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

I would call Disney Travel and make sure they have ME added to your package. This happened to us on our last trip. They weren't showing us having added ME. No problems though, it was added and info was sent out before our trip. We still had issues when trying to board ME, but that was b/c my 2 yr old didn't have a ticket and he should have. When I had called ME after finally getting our tickets and tags, they said he didn't need one. When we got to the ME check in, they said he needed one.

i am showing ground transport online. do i just call the same number i would if i was changing my reservation package? or is there a seperate DME number? i think i am going to give it a week. if i get down to 20 days left and not gotten it i'll give them a ring. sound good?

There is a seperate number for ME, than the travel agency, but I don't now what it is. I think I just called the same number that you call to change your reservation. We booked our flight on our own, so when I originally booked my package, I didn't book ME. I would say if you don't receive anything by Friday to just call the number you would call to make changes to your reservations. When you call ask if they can email you anything or give you a confirmation# to show you requested ME. That way if you don't get your ME ticket booklet, you can prove you signed up for it. You may be delayed a little, but the people at the ME desk are really nice and helpful.

Will it be that bad in June? The rope drop pictures are awful. We are planning to be there at rd but is it that bad & even worth it?! I'm hoping that these pics are a worse case scenario? Please help me understand & feel better

Rope drop pictures always look bad because everyone is gathered in one place, especially at DHS where the holding area is small. Once the rope officially drops, then that crowd disperses through the entire park (well, except for DHS where they all head to TSM).

Bought our tickets for our flight back home today. I've been checking the websites every day and this is the cheapest we've seen it. We will be flying Jet Blue from MCO - JFK. Now, I have to find the same price going down. I'm hoping I can it going out of Long Island, but whatever comes up leaving NY at the most $125 to Orlando, I'll take it.

So Yay for our first time on the Magical Express!!!

OMG!! Now... I am joining your terror! I really hope that this is not the case in June... we are going the first week in June and I hope that it is not anything like that.

Good Morning All!

I just ran across a stash of unused WDTC luggage tags from past trips.

Are there any of you that have Room Only reservations and would like some of my extras? I'm willing to send you a pixie dusted care package!

PM me if you'd like them. Let me know how many you'd want. I believe I have at least 6-8 of them.

What is WDTC?

(where'd they hide that noob smiley?)

Six weeks from now I'll be at Walt Disney World!

TWO YEARS ago I was here:

Yes, hanging by the Kidani Village pool, playing trivia and bingo with my daughter:

We won the Trivia game thanks to my AWESOME Disney knowledge:

We had spent the day at Animal Kingdom:

Our room had views like this:

and this:

And today? I'm here in Maryland where it is currently 49 DEGREES and cloudy and rainy!

I can't wait for SIX MORE WEEKS!

Dallas_Lady- I just wanted to say, I love your photos at the bottom of your signature and how with each trip you've added a child. That's cute!

Thanks! Although this next trip there will still be just two kids!

As a previous poster stated, it does look like that occassionally! At rope drops everyone is smooshed pretty close together to get through the turnstiles and up to wherever they have the rope. But once you get through that bottle neck it really thins out. Its also really crowded on Mainstreet during Wishes and as everyone heads to the exits, getting in/out of Fantasmic, etc. I think most of the pictures on that thread are from times when it is crazy crowded like rope drop or park closing - it definately doesn't look like that all day (except I guess maybe on Christmas day and New Years). Don't worry too much, but expect to get cozy with people for short periods of the day!
