[crazedprincess]

I haven't put in enough time to even have a plan yet lol.

Me too!!!!

 

[Tomh]

I am actually sitting here trying to work on that right now . . . . probably need to stop posting on the DIS for a bit hahahaha

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

I had to have my plans narrowed down early bcuz we are trying the CL xFps trial and I made all my FPs May 20th.
It is an odd feeling to have everything done, just waiting on the MNSSHP dessert party to open.
I have already tweaked my FPs a little, but now I sit here twiddling my thumbs...

Our August 2018 rough itinerary

updated *NOW* 2 week trip to WDW: Aug 19 - Sept 1

Day 1: Travel/Disney Springs
Day 2: Epcot (Biergarten)
Day 3: MK *Early Morning Magic* (Crystal Palace)
Day 4: HS (HVine Fantastic package)
Day 5: MK (Cindy Castle + Liberty Tavern) (Dessert party MK)
Day 6: Typhoon Lagoon + 'Ohana Dinner
Day 7: Epcot (Akerhouse)
Day 8: EMM at MK then AK (Tusker House)
Day 9: HS (Sci-Fi + 50's Prime) (Dessert Party SW)
Day 10: Halloween Party in evening (Chef Mickey's lunch)
Day 11: AK (Boma)
Day 12: Epcot (opening day of Food + Wine)
Day 13: DHS a.m. + Halloween Party p.m. (Be Our Guest)
Day 14: Sleep in then Travel

may seem like a lot but we roll at a relaxed pace because we have so many days. MANY afternoons at pool/Nap and some late mornings and early evenings.

opted to stay at Pop Century w/ free dining and use the extra $ (instead of staying deluxe) to do ALOT of extras (2 Halloween, 2 EMM, 2 Dessert parties, DS shopping etc)

That's pretty much why we stay Value, it allows a long trip with some extras. The longer trips allow for flexibility and down time so we don't feel like we need a vacation when we get back home.

Check in date of 7/30, so fast pass day is tomorrow. Very excited

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

Fellow August travelers,

I read somewhere that August hours may change slightly from what they are now. Is that a possibility?

 

[ColonelHathi]

86 days to go for us and I feel like I haven't been paying attention much - too busy with work trying to make $$ for our trip I guess?
Here are our plans. We are also staying at the Poly, same dates as EllyLovesDisney, but different park days!

Me, dh, ds12, and dd9 (barely, she becomes a "Disney adult" in September ).

We're packing in the parks this time, but also planning midday pool/rest breaks each day.

Aug 25- Arriving midday, HS with loose plans in the PM
Aug 26- MK - pre-park breakfast at CP, dinner at The Plaza
Aug 27- EPCOT - late dinner at SRT - watch Illuminations from SRT
Aug 28- 'Ohana breakfast/Typhoon Lagoon most of day/Boardwalk area - Beaches N' Cream dinner
Aug 29- AK - either pre-park breakfast or dinner at Tusker House depending on Pandora FoP FP
Aug 30- MK - pre-park breakfast at BOG
Aug 31- HS AM only - lunch at 50's PT/MNSSHP PM
Sept 1 - head home mid-morning

Yes, they sometimes add EMH hours in the AM and extend hours/add EMH hours in the PM. (For June, they added hours on May 11, For May it was April 14)

I booked my first WDW vacation! My and my 6 year old daughter will spend 5 days at the end of August! I am so excited for my sweet daughter to meet all her princesses : )

I booked most of my dinner reservations and I bought a package deal so hopefully I will not have to do much thinking : ) LOL

I hate roller coasters as I get motion sickness but I am working on a plan to let her ride if she wants.

Does anyone know how to add a picture to my profile?

Thanks!

My plan so far but most likely to change here and there multiple times before we leave.

Aug 13: Red Eye Flight to MCO from Spokane, WA. (Both my son and I sleep well on planes so not too worried about this and it gives us more time in the parks)
Aug 14: Arrive at 7:33am Check-In at ASMo then Epcot for the day Garden Grill lunch 12:10pm
Aug 15: MK day Skipper's Canteen lunch 12:55pm end the day at Beaches and Cream 9:40pm
Aug 16: Undecided BOG Breakfast 10:10am
Aug 17: AK AM Tusker House Lunch 12:50pm, MNSSHP in the evening
Aug 18 : HS Fantasmic Dinner Package H & V 7:50pm
Aug 19: Disney Springs before we have to head to airport for long flight home.

I like your itinerary but it is the info in your signature at the bottom that I can't stop looking at.

 

[Mika02]

So I had Surgery 2-3 weeks ago and I feel like I lost the groove on my planning especially I have to move out of my house either before we leave or when we return. Haven't even been able to call the Club Level Line to put in my request. Looking forward to our trip though but still so much to do.

Disney has played a huge role in my life through all the ups and downs. I started a trip report back in 2011 and am just picking it back up now. If you want to read it here is the link. It encompasses three WDW and two DL trips.

I look forward to it. I suspect there will be a lot of emotions involved but also inspirational
