Oregon to WDW Will Be Quite the Adventure~Going LIVE!!

[kaoden39]

Keep in mind if you want to see Fantasmic that you pretty much need to do a dinner package to see it. (same as WoC)

Meh, not really feeling it.

Unfortunatley, there are some rides that you guys will not be in the same ride picture. Just an FYI

Yup, we're used to that since we have a large family.

Yay I finally found this too. I don't know why the dis doesn't give you notifications but anyway I am here and I will try to make a conscious effort to keep checking now that it gets closer. It is def harder to find on the DW side. I def will want all the info you have on the memory maker cuz I am thinking about doing it for our trip next year. I took my big camera and then didn't end up using it at ALL at DL this past trip. It was so big and heavy and it hurts my neck to wear it around my neck and so taking it in and out of the bag was a pain and all my pics are off my phone. But since we are staying offsite we won't have magic bands so can you do the memory maker without one??? Also I am going to want to know about booking FP and how to use My Disney experience since that is all new to me since the last time we have been. So excited for you and of course to see all your pics. It has been WAY too long since we have been and can't wait to see your trip!!!

Hi Kelly!!
My notifications for other's threads are off & on too......frustrating! I think everyone does MagicBands.....don't they? They are getting away from cards/tickets....at least that's how I understood it....but since I haven't looked into staying off property, I can't say for sure. The Memory Maker is their version of the Photopass+ I think......?? I know if you are staying on site, you get to do the FP+ 60 days out and everyone else does them at 30 days.

Yea what I have read so far is that when you stay offsite you get the card keys and you can buy the memory bands but since we are offsite really no reason to that is unless I need one for the memory maker and then probably just I will buy one. I debated about even doing that but I know that since we haven't been in 6 years we are going to want lots of pics and since we aren't really doing any character meals there wasn't going to be those but I want the on-ride photos and videos and I will def grab a photo pass guy and have him take pics a lot more if I know we have that. I will have to ask out on the forums to see what people say. And yea I know we can't book the FP till 30 days just was not sure how the MDE app works etc. So was hoping for some insight on that.

MDE is pretty easy, set it up on your computer and then you can work with the app on your phone....but I suggest going online to set it up. Now I'm staying onsite but I don't if that matters or not. When you buy your tickets, you can link them to your account. I'm guessing the dining would too when you make your ADR's online.

Well we found out something interesting today.......Everyone has been misspelling Jasmine's name or should I say......Jasmin. Our DD worker noticed it on her birth certificate and I immediately contacted her caseworker to make sure all the legal paperwork was fixed to reflect the legal spelling. I have to say, I actually like the different spelling as Michayla & Shyann have unusual spellings of their name and Adaleah is just a unique name.....so Cool!!

 

[kaoden39]

It is cool! Your trip is coming up real quick!

Well after reading lots of bad reviews of Coral Reef at Epcot and knowing we would see the aquarium in The Seas, I decided to look at some different options. I do have to say, that at this point.....we weren't really eating in the World Showcase except for a quick service meal in the America section (I can see everyone's heads shaking and eyes rolling)......but I have fixed that..... we will be eating at Chefs de France in the France section on August 10 for dinner. Can't wait to try the profiteroles!!!

 

[kaoden39]

Sounds good to me!

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Yay!!! You are going to LOVE Chefs De France. I totally get the name spelling. In the past, people have spelt my name the following ways: Kaitlyn, Katelyn
