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?

i thought so too but the menu on mde shows just apps and drinks. apps sound awesome though.

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

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.

I can relate with the adrenaline rush! It was 3am here for me and couldn't fall back asleep for a good while. I also was able to get ours for 2/2!

Oh me too. I wad probably up for another two hours after I was able to make the reservation. The weird part for me was I had been setting an alarm for 3am every morning to check and this morning I woke up just before 2am with this nagging feeling I should check for reservations. As I was making it I got my touring plans notification. I am so thankful I listened to my intuition.

I’m glad so many of y’all were able to snag the reservations for Space lounge. I didn’t even try because we have our Topolino’s breakfast the morning of our EPCOT day and a beaches and cream supper if we decide to keep that. I’ve never done two ADRs on one day so not sure we will keep Beaches and Cream (as much as I love it).

I was literally jumping up and down, lol. I also immediately texted my boyfriend who was 100% asleep, lol. Sharing my excitement with my 2 cats just wasn't enough

Hello all! I’ve been lurking a little and hanging out on the Jan thread. Our trip is Jan 27-Feb 5. Thanks for all the info I’ve been silently absorbing lol.

We recently upgraded the last two nights of our stay to the Poly and realized that we get to participate in the Feb 4 extended hours at MK. I got really stoked and started searching the threads for extended hour info. Then I came across a thread that’s says a national competition is in town that weekend and they all get complimentary access to the MK extended hours. For some reason I’m picturing HOARDS of teenage girls packing the park after hours though I know it prob won’t be that bad lol.

Anyone else hear about a completion that weekend? My googling came up with nothing.

Happy 2022 everyone!

This is the competition we are going to…and even though this is our first year, we have heard it is super crowded with teen girls
I was under the impression that our party @MK extended party was on Sunday night, the 6th

Ok thanks - that’s actually too late - we have a dinner then. Thanks though!! I’ll just keep stalking Ogas haha

FWIW, we’ve been there several times while that competition was going on. While there can be noticeably more teen girls in the parks during certain times, I find their energy to be infectious rather than bothersome. We have found most of them to be polite and fun to be around. I would discourage chanting/clapping in the lines (didn‘t see a lot of that but when it happens it it can be distracting), but otherwise the girls add to the fun atmosphere at the parks. Have a great time!!

This was exactly what I needed to hear, thank you!

Guys I have 23 days until my trip and I'm really fighting the temptation to start my serious packing lol. I have some stuff just thrown in my suitcase waiting to be organized but I keep wanting to get my clothes together and put it all in. Stop me!!! I have the 2 days off before my trip and really want to wait until then. Especially since I want to wait to see the weather report. It's getting real though everyone. Our trips are almost here.

I am not able to help you with this. We leave in 2 weeks, and I have everything stacked and ready to go. I tell myself that as long as I don’t actually put them in the suitcase, I’m not obsessed.

Do it, but make sure you keep track of what you have in case you want to make edits for the weather. I never regret packing early. I also try to include items for a range of weather, even if I’m 100% sure of the forecast. It’s always good to have a set of sweats for lounging in an overly ACed room or having a rain jacket just in case.

LOL me too! I have a few essentials I know I won't need before the trip thrown in my suitcase and am working on the rest of my packing list. I need to wash the new shirts I bought hubby and I to hopefully soften them up some and I'll probably do that this week but as far as clothes I will most likely be packing mainly leggings (capri and long) and I wear them all thew time so I have to wait to pack those. Like MsVanderquack said, I'll just keep a running list of things packed so it's easy to check and see if I need to make changes closer to time. Hubby's will be easy to pack because he is a shorts kinda guy all year long. I'm sure he will throw in a pair or two of Jeans just in case but it would have to be super cold for him to pull those out. He is the type of guy that stands outside grilling in the rare Alabama snow while wearing shorts.

Just wanted to put this out there once more before I drop it -

I have a Space 220 Lounge reservation for 2 people - 2/2 at 3:10pm that I do not need.

Enabler lol. Honestly I know if I give in and do it now I will regret it come the day before when I normally do it and I won't have it to do.

The good news is that our SWA fare down to Orlando on 2/6 dropped to $84. The bad news is that my husband now has so many travel funds left that some of them will expire if we don't book another trip. But do I really want to book another trip to Disney just so I don't lose the $10 travel fund? This is what Disney math does to you.

I was 4 days from leaving for our Disney trip and BAM! my son has covid. So with some spectacular assistance from a reservation specialist, they helped us rebook to President's Day weekend. Still managed to get us into CBR, and then our last night we move to Art of Animation. I can't say enough about Cast Member Rufina. For 90 minutes she checked for rooms, found us a split stay, transferred our tickets, and money and was just the most pleasant person ever. I was almost in tears yesterday when his test came back positive. But now I get to spend my birthday at Disney in February!
