Woo hoo! Got our chef mickeys reservation. Fingers crossed we get crystal palace tomorrow. Don't think we are doing any other reservations so really hoping we get the two we want.

Right at 180? We've gotten CP every time (at least 15+ times) -- latest 8:10am for breakfast. Good luck!

Got our flights booked today! Southwest opened up for our August flights - flying out of Buffalo to MCO. Didn't get great rates , but even with the US exchange on the Canadian dollar, it's still cheaper than flying out of Toronto. We did get really good flight times though. It feels good to have our flights booked - makes trip more real Now I just need to book our ADR's on Saturday! Good luck to everyone looking for ADR's for August

Good for you! We didn't book flights. I couldn't stomach the $190 return airfare on Sept. 2nd. So as of right now, we are driving.

Yeah, it was tough to take . We got $120 BUF to MCO (8:05am) which was fine, but our return of $190 was ugly I almost didn't book it. I really expected better prices. I'm hoping that the free dining at PORS and the Magical Deal (along with a great price at the Days Hotel Park and Fly - thanks to you Disneylover99) will help offset the total price

I'm still holding out hope for a free dining offer for Canadians at least a few days before our bb begins. I need more then a week of free dining. I'm so spoiled.

I'm in the same boat or car so to speak we're also driving. A slightly shorter drive for us.

Got ADR's booked for the first four days - we have a 'triple' resort stay. I was hoping that we could book 180 + 10, but first resort stay is only 4 nights, so we can only book 4 days. I have to get up again Wednesday to do the next 4 days, then on the 28th to do our last 8 days Good thing I like planning
I had to call in to book ADR's at 7:00am. I was up at 6:00am, but I kept getting 'sorry for the paws' message - frustrating! Oh, well, at least I got what we wanted for our first leg of the trip

Good luck with the next set of your reservations. That "paws" message can get to you. We have a trip split into 5 parts and I have seen the "paws" more often than I wanted to.

Thanks for the encouragement. At least I feel better knowing I'm not alone with the 'paws' quote!

I got one for CP for a pre park opening slot. I think the bottom fell out of my stomach! I refreshed and got it but......... insert lots of bad words LOL

 

[DisPrncess19]

We are driving also going to do it overnight for the first time, hoping the kids will sleep the majority of the time.

This is the most important one to us! 8:00am Crystal Palace is our must do every trip. We are hoping to get it for the last day of our trip. Fingers crossed. Glad to hear you got it!
