Just found this

We booked our bounceback free dining ( fall break )

Oct. 3-13th(hope my dates are right Sat.- Tues. 10 nights)
POP
MNSSHP Oct. 6th Tues.

I have began my spreadsheet and plugging in the crowd calendar days as they become available. I love this part So far we want ( I am also excited to see how and if we will be booking online for our ADR's)

LeCellier L
LeCellier D
Crystal Palace~Breakfast
Tusker House~Breakfast
Sci-fi
Coral Reef
O'hanas
Flame tree BBQ
Earl of Sandwich
Rays Starlight Cafe
Pizza planet
Caseys hotdogs
Mexican CS in Epcot


I am really hoping that Disney will allow us to swap TS for CS during this time frame. We love alot of the CS places and not paying for the TS makes us feel like we are not losing our money or that we have to get every dollar out of the plan. I will book somthing to be safe.

Now, I really need to find a part time job by Jan. to pull this off. My DS will be a senior next year and hate to spend the money as I am sure we will need alot for him. I am hoping to have everything pd. for by start of school. I will plan and if the door opens we will go, if not we will stay home and plan for another time.

Well I have not found a job as of yet but I will not give up hope. My son has a great job for this summer and he wants to pay for most of it. I just got off the phone with Disney and added 3 more teens to our party and we will celebrate them in their last year of high school. They do not take senior trips here and my son can not swing band next year so this is his chance to travel with his friends.Getting excited all over again and can not wait to see what 4 17 year olds dress up like at MNSSHP.

We have 181 1/2 days till we're at Disney again. Last time we were there ( last Oct.) we bought into DVC so we'll be staying at BLT from 10/25-11/01. We're so exciting to be going back. We're planning on buying our NSSHP tickets on 05/01/ for the 31st. And of course we need to figure out our costumes. I have no idea about dining yet since DH won't sit down and go over menus.

Can you tell I'm a little excited for our trip?

Changed my trip plans this past Monday. After reading this thread and learned that I could get free dining for my dates of October 3-10, I convinced the others in our travel party to cancel our house at WH and stay on property. We are now booked at All Star Sports (kids choice) for free dining AND MNSSHP. It doesn't get much better than that!!! I am so excited to be staying on property now and starting to plan my dining reservations. I already have my park days figured out. I wish I knew how to make a spread sheet to record my information.

Hope that all of the Disers staying at Pop in 2009 will come and join this new and improved thread: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2033980

I have a complete list of who is going to Pop, their travel dates and what they are celebrating. Hopefully, some of us will see each other there!

Great minds think alike, don't they We have requested the touchdown building, as I did not pay for preferred rooms in the surfs up building, but want to be close to the main areas (food court, bus stop). On the ASSP thread, they let me know that none of the buildings are far from the main building, but touchdown is obviously closer by looking at the map. I have started working on my ADR's since I am planning for a Grand Gathering I have to make sure they are agreeable with everyone. I am exctied about MNSSHP and now have to decide what we are going to dress up as. Lots to do! Have fun planning.

We are going 10/23 - 11/1. No ADRs planned yet but we have out tickets for MNSSHP on Halloween night!! We are also going to go to the party one other night during the week, plus see Cirque and hopefully do the Backstage Safari at AK!

172 days to go!!

 

[mrsscooter]

We too just bought our tickets for the MNSSHP......we were able to buy them on April 30th........wooohooo. We are going on Tuesday the 27th. We wanted to go on Thursdays, the 29th, but the only night that our group could do the mickeys back yard barbecue. The only draw back about going on that tuesday is that we will have just gotten to the fort that monday afternoon. Friends of ours had gone two years ago on Halloween night and said that it was absolutely mobbed and not much fun because of all the chaos. We had gone in 2006 but not on halloween, and we had a great time....crowds, but nothing crazy. We just cant wait to go!

We had booked last Oct for 2 weeks at POP with the bounce back offer (free dining). But when I checked the price now it was less with the new offer so we rebooked and now we can't wait to start making ADR.
We are hoping to try a number of new places this trip*
Narcoossees*
LeCellier
Sanaa*
Marakesh*
Hoop-De-Doo *
Cinderela's Royal Table
San Angel Inn
Mama Melrose
Akerhaus
Kona Cafe'*
Rose & Crown*
Tonys
Big River Grill*

I can't get the people in my party to figure out if they want to go to MNSSHP so if they don't answer me by tomorrow I will just get tickets for DD14 and I.

October 14th - 18th Girls only trip! Hubby is burned out on Disney (how is that possible!?) Maybe b/c I make him go every year, ha!

Anyway...right now we are staying at SOG b/c my girlfriend is a navy vet unless we can get any other deals. Kind-of excited to stay at SOG though bc I'd never get the opportunity to try it otherwise.

Planning on MNSSHP on the 15th. Also, planning on hitting the food and wine festival. Never been to either so I'm super excited to try something new at Disney. No ADRs yet. Probably do Crystal Palace though, its a favorite...

 

[izzie-wizzie]

[manntra]

October 3rd - 11th
AKL, BW then on to OKW

 

[TCups4Me]

We just booked this week for Oct 24-29 at BC. DS1's first visit!! We got a steal with a great pin code and I can't believe how quickly the rooms are booking up.

We've only been in November so we're excited to see the halloween decorations and experience October. What are the crowds like? We made it a point to avoid Columbus day but now I'm hearing about fall breaks! Please tell me that fall breaks are nothing like spring breaks. And how come we didn't have fall breaks way back when I went to school???

We have experienced a couple Jersey Weeks and really didn't find the crowds to be too bad at all so hopefully our dates in Oct will be similar, if not better. But I'd love to hear some confirmation of that!

I just changed my September trip to October 7th to 20th.
13 Great days

Too worried about September love bugs
Even though they are harmless, I am not happy with swarms of bugs flying around (and landing) all over me.

I just remembered that the last time we went in September was a few years back and there were zillions of them all over that year.
They are not ususally that bad but I'm not taking any chance.

Couldn't even go in the pool because when you got out, there was no where to sit since they covered all the lounge chairs. We cut our trip short and came home 3 days early that year since I was practically having panic attacks.

Joining the October thread! Can't decide if I want to try and add on the free dining and tickets to my bounceback offer, or just forget about it, since we are doing the Epcot Food and Wine fest (any advice?). But...will be there regardless the 1-4th!
