***The Official June 2016 Thread***

[Avery&Todd]

OK everyone, who is ready to share their dining plan?? I must fully disclose that we are on the DxDP and our boys are 16 and 14 and love to eat (in general) but love trying new foods at Disney so we make our meals as exciting as possible!! We do 3 TS meals a day - breakfast is early, lunch like 1pm and dinner is late(r) - DH needs an a/c break at lunch since we only go in June so there are NO outside tables for us! . We are arriving the day before our package starts so our first dinner & breakfast will be OOP and then we have 3 2-credit TS dinners so those extra credits will be made up by 3 other meals paid OOP..I'm already full just looking at it!!

the *'d locations are NEW to us and we're so excited to try them!! and look at that - we have 20 ADRs and out of that are 9 "NEW to us" places and we have a new one each day - I'm impressed with ourselves!!

Day #2
B'fast @ Grand Flo Cafe* - OOP

We are not on a dining plan, and my preference is to not book too many TS meals. On our first trip, we were on the DDP and while we enjoyed the meals and character interactions, I found that for the most part, the restaurants were overrated and took a lot of time from our park experience! This year we will be winging it and doing a lot of snacking and QS. That said, I couldn't help but make a few ressies for this trip, just in case!

Day 1: 50' Prime Time

Day 2: BOG lunch

Day 3: No ressie yet

Day 4: Tusker House breakfast

Day 5: Crystal Palace breakfast
BOG lunch

Just booked Kidani Village Savannah view yesterday! June 8 to 12. I am so excited. I haven't stayed at AKL since 2007 and have never stayed in Kidani so I am overjoyed!

YAY! There is a board for this? !
(Is my newness showing?)
We are arriving May 30 for 6n, first day in the park May 31 so I feel like I belong on this board. Hope that's okay!

My husband and I are both college students, he works full time and I work just barely part time, married right out of high school. ♡ We've been saving for this! Both of our first trips in about 10 years except for a friend's 21st birthday in (formerly) DTD, but no park visit so does that count? (No! )

So we are bringing our daughter for her first visit, and 5th birthday celebration, as a surprise! We are staying at the cabins in Fort Wilderness and my MIL and FIL are joining us for the weekend, and are also celebrating their birthdays

So far, we have:
1) Arrival: dinner @ Whispering Canyon
1)Breakfast @ CRT
2)Late lunch @ Mama Melrose (?) Fantasmic pkg
3)BBB at DS, hot air balloon ride, and dinner at 1900 PF on "day off from the park"
4) Date night w DH while DD stays with M/FIL @ Sanaa and they bring her to the Chip n Dale s'mores campfire/movie
5) Dinner @ Akershus
5) Lunch at BOG (aiming for dinner if possible though)
And her first hair cut at Harmony Barbershop beforehand^ (Yes, first hair cut at 5. She has dark blonde curls that go from mid back wet to shoulder length dry, and nothing but whispy puffs for the first three years of her life!)

plus lots of CS meals! (Have the standard disney dining plan)

We also already have the photo package!

If you have any wonderful ideas to make her birthday magical, please let me know!
Preferably cheap or free because we're about to exceed our budget!

What does "Parade: Dark" mean? No parade?

 

[webcreatrix]

My assumption is this is the time of the parade - after dark. Can't wait to find out!

Dark means not running. The AK parade stopped when the Avatarland construction began. The only park with parades is MK.

What are the likely park hour changes that haven't been announced? Is it likely that MK will open at 8 am instead of 9 am? I haven't been in June for several years so I don't remember, and I have a pre-park opening ADR at 8:05 that if MK does change to an 8 am opening I'd probably want to change. Thoughts? TIA!

 

[piglet1979]

We are eating at:
Liberty Tree Tavern
Teppen Edo
San Angel Inn* (might be changing this after seeing the review last week on the Dis Podcast)
Hoop Dee Doo Revue*
Rain forest Cafe at AK*
Sci-Fi*

It's possible for some dates to change to an 8am, but most will be extended evening hours.

Thanks for the heads up! I moved our 6:40 ADRs for Boatwright's to 5:00, to give us time to get back to AK afterwards.
