Well, I have been MIA.....and I have missed A LOT!!! Although, I don't feel quite as behind with you as I have been following along on fb......
Boo for your hubs injury. I'm glad that he is back in the saddle....hehehe
OMG, the pic of the girls holding their nails out is TOO CUTE!!!!! I love Maddie's cheeks!
I DID NOT KNOW THAY YOU CAN SAVE THE RIDER SWAP FOR NIGHT!!!! OMG, I might need to switch up some of our fp now....... I love the DIS!!!! y'all are helping us have the best first trip ever (well, probably not as good as yours.....but maybe the second best!!!! hahahahaha
)
I love that your shoes got some recognition!! They are awesome!!!!!
Aww thanks! I have barely seen or heard from you though lately, all the OT you are putting in, huh?!?! It will be paying off
VERY soon, in like 3 months when you have the trip of your life and don't have to worry about real world things like money and work and such... teehee!!!
YES! Rider swap, you go up as a group when your first set of people go to ride so they can see that you have a child who is too small to ride, and then they will give you a RS ticket. The ticket only has the date on it, not a return time. So you can use is
ANYTIME that day! This is a BIG advantage for us with the littles bc we can use up all our FP+ in the day, book more after that and still be guaranteed a ride on your fave ride in the dark! People without the littles either have to save the FP+ through the day, this not getting to book more, or they have to risk getting the ride they want at the time they want after they use their initial 3.
When we were there in March the line for Living with the Land was about 45 minutes without fp+ - same for Spaceship Earth, at least part of the day. Later the line for LWTL was walk-on. I would not have wasted a FP for it, eventhough I love the ride.
I know that the parks are not going to be super busy when we are there, but I still plan on getting my 3 FPs each day - just to be on the safe side, so I can ride the rides I really want to get on.
Terri, your plans look good to me, but I've never done the rider swap - can you swap to come back at a later time? I thought you had to swap out and ride it right away?
Yea, I cannot imagine waiting that long for a ride like that, but then again it is in the AC!
I am def booking my FP's too, just in case! I already know there are some I might not use though.
And rider swap, I just explained above. You can use the ticket anytime that day, it does not have a return time!
On your previous trip did you go to the 8 or 10 o clock Fantasmic! show? I am debating the dinner package for it and wondering how crowded it will be in September.
Also, where did you find the binoculars at AK?
Thank you!
We did the 10pm show and I loved it. You should have seen the crowds that were leaving the park after the first show, it was crazy! I am pretty sure like 70% of the people went to that one. The stadium was not even half full for the 10pm show and when we left we walked right up to our bus line and got on the first bus!! This was late Aug, so I think Sept will be even less crowded
We also did rides/shopping right up until about 9:30, no need to get to the stadium super-crazy early when you go to the later showing. I wish we could do that again, however, I guess bc crowds are expected to be low, both the nights we are in HS this time they are only having one showing.
We found the binoculars in AK at a small stand right across from the Pagini Trail entry/exit, its where you come off the Safari ride, so if you want them for the safari go to the exit area first, they were so cheap for a Disney souvenir too, like $5-6... I actually just pulled them out the other day and stuck them in my Disney box to take back this time and now that Maddie is older I suspect we will be purchasing a second pair too!
