I am subbing! I cannot wait to hear about your trip. You go right before me! I LOVE your bag. That is precious! I may have to have one once we get back. Right now we are in save mode. Cannot wait to see all the pics!

 

[BearcatsFan]

Love the D&B bags!

Sounds like some good planning, looks like a good trip with just the right amount of rest time!

Love the D&B

Welcome and thanks for reading! I LOVE the bag - I will let you know how it holds up in the parks. I also have a larger one for everyday - I am not ashamed of how Disney-fied it is!

Love the D&B bags!

If I could, I'd buy them all. I may pick up a wallet while in WDW.

Yes, we can't wait to take it a bit slower, especially with the heat!

In two weeks I will be headed to WDW

So, last night I downloaded the Disney Mobile Magic App...and I have to say I am a little disappointed. A few years ago I had an app that was a bit more user friendly, but can't remember which it was.

Does anyone here know if Mobile Magic will have FP and wait times? Because right now it doesn't.

What I DID like was that you can enter your travel dates as well as your resorts, so you can explore the resort while on WDW property. Very cool. My fear with the app is that I will constantly be on my phone in the park...nobody likes those people.

Ok, I promise to update with ADRs soon!

 

[BearcatsFan]

I know nothing about aps. We have dumb phones.

Your trip is getting so close! Can't wait to see your ADRs!

[jjohnson]

I was just double checking the park hours & they've been extended. I hope this doesn't translate to crowded

 

[jjohnson]

Wow they also added a 2nd showing of Fantasmic every night. Maybe we should go to the later show

 

[BearcatsFan]

Your ADRs look great!

I see the Plaza in there a couple of times. Have you been there before? We're going this trip for the first time, and I'm looking for some reassurance!

 

[teekathepony]

Sounds like a great list of ADRs, there's a few there I haven't tried, I'll be reading along to see what you think of them.

I foresee lots of crowds - I will have to update our itineraries and day-to-day plans. So much to do, so little time!

I've been to The Plaza twice and it is great for lunch. Very tasty sandwiches.

Great! I plan on posting separate posts for dining reviews - lots of detail and lots of pics!

So...DVC is offering a reception for DVC members at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. We can "mix, mingle, and enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres and drinks" ! Joyce, Father and I will be going. Super excited!

Also, hours have been extended and two Fantasmic! shows are up for almost every night. I hope it is not an indication of the crowds to come! It will also be interesting to see how our park touring changes due to the new FP system. Kinda scared for that.

That is all for now...I will have a longer update tomorrow perhaps with a little bit more about us!

Thanks for reading!

PS ~ SINGLE DIGITS!!! 9 MORE DAYS!!!

 

[BearcatsFan]

9 days?!? I keep forgetting how close you are!

The reception sounds like fun. You'll have to share details when you get back.

I would look at them adding another Fantasmic! show as a plus. To me, that's less people that will be trying to cram into the one-and-only-one when they only have one showing, KWIM?

Doing the single-digit-dance with you!

I like your positive spin on Fantasmic! I'll try to keep that in mind as I'm fighting my way through crowds in 90+ degree

8 days now!
