***The Official April 2016 Thread!***

Ugh...I just called and they didn't have my flight info!! This is the 3rd time I've called to give it to them so not sure why that keeps happening. Anyway, she said 7-10 business days til they arrive, which is cutting it close bc I leave 2 weeks from Fri!!!

Omg!! I hope you get them ASAP!

How many days out should we be getting luggage tags? I'm 23 days out an was assuming any time now...?

I got mine at about 20 days out. If you don't get them today or tomorrow definitely call!

So, has anyone else read EasyWDW today? Josh reported that Disney has swapped am EMHs on Friday 4/15 and Saturday 4/16 so that Epcot now has morning EMH on the Friday, and MK has morning EMH on the Saturday.

That Friday is a "primary Epcot" day for me. My reactions were:

I read the news online during lunch today and started brainstorming about how I could move things around - then I just gave up and said, "Oh, whatever. If I have to go to a non-recommended park, it might as well be Epcot." I'll be there at other times earlier in the week. There wasn't a good way for me to swap days at this point without losing/agonizing over existing ADRs and FPs. And, hey, I'm at Disney and I'm happy.

Now, question: What time does Les Halles start serving breakfast on a morning EMH day? (Although I know I should run to Test Track first then go eat...)

I'm 23 days out today and haven't received my DME info, either. I feel like I had it by this point for our trip last year. I called them earlier in the week to make sure they had my latest flight info (apparently I had already made the update and just didn't remember doing it) and didn't even think to ask when I'd be getting the info in the mail. I'll be calling back if I don't see it soon, though!

Are there separate DME ticket books anymore? My brother received the DME confirmation letter (with everyone's name and flight info on it) and luggage tags, but not a specific DME ticket book like we used to receive.

We didn't get a ticket book last year - only the confirmation letter and luggage stickers.

We are 23 days out with no DME stuff either. I know I provided it to Disney several times, and had it on a confirmation paper somewhere, but just to be sure, I went in and entered the information on the DME website a few days ago and got a confirmation from that too. Hopefully the tags come soon!!!

There's no ticket book because your Magic Band is your DME ticket now.

it's amazing how busy life gets right before a trip! this month has been so intense at work, and that beautiful light at the end of the tunnel is getting me through!

we leave for New York in 11 days, then on to Disney in 18. phew! although we still don't have DME tags yet. I'm really hoping they show up next week, otherwise I guess we'll be grabbing our own bags?

I've also noticed that CSR has gone from some availability (suites and King rooms around the resort--regular, preferred, and business) to 0 availability during our week. really hoping we don't run into any troubles with overbooking. of course, I could just be looking for more things to stress about!

Omg!! I hope you get them ASAP!





Thank you!!

Hey- today is the last day to say you're going to Disney world NEXT month.

 

[DisneyDad2015]

Magic Bands just arrived in the mail!


24 days from now we'll be in the Magic Kingdom!

 

[TinkPearl]

3 days until we leave and I'm freaking out! I feel like I still have so much to do!

 

[DisSarahM]

25 days to go! MB are here and I'm sooooo ready to leave!

 

[coloredimage]

I picked up my suitcase las night. I don't plan on beginning to pack until next weekend but I'm just glad I managed to get it before I forgot!

I cannot believe that that could be the case: DVC was happy to send the DME luggage tags to my brother in New York while sending (all) the Magic Bands to me here in Georgia.

 

[coloredimage]

As a middle school teacher today is not my favorite day of the year by a long shot BUT HEY, it means we're in April AND it's 14 days until I head back to Disney <3

It's true! They scan the Magic Bands down at the counter. They can obviously look you up too though. I mean, Canadian flyers don't even get their Magic Bands mailed.

In case you think I'm making things up...and I also speak from experience for our trips for the last few years since Magic Bands have come into existence.
