The March 2014 Thread!!!!

[mmounsey]

I'm hoping it changes a bit too... Staying offsite towards the end of our trip, so our last park day doesn't have any fp+ for the moment.

 

[mmounsey]

Fp+: check.
Online check-in: checkity check check!

Anyone else starting to get a little excited?!?!

 

[Jenny Sanders]

I'm soooo excited!! 65 days to go, and FP+ selection in 5 more days (although I'm kind of dreading that part right now, with all the problems guests seem to be having). Anyway, I can't wait!!!
29 trips to Disney World and counting...next stop POFQ March 2014

 

[Urugami]

We finally made it official a week or three ago...
We booked at the Caribbean Beach for March 2-8.
We'll be using old tickets for DW and myself, but we did get tix for DS.
Now it's time to try to tie everything together in MDE, get some bands, etc. I just checked the closure list, and again, DS will be disappointed that Splash Mtn is down. I know I'M bummed that the Peoplemover will be closed. Well, we plan to go back in June, so maybe then....
See y'all there!

We love love POFQ, it is the absolute most wonderful place to stay. We especially enjoy the water taxi to Downtown Disney aka Disney Springs. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the resort.

Happy Planning!

Has anyone seen this yet? Discounts for Disney Visa holders right now, was wondering if anyone could tell me what the discount is before it opens to the general public for the park tickets only? Thanks! http://www.****************/new-disney-room-ticket-discounts-announced/

We're officially booked, March 17th-22nd at the Wilderness Lodge.

To add discussion to the FP+ rumor and speculation mill, I was hard sold the magic bands, after I politely, yet adamantly, stated I didn't want them. I was told that in order to participate in FP+ I had to have them. I asked what my options for FP were with my KTTW cards, and she said that while it *May* be available in the MK, that I would basically be relegated to participants of FP+'s leftovers. She said I could be the first person through the gate, run back to SM, grab the first FP- of the day, and have it not be until 6pm that night or later,.considering it will be one of the busiest times.of year.

I took the magic bands. I don't feel good about that though.

Just booked 3/28-4/5!!! Woohoo!!! Spring Break/DD's 3rd Birthday trip!

Staying March 20 - 25 POP. Please add me. First trip since 1974 excited

I have added all of you to the list I made on Page 30 of this thread! The OP'er is no longer going in March and has left the discussion, so I have been keeping up with the list.

I know that the FP has been removed from AK, but I am hoping that we still have the option at MK and HS! I won't mind if they take them from EPCOT, but I want too many at HS! I'm curious to see how my days come together. I hate that we are limited to 3- I have a napping toddler! I need more flexibility than the current system allows (IMO!).

This was sent to under my Disney visa debit card. I think it is the same for Disney visa but I have not received a separate email with any info. I do have both, but used the debit for the deal.

HTH!

My family is looking to visit Disney in March. I have been looking at various crowd calendars but they all seem to predict different things. We are open to almost any date but cannot leave home until March 7th. Does anyone have any suggestions on when would be the best dates to visit? We are leaning towards March 18-28. Also, we have to be home by March 30th. Thanks!

Based on the fact that there are no room discounts/offers available from 5-13 March, I would imagine the resorts are all pretty much full at this time. I would think that any time after the 14th would be as good a time as any to arrive.

March 3-9
BLT

Really getting worried about crowds with Mardi Gras-- we only had a narrow window to go in early March, so we couldn't avoid it. But, TouringPlans is predicting Crowd Levels of 8! that week. I'm not sure what that's even going to look like. Aaaagh.

We're going the same time and I only see one day at an 8. It's looking like a good week to me. We've done Christmas so March does not worry me!

All 7 & 8 for our trip from 3/28-4/5. I looked at your dates on easy WDW.com and only the weekend is 7 & 8. I wouldn't worry about the crowds too much. Focus on having a great time and enjoy BLT.

We were at BLT this past June and it is lovely - we really enjoyed the pool!

Have a great trip!

We feel the same way since going during Christmas. We will never again say Disney World is busy after that experience unless we go during a time like Christmas!! We have a new motto, no worries over the crowds make the most of the celebration!!!
