Thanks.

We were planning on doing:

Thursday - Animal Kingdom
Friday - Epcot
Saturday - Hollywood Studios
Sunday - Magic Kingdom

This means we'll be at Animal Kingdom the day before the show opens.

I've asked my family members to weigh in on changing our plans, losing our FP+ reservations, etc. I'd rather not change things unless they really want to see the show, because I suspect that Thursday will be among the least attended days at Animal Kingdom Park for months.

I scored a Morimoto reservation for dinner on 4/10! WOO! That took a lot of checking and re-checking to get. I had to make it for 2 people, though. Anyone want to join me?

We have a reservation for 4/6. If you want a table for 1, have you checked opentable?

No, but I'm there for a conference. I'm sure someone at the conference will forget to get reservations and will enjoy the opportunity to eat at a TS place instead of being stuck with QS the whole 3 days.

This is our AK day too! I think you're right--it's going to be a pretty quiet day around AK on the 21st. Not only is ROL opening on the 22nd, but so too are a whole bunch of nighttime activities. I think we're keeping our plans for the 21st, but ideally we'll fit in a ROL dining package or FP on the 22nd or 23rd--I don't mind popping back to the park for one busy evening. We'll see once FP+ and dining packages are released!

Just now I got an email about a work deadline (a project that needs to be completed by April 4th). I panicked and thought "but that's today!" before realizing it's only March. April can't get here quickly enough!

40 days to go!

 

[karly05]

It's Sunday morning, time to play with my plans!!! I just got on MDE and swapped times on my Splash/Pirates FPs for Tuesday morning (going straight to BTMRR for Standby first, now that I can!), and I moved my FotLK FP from the 4 pm show to the 3 pm show on my MK day (figure I can move it back later if I can't make the 3 pm, but I really want to get out of AK and over to Epcot early enough to spend some Epcot time that day (beyond just eating).

Five weeks from right this minute, I will be at MK, jumping up and down in excitement to see Judy and Nick on the Move It Shake It float (hoping and assuming that they have joined the party by then - I don't think there was a date given for that, was there?).

For any of you who haven't already seen this in another thread and still have time to update your MagicBands (if interested) - the purple MB is now a free option! I saw it in one of the ROL threads and promptly updated DD's band and mine. I'm so excited that they made this change before our trip!

 

[budcollector]

to late for me to get a purple band, post office says my yellow one will be delivered Tuesday.

Yup! Was able to change one of mine to purple!


Ugh, guys, so it's not even 7 am and it's already one of THOSE Mondays! 39 days until Disney is how I'm coping. How's everyone's planning going? I just pulled my carry ons out to put all the odds and ends I buy for the trip into.

Just updated for a purple band! The highlight of my Monday so far Only 41 days left. We are planning on driving from Massachusetts, but will be looking for last minute deals on flights. Keeping my fingers crossed that we may arrive a day earlier.

Thanks! The light a the end of the tunnel that is March is definitely Disney! I just need to survive this week. And for the first time it's not even work that's stressing me out! Weird!
