September 2015?

[Anesthesia Fine]

My husband wants to do Biergarten again for lunch, which is fine with me, but I'd really like to try California Grill this go-round.

 

[Lillian Gracey]

DH and I will soon be switching WL. Just sent an email to my TA and will hopefully hear from them soon. I'm so ecstatic! I can't wait to stay there! As for ADRs, I'll be only making a few. We're looking at BoG, Fulton's, and Chef Mickey's.

Exciting!

 

[petrymom]

we just booked our flights this morning for 9-19-15 through 9-26-15. Waiting on discounts to make the final hotel ressies!!!! Hoping for free dining!!!!! Can't wait..... Disney Familymoon to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. DH and Step DS's have never been to Disney. DD and I could live there......

 

[han22735]

Just booked our flights this morning as well. Its all coming together now.. One more step next week trying to switch to the poly!!

 

[Lillian Gracey]

Now that Southwest has September flights available, we'll keep an eye out for some good deals. So far they are much better than AA and United. I want to book soon so the trip starts feeling even more real!

 

[LadyRayado]

I'm trying to wait on flights as well, hoping to build enough miles for free SWA flights in the next month or so. But also don't want to miss out on the lower price/miles levels, so I'm nervously waiting.

 

[MammerJammer]

I'm almost ready to book our flights.

Then, I will have to switch our reservation--I'm thinking CBR. And wait for hopefully a good discount.

For ADRs, I'm thinking O'hana and Akershus.

What days did you go on your last trip when it rained every day? I'm hoping to go this year sometime between end of September and beginning of October but it would be nice to avoid as much rain as I can lol. I'll most likely be booking CSR but possibly CBR and I'm loosing weight for our trip too!

Even though it rained, we were out in it everyday. It didn't rain all day, but we got wet wet wet. Our night of MNSSHP it rained but not too much. We went to the Villain's Soiree and we loved it. We walked out to an almost empty Magic Kingdom - it was sooo quiet. I hope we can get tix to that event again this year.

Just bring extra shoes or socks so that you are not too uncomfortable. We used ponchos but we still got wet. We had the WDW ones but we gave those to my brother's family (we brought 3 from home because we knew my brother would forget theirs) and we used the ones we bought since they were a bit longer and had sleeves.

I also remember hearing that it was record rainfall in september of last year. And even the locals were going crazy.

ADR's are around the corner! Anyone have ideas about what they would like to reserve?

Our biggest one is Narcoosees.

Chef Mickey's
1900 Park Fare
Tusker House
Beaches N Cream
Crystal Palace
Hollywood & Vine
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Cape May Cafe
Teppan Edo

And crossing my fingers we can get BOG at the 27 day mark.

 

[mommajo143]

We are booked at POFQ 9/11-9/20. Considering bumping flights / arrival to 9/10 for obvious reasons.

 

[mommajo143]

We booked FD BB & will maximize the ADRs with lots of character meals...
Oddly our 180 day has really snuck up on us! We found last two trips park hours changed drastically after ADR date which messed up our plans but travel in Sept is generally less stressful because it's less crowded & we can move things around more easily... Hope that's true this trip!

We are hoping to snag BOG. LTT is our fav but it'll be under refurb so otherwise our list is:
BOMA
1900 park Faire or CRT supper
tusker house (pre AK opening)
CP (pre MK opening)
H & V lunch
O'Hana
We are considering cape may for breakfast on one of our Epcot days

Considering spice road table but may go to garden grill (GG used to be a must every trip but past 2 trips service was bad & food mediocre so not sure...)
We are considering Sci Fi dine in and hoop de do.

We are planning to do pirates & pals, MNSSHP & join the Pirates league since DS will FINALLY be old enough. If they offer the villains dessert party we may book it - my dad loves the bad guys and this trip is his first, our gift to him for retiring this year. He worked extra shifts & put me through college sans student loans.... It's a gift I'll never thank him enough for.

Wow thanks good to know! Maybe it won't be as bad this year haha. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for free dining dates into early October being posted so I can book as far into late Sept/early October as I can to minimize the rainy days!

Even though it rained, we were out in it everyday. It didn't rain all day, but we got wet wet wet. Our night of MNSSHP it rained but not too much. We went to the Villain's Soiree and we loved it.

Too bad it rained for MNSSHP! I didn't think it was common for it to rain at night. Glad you still had a great time despite the rain!

 

[mommajo143]

We got caught in two good downpours on our sept trip but we carry a clear vinyl backpack & disposable ponchos so while everyone else ran for cover we dashed into lines for E ticket attractions!

Our ADR date is sneaking up quickly too! I'm not solid on anything except for Narcoosees.

This is what I have in mind:
9/17 - Arrive in AM/lunch at EoS/Dinner in the MK (Maybe BOG?)
9/18 - Fantasmic Dinner Package at Mama Melrose
9/19 - Lunch at Yak and Yeti/ Dinner: Narcoosees
9/20 - Boma Breakfast/Captain Cooks Dinner prior to MNSSHP
9/21 - US/IoA - Dinner Raglan Road
9/22 - WS Dinner (not sure what we want!)
9/23 - BOG? (we wouldn't eat here twice, but this is another maybe)
9/24 - WS Dinner
9/25 - Nothing, flight at noon.

Should I through in a character meal? We'll have my DD who will be 2 at the time with us. We have a month from today to choose.

I would throw in a character meal for sure!! I have always done those even without kids and will be bringing DD for the first time this fall who will be turning 1 when we go. Chef Mickey's is a must for me and has been a family tradition since I was younger.

 

[pigletgirl]

Maybe we'll try for a Chef Mickey's breakfast! That might be fun the morning of MNSSHP.

DD was 15 months on our last trip and this one she'll be 2, so I'm hoping characters are a postive.

On another note, booked our flights! Feels real! We'll land at MCO at 5:05pm. Off to the beach for 4 days!

 

[mommajo143]

@pigletgirl What is captain hooks dinner for MNSSHP? My dad is asking to have supper with hook so I was thinking of doing villain party but it's expensice so I settled on pirates & pals... Is there a special dinner available??

 

[mommajo143]
