***** February 2022 Thread *****

[The13thLetter]

Slowly, taking baby steps towards this twice-cancelled trip. Supposed to leave 3 weeks from tomorrow and finally allowed myself to book Mears for trip from MCO - Pop.

Going to try Sunshine Flyer for the return trip in early February and compare the two. Sunshine Flyer is a new company that begins bus service to/from MCO and Disney parks on Feb 1, 2022. Love their concept!

thats a good idea. Might do the same now to try out both.

So I just went to the site for the Sunshine flyer and it’s $17 one way....allows you to actually select pick up times ...I went through booking process but didn’t actually book yet. I was able to select a 4:00 pm pick up time with arrival time of 5:00pm at MCO... it says “no stops” but if there are no stops and pick up is at 4:00 pm shouldn’t drop off at MCO be around 4:30 pm?

I've read either here on in a facebook group I'm in that you will receive another email closer to your trip date with a more accurate time. Someone said they send the initial email with with some cushion because the buses stop at multiple resorts and closer to the actual date they will have a more accurate idea of how many resort pickups each bus will be stopping at. I have no clue if this is true, just something I read. You guys will have to report back on if this is true or not if you get another updated time.

I just received my second e-mail yesterday 26 days out. The time was pushed forward 10 minutes.

I think I am finally done with making changes to our ADRs so all that is left is to pack in about 30ish days or so. Time seems to be going so fast and so slow at the same time now.

I hear you on that. I don't want this time to go too fast. I want to keep enjoying the anticipation.

Just a heads up that the wording on their website is confusing! I emailed back and forth with them about it, hoping they'll consider changing it but, that will be up to them.

When booking return to the airport, you enter your airline, flight number and flight time. When selecting pickup time the dropdown information says to choose the hour that your flight is in and they will determine your pickup time based on that and your flight time.

In my case my flight departs MCO at 6:35PM so I chose 6:00 - 7:00 when booking.

I will say they were VERY fast at responding to my emails today!! Both emails received responses within 10 minutes!

Looking at the menus for FARTS and can't wait to try some of the food. I would love to get the Figment popcorn bucket but it will probably be sold out until I get there.

What does this mean? It means that we are unable to link our rooms to access early Genie+ reservations, etc.
We will need to wait until park opening to book our LL, which will give others staying on property a better chance in booking.

Offsite people can book G+ at 7am. It is only for ILL$$$ that offsite people have to wait.

Hey everyone! Heading down the week of Presidents’ Day this Feb for a very special birthday for my husband. I hope everyone has a fantastic time!

I wanted to put it out to the Disboards universe that we’re looking for an Epcot fireworks cruise but weren’t able to get a booking. If anyone plans to give up a reservation that week, please let me know so that I can coordinate picking it up when it’s released back into the wild. Thanks!

Feb 19th-26 at the CBR me and my partner will be heading south from Brooklyn.

We'll have 3 other couples joining over the stay some at the beginning, some at the end, and one couple mostly in the middle! Got all the reservations we wanted (may be releasing an extra 8 person Oga's into the wild in the coming weeks) so pretty excited!

what day and time is your ogas? I’m looking for one for 7 people that week. I have one but it’s at 10am and I’d prefer later. Ty

Silver lining on crowds for you...
We are getting the final details on our UDA National's trip for DD's Varsity Pom Team. We (team and parents) are staying at Caribbean Beach, which is what I was hoping for, but do not get a Disney room reservation number. What does this mean? It means that we are unable to link our rooms to access early Genie+ reservations, etc.
We will need to wait until park opening to book our LL, which will give others staying on property a better chance in booking.

I am pretty bummed and have been stalking the Genie Tip Board to see how quickly reservations go and it will be a guessing game as to what rides will be sold out or booked before our window opens. Let's just say that its a good thing I could really care less about SDD

Oh well, we are there for DD and will have fun regardless. I am getting super excited.

check out the all ears channel on youtube. Molly has so many Genie+ videos that i really think help a ton with planning. and she doesnt get in early too.

If anyone has been waiting for Space 220 lounge reservations to open up I happened to be awake and saw that they were available for February. I was able to make mine just now(plus I got the touring plan alert just after making it). I've never been so happy to be awake for no reason at 2am.

Was just coming to post this! Tons of February space 220 lounge openings! So happy, had reservations to eat there but really wasn’t planning to keep them for the prefix meal.

Same here. We were debating keeping our restaurant one as well since we were hesitant about the prefix. Thus really made my morning although the adrenaline surge is making it so I can't go back to sleep lol.

Nice! Is there no kids menu for the lounge? I didnt see one but ive been known to miss things right in front of me

Just tried Fri, Feb 4 but no success so these may be filling quickly.

I had a Touring Plans alert set and read the email around 6:30am. I was able to get a reservation for our departure day, Feb 10th, since it is an Epcot park reservation that day, but lost my San Angel lunch in order to book the Space 220 lounge. Oh well, DH doesn't really like San Angel as much as I do.

I could be wrong but I think you have the option of ordering everything from the regular menu just with individual pricing? At least that’s what I’m hoping but maybe it’s just the apps and drinks?

 

[Bama Mom]

I was coming to post about the Space Lounge opening the reservations too. I wasn’t interested in grabbing one but know some of you were. Out of curiosity I did check out EPCOT day and they seem to all be gone for February 3rd.

 

[DisneyBelle27]

Ahhhhhh!!! I happened to have JUST gotten up to feed my 2 cats breakfast when the 1st alerts came through for the Space 220 Lounge spots! I got *********** at 5:05am and ************ at 5:06am. Touringplans didn't come through until 5:44am.

I actually ended up with 2 reservations! Both on 2/2, one at 3:10pm and one at 4:10pm. It was the adrenaline rush and being half asleep, lol. I'm going to be out all day, but if anyone wants the 3:10pm reservation I would be willing to coordinate a drop later tonight or tomorrow. Feel free to PM me.
