I've been keeping an eye on the accuweather extended forecast for a few weeks now (I know, I have a problem... but I'm ok with it)

I'm thinking my current schedule makes the 9th or 13th the best options for Blizzard Beach... anyone know what the crowds are like on Sundays?

I love the abundant and brilliant sunshine!

Surprisingly despite the nonexistent layover our luggage made it!
Animal Kingdom has been great all the attractions we wanted were walk on other than expedition everest which we fast passed and switch passed. It drizzled for about 20 min but otherwise had been shorts and shirts kind of weather. Will link to fb pics later tonight!

Did you catch the times of the Nemo show? Actually both shows at AK? Did I make that up? Lol!!!

Sue, I did see you were staying at POR from that thread....but I didn't realize our trips were so close together. We'll be there the day after you. What area are you staying in? I hope we'll be in AB. I'd be happy with the mansions but hubby liked the look of the AB rooms. We're in a King room so we could end up anywhere, really.



I'm bolding this because I need attention. Is there an OUTLINE of the LGMH? I want the santa Mickey in color and I want the Dec DISers on the ear but I don't want it to be green. Apparently my printer has decided to run out of yellow ink and my LGMH are blue. I have green cardstock I can print them on!

Yes, we will be checking into POR on Sat. Dec. 8 for 2 nights then we are going to BLT (always makes me hungry) for 5 nights.

Are you looking for a white LGMH and a red one?

I guess I'm looking for the december LGMH but not with a lime green background I do want the Santa Mickey on it, though.....I could color in the red part of mickey's suit if need be.

I'm the same way....although I scored a 7:05am Chef Mickey and a 8:20 Crystal Palace yesterday! I say tweak all you can.....it keeps us occupied and out of the bars

Instead I drink here.. At least it's cheaper!

I was just told not to worry about not getting an ADR - we'll go there next time. THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEXT TIME!!!!!

He is adorable and I love his shirt!! He sure looks happy. Have a great trip.

Oh- the entertainment/people watching is a great idea. Since I'm at the YC, I think what I could do is walk over to WS with Steve Soare's list of performances and concentrate on those all day. With an adult beverage- of course!

The live performers often get lost in the shuffle. This would be a perfect day to see them.

It turns out that the tour I would most want to see only happens during the Food & Wine Festival.

Off Kilter is always on our must-do list. And Miyuki, the Japanese candy maker.

for those who have done online check in, our room requests which we called in are not listed on the online check in. When I try to click room requests it only gives me the option of adding a pack n play. Will our requests still be attached the reservation, and hopefully, honored if they're available? TIA, we haven't done online check in on our past trips so I'm not sure how it works!

 

[Tltorrez]

Yes dear, it is called down time. I had the same problem with our MVMCP morning. We will be at MK EMH as late as I can stand it so I have nothing planned the next day until our 4:15 LTT ADR and then the party. DH wants to know why we arent doing anything that day. . We can do whatever we feel like, honey.

I LOVE hearing the countdowns in hours!!!!

The funny thing is, DH is always asking for downtime and specifically to sleep in. But our previous trips were so commando (mostly because we didn't think we'd be going back). Perhaps he thought I was incapable of planning it that way.

Love the shirt! My little man would be jealous if he saw it! Have a fabulous time!

 

[Tltorrez]

I'm glad it all worked out! I'm tickled with the addition of extra MSEPs. Now we have 2 times we can see it. I'm not choosing it as a FP, though. The night we will most likely do it is the night of our Dessert Party. Oh, gee, I wonder if that would be a better choice? Hmmmmmmm What do you think, Terri? FP return time is 8:40-8:55 for MSEP and I'd hate to cut the Dessert Party short....or worse, not be able to get to the FP location. I thought I was done making decisions!

What time is the dessert party? You've been planning that for a while. I think you should enjoy it.

 

[Tltorrez]

My son LOVED Star Wars when he was a little boy. He's almost 21 now. I saved all his star wars figurines....they are stored in an awesome CP3O organizer.
.

I still have all of *my* figures in a Darth Vader case. DS inherited them but he recently packed them up with all of his and put them in the basement.

Yes, they will still be attached. We have had our requests honored all but one time using OLC.

It won't let me make any requests at all.

 

[bellebookworm9]

For some reason, online check in very rarely lets you make true requests. I've only ever seen a couple of options, and I've stayed at a lot of hotels. They're normally, "Pack & Play", "Ground Floor", or "Near Transportation". When I stayed at All Star Sports, all of the sections were available as request options. If there is something you really want to request, call Disney and add it that way.
