Who's Going Oct 09? Plans Are...

[Capt. Barbosa]

Hours have been posted! Check on the Official October 2009 thread for the link.

Here is what I have planned:

The party includes me (33), DH (34), DS (will turn 7 on our trip), DD (3 1/2), my mom, my in-laws, my BIL (32), and my SIL (30-ish).

Our flight arrives at noon on Friday the 16th. Our in-laws are driving and will arrive the 15th, so they will open up the house for us.

Fri., 16th: Arrive, grocery shop, go to Epcot for Illuminations
Sa., 17th: CRT Breakfast, MK
Sun., 18th: DHS, MNSSHP
Mo., 19th: Epcot World Showcase
Tu., 20th: AK, late dinner for DH & I at Cali Grill
W., 21st: Epcot Future World
Th., 22nd: MK, DS's bday dinner at Chef Mickey's, DTD for birthday shopping
Fri., 23rd: Depart on 8am flight

We do plan on taking midday breaks back at the house. I know the 22nd is not optimal for MK because of AM EMH, but it is DS's birthday, and I can't imagine spending it at any other park (especially since it will be our last day!)

Well we will keep an eye out for you! LOL WE are there from Oct 16th to 25th. Its me,DW, DS10 and DS who turns 8 on Sat 17th we will be at the MK
Sun DS
Mon EPCOT

Hi everyone! I cannot believe how close we are getting. When I started this thread, it seemed so far off. Now we are making our adrs. Everyone's plans look like a lot of thought was pur into them. I have been doing and redoing mine.

Anyone trying for an Illuminations Cruise?

Anyone planning to check out Disney Quest?

 

[foltzy]

99 days to go. It's very exciting. I can't believe how close we are, when we started we were at 300 and some days. Now we're in the double digits and about to make ADRs.

We are also from CT and we'll be at the party on the 27th too!

 

[mrsscooter]

Where in Ct are you guys from? We are in the Norwich area. Will be at the Fort Wilderness Campground! Wave.....

We're in Naugatuck! Staying at POP which is new for us but I'd much rather be at Coronado Springs! Although this will be our first trip back to The World in a year and a half so I'm happy just to be going!

 

[mrsscooter]

You will love the Pop if you have kids. They have a splash area, a kiddie pool and a regular pool. The oversized "toys"....Mr. Potato head and Playdough cans are great.........my kids loved them, as well as the big wheel. It is very spread out, and the rooms are smaller than most, but its still a great resort. We had stayed at the Coronado, but decided it wasnt very kid friendly for us. But I think that may have had to do with the fact that we were in what seemed like the last room, of the last building, all the way in the far back corner......LOL I am sure we will pass you guys at some point at MNSSHP! Very close to our 99 day mark....whooo whoooo

 

[Simba22]

nope, no kids for us! We thought about staying at a moderate again this year, but for the amount of time we actually spend in the room, it doesn't make sense to spend the extra money.

See you at the party! Counting today (since it's only 20 after 9 in the morning) we have 100 days to go!

 

[mrsscooter]

I cant beleive I forgot to come here and do my double digit dance!!!!!! What a trageday...........so I will do it now..........



Ok, so the official number is........drum roll please.........................

96 days until we leave!!!!!

have you made your ADR's (Advanced Dining Reservations)yet? Your staying onsite so you can book your Adr's for your trip when you hit the 90 day mark and for the Character Breakfasts and Boma you are going to want to do ASAP. And I think the Mickey,Chip and Dale one you are looking at is Chef Mickeys at the Contemporary Resort.

 

[hrslvr142]

We are headed to the World Oct 17-24. Staying at SSR. Since we are within our 90 days (Woo Hoo) made ADRs for

CP breakfast 10/19
