*** The Official August 2016 Thread! ***

Also one of those still changing ADR's, got two Ohana's not sure which one to keep, I have 15 ADR's scheduled, including breakfast BOG, which my girls are having kids meals, may cancel a couple due to not being able to walk midway thru the trip. We were just discussing, trying to eat a lot of salad and fruit at the buffets and leaving off all the carbs.. we have never had this many ADR's before. Hope I don't regret it. But next week it is going to be so hot, we need to stay out of the heat. I also saw somewhere that some days are down to a 6, anyone else heard that.

We have 2 'Ohana reservations too. We decided to keep the late breakfast in hopes that we'd 'walk it off' before bedtime Dinner is good there, but our reservation was so late we'd basically eat then go to bed so we dropped it recently.
We have a ton of ADR's too - hoping to try sharing a few meals or getting kids meals to avoid rolling down Main Street MK lol We just want to try everywhere but I'm afraid we should drop a few ADR's too. Good luck with your decision

Want to make sure any interested August Disers know about this discount. When you buy a QS meal at select MK venues, you get 10% off a variety of stores in Disney Springs (just save receipt from QS meal). I saw this posted on another thread today, but it will apply to all August visitors, so wanted to pass it on here.

Thank you for this information. 10% is a good discount

I am going in 3 weeks!!! Got my magic bands but no magical express tags- should I be worried?

We have the opposite! Got the magical express but no magic bands

Same here...I was planning and planning. Everyone is excited to go but don't understand the amount of planning involved. That's ok...once we get there I relax and enjoy the magic! (other than obsessing about getting to a breakfast ADR on time! Lol)

We are going 8/26-9/3 too!

 

[JerseyGirl]

4 weeks to go. I seriously need to leave my plans alone and stop tweaking them lol. My family thinks I'm crazy

Me too! I need to change my focus to clothing and what I need to buy for packing. Just can't stop with the FP tweaking...

My plans are set, been that way for weeks. We are 18 days away from leaving NY now. DW and I are working on getting our clothing packed. Haven't started on the kids stuff yet, but we have packed a lot of the stuff we are going to need in the house.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We are there too, same days, leaving on Friday, are you guys at the AKL, I thought I had seen that somewhere? We are at POR

No we're checking into SOG on Sunday and then moving over to an off site condo Wednesday

When renting a house I've found the only thing s for the house we need are a cheese grater and my nutribullet. They are pretty well equipted

We have our magic bands...decals applied to two of them but I'm still deciding what to do with the other two....MDE luggage tags arrived...still stalking MDE for a Frozen FP+...dining reservations made but I'm questioning one of our lunch ADRs and will probably cancel it...mental packing list started... I can't wait!

What time was your ADR? We have a late one at CRT, 8:30 but it is open until 2am so we are good...last trip all we could get was 9:30, same situation and it worked out great because of the late closing. Normally I agree, we try to eat no later than 7:30. My Ohana is 5:20, I have one on another day that is 8:00, thinking of keeping the 5:20 though.

Our time was 9:20pm. Supper would have tasted great but then it would have sat like a brick in my stomach! We are going to keep the 11:00am breakfast on our non-park day. I would have kept the dinner if it was 5:20. Generally we like to eat only 2 meals a day at Disney - late breakfast and early dinner (too hot to eat any more than that, but I have been know to find room for a Dole Whip)

I was referring to hand soap, bath soap, shampoo, napkins, garbage bags, sponges, cleaning supplies etc.

Do you get Disney nails? I'm a disney freak and always do. Not sure what to do this year though. Pinterest is bad haha

I tried to attach a pic of my nails last year for Disneyland.
