Cool! So this would be the DDP correct? I'm marking as I am a first-timer. Our 180 days is coming up on the 24th.

No this is the regular plan (1 TS, 1 QS & 1 snack/per day). We are staying 11 nights and we paid out of pocket for Cinderella's Royal Table.....we don't have our dining plan bought yet. Since my son is a CM, he has to wait to add that to our room reservation for a couple months. Not really sure & he didn't understand why, but he was told he couldn't add that yet. When he does add it, we will do the regular plan. Trust me, that is a ton of food & you won't go hungry. I'm not sure how people do the DDP.

Yea we love CRT and have done it several times. You are right I think the kids will get a kick out of it. We just wanted to do the luau because we love the Poly and the girls have never been to Hawaii and we thought it would be fun but at this point I don't know what we are going to do. Glad for you that you got everything you wanted!!

We wanted to do the luau because we loved the luau in Hawaii but time & dining credits ended up for other things. Mike wants to go back to Hawaii and is thinking the year Anthony graduates would be a good goal for us to save up for it. (2019)

Sorry to hear about your waitress. Don't forget to mention the twins needs too. Also, do NOT make the mistake again about the DAS. They will need all of you there

I remember from Disneyland that all of the family will need to be present. I will actually need one for each of the twins & for Jasmine. All 3 girls have special needs and one might do a certain ride where the other two won't.....so we need to have a card for each girl.

Gotcha. Are there any rides they are looking forward to?

Well Shy LOVES Splash Mountain or as she calls it......waterfall ride! (or Zip-a-dee-do-dah ride) Michayla really enjoyed Small World & the Winnie the Pooh ride. As for Jasmine.....I have no idea what she will enjoy. We will just have to take it one ride at a time and gear our decisions on how she is doing at the time.

The seating on WDW's Splash Mountain is so much better. Here's a pic of the ride vehicle:

I like Splash at WDW but not at Disneyland because of the ride vehicle!

So I have set a new reservation this afternoon~~~Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for Addy, Jasmine & Shyann for our first park day~August 9th. Unfortunately, Michayla would not enjoy or allow anyone to mess with her hair & face, so she isn't going to participate. I might try to find a hair extension that we can ponytail into her hair. We are going to have them do the Crown Package which is the cheapest one where they get their hair, make-up & nails done. We will be in DTD the day before & I will let them pick out a princess or Minnie outfit that they will wear to the Magic Kingdom and their appt. I think since we won't be getting shoes & all the extras, we will save money doing it this way.

We did this one time before for Addy at Disneyland. Here are a couple of her pictures. Awesome experience!







One of my all time favorite photos. We got them enlarged to a 20x24.



I told Addy when she got home & she was squealing in delight!!

I am off to Disneyland in the morning and I won't be back until late Sunday. I most likely won't be checking in on this thread since I'm not taking my laptop with me and would have to do so from my phone. I will check-in Monday......have a *+*+*Magical*+*+* week!!

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Cool!! My sister and I didn't like anyone pulling our hair when we were their age. I just wanted to give you an FYI that Space Mountain's seating is like the Matterhorn. I was thinking you guys should have some special time with Anthony during the trip so he's not left out. Don't forget to mention Shy's allergies once you arrive at the restaurants.

I assume you guys are renting a car, is this correct? I love that picture of Anthony and Addy and I love Anthony's Phineas and Ferb shirt

Hi! I have autism! How can I contact you? I have some questions! Thanks!

Derek told me that about Space Mountain & he is not a fan of the ride at WDW. Derek will probably take him to do some rides when the girls are doing the BBB. I have noted every reservation about the allergies and I will also mention it when we arrive. I always assume stuff isn't safe until I know otherwise. Better to be over protective there!
We aren't renting a car. We will use the Magical Express from the airport & then depend on the free transportation.

Kaitlin would be another great source for questions as she has autism. I'm just a mama to kids with autism. We would both be happy to answer questions!

I like the Space Mountain there. Are there any rides that Anthony's looking forward to?

Hello. My name is Shannon and I am also from Oregon. We aren't planning a trip this year, but we have been to WDW in August 2013 and August/September 2014.

I have a 19 year old son with Aspergers. I have an 18 year old daughter that is interested in the Disney College Program and I have an 11 year old daughter.

I am excited to follow along on your planning.

Hi Shannon!! What are your thoughts on August at the World? Any insight on what we should expect or to plan for would be greatly appreciated!! (do you happen to have a trip report from your 2 trips?)

Expedition Everest!!
