Are ANY of you concerned about Spring Break that week and Mardi Gras???
Why Im still overthinking this is beyond me but I'd love to hear your thoughts!!!


March
1: shannon006 - (POP, AoA, AKL? TBD)
1-6: WildGingerMama - CSR? (TBD)
1-8: sandym718 - Poly - celebrating a birthday
1-8: mamabear0222 - (Windsor Hills? TBD) - celebrating two birthdays
1-8: JacknDawn4ever - POR
2-8: drirun - BCV - celebrating a birthday (group of 17 going together!)

We went to Disney this same time period in 2012 and the crowds were manageable (at least for Disney). Easter is not until April 20th next year and most colleges/universities will have Spring Break around March 10th. So, we should miss the BIG crowds since most of our departure dates are near March 8th. I did notice on our day of departure last year that the crowds were larger than our day of arrival. Is Mardi Gras at Disney or Universal? If it was at Disney I must have missed it or did not notice it. We are planning a few days at IOA on our 2014 trip. Any tips from those who have been to IOA.

Mardi gras is at universal but apparently the neighboring states get time off so they head to Disney

Hi! DH and I are going for our 25th anniversary mid to late June 2014! (A 2 week visit) We have been planning this for 5 years! Looks like we will be staying at POFQ most likely. Thanks for all the handy info!

[GirlDreamer]

Me and my DFI is going in November next year for our Disneymoon the tentative date is november 10th for now, but we'll see what we end up with when they release the next UK offer in april All that matters is that we get to see the Christmassy stuff We're planning to go for 21 days and we'll more than likely stay at POFQ

Hey! I'd been wondering about you since I hadn't seen you post in a while.

Can't comment on PL - hopefully others can weigh in on that.

Dd and I did the mermaids makeovers last fall. We had a blast! We originally were going to be pirates but the only crt ressie I could get was later that day and she didn't want to meet Cinderella as a pirate so it was mermaids makeover with Ariel dress

What do they do for the mermaid makeover? My daughter really loves pirates (she's 3.5) wants to watch pirates of the Caribbean and everything (needless to say the re-release of Peter Pan has been a hit as well)

Our faces were painted in the blue/green colors, hair was twisted with a flower clip that changed color in the light, we received necklaces that changed in the sunlight and a blue mermaid sash - we also had to sign an oath that we wouldn't eat the pirates!

We've owned Peter Pan about a week and have probably watched at least 4-5 times already (thanks to Jake and the NEverland Pirates for a love of all things Pirates and Peter Pan here!)

Thank you. I'm excited to find others thinking about 2014 trips. It took me a year or so just to narrow down the month and resort.

This sounds great especially if she is feeling girly too. Can you decide when you get there? We've only watched Jake once - and I am not sure why she loves pirates but thankful!

Yeah I will live- I feel bad for DH he has a lot of extra stuff to do now. Here's to hoping I have full range of motion sometime this week!

Thanks It'll be our 2nd time at POFQ actually. We stayed there last september and we loved it. We actually got engaged on that trip

[Funfire240]

We decided once we got there. I wondered too because DD kept going back and forth between each one but we just told them once we arrived for our appointment what we wanted.
