So my travel agent was able to change our reservation today so we will now be staying at Wilderness Lodge..so excited..53 days to go

I also logged in to look at how many days. 38!!! I can not wait. No Mickey mail yet. I keep checking.

Do they send anything else besides the magic bands?

 

[bcinohio]

If you booked a package they will send you the documents about 30 days out. That is what we received for our Dec trip along with our MB's. They did not come together. I have not received anything yet for the July trip.

Anyone doing MM? We have used photo pass and done the cd - I looked at the ride pictures but we won't take advantage of those. Should we just by the advance cd instead of MM? Will that connect to our MB?

 

[think-like-tink]

From what I understand, it should link to the MB's. I hope someone chimes in for a confirmation on that. I haven't ordered yet, maybe I will do that tonight.
What ride photos can you get with MM?

 

[bcinohio]

I purchased it with our package (room & tickets). It shows up on MDE account. From what I understand it will already be ready for us to use our MB when we arrive.

 

[think-like-tink]

I just purchased MM, it said I need to go to will call to pick it up.


What am I picking up? Is it a card like photo pass was?

48 days for us! I feel like I need to tell you guys every time that this is our first trip For adults and kids, so we are beyond excited.

61 days for me! Tomorrow is my FP+ day....must get Elsa and Anna so we don't have to stand in line for 8 hours. Seriously... If that was really the case, we would just skip it because this mom loves her daughter, but I am not waiting in THAT kind of line.

Be prepared to be completely bitten by the Disney bug...adults and kids alike!

Seriously, I loved WDW as a kid. We went as a family when I was 8 and 12. Then I went with the chorus in high school twice, to compete in the All American Music Festival (9th and 11th grade). But when I was 31 and went back as a mom with my own family, there was something just so magical about it, even more so than when I was a kid. I guess it was seeing the looks on my boys' faces when they saw everything...even my little one who was only 14 months old at the time, he was mesmerized by Minnie Mouse on our first night at dinner at LTT (they used to have characters there at dinner). And that was it...they loved it so I loved it more than I ever did! And now this will be our 4th trip to WDW as a family. Sometimes I think DH and I love it more than the kids do!

Good luck w getting E&A, but I'm sure you'll be fine even if not going on at midnight.
One reason why I'm glad I had boys. They never had any interest in seeing characters. I waited in my first character lines last year w my niece. They are not fun!!! Lots of wasted time when we could've been on rides. Lol

we also ordered the MM and it didn't say anything about picking something up. Back when Disney sold photo pass plus they would give you a DVD with pictures of characters, park icons, etc. along with a list of everything the photo pass included. Perhaps it is still something like this.

43 more days.....can't wait. We love our Disney Vacation Countdown widget!!! Download it to your phone and it keeps a daily tracker on your home screen.

I hope I can make it to midnight. I am usually "watching tv with my eyes closed" at 9. Haha! Maybe I'll take a nap first.

Did it give you a code? If so, and you can still do your MBs, you can add the code to have it put on your MB. Otherwise, yes, you have to go somewhere at the park. I have no idea where because I haven't had to do that, but I remember reading about it on the boards somewhere.

Yes, don't mind me.. I'm just overly helpful.

What ride photos can you get with MM?

I just went through all of the steps to purchase it without actually getting it - I had to choose a shipping address or to pick up at will-call - I'm guessing they send a card? I assume I'd have to link that to MDE?

It looks like all of the big rides are included - EE, Splash Mtn, Space Mtn and a bunch of others - DD3 is just too little for those so only DH will be riding - but I guess I can just get his solo shots!

I purchased it with our package (room & tickets). It shows up on MDE account. From what I understand it will already be ready for us to use our MB when we arrive.

I think that a card will get mailed to me and I have to link the code...

I think it is a card... I'm choosing to have it mailed for free (will arrive around June 12th according to the site which is a month before our trip)

I hope that the thing that arrives in the mail will have the code on it - I'd prefer to link it and take care of that before we arrive!

Thanks everyone for your help! I think we will go for it because we are doing a bunch of character meals and it looks like most of them are included!

Did you make it!? How'd it go?

So I took a nap and woke up at 12 to book and we got everything we wanted. I was especially excited to get Elsa and Anna so easily.

Then....it took me until 2:30 to fall back asleep because all the plans were going around in my mind. So, a little tired this morning, but it was all worth it.
