End of October	CodeGoddess

 

[CodeGoddess]

We're planning end of October pending OBB tickets.

 

[ColoradoLime]

We're planning end of October pending OBB tickets.

From what I remember last year the process of getting tickets was a pain but that was only due to the system, the actual availability wasn't that bad as long as you bought early. I'm serioiusly planning on taking a day off when they go on sale just because I could use a day off and it's a good excuse. lol

Yes whatever day they do go on sale I will be at my computer the whole day. I'm a software engineer so luckily I'm usually at my computer.

 

[roflclaw]

Heyooooo Halloweentime!

We'll be there 9/26-9/30 staying at the DLH in a 1br family suite. (fingers crossed for the day summer discounts come out )

What started out as a trip for 2 snowballed into a trip for 3 with my mom tagging along. So now I'm having to look into things we've never dealt with since we drive -- flights, airport transportation, mobility scooter, etc (ps why are flights so expensive?! it's only an hour and a half! )

Do y'all have any ADRs you neeeeed to get? Surprisingly I think we're going to wing it for most of our meals with only Cafe Orleans being an absolutely necessary grab. I'm not so patiently waiting for spooky foods to come out even though I know it's ages away lmao But I need to know the churro flavors!

Yay - Our first Sept person! lol

Flights are ridiculous. Where are you flying out of? I'm in Denver and it's crazy to fly anywhere from here. I did stalk Southwest flights and got a decent deal, but normal rates are just stupid for a short trip to a popular place.

I'm undecided on ADRs. Not a lot appeals to me. We might do Blue Bayou strictly for the experience but the food doesn't excite me so we'll just be going for dessert.

I'm with you on the churros! I want them all!!

October 12-18th The Anaheim hotel! We are going to be ducky, bunny, woody and Forky from toy story 4

Flights are dumb expensive. If you are a Sam's member you can buy a $500 gift card to southwest for $450. I was able to save $150 on our flights this way.

Our must do ADR's will be the princess breakfast, which we plan to do the morning we have OBB tickets. And Lamplight Lounge. We also hope to snag a story tellers, WOC dessert, and hoping for Fantasmic dinning packages to come back. Yes we love ADRs!!

 

[Version 6]

Sept 23-30 checking in!

I totally want to see those costumes!!

 

[katyringo]

I totally want to see those costumes!!

Wellll! Since this is an October 2020 reschedule.. the costumes still work for my kids so we are re using them! I need to get a woody shirt and hat tho. I'm lucky I'm getting my husband to wear the t shirt lol.

 

[smmora]

10/30 - 11/1. GCV

 

[TinkerTay]

It seems weird even planning another trip when our next trip is in 10 days, haha… but we will be there in a VGC 1 bedroom from Sept 11-Sept 17. We’re making this trip to specifically coordinate time to see Dave Avanzino during his Disneyana showcase dates, and get another custom name piece done! We’re pretty excited about this since we always seem to miss his visits by a week or 2…

For my own curiosity/sanity check, GCV = Grand Californian Villa?

Not weird at all!! I would go to DL so many times a year if I could!

 

[Cal-Pie]

Well...... I was waiting for an OBB announcement before I finalized my dates, but since that is too much to ask of Disney *sigh*, I guess I'm sticking to Oct 22-25. Hoping for a party on the 23rd, fingers crossed. This will be a girl's trip for DD13 and me, staying at BWPPI.

It is annoying that they’re not able to announce dates yet. Especially given the fact that you still have to make park reservations.

 

[disneydreamer74]

Count us in!! It will be myself and DD15. our dates are Sept. 8-11th, Embassy Suites South. We will fly since we caught a flash deal and flying was cheaper than the gas to drive from Az!! Costumes will be Marie (Aristocats) for me and Mirabel for my daughter. Hoping to go to Oogie Boogie Bash! But we will attend one day at D23 expo as well!! We have not been to our home park in 3 years so we are thrilled!!
