in to the September 2022 Group @disneylover81!!!!!! We are so glad you found us!!! And this is a Great Group here - knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and just good Disney people. Congratulations on being new DVC owners!! 
That is fantastic. Last minute trips are so great and new resorts to experience. I know you will love MNSSHP. 
The parade, treats, and usually low ride times are just so much fun. Bay Lake Towers seems to be a resort so many enjoy. The views I would imagine are beautiful of the Magic Kingdom.
Copper Creek Villas at the Wilderness Lodge sounds awesome. The Wilderness Lodge is on my to-stay list. Such a beautiful resort. Congrats again on all your first time experiences for your upcoming trip. I will add you to the CountDown List on Page 1 of this thread. We will see you here for more planning and Disney Talk in the upcoming weeks as we all are so excited for our trips!!!
Thank you so much! We are ecstatic ! DVC is a dream come true for me! We LOVE Wilderness Lodge and have stayed there several times, but never on the Copper Creek side so I am sure we will love it just the same! I can't wait to catch up on all the posts on this thread to help with my planning!
I think I will have to call too. I have a DVC split stay and I'm looking to book StoryBook and Space 220. Next week is my ADR day. Now I'm not looking forward to it as much.
It was almost hard to believe especially when I got sent to Paris France and they were speaking French to me on the phone. Now it really does make me laugh (a little) that part anyway. I am sure you will not have any problems. They will connect you to a specialist for your split stay as they were supposed to do with me. I have found by calling back a couple of times since some cast members did not understand how to do this or connect me. I had to tell them after that first round I went through. They checked and then sent me to the right person. Everyone seems to be getting most of what they want. Let us know how it goes next week and sending positive thoughts for StoryBook and Space 220.
I think maybe we've had to share a car once and it wasn't too awkward since we were all facing the movie screen.
I don't think we are seeing the same bands! I have been checking everyday, and haven't seen Tinkerbelle at all.
I think Tinkerbelle is on the ShopDIsney site and then there's about 12 last I checked on the MDE site.
We had a 10.5-year break in Disney until Thanksgiving week 2018 which did not go even a little bit how we expected (the husband of the family we were traveling with decided to leave his wife the week before we left and it threw every single plan we made out the window). We came back to Disney in September 2019 as our re-do trip and had an amazing time. I can’t wait for the next 59 days to pass so I can make it back home! Until then, we still have our family vacay (kids included) down to the Caribbean in only 13 days. It’ll be the kids’ first flight and first time out of the USA.
We stayed at AoA on our 2018 trip. Overall, I liked it. We never had to wait long for a bus. The food court was pretty good, but I was tired of just one option there by the end of the week. I have to say, it was noisy in the room at night. The sound travels between rooms and bathrooms there, and hallway noise carried badly, especially if people weren't trying to be quiet. If that bothers anyone in your party, I recommend a sound machine and/or earplugs to help you sleep. Other than that, the rooms were great. Beds were comfy, we loved the theming, and having 2 bathrooms was really nice.
Sounds like a typical Disney value resort. We prefer the moderates and deluxes, but since we are taking our kids and grandkid and paying for the rooms we went a little cheaper and somewhere we haven't gone before.
I still don't get how they can classify AoA as a "value". I suppose it's because of the quality and the amenities, but it's absolutely not a price value for the suites. We paid more to stay there in 2018 than we will pay to stay next year at a moderate. I will miss the extra bathroom, but we will be fine with just one.
Welcome ! I am sure you will see Halloween Decor. since the parties start next month. It will still be super hot-take lots of A/C breaks. Have fun!!!Hello! Going down for a split stay 9/2-9/7 in a 1 bedroom at GFV and then switching over to a 2 bedroom at BC 9/7-9/12 with some friends!
First ever fall trip with my little man (3 years old), and can’t wait to hopefully see some Halloween decorations! Excited to read back in this chat for tips
Thank you! I’m thinking we will do park first thing in the mornings, pool during day and then back in the evening for a bit.
