**** OFFICIAL February 2018 Thread ****

[Bill McKinley]

Anyone else worried about TSM being available much during their upcoming late Feb/early Mar visit?
I heard that the 3rd track is already closed and then will reopen, but the two other tracks will close at some point before Toy Story Land opens this summer. Does anyone have a potential timeline for this?
We have a fastpass for it on our Hollywood day but I'm worried about long standby times and fastpass reloads being difficult. I should say it is my family's favorite ride, we rode it 7 times in 1 1/2 days at HS last year.
Thanks for any insight!

For registration for the Festival of the Arts seminars and workshops go to https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/e...onal-festival-of-the-arts-seminars-workshops/ where you'll find the phone number to call in -- only way to register.

I did call to ask about the animation figure class but the person who answered the phone told me to sign up when we arrive that day but that isn't what they say on their website. I was trying to find out what the animation figure modeling is and if it's worth the price.

 

[jayally]

Sorry for the double roll call post! I don't even think it posted the dates that I entered in. I am using my phone so things don't always go as planned.

We will be at the Art of Animation February 6th through the 12th. I'm trying to decide if the Memory Maker is worth it although I am the only one that cares about pictures. We are only going to be at the parks 4 days so that it's a lot of money. The last time I joined a photopass group so have a CD of our pictures but I don't know if they still do that. I don't know why it is so expensive now. My last trip was in 2010 so a lot of things have changed since then.

We decided to to the Memory Maker this trip. It is expensive but this is a celebration trip so we splurged. We have never bought it in the past however last year we saw that now with MDE you get to see all the pictures that you can purchase on your phone and with the magic bands even your ride photos often show up. There were a lot of pictures last year I would have liked to buy but the digital copy is around $15.00 a piece so I only bought one.

Plus I am usually the only one who is taking pictures so it's nice to get in them without it being an awkward selfie. I plan on grabbing every photo pass photographer I see to make the cost worth it lol.

I am trying to understand what the $169 is for. Do you get any free pictures included in that or are you just paying for the photographer? I thought I saw somewhere you can still buy pictures that are taken by the PhotoPass photographer without paying for a Memory Maker.

You can just buy the pictures you want, that is what I have done in the past but to get a digital copy is around $15.00 per picture. With memory maker you get a digital copy of every picture a photopass photographer takes they just scan your magic band, if you are wearing a magic band your ride photos will usually just show up on your account but you can also have them scan you band at the photo desk after the ride to add it. You will also get free digital copies of photos taken in the photo booths.

The website www wdwprepschool com has a whole article that explains in much more detail and list locations. I would link it but I don't think the will work.

Hope this helps

All photos taken will show up in your account and you have 30(?) days to download them.

2/18-2/24 - CBR - Family Trip with Friends! 4 adults, 5 kids - can't wait!

 

[momimouse27]

Staying February 24-March 1 and staying at All Star Music!

Sorry your trip got cancelled

 

[Mousemommy1]

Just booked a quick 4 night trip just for DH and I!!! We are staying 2/26/18 - 3/2/18 at AKL!!

We have literally not had a vacation alone since our honeymoon almost 16 years ago, though we do visit Disney annually with our kids. We have a family trip planned for August later this year, but this one is JUST FOR US!!!

 

[Rach73]

Wondering what the chances are for MK extending it's hours for our Feb 10-15 stay?

 

[Babywearingmama]

Feb 7-16 at POR. Late honeymoon celebration and taking the kids for the first time. Can't wait!!!

 

[momimouse27]

Anyone else worried about TSM being available much during their upcoming late Feb/early Mar visit?
I heard that the 3rd track is already closed and then will reopen, but the two other tracks will close at some point before Toy Story Land opens this summer. Does anyone have a potential timeline for this?
We have a fastpass for it on our Hollywood day but I'm worried about long standby times and fastpass reloads being difficult. I should say it is my family's favorite ride, we rode it 7 times in 1 1/2 days at HS last year.
Thanks for any insight!

I am going during that time and I just made my FP+ selections this past weekend. I had no trouble getting TSM for our party of 8 on the 28th. I was worried about the same thing. But, I actually cancelled those FP's and then obtained them again when I was working on our park plans. It might be more difficult the closer it gets to the date, though.

I’ll be there Feb 10-17 & have been wondering same thing. I keep checking. We enjoy late nights in the parks.

Received my DME info in the mail today!
31 days and counting.

 

[nancy155]

Just received notice from Touring Plans MK hours for second week of February have changed. Opening at 8am and staying open later. Two of the days until midnight. (Weekend). Just wanted to let others know. Guess I will quit trying to get a PPO breakfast at Crystal Palace, since the park will be opening anyway.
