Anyone else snag FP+ for BOG lunch?

I have the latest possible one on the 4th. Still debating keeping it though. I've been for dinner, and I feel like the lunch choices are just okay. I could eat at my resort before heading over haven't decided. I'll probably keep it because I want a cupcake, but who knows.

We are only at POR for one night to see what a royal room is like. We are excited though and I think DD will love it!

My husband and I stayed in one last June and we LOVED it!!!!

4th of July people... I just got off the phone with Disney.

There are still some open spots on the 4th of July Pirates and Pals fireworks cruise!

You can see the fireworks without the MK insanity that way. I'm booked, I'm excited. I wanted to watch from main street, but this seems so much less hot and stressful. Here is the info for anyone interested (it leaves from the contemporary at 745):

We're not there on the 4th but have done this before and really enjoyed it. One thing Disney should add to the know before you go list..... There are no bathrooms on the boat so take it easy on the included drinks and snacks before you sail.

We leave in 9 days to visit family in Florida before going to Disney.

I can't believe some of our group have actually begun their trips...this is so exciting!

I'm glad to know others still haven't told the kids yet. You guys must have sent some pixie dust our way because I talked to DH about pulling off a last minute surprise and he was totally game!!! Eek! Just days ago he was pretty set on telling them a couple weeks ahead of time. Now we just need to figure out how we'll tell them!

This is all causing me to really feel the magic. I took today off to spend some one-on-one time with DS5. While waiting for the rain to clear up, we just rented Little Mermaid and Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Time to prime them for the trip!

We are thinking of moving our August trip to July 22-28. This is still 30+ days out. The one thing I'd hate to give up is our Anna & Elsa FP+. Can anyone who is going during those July dates tell me if I have any chance at getting a FP+ for Anna & Elsa? If so, what dates and times?

I appreciate any help as I have no other way of checking and our trip dates are kind of hanging in the balance. Thanks in advance.

22nd I see 9-11am and 230-past midnight
28th I see- 540pm until 1040 pm

based on that I'm sure the inbetween has some options too

 

[violetjaymom]

See you there!

you are there during the same time?

We just got back from seeing Malelificent, it was AMAZING! DD8 LOVED it.

Went to Target today. Picked up an Anna and Elsa t-shirt for DD and then I saw a boys t-shirt with Mickey decorated in an American flag. Was going to get it for DS, but realized he already has a shirt for 4th of a july sooooo..... I got one for me instead. Lol. Can't wait to wear it.

 

[think-like-tink]

Keep checking the clearance section, I found a Pumba and Simba shirt that says Hakina Matata for 3.00. SCORE!

We're braving the crowds in MK on the 3rd so we'll be at EP on the 4th. Otherwise, I'd do it!

I will be there on the 3rd too. I'll probably not be there until after fireworks though. I really wanted to see it from main street, but I just don't think I am patient enough to wait from where I want to see it. In the heat. With the entire world's population. Next year I am booking the dessert party at 180. No doubts.

Looking for advice- we currently have an ADR at Rose and Crown on our Epcot day, but thinking of canceling it. If we push through all day I'm thinking the kids might just want to go back to the hotel (not worried about Illuminations) or if we take the break and head to WS in the afternoon/evening I'm thinking we might just want to do a QS or hit the Boardwalk. Thoughts?

My kids, and my husband and I, pretty much NEED that mid afternoon break at the resort.

Why not take the afternoon off, then return for that ADR?
