September 2011 - The Planning Has Started!!!

[MissLiz]

I'm at work and lacking the desire to do any...not good.

I keep getting out scratch pieces of paper and making preliminary schedules and then throwing them away.




We had a trip planned to go to the other coast a couple of years ago, but we decided it wasn't worth the pain of the long flight when we could just drive and hit WDW in 6 hours.

I like Snow White. We rode it with Snow White when DD was 4 during the Little Ones Extra Magic Hour that they had for a couple of years. It's a great memory.

We are planning on doing HS or AK on the MNSSHP day and then sleeping in the following day. That way, we have a little break after lunch and can stay up late without having to worry about touring in the early morning the next day.

Nothing super new with planning here, but we did change our reservations to the Poly instead of AKL! I'm excited about that and think we made a good decision. I hope we did! LOL

Finally made our room ressies.
DH, DS and I are going Sept 1 thru 8 and staying at Wilderness Lodge. First time at a Delux. We usually stay at POFQ. We visited the Lodge while we were there a month ago and fell in love. Can't wait!!

I have you added to the front page!

I edited the front page to change you to the Poly. I hope you love it there!

AHHH!!! I'm starting to get annoyed with how long we have to wait. I am feeling guilty that we told our oldest son already. I wish we would have waited. He asks everyday if its the day we get to go to WDW. A 3 1/2 year old just doesn't get it when you say "8 more months".

On a good note... I worked for awhile today on our countdown dream board thing. haha I'm going to take a picture of it later tonight to show all of you! It's really turning out pretty cute, I think!

Welcome!

I have you added!

I like to let our oldest DD help in planning and the other day, she told DH that she wishes that we would surprise her sometime like they do on the Disney commercials.

Well, crap.


I haven't told her that we've officially booked yet, so maybe I can play it off like we aren't going this year and then bam!

Of course, everytime I think I am surprising her with something good or cool, she never reacts the way I expect.

Kids!

I hope everyone is having a great week and getting lots of Disney planning done. Working everyday this week is preventing me from doing much Disney-wise. BUT - I did get a bit of good news today -- the August park hours are out for MK!! (my trip begins in August) Hopefully the other park hours will follow soon! Which gives me hope that the September hours will be out in mid February!!!

Wow JO - only 225 days until September 1st?

Yes I saw that about the Hours for August and wondered when your ADR day is, mine is March 30th as of now.

I worked on my park schedule some today and although I really want to try to see Fantasmic this year, unless we add either the Sunday before the start of our trip or the Sunday at the end it looks like we may have to skip it.....the thursday before start of F&W Disney always holds a cast member preview which is not advertised but any guest at Epcot can partake in and it is traditionally light crowds compared to opening day/night at F&W so I want to be there too what to do? what to do?

Seriously thinking about doing a late flight home too and adding the extra day to our tickets, I wish JB would come out with their fares, I do not know if I can wait until April.........

I have gotten my Disney countdown dream board done, for now! Sorry that the pictures are so huge.... I'm not exactly sure how to make them smaller. Just think of it as you really getting to see the detail. haha I will move stuff around and update it when we have our itinerary or anything else we want to add to the board. For now, its a good start.

 

[sjs314]

You did a fantastic job on the board ! I love that you put the maps of the resorts you will be staying at on there.

Aww, how cute is she?! I also feel like their reactions are never what I expect. It'd still be an awesome surprise though!

Thank you! I just can't wait to add more to it!

Hi!

I feel like all I do is think about Disney!! The time can't go fast enough for me Dh and I were talking today and decided to add another day on to our vacation so now we are going to be at PORS from Sept 22-28!!

 

[mayfam2010]

I edited the front page to change you to the Poly. I hope you love it there!

Thank you!!

So sure enough, after months of playing around with the idea of booking and then finally booking, I got a Disney email today with a pin!! I can call my travel agent and change my reservations, right? According to my estimations it would save quite a bit! I hope it works out! Waiting to get an email back from him on that...

Do they really make a lot of changes?! GRR! I am waiting so patiently to do our plans until the schedule comes out. I don't want to have to re-do them again and again. haha
