Hello!
I figured I'd join this thread as we are going April 23-30th. We are staying at Pop. It'll be my husband, myself, and our daughter who will be 23 months. We just got back at the very end of September and we stayed in AKL. I had not been in ten years. I didn't think it'd be my thing and that I'd ever go back. Well, 6 months after my September trip, I'm going back!

Welcome!

Anyone see anything about dance or cheer competitions April 22-25? I saw it mentioned on another thread on the resort page after I asked questions about switching to ASSpo. Since I already made the switch, I'm not gonna stress about it, but was just curious if anyone knew anything?

The ICU World cheerleading championships will be 4/21-4/22, and the USASF cheerleading and dance championships will be 4/23-4/13, both at ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Also Dapper Day is scheduled for 4/16 @ Magic Kingdom.
 
:wave2:Hello Everyone!
I am new to the forum, planning a trip for 4/12-4/23 with my boyfriend for the Star Wars Dark Side Challenge. We will be traveling all the way from Portland Oregon! I am planning to book CBR or AKL. This will be my 2nd trip (1st was in 2007) and my BF's 1st trip to ANY Disney park. I'm big on planning so any tips or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks

We moved our dates! I cannot deal with cheerleaders. We are now going 4/9-4/16. So SAD to miss Dapper Day! I've always wanted to go but we don't have tickets for that day.

If you can swing AKL, do it!!! I went there in September, and it was amazing! It was my first trip back in ten years and it was the "big" family trip and my mom paid for our room/tickets. Now, I'm spoiled and probably will never be able to afford to stay there again! I LOVED it.

I totally understand that. Last year I had all our ADRs planned way ahead of time but this time around I keep changing my mind. The 3 definites are: T-Rex, Whispering Canyon Cafe and Tusker House.

I have to narrow my list down to 7.... Ohana dinner, Cape May dinner, Skipper's Canteen, Trails end, Biergarten, Rose Crown, Plaza, not sure if we want Garden grill? Crystal Palace? Mama Melrose? anyone have good experience at Grand Floridian Cafe????

Ugh.. I wish I had a little wiggle room with our dates, but with my kids school this that and the other going on we will have to just grin and bare it.. hoping for the best as I will be right smack in the middle of it all 4/19-26!!
 
I thought my ADR 180 was this week, but thankfully it's next week - we decided to change two of our restaurants but I dunno what we're changing them to yet.

Luckily we are able to be pretty flexible since our daughter is so young, but once she starts we are going to be in the same position.

No wiggle room here either - we are 4/15-4/22 and DH is a teacher so we have to do school vacation. If a sale comes up for those dates maybe I'll move to a moderate.
 
anyone know when making ADR's at Morimoto Asia will be open? I want to add that too but can't online yet

Morimoto is taking reservations through Open Table right now. They are due to be on the Disney Dining system sometime in Nov.
 
Our ADR date in the 26th. It can't come fast enough for me!! Once we have "Best Parks" locked in and ADRs made, the trip starts to feel real for me. I am bummed that Soarin' will be closed for all of us, but it does making planning a day in Epcot much simpler.

We got some unexpected "pixie dust" in the mail on Friday....a unique discount code worth 30% off the room portion at the Poly! It was valid most nights from Jan 2-June 7, 2016! I resisted the temptation to use "Disney Math" to upgrade to a Theme Park View room and might apply some of the savings to a "special experience". Has anyone ever been on the Wild Jungle Trek at the Animal Kingdom? So KEEP AN EYE OUT in your snail mail. Hopefully there is a discount code on it's way to you also.

Awesome! I've never had a PIN or a snail-mail offer or anything like that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for some pixie dust in my mailbox! And I totally get what you mean about "Disney Math." I've never done any of the tours or special experiences, but I always thought it would be cool to do the old "Sunrise Safari" when they had that.

Oh, and yeah, I'm also kind of bummed about the Soarin' closure, but not as much as I'm disappointed about the Flying Fish refurb and no more Mulch, Sweat & Shears at DHS. Still excited about the trip, though. :thumbsup2

So did we!!! So excited.The UPC came to my parents (snail mail) and we applied it to our stay end of April. I think we're just going to 'bank' the savings. :)
