I just went in to MDE (on the laptop, not the app - although I don't think that makes a difference) and it was available to book.

No, it was included in the 3. I know, 1 week today I will be packing

Did you buy Memory Maker in the end Jenny? There were a few people on FB organising shares but I decided not to take any chances and added it last week. Hope we get loads of great photos.

Are you all sorted?

Who else is into single digits?

 

[Jendress]

Can anyone on here give me any info on the weather during March. We have always gone in September and November and this will be the first time to go in March. We will be there the last week of this month. Should we take sweaters? Is it cool at night? Thanks!

Yes, it can get quite cool, especially at night. I generally take mostly t shirts and shorts, but I'll fly down and back in jeans. I'll also pack a rain jacket and a sweatshirt. I hate carrying around a sweatshirt/jacket in the park, but since I'll have a car, I leave it there and go get it if I need it. I've found that most nights in the park the sweatshirt feels good.

I've been a lurker on the DIS for a while, but just had to share my excitement. Our APs expire on March 17 and we aren't going to renew until the Fall so we decided to do one last trip on our current APs. We are driving from PA to Florida next Sunday (3/15) and staying OP for a week. We're calling this the last minute, quick and dirty and cheap trip (hence the driving and OP). The kids don't know, we're just gonna load them in the car and go. We were just at FW for two weeks at Christmas and already need our DW fix. Even though we live in PA we will have made 5 visits to DW on this AP, I think that's getting our monies worth. Oh, and I can't wait to be warm!

I've made our FP+ reservations but no dinner reservations or other plans, we're just gonna wing it this trip!

We're going!! We're going!!!
on a spur of the moment March 15th to the 22nd. We just booked last week a girls trip for my DD(23) for her spring break from her Masters program.

We booked our train in a roomette, rented a car and will be celebrating at the Grand Floridian for our 1st dinner on Sunday

Can't wait to get out of this frozen tundra into sun and warmth and be at our Happiest Place

Everyone leaving soon have a very Magical time

Yes, I did buy Memory Maker. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a waste of money. I told my husband that we are getting pictures taken from any CM holding a camera.
I will pull out the suitcases in a day or 2. I have an idea of what I am bringing. How about you?
I got my hair cut and colored (pixie cut), and I've been tanning.
My last day of work is Wednesday.
Are you getting excited Joh???????? I am dying!!!!!

Thanks for the information on what to take/wear. I will make sure to remember to bring a jumper.

How exciting - last minute trips. Wish we could do that but it's difficult from the UK. We tend to have to plan quite far out. Even this 'last minute' trip has been in the planning almost a year

Oh my goodness, I am so excited. Sian and I have all our clothes laid out in the spare room, ready to pack. I am having my hair cut and coloured on Saturday, finish work Friday lunchtime and I just found out last week I have a new job (same company, different team) to come back to.

Sian asked me last night what I was most looking forward to and I couldn't name just one thing - but, on reflection, I think probably just the warm weather (hopefully!!)

I don't want to jinx it, but looks like 80 and sunny while we are there...I hope we run into each other at AK!!!

Hi,

This is very exciting!! Are you packed? I have been for over a week
My daughter~~She waits till last minute

We have been coming down in late February early March(with other months scattered in here and there) for the past 15 years. And the most we have ever needed has been a sweatshirt and capris. Oh~~ except the time in January of 2010 I believe, there was frost and down in the 30's. We needed our winter coats hats and gloves for that year. But last January every day was in the 80's

March has always been a beautiful month. For quite a few years we have come down the beginning of March and its been warm and sunny. Occasionally, you'll get a cold day but it warms up fast by noon.


Have a wonderfully Magical time
