Great!! That should make a meet up on our departure day and your arrival day easy! Can't wait!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Ooohhh look at my ticker ~ It starts with 6 months!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

oohhhh....6 months is good!! so...your ADR day is May 10? That's my ds10s birthday!! I guess that puts me at May 15th? I can't get up on his bday and devote it to Disney!!! Ha!!! At least I get a few extra days...but I am sure I will be planned and ready long before then! I am so giddy!!! I made my ticker so that of course makes it official!!!!!! I have got stuff to do today, but I can't get off the boards!! I really am gonna make the kids do some research on the countries they like best at Epcot this summer--- I always keep them reading while schools out...this is gonna be fun!! DD is old enough to really understand it this summer---really learn about each place. I think that is gonna make the WS more fun for her....
How many of you are planning on doing Fantasmic? I am thinking if the crowds are as low as we expect we can skip the package....

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Yep, my ADR day in May 10!

I think we will only plan on doing Fantasmic if the Osborne Lights aren't showing yet. But no, I don't think a Fantasmic package is necessary this time of year.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Two November closures so far. . .

Both in DHS:
Sounds Dangerous
Star Tours

Now that I think about it might not need to do the Fantasmic Dinner Package afterall if the crowds are low, I am not thrilled at the choices to eat, but I do want to see the show since I missed it last trip, but then if the Osborne Lights are showing , Hmmmm I was only planning on one night at DHS I know I read a TR on here and the writer went to the Osborne Lights while Fantasmic was going on I think
Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

I know, my boys are disappointed too. . . But very excited that it will be back bigger & better than ever and in 3-D in 2011!!

 

[dolphindan1]

we will be there the full week before thanksgiving....

 

[ksueboo]

We will be heading to "Mickey Mouse House" as my three year says Nov. 5-12! Hooray! It is me, my DH, DS (12), DS (9), DD (9), and DD (3). We keep telling her that we cant go to see Micky until she is 4, which is Sep 28. We'll have to have a big countdown poster or something to occupy her time between then and Nov 5! We are trying something new this time and staying at Windsor Hills. I know...I know...it's like I'm cheating on Disney!
We are planning to do several restaurants that we have never tried. 1900 Park Fare Bfast, HDDR, Princess Norway Bfast or Lunch and possibly Liberty Tree!

 

[disneysuncat]

We've changed our dates (and hotel). Now it's 10/28-11/8 POFQ.

 

[MODisneyfan]

Is it jjust me or is April going fast so far!

 

[ramsfootball92]

Just made our 11/7 - 11/10 reservation this morning for our first mother/daughter trip. This will be her Christmas gift and I had it all planned out....I MK view at BLT or at least a lake view or BCV since we had not stayed at either location. I have always wanted to stay at CR since my first trip in 1981. Anywho, she has different ideas. OKW for my girl. Apparently she is a bit nostalgic herself. This is the resort that we stayed on our first vacation. How could I say no to that?

glad you came over!! And I just gotta ask you...I wonder every time I see your posts...who is in your Avatar?!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Is it jjust me or is April going fast so far!

YES!!! It is!! This is always a busy month for me, so it usually is quicker! We have my dd's birthday, our anniversary, we are finishing our school year and this year my hubby and 14 yo son are headed to NYC!!!!!!! So.... I have tons to do!! Plus now I have to have my trip sketched out (even if it's just in my head) so when that ADR day rolls around I know exactly what I want!! I have been excited alllll day since I put up a new ticker!!

Ok boys and girls...any of you do TGM? I did it last year and compared it to Touring Plans....they only had a few variances.....any of you gonna use it for this Nov or are you just gonna make plans according to shows/fireworks and hope for the best crowd wise.....which we allllll hope is nil!!!

I used it our last trip which was late Oct/early Nov last year. I was happy with the advice for the most part. We are not huge pre-planners. If I presented DH with a park touring plan he would commit me. But he liked reading TGMs least crowded charts in the evening before we hit the sheets and it helped us to narrow down our plans for the next day.

We went against his advice one night and went to Epcot and it was a huge mistake. Live and learn. I have resigned up for our next trip but like you, I am hoping for low crowds.

I am looking forward for the hours to come out and get my ADRs together. Then it will be time to enjoy the summer and before you know it, we will be on our way

 

[alexensmom]

We're in Nov 21-27 at WL . Cant wrap my head around ADR because of DS and what the best schedule would be for him. I gotta get goin' though

Debating on TGM. Wondering if its worth the little extra or if I can find that info here. Not that I dont want something else to feed my planning addiction , but that $ would come out of souvenir budget.

Have never used either, and wasn't planning on using them this trip either.
