The *official and early* April 2009-Anyone?

Tiki> I spoke directly with a CM earlier tonight and it will be closed April 19th through LATE 2009...what that means I don't know. That's partly the reason why we're going before it closes--Space Mountain is a personal favorite of mine

Awwww bummer!! I will definitely miss it. Also, the Wedway People Mover (TTA - but, I'll always know it as the WPM) will be closed too, since it goes through SM. I like to do that one just for that reason. I wonder if they're making SM safer as in structural or modifying the ride itself? I swear it was never the same several years ago when they refurbished it. Seemed to be lighter/not as dark and with less drops when they were finished. Maybe it was just me, but I dunno.

From what I was told they are going to enclose the queue area like it is at Disneyland..and HOPEFULLY make it one track instead of two. I like the one at Disneyland better but that's just me.

It seems like I have been planning this forever, not just for a couple months. What will I do with my time after the trip? I won't have a reason to visit the Dis 20 times a day!!!

We are staying at ASMovies. First time on site. Pretty sure we will do the DDP, although we haven't booked that yet. I did get all the ADR's we wanted. And Cinderella's Breakfast.

I can't wait, but DH wishes I woudl quit talking about it!!!

I feel like DH must be sick of me talking about it too And everyone else Especially since I found the designing board I have these grand ideas about making all these shirts!!! But DH is limiting me to one set

DF is definately sick of me talking about it! He's told me!

I didn't tell Dh how many I have made! he'll just be surprised when we pack to go! . Yes, the disigns are definately addicting. I am trying to find ways to use all the cool disigns that I have. So far, t-shirts, sweatshirts, a little tote-bag for each of us, and I found the paper to make tattoos so I'm hoping "tinkerbell" will tattoo our kids while they are sleeping with personalized tats!!

For those who haven't caught the bug yet, you should visit the Disign thread. They are magical-pixie-dust-spreading-creative-wonders! You just ask (nicely) and they design you what you want, t-shirts, autograph books, ADR reservations, pressed penny tubes..... and then you just click, save and use it on your own. FREE! They just like to spead the fun magic of Disney! How cool is that!

I unfortunately don't have a clue how to put a link in her so I can give you directions there... GO back to the Disboards main page and scroll all the way down to the Creative Design forum, and go from there. Be prepared to spend some time looking,,, they are awesome!!

Oh, and I have made a goodie bag for each for everyday, hoping that if the kids know they are gettin a fun surprise every night that they won't ask to buy stuff at the parks constantly. I made little tags (from the disigners) that will be on everything so they will think it's from Mickey, Cinderella... even Wall-E is leaving a little gift. Things I got on clearence at Target or in the dollar bins, or at the dollar store.

Oh I can't wait, It's so fun to be here in the dis because DH is sick of talking about it, and DS doesn't know yet, and my DBF is jealous since she's not going.... who do I talk to??

Oh, I can't wait..... 79 days and counting......

Oh No what makes you think it will be crowded ??????

 

[mogrill]

Everybody is saying that with spring breaks it will be very busy!! I hope not, but what I really cannot handle is the crowds AND the heat. Every year we go in May and it ends up being 100+ degrees!! YIKES!!

[steffali]

Ohh no please tell me this isnt so.... we are going April 26th- May 5th.... please tell me it wont be crowded spring break is not during that time

 

[DiamondDiva305]

I'm going April 23-27 and my little cousin said grad nite/grad bash is that weekend also. Even thou both events are at night some schools sometimes take the students to a theme park during the day so it might be crowded.

 

[tinkermom23]

They say ignorance is bliss, so I am going to pretend that there will only be about 20 families there with me, (the ones that have signed up here on the disboards.) Nobody else will be there and it will be unseasonably perfect temperatures and sunny.
So, I will stay in my own little world until I get there, then when we are there I won't care about anything else because, hey, we're in Disney World!!

We are going Apr 23-30. We have been previously during this time frame and crowds were not bad at all. Some days were really nice--they didn't even have fastpasses a few days and had hoods covering the machines. Not that it matters. Really, those kids have free reign over the grad nite park late night and sleep in most of the day. We stayed at CR and Poly on those grad nites and the fireworks in the wee hours woke us up a couple of times because it was at MK. I think it's at DHS this year...right?

Anywho, the weather is beautiful too that time of spring. usually 85-90ish, low humidity, and little if any rain. Just sunshine and blue skies

April 7-12th and staying at AKV. Hope that the animals are out in case I get a sunset savanna room.

We went last year during grad week and it was horrible. But it was also new jersey's spring break. Some of the east coast schools have a late spring break.

Hello everyone!
Add me to the list. We are staying at the CBR 4-19 through the 26th. Driving down from NJ.

I haven't been to WDW in 20 years and to be honest, I have no idea where to start...
I think this trip we are going to use the days to check out what's around and then use that as a guide to battle plan for future trips.

It will be me, my Mom, my Mom-mom and the 2 ten year old boys. Should be a fun time if I don't kill anyone...lol just kiddling.

Anybody have any tips about the transportation to and from the parks or the ADR's? I have the dining plan and do not know where to even start.

Thanks and I am sooo happy to be going to Disney.

In our area (South NJ) Spring Break ends on the 17th - kids go back on the 20th. I was hoping we would just miss them. I wouldn't mind passing them on the other side of I95. lol
