bit of a rant, sorry for the negativity but in almost two weeks from today for my first time and I'm really bummed with all the refurbs and scrims going on everywhere around Disneyland and DCA.
But anyway, trying to keep a positive mind before going but I'm kinda beat down right now I gotta say
I'm going the first few days of November, so not far behind you. I totally get the disappointment and your feelings are valid! I am bummed about the railroad likely being down, and missing Tiana's by a few weeks.
But I keep telling myself about all the great things I have to look forward to! There are actually a handful of "never done that" activities I'm finally going to tackle -- Storybook Canal (how is it possible I haven't been on this?!), Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway (never did it since it opened), and Astro Orbitor at night. Hopefully there are some things like that you can focus on. Or maybe some exciting dining experiences or new foods to try? It's going to be a great time either way, trust me! We just have to go in with a positive mindset and a willingness to have a blast!
I love Storybook Land Canal Boats!!! If you get on them just before 9:30pm, like 9:25pm, when the fireworks start they will stop all of the boats and you can watch from your boat! I found it interesting. There were some going off over the castle and taller ones going off over toon town. Definitely a unique way to view them!I'm going the first few days of November, so not far behind you. I totally get the disappointment and your feelings are valid!

The walls drive me crazy. I totally get it. I’m missing Tiana’s by 2 weeksbit of a rant, sorry for the negativity but in almost two weeks from today for my first time and I'm really bummed with all the refurbs and scrims going on everywhere around Disneyland and DCA.

Ohhhhh! Fun! What are your options?2 weeks until we check in to our hotel! We arrive late on 10/11 and are in the parks 10/12-10/14 with tickets for OBB on Sunday 10/13. I keep changing my mind on what costume I'm going to wear.
Either Sorcerer Mickey or Winnie the Pooh. My friend has the ears for the Winnie the Pooh costume, so I can't try it all on together yet.
I say that if it doesn't hurt your budget and wouldn't cause any financial hardship, definitely go for GCH. The Westin looks amazing though, so that wouldn't be a huge downgrade...but the proximity and theming for GCH wins me over each time. For a short trip, I would want to maximize my time too (and I like to pop back in the room for a break at least once a day so less walking is always a plus).
I’d switch to the GCH. Like above, for a short trip you want to stay right in the action!
thank you! They have a special rate for Disney Visa card holders, so I think that's where the inventory came from....so I just grabbed the room at GCH! I agree with the mid-day break- we are DVC and own at Bay Lake tower for this exact reason
Very excited!I switched!! Thank you! I agree that it will maximize our time on the short trip.I’d switch to the GCH. Like above, for a short trip you want to stay right in the action!
The walls drive me crazy. I totally get it. I’m missing Tiana’s by 2 weeks
But I’m going back in April so at least I have that…
That’s your answer! Book another trip
Counting down the days and since it’s officially October…it’s time to start packing right??? 
Glad your family is all ok! Also so glad your trip can still happen! Baublebar earrings will still make their premiere!!!Finally have cell service again so checking in! It’s officially October!!! I live in east TN right over the NC state line and we got hit HARD by the hurricane. We didn’t have power and water until Monday and cell service came back this morning, finally. School has been canceled until our fall break so no school for at least 3 weeks. Been working at the school I teach at organizing and handing out supplies. My birthday is Sunday so hoping to be able to get out to go have dinner and get some last minute trip supplies!
Trip is still on though! We fly out of Charlotte and the road to Boone, NC is completely gone so change of plans and going to have to drive down the day before and spend the night since our 2 hr drive is now closer to a 5 hr drive.
Thank you!! I’m super excited. My friend found me the cutest Loungefly at Marshall’s the other day so I need to figure out where it’s going to go in the outfit rotation too. And all the earrings!Glad your family is all ok! Also so glad your trip can still happen! Baublebar earrings will still make their premiere!!!
My friend just got me these earrings so I had to order this shirt from Etsy!
