Well, Ain't That Fancy Schmancy! (Not So Much.) A Sept. '13 PTR. Shock-UPDATED 7/2!

Joining in! You will love POR! We have stayed there twice and it really is a gorgeous, relaxing resort.

We are at Caribbean Beach that weekend (9/12-15).
We would love to get to meet up with you at Epcot.

I think your plans sound great. Add me to the long list of people who believe you will love Port Orleans. We have stayed at Riverside 4 times, it was the first place we stayed onsite, way back when it was Dixie Landings. We have stayed in the French Quarter twice. The boat to DTD is relaxing and such a nice way to get around.

Moving to AoA shouldn't be too much trouble. Disney will move your bags for you if you wish. Just check with Bell Services.

I think you should give MNSSHP another try. We have been to the party twice and loved it. We like to go to DTD the morning of the party, shop, have lunch then go back to the room for a nap. After nap time, change into costume and head over to the party. Your party tickets get you in at 4:00. We usually ride a few rides, eat dinner at a counter service and then it is official party time, and time to visit the Trick or Treat candy trails. We watch wishes, then find a good spot to watch the later parade. Then more rides, and trick or treats.

Great trip report so far. It looks like you guys are going to have a lot of fun! Especially with Sawyer's first time without diapers! I have only read the first page so far and its just amazing. Can't wait to read more !

Yay updates! I hope everything settles down for you guys soon!

Your plans look awesome and so exciting! I totally understand not park hopping with 3 kids. Park hopping with just me and DBF seems complicated enough

Sadly, basically none of our park days line up If you do MNSSHP, we will be at the same one though! I understand why you'd be hesitant to do it again, I remember reading about the first one.

We will also be in MK for some amount of time on the 21st so maybe we can run into you there!

Just checked in on your tr, and I'm checking in here as well!!!

We aren't returning until sept 2014. Pretty much these exact dates, well be there 9/13-921 in 2014. If you go the same time next year, I'd love to do a dismeet. My daughter, 8, thinks that she and Julia would be BFFs! Haha

Well be staying at POFQ, we considered a split stay but I don't think we're brave enough for that yet. Lol

I think your plans sound great! I also have the MK tradition (first & last day) lol We are going to be getting park hoppers most likely since we are only paying for two tickets its not going to break the bank however I like to see your plan how you make it work without the hoppers. Makes me start thinking twice if we will really need/utilize the hoppers with a 19 month old. Can't wait to hear more!

Been following your trip report and PRT. We will be there Sunday the 15th to Monday the 23rd. Maybe I will see you. (Flying into Florida on the 13th but going to my brother in law's for the weekend and then he is driving us up to Disney Sunday morning.) The only set park day we have is a water park on the 15th and then Magic Kingdom at night!!.

Love your trip reports and all the pictures! We stayed at POR this past trip (in the princess rooms though) and I absolutely fell in love with this resort. We haven't had a opportunity to stay at any of the deluxe so far but POR is peaceful and beautifully landscaped. I definitely feel away from it all when we are there. We are staying at POFQ this coming Feb but if there are no deals for POFQ and they offer for POR (which is commonplace) we will NOT have a problem switching resorts. Hope you guys love it as much as we do!

 

[Leger13]

Ok now I'm subbed here too

 

[Leger13]

All caught up!! plans sound great so far!

 

[HeatherNJNC]

Jenn, I have become totally addicted to your PTRs and Trip Reports. Your kids are the cutest! We travel in September every year and enjoy the low crowds too (21st through 29th this year). We stayed at POR last year and loved it, hope you do too!

 

[MrsZ]

Just got caught up! I'm loving the PTR!

Late to the party but I'm so in!

 

[epsmith921]

Just realized we may be at crystal palace on the 20th with you guys if we keep our reservation! Now if only I would know if I could get up the nerve to come over and say hi if I see you!

 

[epsmith921]

Okay just saw you guys not long ago in England in world showcase! Cut to me yelling at my husband "that family's famous on the Internet!"

And of course your kids are being perfectly behaved and my kid screamed all the way from Epcot to the boardwalk.

If you noticed a screaming child in England near the hedge maze, that was us!!
