Are you still going to be around Epcot on 9/21? We'll be MK 19 and 20. (Tour early on 9/19 Keys to the kingdom),
MNSSHP on 9/20, 9/21 we'll be at Epcot(WE'RE STAYING FOR ILLUMINATIONS DANG IT!!!! my sister has never stayed long enough to see it!!!!), and 9/22 we'll be at DHS... seemingly all day to catch Fantasmic but I just don't see this happening. There are 5 rides!!! (okay maybe a few more.)
Knew dinosaur was down but that's hilarious!!! We're skipping AK. Wonder if we could go to AK after out DHS fast passes AND make it back for fantasmic.. hmmmm

Yes! I'd love to meet anyone I can. 10/9 is my day to do as I please. That's check-in day, but the friend I'm going with's cousin will be with us that day too. So that leaves me up to go roam off for an hour here and there to say hey as need be. Already told her I might be doing that and she said "okay as long as you check in and do death checks." That's what we used to do in college. If someone didn't come home we'd send out text messages that said death check. If they didn't reply within the hour we'd go find them! Really great system honestly...
Anyways. So anyone who's around 10/9 holler at me! Send me a PM and I'll give you my number as I rarely check the boards when I'm at the parks.
I think there's several of us that will be there that day so I don't know if it's possible to do an unofficial official meet up somewhere to have drinks or a snack considering I know most are there with family with a schedule to keep.
I enjoyed it. The first one I finished in a day or 2. I think my kindle said it was 5-6 hours of reading time.
However, I don't think it and the movie are going to jive very well. So... it might be best to wait until after you see the movie. I find I enjoy movies much more if I wait until after to read the book. I watch the movie and enjoy it then read the book and enjoy it too even though they're different. When I read the book first I'm usually like... uh. no, that's not what happens. NOOO!
On Panera: I think they're trying to be 100% preservative and something something free by 2017... 2018? If it's 2018 I'm sure this is the first step to many towards. If it's 2017 maybe this menu will stick... if it is liked.
On wristbands. Good to know. And yes, I have it linked in
MDE already. Is it possible to do disney without MDE these days? I've had it ever since the beta came out and disney didnt have wifi in the parks yet. Man... my phone was deader than a... something really dead. Had to charge it constantly. Thankful for my iphone with better battery and portable charger.
We've already selected 3 fast passes for MK earlier in the day so I assume I can't do 3 during MNSSHP that night. That would make me having 6 fast passes that day and I would imagine that that is not allowed. Even if it is I don't know that I'd do it. Don't think I want to be stuck to it. One of those if we're in the parks and check and see one open we'll grab it, but if not we'll just wait in the line. We're doing 2 days at MK so I don't think time and rides are going to be a problem. Tour Monday Morning then afernoon in MK. MK tuesday morning with FP and ADRs. Then MNSSHP that night.
As far as universal AP that's good to know. I would probably ask anyways if that's what I want, but good to go ahead and expect to be told no than to be annoyed on the phone with them. Seasonal Pass, not power pass, is the only one that is knowingly blacked out from Mardi Gras. All the others still have a check next to "includes special events IE MG". So if they did wristbands they'd be giving EVERYONE except the seasonal pass holders wristbands!!!
I do think they're missing out on revenue. I think they could easily sell wristbands to get into the pit for $30 and sell out pretty quickly. Have a paid for section and a "free" section. That's how wild adventures in Valdosta does it. They used to get some pretty big names. You had the reserved seats which you paid for and then everyone else could stand as far back and bring their own chairs as they'd like. The reserved was nice and covered in case of weather. The rest was not. You could hear the concert throughout the whole park.
So does that mean you'll be at Darkside on 10/9 too?

I might meet most of you guys!!!
Try deleting the app and then reinstalling it and logging in. Worked for me 2 weeks ago when my DTM hotel reservations weren't updating.
