Me too!!!

As for FP dates, I actually booked our trip around making our FP booking date fall on a weekend! OCD! Haha!!! I'm going to take some of my Spring Break to go through what I'd like to book for our FP choices and try to come up with a plan. Anyone else going to plan on 'assuming' the more than 3 and hopping changes will be in effect by July???

Teacher here too and can't wait to plan this week. I too will be up at midnight trying to snag A&E even though I get up for work at 5:30. Thankfully, I have understanding students!

Thankfully, our FP+ landed on a Saturday! I'll be on the computer at midnight though, no doubt!

I am def hoping for this! It will be a bit tricky though...for Epcot and AK we tend to bang out all our blockbusters early, so we can do a half day at AK and so we can spend the second half of the day at Epcot's World Showcase. Using up three and getting a fourth (or fifth!) would be awesome! We go to HS in the afternoon, so that would work out as well. MK is trickier...we tend to arrive for rope drop and save the FPs for when we return in the afternoons. If I knew we would be able to get more I would love some late morning FP as well. I hope this is in effect before my 60 day window!

Teacher here also, however, we lost 3 days of our spring break due to the harsh winter we experienced.

I feel your pain...the same thing happened to our mid-winter recess (president's week) last year because of hurricane sandy here in nyc. We only had one snow day this year so none of our breaks were shortened, but those days were rough getting to work.

Can you add us to the list? We will be at the BC 7/4-7/12. Can't wait!

We are going from June 30th thru July 10th. Wanted to "do Disney" on the 4th. We are celebrating a list of milestones this year, and Disney World seemed like the perfect place. Wife is turning the big 50 in July, 25th wedding anniversary in August ( we came here on our honeymoon. how "sick" is that) DD is turning 21 on the 9th,DD is 18 in Sept. DD is 16 in Sept. DS turned 13 in April. whew! We have passed our Disney World obsession onto our 5 children and couldnt be happier I CANT WAIT!!!

That really stinks!!! I have heard of that happening and always worry it will happen to us. We have to make up 4 or 5 snow days.
I would rather make them up in June rather than losing spring break though.
We leave for Disney on Thursday for our spring break. I can't wait!!!

to our group! Sounds like you are gonna do Disney up right with all those celebrations. We are also celebrating but you win with how many you have. I will add you to the front page, but where will you be staying so I can add that too? I noticed you are from PA, where in our wonderful state of ours?

DH and I will be celebrating something special on our trip too...10 years since we became homeowners! July 23rd is the exact date and during our trip we're going to V&A's one evening to celebrate, while the boys enjoy the Sandcastle Club children's activity center. Also July 9th is the 14th anniversary of when DH proposed to me...a little before our trip but still exciting. We always get excited on that day and I don't think that will ever change.

Tomorrow is our proposal anniversary, which happened at Alfredo's at Epcot 10 years ago.

Regarding FP+ - Our 60day window actually opens while we are at WDW in May! I'm not sure what to do as DD3 will be in our room when I have to book E&A at midnight! I guess I"ll just power up my computer and hope it doesn't wake her! I'm going to get up early to do the rest of them but E&A will be done at midnight! So notonly do I need to have my May trip stuff with me but also my list of July FP+s!! First world problems, huh?

Aww that's so nice! Congrats! DH and I love to celebrate things like that as well as the most major milestones of course. It's a lot of fun to talk about those things with the kids too. When they were younger, we were watching our wedding video with them on our anniversary and they were looking for themselves...they wanted to know why they weren't invited.

Hmm...maybe go to the hotel lobby to do that so you don't wake her? That's so awesome though that the window opens while you are already there!

I haven't posted in a while. We moved to a new house and with packing, unpacking, and just being so exhausted, I really haven't been on much. Hopefully now that things have relaxed a little, I can start planning our trip again. Hope everyone is doing well.

Good idea! We're staying CL so maybe I'll head to the lounge. Didn't think of that!

Great to see you! Best of luck in your new home, enjoy it! Moving is exhausting and of course very time consuming. It must feel great to have all of that done and of course to have more time for trip planning!
