[dismomma]

We will be going Aug.31-Sept 5 We'll stay at ASMu w/ free dining. We are traveling with family who go all the time so they will be able to help us navigate the best way. This will be the first time they stay at a resort so they will get the extra magic hours. They think I'm so cool now. Just a heads up- On Sept. 3- Magic Kingdom will open at 8 am and close at 1am the next morning. This is a great day to go here and tale a break in the middle of the day or go to another park for a while if you have PArk Hoppers. I told ya'll I was a planning nut.
Have a great time!!!!!

Hi Neighbor-

Since we are traveling with family who just went in May- They are on a tight budget. We won't be able to be in preferred rooms cuz of that but I requested we get the Calypso cuz it's the closest of the non-preferred rooms to the buses, front desk, dining, and game room. It's pretty close to the pool also. Hopefully we'll get it. I was told to call the hotel directly about 10 days before our arrival and speak with someone directly about our request. At that time, if they are availiable, we'll get what we want. If you have any requests, call them in now to the reservations # and then the hotel directly 10 days before. Someone on this site told me about calling ahead earlier this month and I'm glad I did.

We are gonna have a ball.

Are you traveling with children? I will have 2 teen girls (my daughter's friend)and a 10 year old son.

 

[belleincanada]

Oh, that's cool! I wanted to request the Calypso as well, but I thought you had to pay. Awesome, I'm definitely doing that.

Actually, it's just me and the boyfriend - it's our one-year anniversary, and since I work here in Toronto, Canada as a Disney princess and am obsessed with Disney, we thought it'd be a fun place to get away for the week (especially with the DDP deal!)

 

[dismomma]

They told me at the res # that I can request anything I want but it's on a first come first serve basis with no garuntees of getting it. BUT- asking is better than not asking right?

Wow- If this is your one year of dating- Imagine your 10th after marriage. You'll have a wonderful time I am sure.

31 Days-- Whoop-EEEEEEEE!

That's cool, dismomma! We're very excited.


What was the number you called to request the Calypso?

I am going to be verrrry curious to see just how crowded it is during our week there (Aug 12-19). I tried to move an ADRthis week for that trip - no way jose, so very VERY booked solid! We have done this same week in August SEVERAL times now... never had THAT happen, unless we had a huge crew with us (I recall having a problem trying to get seating for 13 at thelast minute - but even then, we got Garden Grille and a good meal.) Nothing really to be had - the CM acted like he had NO CLUE it was Free Dining plan - he actually asked me if I knew if there was "a convention or something, because Ma'am, it is just so booked up!" Ironically - anything I wanted was available on the 12th, LOL. I wish in a very real way we had moved our Disney-portion of the trip to the week of Aug 6, and then done Universal during the 12th, instead of the other way around - sounds like there are going to be LOTS of folks sqeauking in a last summer trip for the dining package. I am sort of hoping it's just a lot of nervous travelers who perhaps made double bookings.... wishful thinking for me, though perhaps at Disney's expense, right? All I can add is - heaven help the soul going that week who has NOT made their ADRs!

All of us August folks will have to report back on what we experience, crowd-wise, at the parks, esepcailly those of you who bridge across more than one wekk - you can give us a comparison!!
