Woohoo! We just got a pin in the mail - saved us $70 on top of what we already saved using AAA.
Thanks for posting the park hours!! It will give me something to do while waiting for the airfares to be posted.

Thanks!

We booked the free dining bounceback last year and will be at CR from 8/18 to 8/24. I'm getting excited now that I can book our ADRs next month and start some of my planning. This will also be our first stay at CR, previously we've stayed at POP, OKW, CSR, AKL, BCV, YC and POR.

I had no idea...thanks for the info!

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding Ohana and the bread pudding. I plan on getting an ADR for breakfast because my son loves Stitch. But, I want to try the bread pudding. Is it available at breakfast, or will I need to make a ressie for dinner?

[SenecaWolf]

Only available at dinner. We're going to do breakfast and dinner there also. We love the POG juice and the sausage but we're also carnivores and love the meat at dinner lol.

If you don't want to do both, Stitch is easily available in MK and Epcot. In MK he's in tomorrowland not far from the entrance to Space Mountain and he's never had more than a few people at a time there so we've had some great interaction with him. In Epcot he's right in the front right before you get to Spaceship Earth. Even there he's not that busy.

Thanks. I guess we will do both. I guess I will not do Cape May Cafe this trip.

Wait, Disney let you apply two discounts? I thought we could only choose 1. Now I'm confused... I have CAA too.

[DisneyGuy758]

I'm stressing like crazy right now.

My father offered to pay for our airfare instead of us driving...which would be close to 24hours...with three children.

We have an airline that will fly directly to Sanford for pretty cheap (Allegiant Air), but they only have flights the day before we are to check in (8/10). I'm about to call WDW to see if we can add a day to the beginning (hotel only) of our current reservation.

On top of all this...my father will be giving me a check for the airfare and not putting it on a CC (his wife[not my other] gets angry when he does things like this for me)...and I Don't have a CC or a debit card....so I'll have to do some finagling to get it all worked out. It's doable...but man...stress is really getting to me.

I either want a LARGE beer...or a large soda.

Mint green tea is great too.

Boy, sure looks like you've got a handful. I hope everything works out ok! An extra day in Disney sounds pretty good though

[DisneyGuy758]

Well it's kinda worked out right now.

I got a flight down on 8/10, and will have to book a room for then too...I can't just add to our existing Reservation because I used a PIN# discount....ugh.

$324 for the room alone at AoA (Cars Suite).

I have to wait to get a flgiht back until the airline puts them on their site.

We can generally expect a room-only special offer to come out when August deals are announced. So that should save you money for the additional night. But also consider staying at a different resort that first night, potentially one for cheaper? We love doing split stays!

I would consider that, but with my kids, not having to move around so much is much easier.

I'm hoping that I will be able to stay in the room we get on the 10th and not have pack up and move to the room down the hall...ya know?

I still need to rent a car...

Totally understood--it is easier to stay in one location. But if you change your mind or end up staying in a different room, live out of suitcases for the first night and keep your items in one general area. That way, everything will be easy to find and move the next morning!
