*** The Official September 2018 Thread *** let's get started to have some fun

[ariane37]

I keep trying to set my plans for FP but without knowing about the TSL AP event, it is hard to decides how many days/which days to make my TSL FP - since we are at BCV/BWI our last 4 nights I am thinking 2 days for HS where we can just go for those and head back into Epcot - trying to plan MK and AK for our Pop stay since buses will be a necessity anywhere we go.

I wish they'd announce the AP event dates too! We make our FP's in 8 days and it'll be so much easier if the dates are out by then.......

I managed to get BoG lunch ADR for 9/4! So I'll probably cancel my 9/3 breakfast reservation although getting into MK early for 2 straight days is also very tempting

Sep 8-15 for myself!

21 days till I can make my FP selections! I’m following SDD availability everyday through Touring Plans and so far it looks like I’ll be able to score some on 60+1 for around 6pm which is the plan anyway!

I’m no longer a solo traveler. One of dearest friends asked if he could come along and I absolutely said yes! He’s now my partner in crime and we upgraded to a preferred room at Pop. He’ll be dressing as Sally to my Jack Skellington disneybound on our MNSSHP day and we’ll probably have more fun than one is allowed to have!

How does that work? Do you need to have a paid subscription in order to see the fp availability?

That sounds like a lot of fun.

I don't think so? Anyway here's the link to the availability tool: https://touringplans.com/hollywood-studios/fastpass-availability/date/2018-09-15

Thanks. It looks like if your fp day was today then you would have to wait until 60 +3 before you could get a fp for SDD. This will be a great way to know what is available before my 60 day window opens. Thanks.

Still amazed at the dining availability for the first week of September. Just switched our 1900 Park Fare to Crystal Palace and there were several times to choose from after 9am.

My FP day was this past Thursday, and I was able to get FoP on day 1 and SDD on day 2 (and later in thre trip as well). But there are only two of us going so maybe that is why I had a bit of an easier time.

There are only two of us. So maybe we will have good luck, too.

I'm hoping this helps us as well!

I love love love packing, but don’t feel like it is quite time to do so since I still have 57 days to go So, I just sectioned off part of my closet and put our designated Disney World shirts and shorts and whatever else I have ready for us to take! This way, everything is one spot for when I inevitably can’t fight the overwhelming packing urge

I've been wanting to pack, too. I just bought a new shirt for travel day. So excited!!

We are away at the beach this week. As soon as I get home and put away this stuff, I am switching to WDW packing mode! It's one of the best parts of the trip.

 

[ILoveMyDVC]

FP done! - From the beach with limited signal -

Could not get SDD on 9/8 but no problem getting it for 9/15. Have FoP and Navi

I have an AP with a resort reservation and MNSSHP tickets. Not able to book more than the 3 FP for the day. BTMR was available at 5:30.

Time will mostly fly by now except when it doesn't at the last week or if there is a storm forecast.

Bite your tongue!! No storms please.....*knocks on all the wood*

This is my biggest fear!

Snakes > snakes are still my biggest fear but, yes, I am really anxious that there will be storm - really, it will be fine once everyone gets there. We can switch things around and still have a great time but don't tell that to the ADR and FP gods who have smiled upon my plans favorably. (I just printed my itinerary to Google Drive)

We're driving in from Louisiana. Good chance if there is a storm, I'll have to cancel and stay home since I'm a LEO.

We have been saying, no Disney NEXT year for 15 yearsWe were just there 11 days in April and used up all of our DVC points on a 2 bedroomAKL/Poly theme park view split. We were sure it was definitely going to be next September since now we have no points. BUT......my sister booked free dining in September taking my niece and nephew for the first time, and toy story is opening this month. So I just had to see just how cheap free dining at a value would beTurns out very cheap since I can upgrade my required tickets to APs and use them for our next September trip too. So off to pop century we go........Don’t sweat the ADRS, I just booked in May, and already got BOG for both of our MK days. Use touring plans dining finder.

I haven't been on for a while but I finally logged back in and was so glad I'm not the only one who vows to skip a year and finds themselves back in no time. Its always a dangerous game playing "let's see how cheap it would be"...that's what landed us here. We have been SUPER lucky with reservation finder...we have got everything we wanted to far. Now it's time to plan what fast passes we want.
