Little late, but I'm joining in! My first family trip with DH, DD (6), DS (2), and myself begins June 18-25 at CBR. My in-laws will be joining us for a few days as well. DH and I are keeping this a surprise from the kids, hopefully until we get to the magical welcome sign. First time trip for both the kids. We are all excited!

I'm glad to see that everyone is having some luck getting their FP+s!! I make mine on the 11th and still trying to tweak what times I think we want to ride what....and we "hop" so with the new rules of making a 4th FP+ before you leave your current park has REALLY taken the pressure off and changed up what I thought I'd be booking!!

DH gets sooo tired of all my Disney questions and conversations, but lately they've been about which rides does he want before or after he eats!! I think he believes I've totally lost my mind..

In my defense I will say that on our last trip we did Kali River Rapids BEFORE lunch and got totally soaked - which wouldn't always be a problem, but we had lunch at Yak & Yeti and were TOTALLY freezing the whole time..I was wishing for that June sun about then!

For the record, we decided on Kali AFTER lunch , then for HS TSM as soon as we get in the park, Rock & Roll before lunch along with ToT....don't need either of those AFTER lunch at 50's PT!!

Through all my planning questions he always comes back with..."you do all this planning and you know we'll have a great time"...and my response is.."and the first meal you guys hate or ride that's at the wrong time is ALL the master planners fault"!

Can't wait!

Yay!!! Have a wonderful time!!!

Yay!!! Have a wonderful time!!!

We are doing our 8th trip to WDW. Staying at POR June 2-8! Counting down the days and just paid off the trip!

 

[DisneyFleet]

Not sure if I posted yet. We will be at POR from June 1-8 with our in-laws joining us from June 1-4. This will be our second time at POR but our first time in AB section. We have made all of our ADR and FP+. As a typical DISer, I have changed our dining and FP+ a couple of times already. We are super excited to visit our "home" for the 6th time since 2011.

 

[*Tiffers*]

Yay!!! Have a wonderful time!!!

Thank you!

 

[DisMom829]

Just booked a SURPRISE Mom & Daughter only trip for June 5-11! DD has dance recital that afternoon at 2, but I found flights for 9PM, we'll arrive in Orlando at 12:30 AM. Go straight to Pop, our first time staying there. Have planned a late start for June 6th. Managed to get our ADR's and FP's booked all without her knowing!

 

[ArielSRL]

I haven't had as much time to plan this go around, but we are headed "home" June 1-9th! We are renting points and staying at BLT as we've outgrown our go to resort-POR. WL and POR are much more our style, so I'm kinda apprehensive that everyone will like the contemporary vibe...but hey, it's Disney, what's not to like!? Anyway, it'll be me, DH, DD(15), DS(13) and my mom. I started my count down at 444 days, so the fact that it's now at 57 is nuts to me. I'm starting to freak out...but in a good way !

Here is what I have so far...
June 1st-Arrival day (2:35pm)
Disney Springs/pool
QS @ Disney Springs (probably Express Wolfgang)

June 2nd-MK
TS: 8:50am-Chef Mickey's
FP+: 11:05am-Buzz Lightyear (1st ride of the vaca tradition)
2:05pm-Splash Mtn.
3:40pm-Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

June 3rd-EPCOT
FP+: 10:30am-Test Track
11:55am-Mission:SPACE
1:15pm-Short Film Festival
Tour World Showcase
TS: 6:40pm-Via Napoli

June 4th-AK
TS: 8:30am-Tusker House
FP+: 11:05am-Kali River Rapids
12:10pm-Expedition Everest
3:30pm-Festival of Lion King

June 5th-Pool day
TS: 10:05am-Boma
6:35pm-Paradiso 37 (still not sure about this option?)

June 6th-HS
FP+: 10:35am-Toy Story Mania
11:45am-Voyage of Little Mermaid
12:25pm-Tower of Terror
1 or 2pm Beauty & the Beast-Live on Stage
*Possibly PH to different park*

June 7th-BB or TL (have yet to decide)
TS: Still open (hoping for D-Luxe once it opens)

June 8th-MK
TS: 8:45am-WCC
FP+: 12:00pm-BTMR
2:00pm-Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
3:10pm-Space Mtn.
*Possibly PH to different park*

Somewhat loose plans as of right now and I'll probably have to leave it that way. I can see the kiddos wanting more pool/down time. I'm trying to go with the flow this time opposed to the commando style we usually do! If anyone has any suggestions or sees a flaw in my plan, please let me know! Can't wait!!

Thanks!!

We will be at DHS for the first part of the day on June 6th (midday break then hopping to Epcot), and we'll be at MK (all day other than our midday break) on June 8th!

June 4-11th -

We are also 6/4-6/11! I stayed up to book our FP on Monday night and got pretty much everything I wanted. I was worried about 7DMT on arrival day but it was no problem. How did you do?

 

[crazy_cremello]

I'm there from 6/14 until the 6/29! Hooraaaaaah

We are not able to book the FP's yet as we are staying off property! It is killing us! Also we booked Tusker House in AK for dinner and hope we can add the ROL package to it. This is such a hard time to plan at this time of year. So many things up in the air and not showing. Not to mention the park hours are probably incorrect.

Also looks like Star Wars Fireworks at HS are starting back on May 27th. That was a curve ball we hadn't expected. We booked the SOA at the Polynesian figuring HS would be an early evening.....Now we have to rethink this.

Also saw a rumour that Soarin' might open again using the old movie until it is ready. I think we are in for some FP changes, especially at Epcot (Soarin' and the new Norway - Frozen Ever After)!

 

[Avery&Todd]

I booked out FP+!!! Can't even believe it! AND then I did on-line check in too!!

Here's my only question (so far) about the *new* rules for the FP+....I know that we can now book our 4th FP+ via mobile devices AND we can book them for other parks if we're hoping (which is GREAT news for us b/c we hop!)...BUT lets say I only book 2 FP+ for MK in the morning - can I go ahead and book a 3rd FP+ for Epcot for that night or do I have to book a 3rd FP+ for MK (even if I dont use it but I let the time expire) so I can then book my 4th FP+ in MK but for Epcot that evening?

You can just book the 2 for MK and then after you use them, you can book the third for Epcot. But you can't pre-book for two different parks on the same day. Or at least, thats how I am interpreting what I have read so far.

Yes, we have to remain very fluid for our trip! ROL is so up in the air...I just don't know what to think, but I have our AK day planned until 8pm so if it happens, I'll juts need to switch some FP's around. Right now I have 2 half days at Epcot - one with and one without FP. If its just FEA (or just Soarin) that comes up, I'll just have to change 1 FP. If its FEA and Soarin, I'll have to change a couple days around so I get FP for both half days. I saw a more recent rumor that the old SW fireworks will run until June 3rd, then NO fireworks June 4th, then new ones debut June 5th. Our full HS day is June 10th, so we are good to go with that.

Good luck with booking at 30 days out. According to my touring plans, most days are going to be very manageable. The only crazy day is the Saturday 6/4 at MK. But I want my kids' first park to be MK so we are headed there in the afternoon after we arrive.

Do we know if I have to wait until after I've used both FP+ in MK that morning before I can book in Epcot, or if I only have to wait until I've used the 1st one?

 

[ArielSRL]

Hmm...very good question. @hiroMYhero might be able to answer....

 

[hiroMYhero]

Yes, you'll need to use both before you can book a FP for Epcot. The system will alert you that you can't yet book for a different park.

If you decide you want to add on a 3rd FP in MK, the new system does allow for that now.

mesaboy2 is updating his FP thread as info comes in on the new system. He has the updates in his first posts:
