I feel totally lueless about threads, discussions, etc, so I will just jump in with my question. We are going to DW in July. It will be me, DH and DD. Our friends are also going and there are four of them. We want to do DW for 4 days and Sea World for two days. We want to stay at Pop Century. Can we do this even though we are not going to DW all the nights we are there? Will we need to stay at a diff. resort? What about meal plan, as we would love to do that for the days we do DW. I know these have probably been addressed about a thousand times, but I can't find them. Also, are we better off getting on nice suite or two value rooms? Thanks!
Your meal plan question, I believe is do you have to purchase the meal plan for as many nights as you'll be at the resort, even though you won't be at a Disney park each day. The answer is yes, you'll be required to purchase the meal plan for your entire length of stay (based on nights, not days). But the good news is, you can double up your TS meals and go to some great restaurants that require 2 dinning credits.
As far as the two rooms vs the suite, popular opinion is that it is actually cheaper to get two connecting rooms rather than a suite. I have never priced it out myself, but that is the popular consensus. Have fun planning and have a wonderful trip!
I was told by DH that this would be the last of Disney for a few years
but he also didn't want to go on this one but did to keep me quiet (he has had a lot of expensive projects this year). Hopefully he will have so much fun he will change his mind.
Isn't it the Disney way to plan next trip before you are done with the current one?
ADR's:
08/31 11:20 harmony barbers for dd1's first haircut

I love that your dd's first haircut will be at the harmony barbers! Please post pics in your trip report!!
I actually got it at the store I work at... Meijer. However, I did a web search and found lots of other places (including
amazon) that carry it.
It is called circle of friends.... and I was wrong about the diameter...its 18 not 16.
Thanks! And btw, love your drawing of Cindy! You nailed the eyes for sure!
Please tell me that I'm not crazy (or that I totally am): my DD goes to sleep kind of roughly if we're in the same room as her. I had the idea to take 2 command hooks (the removable, leave-no-residue kind), some string, clothespins and a queen sized sheet from home and create a curtain wall between her pack 'n' play and our bed in our room. I don't need it to block out light or anything, just act as a screen so she doesn't see us.
Is this crazy? I can't imagine what mousekeeping will think when they walk in!
Mousekeeping has seen it all I'm sure! I don't think they'll blink an eye at what you have in mind. I think it's rather genius actually. Maybe you could take a ribbon or twine or something and gather it up and away to make MK's job a bit easier. Then you won't have to fuss about taking it down and putting it back up.
2 days left.
Hopefully we will get there. I did check SW sight this am and they were re scheduling flights out of and into Norfolk but nothing else has been affected. So I'm guessing we are just gonig to fly inland around the storm. I really hope this is the case.
Right now there is a bounceback in the room for FD for next year so I'm hoping to book when we get there. We are going to do 12 days next year.
First of all, saying a prayer for you and the flight and all.:good vibes It's got to be nerve racking, but you'll be fine since most everyone on this thread is sending pixie dust your way!
Have a fantastic time and don't forget to check in with us when you get back!
And I didn't know the BB was for free dining. That's pretty cool!
Hallelujah! Must share though totally off topic....it's raining!!!!! We have been in a major drought and even a small shower makes me HAPPY!!!! (The grass and wildlife too!)
My sister lives in Flower Mound and they need rain too. You guys have been in the triple digit temps for some time now, right? My sister's AC went out a couple of weeks ago.
In that weather it's a necessity, not a luxury! Hope you get more rain soon.
Just when I thought I was done with ADRs but brother decides hes definitley coming
Now we booked in January and hes been on the fence since then, but luckily I made the majority of our ADRs including him figuring if we were 1 less it wouldnt be as much of a problem as if we needed 1 more. I had to lose my Boma ressie which I am really upset over but Id rather know we have the correct number of people on the ADR than be turned away. I will keep trying but we are going to eat at San Angel Inn now instead. Boo!
On the plus side only 29 days
We're slowly getting there!
What a great idea to book as though your brother was coming all along!
That's a tip I'll tuck away. Sorry about Boma. We love it too!
For those looking forward to buying their childrens first pair of ears, i thought i would share one of my favorite pictures of DS in his pumpkin ears!
Last year we did a halloween style for our family ears. I bought mickey as frankenstein for my ears, DH bought the pirate hat and DS bought the mickey pumpkin ears as you can see! Cant wait to see what we decide on this year!!
These pics are adorable! I love the halloween style for the ears idea! Also, I just love the name Logan!
Pretty good, considering it's 91 degrees right now with 48% humidity. It's not going to be hotter than that at WDW, right? (hoping, hoping, hoping!)
She told me tonight her biggest problem with WDW is that it kept her from going to Carowinds for one last hurrah late in the summer, since we have been saving like crazy. I think she's going to be shocked by how much there is to do once she gets there!
I am really looking forward to time around the pool. Every other time we went we never got enough relax time. so this time we promised each other (DH and I) we would make sure we had time to sit by the pool and relax...with a 
to the thread! I have you added to the first post. 
We will be in the World at the same time!
