So time for some short other news

As you probably know the new ride in DLP Ratatoille will be open on the 14th of July, the France national holiday. Since we are shareholders of DLP we will have the opportunity to ride the new attraction before it opens. The day is not known for now, but it is a possability that we will go to DLP before going to WDW, what original wasn't the plan

So far so good and 147 nights of sleep left

Sounds like a wonderful trip in the making. Those attractions you showed us looked really nice and look like something I would like to try sometime. Will be following your pre trip and trip report.

Will be great to hear about your experiences as a first timer to WDW. I know you watch others reports closely so hopefully you are getting lots of ideas and very soon it will be your turn. We go after you in November so I am excited for your trip as mine will then be just around the corner!
Have a great time and looking forward to the updates and eventually the trip report.

Still counting down and we are near the 100 day mark. Still a long long time to wait. So yesterday we booked ourself a short trip to DLP

We need to see the new Ratatouille ride! Because we are shareholder and annual pass holder we could have ride Ratatouille in the upcomming weekend, but we couldn't find the time to travel to DLP for this weekend.

So from July 24th until 27th we are in DLP and I will post a short TR afterwards!! Off course with as much Ratatouille pictures as possible.

UPDATE: see our TR for pictures of the new marvelous Ratatouille ride!!

LisaBelle · Jun 26, 2014

Can't wait to read about the new Ratatouille ride. It looks like lots of fun. I will be watching for the TR. I would love to visit DLP! For now I will enjoy your TR and pretend I'm there!

We also have the same ! Writing a TR is bringing back the great feelings! Most of the time Ria and Sacha do the pictures and movies...... And afterwards I will do the TR! So next October and probably November will be TR TIME..... Thinking about that is not good lol..... Means we are back by then

True, but then you will also be planning your next Disney trip, right?

As soon as I get home I start scheming for the next Disney trip (sometimes the scheming starts on drive home)! We were thinking that it may be a couple of years, but now we are looking at 2015 and a possible trip to DL! I was there when I was a senior in high school, and then only for 1 day, so I don't remember much about it except Space Mountain and Captain EO - which we took my kids to see last summer in EPCOT. They just kept asking me, "who is this guy again?" "What?! Didn't you hear me tell you he was Michael Jackson, as in "THE" Michael Jackson!" I kept trying to explain how he was such a huge deal when I was in school, and they just kept giving those blank stares they give me now and the end result was that I just felt really old. Ah well. Chalk it all up to the generation(s) gap.

As for you, I am enjoying your TR, as it is easy to see that you are way, way, WAYYYYY excited to be going! How can we all not be excited for you as well! :happy:

Your excitement is simply contagious! My friend went in October 1 year, and she said that the weather was absolutely beautiful. I wish that for you too!

FlaggNL · Aug 8, 2014

It's been a while since I post here!! We had off course the summer holidays and well we had a 4 day trip to DLP! There is a TR in the making, I already started, but pictures have to wait until the weekend or right after. Meanwhile still counting down and passed the 10 weeks mark! So 69 days to go! It's comming closer and closer!

Sorry for that!

Enjoying your enthusiasm? Not too long for you to wait now.

(I agree you don't need restaurant ADRs for your first visit - you will want to spend as much time as possible seeing everything. On our first visit to Epcot, we spent 12 hours there and stopped for only 2 cokes!)

Thanks for taking time to read our PTR

We are enjoying the pre feelings at the most! Tinme is flying by now. Just 66 days to go

I guess we spend as much time as possible to ride as much rides as possible and see as much shows as we can. So eating is not one of our priorities. Although the Dole Whip and (if it is aviable) the Dart Vader cupcake

You're coming up to your 60 day mark for fastpas plus! I'm finding it so hard to decide where to book my fastpass plus rides for the later part of our trip, I wanted to keep our options open in the few days around our half marathon plus I don't think it's possible to plan (and stick to) which park to be in for a full 18days!

Yeah we are closing in on the 60 day mark. But we are not staying in a Disney Hotel. We rent a villa nearby so we have to wait until the 30 day mark and by then see what's left for Fastpass+. We are with 2 families and my family already have the tickets, the other family buys them in USA. So we can try to get fastpass+ and they can't. As for now we are thinking to use fastpass+ for good places during the 2 parades and wishes. If they are left to book

Oh ye silly me I forgot you have to be on property for the 60day mark. Oh that's a pain about not having advanced tickets, I am a little OCD about stuff like that so it would stress me out if I couldn't book for everyone together! Ye I'm hoping to try get some for the parades and fireworks this time.
Only 12days left to figure out what fastpasses I want!

Yeah when staying on the property have more than off-site guests. And I guess that is good

Well the other family is not going to be in WDW as we are doing

Hope you will manage to get the fastpass+ as you wish

We have to wait another 34 days to find out what fastpasses we want
