning (about 3 hrs). It's a great educational opportunity and the class looks like fun, plus the savings on tickets is really nice

Airfare is this year! We're still flying, but ouch! Love the custom tops BTW, great job and that picture turned out great of all the kids!

 

[People Mover]

Better late than never! Me and my DW and DS4 are going again (went sept 2010) staying at a moderate for the first time (POR) We are so excited! Sept 14-23!!!! Can't get here fast enough, almost ADR time.

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

Evening! Did a bit of shopping for this trip. Got the girls bathing suits from Justice today. They are different but similar in style...and perfect for POP Century and Hippy Dippy Pool!! Ok I am getting excited. Also got them some cute graphic tanks from Aero...couldn't pass up the deals. I also have cami's I am gonna customize with applique and ribbon for MK and AK.... I am really looking forward to this trip, our trip last year was so fun. I just wish our friends were traveling with us again...the 12 of us had an awesome time!!

I am so happy I found this thread. We are going to WDW for 4 nights in Sept (13-17). I have not been in over 10 years and my DH is closer to 15 years. We are bringing our DD who will be a couple weeks shy of her 3rd bday and it is her first visit. We cannot wait to take her there and show her the castle and pricesses and Mickey and Minnie. We are staying at the Poly as we want to be close to the parks with her and both DH and I have always wanted to stay there.

We were planning on going in Sept anyway and were overjoyed when we saw the FD offer. Now we just need to figure out where to make our ADRs. Suggestions?

Anyway it is just fun to read along with everyone else who is so excited!

can someone help me? I have been thoroughly confused by the CM's in dining reservations. With my arrival date of Sept 12 when am I able to book my ADR's? They told me 3 days ago, but I thought it was March 16. But when they tried to, the system would not allow it. Two of them said it was three days ago. I am confused. Help

I have the same arrival date and I believe it is March 16th as well. Have you booked a package yet? If so, when you are logged into your account, it will tell you the ADR date. I haven't booked yet, so I have to do the math the old-fashioned way!

By the way, the dining calendar online will throw you off (and it confused me as well) because it is showing the newest booking date plus 10 days. So go to the last active link on the calendar, count back by 10, and that is the date Disney is currently accepting for reservations. For example, they are currently accepting reservations for 9/5/12, and the extra 10 days only come into play if your vacation begins on that date. If that were true, then you could book reservations for 9/5/12 and also for the following 10 days of your vacation package.

Okay, so I am right. Whew!! It is still next Friday. Actually, i haven't been able to access my reservations online for the last couple of days, it says they are having problems. Okay, life can continue today!

We have used the QSDp the past 2 years. We are thinking of doing the regular plan. If we do we will just upgrade to a moderated but would give up our WP&M . I'm thinking we are going to have 3 pool days but would be doing HDDR , Fantastic package and DTD. So I don't think the girls would be bored.

 

[poppypetal]

If u upgrade to Moderate, the dining plan included is the dining plus. Which was only 150.00 more for us then doing the Value.
