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

I had booked a car rental several months ago for my trip. Last nite I decided to try again and see if I could get a better rate. I was able to save over $100! Am a happy camper today.

Does anyone know the name of the 'clip' at the begining of this YouTube or its origin???? LOVE it!

If you're talking about the song at the beginning, it's "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons.

To all the September 1st people, what are your plans for arrival day? I'm just curious

Yes and the video clips. Matches perfectly - someone had to have put it together.

My flight doesn't get in to MCO until 3pm, I'm headed to the resort, then to DS for dinner at Raglan Road, then depending on how much energy I have left, I made FP's at MK for that evening.

September 2nd arrival here. My current plan is no park day but with both MK and AK having extended hours, I might add 1 day to my ticket and visit one of those.

I could ask DH who is extremely cranky today if he'll stand by the box (can't see it from the house) for the 3 hour window they deliver.

Checking in with 21 days until I arrive on September 1st. I'll be celebrating my birthday and having my first stay at AoA.

Also, looks like there were some extended hours announced yesterday for September 1-3.

I don't arrive until after 11pm so I'm just going straight to the hotel to crash! The following day I'm doing rope drop at the AK, which is now an hour earlier!

My flight arrives MCO at 9am. I've taken this flight a few times and found that I can be in the parks by 11-11:30ish. I'm planning to head to DHS since there are only a few attractions I want to do there. TouringPlans has the crowds at DHS this day listed as a 1. I'm not sure if I buy that, but we shall see. If everything goes according to plan, I will be out of the park by 4:30-5ish and head back to the resort and crash since I will have gotten up at 4am.

We will arrive on August 31. We are leaving our home around 6ish on August 30, so we should be in Disney (including gas and bathroom breaks) by about 4-5am. We will be hitting MK this day for EMH and we will have Chef Mickey's brunch a little after 12 and then head back to the resort to swim and relax! September 1, we will be at HS!

Our first park day is also the 31st--doing MK, and the 1st is a HS day. See you there! LOL.

Apologizing in advance for any anxiety this induces. I check it everyday like a lunatic. So far so good.

33 days here!! I went to the store and bought some random things for our trip today. Camping dish sheets (to wash out our refillable mugs), clearance tanks and tshirts, cooling towels, and toiletry bags.
I couldn't find throwaway ponchos anywhere so I may have to order some on Amazon.

I found some on Amazon that have a drawstring on the hood and elastic at the wrists. They seem to be pretty long, too. I'm actually excited about them. Sad, I know.

20 days now. I'm posting a Top 20 Countdown of my favorite Disney songs on my Facebook page. 1 song per day.

Our flight lands at 8a. Just doing a pool day at Pop and dinner at Homecomin' at 5p. Shopping for a little bit after and then probably go back to watch the movie by the pool

23 days and I feel like I’ve been stuck in the 20’s forever! Magic Bands will be here today!

I'm running my crew ragged on day one lol. Luckily we can sleep in a little on 9/2.

Sounds like our plans! We are going back to the resort after Raglan though, maybe stop at TOTWL afterwards.

Are all Magic Bands the 2.0 version now? I want to buy a Magic Band skin. Just making sure I get the right one.

Three weeks from today, my daughter and I will either be in a pool or eating lunch at Disney World! Can’t believe it is coming up. This summer flew by!
