I seriously can't stop! Lol! I am 10 days away and added an ADR yesterday! Now I'm obsessively checking for the time change I want for ohana and looking at the new restaurants at Disney springs. I just love the planning! Lol!

If Blaze is going to be open while we're there I just added a qs. I can't stop either! I need to go before I drive everybody in my house nuts!

Anyone looking to try Blaze on their trip? It is set to open at the end of this month.

I don't know. There are so many new places I want to try at DS. I was actually hoping it wouldn't open til September so that it would be one less restaurant to choose from.

I am traveling 7/31/16-8/5/16 and would be interested. I actually already purchased it but have been regretting it because it is so expensive.

I'll see if I can find more info on the timelines involved....

I am not going until the end of August 26-Sept 3 but would be interested if the dates work.

It is nice to see others who are as obsessed with planning as I am. This morning I was able to get a BOG breaky on our other MK morning. Now fingers crossed they don't change the park opening time on Sept 1

Off to play around with my tour plans for that day now!!

My dates are Aug 27-Sept 03 and would also be interested in splitting the memory maker somehow.

As for planning... I gave up discussing any of it with the family long ago. They know when we leave and where we are going and that's all they care. I do my planning, booking, changing and they have no clue the work I put in. I tried chatting with my mom about it recently. She looked at me and said I am too obsessive and should just show up without any planning

We have an 8:05am Crystal Palace ADR booked for September 1st to see our Hundred Acre Friends .
I am with you on the crossed fingers. Won't know about September for quite some time, but following the pattern in August, we *might* be ok
We still want the Crystal Palace ADR (it's our must do), but if MK opens at 8:00am that day, I will try to make it a late breakfast maybe. That's my plan B (and in case, I have a plan C, D, E ... just because I over plan ). Over-planners anonymous ... anyone else ?

Pictures are deleted off the server 45 days after they are taken.

Once the first person downloads a picture, you then have 30 days left to add pictures (have pictures taken)

So you really have more than 30 days to work with as long as the first person to visit understands that they can not download pictures until 30 days before the last persons visit ends.

Also, that first person to visit will have to edit and download their photos relatively quickly after the last families visit is over in order to get their pictures done and downloaded before the 45 day expiration.

Hope this helps!

Very helpful -- thanks!

If you're interested in a Memory Maker share, send me a private message and I'll see if I can organize it...unless one of you has already purchased Memory Maker (I have not) -- then that person would be the "owner" and we would need to reimburse that person and they could "lead" it.

Epcot's Living with the Land is now tier 2. We always like to ride it once each trip, but are not willing to use a FP+ tier 1 to ride it. We've always found standby times reasonable with LWTL, but now with FP+ tier 2, I will try to add it for one day of our trip. Just wanted to let August Disers know in case they are interested in adding it.

Just made the final Payment on our trip... We are really going!! Never feels real to me until the balance is at ZERO. Off to read some more on the boards, never know what I will learn that will make me look over my plans AGAIN haha

I am going to check out my epcot fp and see if I can arrange it for Living with the land...
