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

I am getting so hyper! 1 week from Tuesday is Fast Pass Day for me, and I'm going over and over my plans, so when FP Day comes, I know what I want and when.

Fingers crossed for Wishes - I want one night early in the week and a "do-over" night later, in case my first attempt gets messed up (bad weather, etc.). If my first attempt goes well (I'm really getting the FP so I can finally see Celebrate the Magic), I'll swap the "re-do" later in the week for something else. I'm also planning at least parts of 3 different days at MK and wanting 7DMT FP for each day.

And once I get those FPs sorted out, it's back to the ADRs to grab a couple of meals. (I want my 7DMT FPs settled before I commit to a dining time.)

You know, there was kind of a lull in the anticipation over the holidays, other distractions going on, but now it's almost February and I am all amped up and READY to get that Magic Band and DME luggage tag HERE already!

Mine was Friday night. Fastpass day is so fun and anxiety prompting at the same time. Plus I second guess myself to death. Have fun! There was plenty of 7DMT & Fireworks when I did mine so hopefully they hold out for you.

It's such a great feeling! I paid mine in full (with the changes I made yesterday to add 1 day and I'm so pumped. I can't wait for March 30th!

65 days until we leave!!!!!!!!!! HOORAY!!! My son still doesn't know we are going to WDW. He thinks he's going to Ohio with me and his littlest sister to see her eye surgeon! Can't wait until his birthday when I tell him where we are really going!

Tickets are bought and linked in MDE, and I FINALLY scored a BOG res for lunch on one of our MK days!

Cannot wait to hop on that plane!

We're about two weeks away from making FP+ reservations and half our party hasn't purchased their admission yet. Grrrrr. Any ideas how to humorously motivate family members (sibling, spouse and in-laws - we bought the kids' admission) to make it happen in time?

 

[MouseMamaToMany]

I only bought passes last night, and they already popped up on MDE. I'm not saying you should tell them that though!! Just tell them that you'll see them AFTER their 2 hour wait for 7DMT, since they won't have a FP+ for it and you will!

60 days!!! I just did my Fastpass+ selections! Also, we switched from Pop Century to All Star Music and saved $50

Arriving April 24th-28th! Staying at Movies! First trip for my kids ages 2 and 4. Will celebrate DS 3rd birthday while there! So excited can hardly wait! Just stalking a few remaining ADRs

 

[coloredimage]

I finally stopped dragging my feet and bought our plane tickets this morning! God the cost was painful but I can't wait now! It felt like that was going to be our biggest problem, finding a flight that left at a time that allowed us both to not have to worry about taking time out of work and fit our touring plans. I was starting to have some major worries that we'd have to drive again, and I really don't want to make that drive again this year!

 

[lynzi2004]

We are celebrating a 3rd birthday (my youngest son) on our trip as well! Very excited to be in MK for his birthday... What better gift could there be? I agree that April can hurry up and get here.

Late to the party but we will be celebrating our DS birthday on 4/25 at MK!!

Our 60 day FP+ window opens tonight!!!!!!!!!! Crazy excited!!!!!

Ours was last night. FP+s selected and online check-in completed. Still need to determine if we are getting magic bands or declining. We already have 4 from previous trips.

My son's is the 26th too. We'll be leaving the 22nd, but we will probably still do a little something for his birthday while we are there.
