Ugghh...I’m so tired of checking for the Frozen dessert party every day.

Ugghh...I’m so tired of checking for the Frozen dessert party every day.

I hear you! For me it's After Hours dates I'm waiting for.

For what it's worth, we did the Frozen dessert party last year and our dates weren't released till about 5 weeks out. It was so frustrating that they couldn't have released the dates before our FP day. Now I'm dealing with the same with the After Hours dates. I'm hoping they release before my FP day on June 10.

Hey August peoples, quick question. We are staying a beach club, and on Monday we are doing a resort day and Tuesday going to Epcot. Which day out of those 2 would you do bon voyage breakfast at trattoria al forno? My thought was to do it on the resort day so we dont walk all the way to the boardwalk then all the way back to epcot but maybe I am overthinking. Any thoughts? What would you guys do?

Rest day, why miss park time for the breakfast?

Hello! Just booked a quick trip for me and DS at Pop for 8/14-8/17. very excited!

Anybody up for a MM share?

 

[kylenne]

Checking in!! Just booked POFQ the other day for my first solo trip, 8/7 - 8/12. I plan to upgrade to my first AP as well!

Anxiously waiting approval on my time off from work. Probably should have waited for that to buy my Villains After Hours ticket but I was scared it would sell out for the last night. Still hoping for an AK AH date solely so I can ride FOP over and over.

Well...I’m waiting on that too. But for some reason, Frozen dessert is irritating me more.

Hey @Tomh, not sure if it matters that much or not but we are just staying at regular BC now, no longer BCV.

I'm not sure if it matters that much either, but I have updated it

We are staying at AOA August 9 through 12 after coming off 4 nights on the Dream. I really hope Skyliner is open by then, and I can score wanted FP+. DD is 7 and tall enough (and talking brave enough) for all rides.

Getting closer and closer to my FP window. I keep tweaking my dining plans. Constantly listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos and reading information. Planning really becomes an obsession.

Hi everyone! We just moved our trip from October to August for several reasons. We will be staying at Pop Century 8/18 to 8/24. Me, DH, DD (adult), DGD (15), DGD (13) and my mom. The best part is we have just over 3 months instead of 5 months.

You have been added to the Roll Call. I would say there is a fair chance of the Skyliner being open, at least before your trip is over. You don't necessarily have to get FP for everything, as long as you are willing to be at the park when it opens, you can often hit one, or more, of the more popular rides with very little waiting in the first hour.

Welcome to the August planning fun. You have been added to the Roll Call. August will be here before you know it!

We will be there! Aug 27-Sept 8th @ OKW! We are celebrating a birthday, & my eldests HS graduation as well as this will be our last family vacation before he leaves for boot camp. We are pretty excited since it's our 1st time back to WDW in 7 years, and our 1st time in 9 years staying more than 1 day lol (we only did 1 day at MK last time before getting on the Disney Cruise)

You have been added to the Roll Call. Sounds like you have quite a bit of celebrating to do! Congrats to your eldest on the imminent graduation, and please give him my thanks for his service!

Oh my gosh, every day I am online messing with something as well as listening to podcasts, reading reviews and watching youtube vids. Glad I am not alone lol!
This is the 1st WDW trip I have planned on my own (my mom always planned them all before she passed) and I am becoming slightly obsessed with making it "perfect" This is my 1 shot to convince my hubs the wdw will be great for him as well (he loves Disney service, just not the theme parks, so we usually end up using our DVC at places like Aulani or cruises, etc.) and I am crossing all of my fingers and toes that the restaurant's all come through and nothing crazy occurs while we are there!

I added a day, then had to change every single day I had planned. Just glad I did it before FP day
