Gorgeous pictures Sly!

Julie - I can't wait to hear how much you love the Fantasy

We are still patiently waiting for our points to be loaded so we can book our April trip! Still torn between VWL and BWV. Has anyone been to WDW in early April? I hope it's not miserable and crowded because of spring break.... We will be there the 7th - 13th

Anyone get chosen for Magic Band use? I just found out this morning. It's been a bit of a trial and error trying to figure it all out.

This is for our mid Sept trip--we're doing WDW before and after our Fantasy cruise.

Yes...all in the timing of Easter and Spring break.

My daughter is getting married in WDW on April 3---we'll be there from March 30 to about April 5 or 6. I've been researching and her wedding week is ranked (unofficially) as 12th best out of the year.

Here's hoping for the best rusafee!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYNAGUY!!!!
Im a day late, I am so sorry, please forgive me

Dynaguy had a birthday!
Another year older, another year wiser. Hope this was the best one yet!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hi Karen!

 

[KAT4DISNEY]

We just had some very nice and well needed rain buta couple good cracks of lightening and no power for the last hour. It's so quiet on the house with nothing buzzing!

Lol-just as I typed that my old 1940's phone rang. It may be old but it's tough to take the old phone system down! My tablet however will only go so long but at the moment it's the oldest and the newest that are entertaining me.

If I'm understanding this correctly with the new fp system you pick 3 fp's per day all in the same park.

What happens if you park hop? Does that mean the 2nd park you go to you're SOL. You won't have a paper ticket to stick in the machine so you have to do standby?

[Muushka]

Sorry E, I haven't a clue how FP are working these days.
But when you get it all figured out, can you write a term paper with the highlights for us????

Happy Birthday to all who have celebrated since I was last here.
Looks like I missed Tammy and Dynaguy.

I returned from my 3 state visit (not too difficult in New England!). Once again, very glad I went.

Sleepy, I love the pictures!

Hey Groupies... I am feeling a little out of sorts today. I just found out that last night, there was a shooting where I grew up near my parents house. A father shot and his 19 year old daughter, 21 year old son, his wife, the family dog and then turned the gun on himself. The wife and son are in the hospital now, but everyone else has been killed.

The girl graduated with my younger sister.... She played basketball with her. They weren't very close - but it's really messing with my head. My brother is 24, my sister 19 and they only lived a few miles away. It's just hitting really close to home. Ugh.

This reminds me of what we were talking about with Bagsmom a while back about her friend. I am so happy it wasn't someone close to us but then I feel guilty for being so relieved.

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Sorry for being such a downer, but I can't stop thinking about it today.

As far as I know, that's how it works. I read somewhere that it is one park per day. Which is really annoying. I am hoping that they change it when it's in production, if not for everyone then at least for Disney resort guests.

I think we will likely hit rope drop at a park and do all our rides standby, and schedule all of our FP+ for our evening park

Totally understandable Rus, tragedies have a way of making us
question life in general and when they invade close to home it can really throw us "off".

Really sad and, yes, so close to home for you. They poor family. The father must have been severely tormented, depressed and had severe mental illness. I've been personally touched by suicide in my family and every time I even read or hear about one it hits me all over again. Thinking of you and your community right now. Wow that's so tough.

Currently that is the word. There have been a few hints from supposed people in the know that later on they intend to allow at more than one park for the hoppers but it doesn't sound like that will be anytime soon. And might never happen I'd guess.

This is for our mid Sept trip--we're doing WDW before and after our Fantasy cruise.

Are you staying at VWL? We are checking in at the end of Sept and haven't received anything but are still hoping.
