I love the planning too It's what gets me through the winter We have all of our ADR's set. Got everything we wanted (with a triple resort stay, it was a bit crazy getting ADR's). I'm trying to get Pirate and Pals Fireworks cruise booked (I know it doesn't always get a lot of great reviews, but teen DD's want to try it and we are staying for the first time at the Contemporary, so it's convenient). We are also waiting to hear about Frozen ride and opening of Soarin'! Soarin' is my favourite - can't wait to see the new version. Happy planning

Frozen is showing as coming soon on the Disney site

Hi all! We check into Caribbean Beach on August 9th! I can't wait! ADR's are all booked, now just waiting until I can book our FastPasses! We're celebrating our 6 year anniversary on August 11th (and hopefully our last vacation as just the two of us). Only 158 days to go...

I have started collecting Disney Holiday pins for my wall calender. I am hating paying the ebay prices.

We are almost to 150 day mark. My dh is putting in for his time off tomorrow.

Staying at Poly August 16th-22nd. It will be my DS5 and DD4's first trips. I'm excited to have caught a great deal so we can stay at a deluxe resort for the first time! It's been about 7 years since my last trip, this will be my first with children - I'm a little scared.

163 days and counting!

Good luck and you'll be fine.

Getting read to book for The Poly! August 23-30 Probably won't tell the kids until we go....or at least I'll try. Not really excited about the heat but we have no choice. Haven't been in August since I was 14 myself, hoping for lighter crowds than what we are used to. We usually go with the kids during Spring Break. Thought the Poly was a good choice, seeing as though we are going to take mid day breaks from the heat and having the monorail access will really come in handy! Excited to start planning dining

Can I Join in?! We check in 8/2 and depart 8/12. We are booked at POR for now but I'm checking for something else every day lol. Hoping for CBR or WL, but nothing with my discount so far. All of our ADRs are done, but I'm hoping to rearrange a few.

We're in for a split stay (universal/WDW) from Aug 14th - Aug 24th. Celebrating our 20th anniversary and 3 graduations (elementary, middle school & college): me, DH, DS, DS and our niece (respectively). We're staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani Villas for the second half. Can't wait!!!

Congrats all around

Hi! I'm new here -- just found out yesterday that I'm probably going to WDW August 10-14 with my sister. This will be the first time I've gone without my husband or daughters. My sister will be there for a convention at Coronado Springs and she invited me to join her. I'll have two solo park days then a day in the parks with her, then we'll head back home. I've never done solo days before! I'm excited -- it's a combined gift for our birthdays this year.

We'll be staying at Coronado Springs and I've made ADRs at Raglan Road for arrival night since we'll be at Disney Springs that afternoon, and BoG for our Magic Kingdom day.

You would qualify for a discount on the 24th and 25th. But that's it. When do you check out?

 

[aloha517]

Not until 8/31..

That's a drag. You could make two separate room only reservations and link your rooms. We did that once.
