    Pre-Trip Surprise trip… sort of

    Day 1, plan B: Our original plan (plan A) was to arrive at BLT on Sunday. This changed because airfare is wacky in the summer. DH has 100,000 miles that will expire in Sept if we don't use them. We were able to get 2 round trip tickets with miles. YAY!! The third ticket was $100 more if we...

    Pre-Trip Surprise trip… sort of

    That's awesome! Thank you! I may need to see if I can fit this into our plans. My only concern is that DS is 7, but he'll be celebrating his 8th birthday unofficially while we're there. Is this the tour that you need to be at least 8? I'm going to check out your TR - I've heard awesome things...

    Pre-Trip Surprise trip… sort of

    DS (7) wants to be surprised on our next WDW trip. We’re DVC and are very lucky to go to the world about every 10 months. So, he obviously knows we’ll be going soon, but doesn’t know the exact date. At first he wanted me to let him know 2 weeks out. (What kind of surprise is that??)...

    Pre-Trip Those banked points aren't going to use themselves Part I

    I don't think I've ever been so jealous!! ;) I always peruse the resale market - DH almost caved once. Almost. Let the high of your original purchase sink in. You seem to have plenty!! It wouldn't be too much of a crime to have too many points though :D

    Pre-Trip Those banked points aren't going to use themselves Part I

    Awesome score on the banked points! When we bought, a few of the points had been borrowed from the current year. We though, hey - no biggie, we'll bank a few and catch up. 3 years later and we're still borrowing because we have no self control!! Hope it's a great trip/trips! Looking...

    No Extra Magic Hours Starting 1/1/16? Update: EMH to Continue

    As a microscopic piece of this huge debate - just wanted to share that as a DVC owner, I avoid parks that have EMHs. If they go away, it will just make my planning a bit more difficult to narrow down. To me, EMHs make people go to a specific park. I doubt Disney would do away with something...

    Trip Club August 2015

    I should have checked here - I was making them at the same time - we could have had a mini FP party :D Same experience. I'm pooped today, but it's kind of fun to watch the MDE page go from 61 to 60 days. :happy:

    Meeting multiple characters...?

    Depends on where you are. Character Spot in Epcot one line for all of the characters. The number of characters has changed over the years. At least 3. Animation Courtyard (think that's the name) in HS has separate lines for each character or character pair. Pete's silly sideshow is divided...

    To go or not to go

    Go! I'm thinking you're on here to get some good reasons why you should go, and most of us Disney crazed people will back you up. Don't feel guilty about it... life is too short.

    Summer FP+ time selection

    I guess that's where my hesitation was... would there even be FP+s left over that we would want to use. I think I'll stick with my plan of blocking out time according to ADRs. And if we have an ADR outside of the parks, then I'm looking at it differently anyway. Thanks for your opinion!! It...

    Summer FP+ time selection

    I've been debating how to use FP+ for our upcoming trip in August. Today is day 61, so I'm no longer able to be indecisive and would love some feedback. Would you book FPs early and try to get more FPs through out the day? or Would you book FPs close to ADRs so that your day can be more...

    Fast Pass + reservation question

    Wow... I guess that could make sense if the system can't handle it. But, good grief that makes planning a little complicated. Thanks for the heads up!

    Fast Pass + reservation question

    So, if on our 60th day... if there are EMH in MK from 12-2 a.m. then we wouldn't be able to make FP+ selections until they are over? I haven't heard this! Is that what you mean?

    Fast Pass + reservation question

    Is your trip on June 17th or you are 60 days out on June 17th - so your trip is in August? You can make your FP+ at midnight online on day 60. Good luck and have fun selecting!!

    Pre-Trip The Trip That Almost Wasn't But Then Was

    Looks like an amazing trip is in your future!!!! Loved reading about last year's Dapper Day... Looking forward to seeing what this year brings. Enjoy staying at BW and being so close to the F&W festivities. Easy walk "home" is always a bonus!!

    Pre-Trip Our second Christmas vacation in Walt Disney World!

    Yay! So glad you're able to get back again this December. We went this past December about the same week and LOVED it! If you can find a 5:00 Sanaa - that worked perfectly for us. But Boma is amazing, too. It's really win win. :) Can't wait to see what else you plan.

    Dedicated (or just plain nuts ??)

    Dedicated!! I stay up and have a mini, solo, disney celebration when I make mine. The house is nice and quiet, I have some tea in a resort mug, and I get all giddy as I sit down to select FPs. Maybe we're all a little nuts, but who cares?! It's fun!! What did you get? :)

    Trip Club August 2015

    BLT 16-26!! With a brief one night stay at All Star Sports on 8/15 since airfare was cheaper that day... It's a real shame we have to be there an extra night ;) How are FP+ selections going?

    FastPass+ stressing me out...

    If you can walk on, you can ride it as many times as you like! ;) However, do not use the FP+ line - just ride standby. Either on your smartphone or at a kiosk, change the FP+ to something else that is available. It may not be a "top choice" but it will save you time somewhere.

    Where is Donald?

    Donald is also near Dumbo in the M&G tent area. He's dressed like a fortune teller. :)
