We changed our dates. Now going August 2-7 at AKL and August 7-10 at POR. If you could update our Information on the first page, that would be great.

oops! just looked and I guess I never updated my dates either! WE are SOG 7/29-8/1 then Poly 8/1-8/9! OMG I can't wait to be there!!!!

I had no idea about this closure Just saw it on allears.net refurbishments. Says August 8th- November 19th. So sad.

Oh no! This is my 13 yr old's favorite ride! We will be there 8/2-8/12 so I guess we will have to hop over there every night to ride it until it closes! Thanks for the info.

Back from our Easter trip to WDW! And ready to jump onto planning this new trip!

Hey Everyone! We'll be there for a mini surprise bday trip for DD 8/3-8/6. Staying @ Pop. SO excited!! She knows about our reg. Oct trip (On our normally tight budget we're owing our soul (and a kidney lol) to Disney this yr. But clock is ticking since she's turning 14 & you can always make more $ but can't get "magical" time w/your family back). One of those wake her early am with car packed & say get in we're going to Disney kind of things. Since time is short, we're just hitting her fave parks & rides. Esp BTMR since she's so disappointed it'll be down in Oct. Gonna do Chef Mickey & CRT to sub for M&G's to save park time, & gonna do Pirates & Pals Wishes cruise on her bday night (the 5th). DH & I are probably just as excited (if not more) as she'll be. There's truly no better place to escape the "real" world & immerse yourself in your family.

That sounds like an awesome trip. Your daughter is going to love it and YOU for taking her.

 

[BudgieMama]

Right, I hope I got all the updates to dates and new dates right!

If you need me to change your dates at all, please remind me when you were originally booked so I don't have to read the whole list!!

Hi all! We check into Caribbean Beach on August 9th! I can't wait! ADR's are all booked, now just waiting until I can book our FastPasses! We're celebrating our 6 year anniversary on August 11th (and hopefully our last vacation as just the two of us). Only 158 days to go...

lisagyo: when are you staying until? I added you but you didn't give me a end date!

We're in for a split stay (universal/WDW) from Aug 14th - Aug 24th. Celebrating our 20th anniversary and 3 graduations (elementary, middle school & college): me, DH, DS, DS and our niece (respectively). We're staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Villas for the second half. Can't wait!!!

Yorel- you didn't give a break down of dates between the two sites, so I wasn't able to add you yet. If you can give me the details, I'll add you!

[princessgabriella]

I just got our Magical Express tags in the mail today! It's getting close!

 

[momto28weeker+1]

Do they come this early?

 

[BudgieMama]

I must remember to call them and get them to add DME to our booking. Keep thinking about it whilst at work and forgetting when I got home! D'oh!

 

[hsmamainva]

Do they come this early?

I've never gotten mine that early --- usually it's closer to a month before the trip...perhaps this person is flying internationally?

 

[Ferrentinos]

We also got our DME tags - our TA put our info in with them and the tags came a week later. We aren't flying internationally. I can only guess it is because of our TA.

 

[MissingMr.Toad]

Heading to WDW Aug 10 - Aug 15. Contemporary. Can't wait!
