Yes, I found that out. I'm going to try and keep the secret for as long as I possibly can because I know they will be soooooo excited.

Change of plans!

We've upgraded to Port Orleans French Quarter for our Oct. trip!

Soooo, we'll be staying Oct. 2nd thru 10th at POFQ with 9-day park hoppers, and bounceback free dining. Havent decided on MNSSHP yet, we did it last year, I've done it a bunch of times now... but we'll see!

So excited... no, how about we fast forward to Oct!

[Joolish1313]

This Oct trip makes our third stay at POFQ and our 2nd wedding anniversary. The charm of the resort totally won us over.

Hi I just joined the Dis boards!! I've been lurking for a whle trying to decide when to go to WDW. I booked today for October 22- 29, staying @ POR. My dd is 6 and ds 3- still trying to decide if MNSSHP is for us. We've never taken a family vacation, i'm hoping this will be the first of many trips to Disney!!
p.s. i love this dancing banana!!!!

[jobie61]

All set for 10/29 to 11/7.....Yahoo
MNSSHP - 10/31 Halloween night

Staying at the Swan for 179.00 a night, unless Disney comes up with a better offer on a Deluxe resort in the Epcot area.

I kinda doubt it !!!

We will be there too at that time!(and I love the dancing banana)

MNSSHP is awsome. Your DD6 will love it. ds3 might get a little tired...it's awfully late.

Hi to all-

Leaving October 3-9 with the family. I have a 5 and 7 year old and they can barely contain their excitement. We made them a countdown calendar, so they can keep track of how many days left. I have been to Disney 3 times in the past, but it has been almost 15 years ago. It will be my husband's first time also and he spends a lot of time reading and planning! This is our first trip, but I'm sure it won't be our last

[amberg@eastlink.ca]

were heading down september 30th til october 8th. asmovies. my 6th trip hubbys fouth and 1st for the kids ages 4(august) and two they are super excited. i cant wait to take them!!! this is an early tenth weddign anniversary trip. we were hoping to spend it there with free dining but that didnt happen.

[jhpatrick1]

We (me, DH, DD7, DS9, DS4) are going Oct 23-31st and staying at POR. Although I hope that FD comes out to disney visa again and we can stay at AsMu suites. Couldn't use 4/3 PIN on music. I haven't stayed at either, but think I would like music better. Worried about POR buses I guess. Anyway, we had Oct 3 - 10th reserved and then switched it to 23-31. Hoping I didn't regret my decision. We are hoping for cooler weather and lower crowds since it won't be free dining. Anyone go Halloween week before?

Not sure yet on MNSSHP. We went 2 years ago and LOVED it. It is just sooo expensive for all 5 of us to go. Still trying to decide. We really "weren't going to Disney" again this year

[kimberleeJohnston]

140 days!!! I feel like Im counting down one of my pregnacies! LOL
I cant wait until 100 days!!

[Jinxy]

I'm 7 kinds of excited, I just got our MNSSHP tickets today!
We'll be there on the 22nd for the party, and then staying til the 27th.
On top of that we booked POFQ and it's our first stay at a moderate. So

I've been lurking for about 7 years actually,...lol and finally decided that with two trips this year, I pretty much had to start posting.

[Ltl Mermaid]

I will be arriving on 10/17 and leaving on 10/24 and staying at the BWI for the FIRST time. I the BC when I stayed there a few years back so i am sure I will adore BWI as well.

We will be going to MNSSHP on the 20th and I for one will be dressing up...though the rest of the family will probably not!

I've never been in october and am SO excited to be able to FINALLY experience WDW in the fall!
