The all New *OFFICIAL JUNE* 2011 thread! Some like it hot!

[Disney_1derland]

1) If you could create a character meal, who would you include?Pixar Pals (Woody, Buzz, Mike, Sully, Flik, Wall*E with animatronic interactive Nemo characters at the entrance that they photograph you with)

2) Does your family have any last night or day traditions at WDW? Last night is always MK. We wish at the fountain to make our return soon and we stop at the partners statue to say thanks to Walt. Everyone gets to pick a few treats from the confectionary to take home and we stand outside the train station, facing the castle and we talk about the amazing things we've seen and done on our trip. there are usually tears here (me and the dd's ) and we talk about the fact that there is no such thing as a 'last' trip to Disney, there will always be more.


3) What is one resort in which you are not interested in staying and why? There aren't any. My goal is to be able to say we've stayed in them all.


4) If you could give one piece of advice to someone planning Disney trip for the first time, what would it be? You can't do it all, so take time to relax!


5) What are three things that you consider "must haves" one you are packing for June WDW trip? my WDW Visor, my peppermint foot lotion and my camera!


6) Do you buy photopass? We will be this year for the first time!


7) How you done any tours and if so, which was the best?we haven't.


8) Have you ever visited a first aid station while at WDW? We've been lucky...never.

9) What is the longest you will wait in line for an attraction?30 minutes. We've never found it necessary to wait longer than this with fastpass and good planning!

10) Have you ever been selected from the audience to be part of a show, parade, etc.? I assisted the Serveur Amusant in France once.

I know I am late joining the party, but we are headed down June 11-18 and staying at Pop. We really debated not going this year but finally some pixie dust came our way and we were able to take advantage of FD. Now the count down is on and we are excited to be returning home!

 

[itsalebeau]

I live in North Central Alabama and my town was destroyed. We are so lucky to be OK and still have a house standing. We have been without power for 2.5 days now and not expecting it to be back up for several more days. My phone and internet just came back on today and I have battery back up on my modem (Yeah! Can't go without my FB and DIS!!! )

Excited to log on and realize I only have 40 days to go now though for Disney!!! We will be even more excited for our trip now! We need the get away!!

[AggieTexan]

I love these questions!

1) If you could create a character meal, who would you include? Lots of Princesses!

2) Does your family have any last night or day traditions at WDW? We've gotten in the habit of going out with friends who live in Orlando on our last night.


3) What is one resort in which you are not interested in staying and why? I don't really have any interest in the value resorts. It's just the two of us, and we like a reasonably adult environment, TS restaurants, and an Epcot resort.


4) If you could give one piece of advice to someone planning Disney trip for the first time, what would it be? Spend some time researching and planning in advance. You'll see and do a lot more than if you try to wing it.

6) Do you buy photopass? I haven't, but I'm thinking about it for this trip.

8) Have you ever visited a first aid station while at WDW? Thankfully no, and hopefully I will never need to!

9) What is the longest you will wait in line for an attraction? 30 minutes...and it better be pretty special!

10) Have you ever been selected from the audience to be part of a show, parade, etc.? I haven't, but my DH was picked to be Norman Bates at Universal many years ago!

 

[S'sMom]

1) If you could create a character meal, who would you include? Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew

2) Does your family have any last night or day traditions at WDW? We normally leave the next day early in the morning, so during the day, we actually take that time to slow down and just enjoy those last few hours/ minutes.


3) What is one resort in which you are not interested in staying at and why? We are not the biggest fans of The Grand Floridian. Mostly because we feel it is just a bit over the top. I have friends who love it, and it is nice, but, not so much for us


4) If you could give one piece of advice to someone planning Disney trip for the first time, what would it be? Plan! That is the best part of the process, next to actually going. Also take some time and just enjoy the moment.


5) What are three things that you consider "must haves" one you are packing for June WDW trip? Cash, Disney Dining reservations, and clothes, of course.

6) Do you buy photopass? It depends..


7) How you done any tours and if so, which was the best? No, not yet.


8) Have you ever visited a first aid station while at WDW? No but, I needed to on our first trip, pre children. I wore some really cute sandals, that cut so far into the skin of my feet. That is what I get for wearing cute shoes. After that I never did that again.

9) What is the longest you will wait in line for an attraction? I think about 35-40 minutes was the LONGEST... Anything more that that, we skip or come back.

10) Have you ever been selected from the audience to be part of a show, parade, etc.? No, but it would have been nice

I noticed a couple people say that they do a "share" for the photopass... can someone tell me how that works? Is it only for people going with a few different couples/families? Or could I get with someone on here that is going at the same time as me and go in together? Can someone pm me if this is a "no no" to ask?

 

[reservations4five]

check facebook search disney photopass share

If you are on FB search for Photopass Share Groups. It is not allowed to do shares on the DISboards.

 

[rainydayplay]

1) If you could create a character meal, who would you include?
I think I have to agree with someone else who posted pirates.

2) Does your family have any last night or day traditions at WDW?
We always do MK on the last day. We were trying to have dinner at CRT on the last night each stay, but two years ago, that's what we did for DD's bday (what she wanted) which was not quite the end of our stay. Last trip, CRT had changed the menu and we weren't as thrilled with the selection. This trip, we're going to try the luau. Still, though, Mk on the last day!


3) What is one resort in which you are not interested in staying and why?
The values. (Yeah, okay...more the one resort....) Sooo many people stay there, it just seems like it would be crowded/congested. Plus everything is really spread out.


4) If you could give one piece of advice to someone planning Disney trip for the first time, what would it be?
Let me help you!
Seriously...it would depend on the person... But I have told several people that, when they decide to go, just come talk to me. I'll help them plan.

5) What are three things that you consider "must haves" one you are packing for June WDW trip?
Hmm...Sunscreen, shorts, and comfortable shoes?

6) Do you buy photopass?
Sometimes. The last time, I prepaid, and it just seemed like a lot of $$$ for 30 or less pictures.

7) How you done any tours and if so, which was the best?
Not yet...

8) Have you ever visited a first aid station while at WDW?
No.

9) What is the longest you will wait in line for an attraction?
I know we've waited at least an hour. It really depends on the attraction and a few other circumstances. (Like...if the DD is tired, cranky, and whiny, we probably aren't getting in the long, long line.)

10) Have you ever been selected from the audience to be part of a show, parade, etc.?
No.
