This is our first time not being on the DDP and I wanted to have water delivered to BLT for our stay. Has anyone done this before? I have read a few threads on this but no one has be able to answer this question. If I order water from Wal-Mart does BLT charge a $10 holding fee to hold the package until my arrival. I thought of using Garden Grocer but they are more expensive. Also if we arrive on August 31, when should I place an order?

It looks like you already looked into Garden Grocer, but wanted to ask if you considered adding some breakfast items to your order as well so it doesn't seem like you're paying all of those fees for just a case of water. I got a case of water, along with some breakfast foods through GG and spent $60. They are already booked to deliver to my hotel when I check in on 9/7. Couldn't be easier!

Just booked our September trip! 9/20-9/26 split stay between WL and BWV! I have a question. I checked the crowd calendar and it said like 1's and 3's most of the time, why can't I get any dining reservations???

One suggestion I can make is keep trying. People cancel and rebook all the time. Also try different times. Instead of 12 noon try 12:15 or 1:30. Hope this helps.

Wow this is really good!!!!

Next month for us! We fly to LA on August 31 then to Orlando the following day. Hope all goes well with United, they seem to change flight times a bit. Having a bit of a lull planning wise, booked everything we need to, VISA waivers done, US dollars loaded onto card, Disney you tube videos viewed, pretty sure I am very well prepared with park strategies etc thanks to the boards. Not sure what to do until mid-August now (when suddenly there will be tons to do!).
Enjoying everyone's countdowns, I remember when we were at 2 and a half YEARS Have enjoyed every minute of the planning though. Haven't told a huge number of people we are going, a few have said but you've already been there? (referring to Disneyland). Some of our friends think Disneyland and Disney World is the same place, and that it is something you do once ha ha!!

 

[tlseege]

Hi gang!
We are booked from 9/16-9/21. We have a group of 20 people going, including 6 kids. We'll be staying at POR.
This is my daughter's first trip to Disney and I'm SO excited to experience it through her eyes!!!

Because free dining was offered for those dates back in April/May. Less people over all but a higher percentage of the people there will be eating in table service restaurants.

I know there's been a 11:40 Crystal Palace reservation available on 9/21 for weeks now. I'm trying to change to an 8:00 reservation and that one keeps popping up.

Thanks so much for changing us. All paid in full as of today. Now just need to save up some more spending money as much of it went to the upgrade. LOL But I still have 45 days left.

Looks great. I'm hoping for another bounceback again also. I told dh I was saving a extra 200.00 just for that. I love bouncebacks!!

 

[Funfire240]

Are bouncebacks in September normally for the following September or have there ever been any for anytime during the following year? We're looking to book again in April for DD's birthday and I was curious.

I know, haven't even paid off this trip yet and already planning the next (or at least trying to convince DH)

Bouncebacks are generally for select nights throughout the year, not just the current month in the following year. Most bouncebacks are room discounts. I've had one for free dining before, but it was the same special offer being issued to the public, so not really a true bounceback.

Thanks! I remember seeing the one last September for the free dining for around the same time this year so I wasn't sure and couldn't remember if it included anything else. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled when there this September.

 

[Tygerlilly]

It's getting closer! I have all my ADRs done already. Now just need to get it paid off.
