Disney post 10/24

If you haven't seen this yet, it is awesome: www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=835236

Somebody on that forum wrote a program that automatically checks fastpass+ availability for a lot of the more popular attractions for a family of 4 every 30 minutes. The page doesn't auto-update, so you do have to refresh it to see the updated availability.

I just got FP+ for the Festival of Fantasy parade on our first day of our trip because I saw it pop up when I refreshed the page this morning! (I know the use of a FP for a parade is debatable, but with DD, I think I'd rather have them, especially since we're going over a pretty high crowd time.)

I'm going to have to start figuring out this whole FP thing now that I've got dining straight.

Here comes another spreadsheet.

Check out the FP thread on the theme parks board on disboards. All the FP optiobs are ranked by priority. Very helpful!

My Mom just offered me 3k and airline miles towards a trip for her, DH, DS and me. DH and I would just need to kick in for costs of 3-4K and our own food.


UHM YES?

We booked! Going in Dec. We're staying at Beach Club, but one night we'll be at AKL since BC was sold out (h is attending a conference there). A lot of FP/reservations aren't available since we're about 6 weeks out, but I'm so excited!

We had some issues booking through a vacation club rental service. Three times we were told the room
was available and the member would book...and then it was no longer available. But we finally confirmed today! We got a one bedroom at Wilderness Lodge for $25 cheaper than the regular studio rooms would be. We are doing Epcot on Dec 1 and spending the night at Wilderness, then pool time in the morning, Downtown Disney in the early afternoon and the Very Merry Christmas Party after that! I am hoping my large pregnant self will not keel over by the time we leave at midnight that night! We are staying with H's parents who live in the area for eight nights, and we're doing this one night getaway partway through. It's our mini baby moon and I'm a little alarmed at how much money we will be spending in a 48-hour period.

I am looking at BLT for a two bedroom for next September. I imagine I will be pg then so I won't be able to do the big rides with DH & DS but I am really excited for pool time & MNSSHP!

I just got a FP+ for Anna & Elsa! Squee! It's at 8:20 pm (on 11/11), but this is literally the only one that I have seen available (since I didn't start booking FP+ until 30 days prior) so I'll take it! Actually, it should work out well, since that will be in between the parade and the fireworks. Yay!

Were you the one that wanted room pictures? I can't remember who asked. I took a bunch and I'm going to take some more before we go!

I love our room so much! I'm going to be sad to leave! We have had so much room in the 2 bedroom. Its awesome!
