We don't leave until Aug 27th so most likely I'll be the only one on this thread.... talking to myself!

MK seems a wee bit crowded but we were still able to grab Winnie the Pooh and Pirates fastpasses after 4pm. Had lots of options too!

Also, it's so good to be home!

We’ll still be reading along, all depressed with Disney hangovers, or maybe that will just be me.

So yesterday at MK. Weird. It was just so crowded people wise. The standby times weren’t unreasonable but additional FP were really hard to get. Lots and f fiddling around in MDE but success eventually. We did get HM Buzz small world under the sea Poc. Could not get space splash big thunder or jungle cruise and I tried starting at 1230. I have had success in the past in August getting these.

The bathrooms were crowded all day (and not clean) and the food places were super busy. Just not what I’m used to I guess.

Today at Epcot has been a much more pleasant day.

Hope you and your family have a magical vacation! Oh, and watch out for those scooters!

Thank you!

WE LEAVE TOMORROW!!!

Us too, see you there!

Thank you! And, you are most welcome for the thread, and the information and advice. I had a great time planning with everyone. I don't access the DIS boards when I am on vacation, but I will post in the facebook group, and post here when I get home.

We don't leave until August 24th and it feels like a really long time yet.

 

[TI double-GUH ER]

2 weeks from today I'll be either getting ready to watch Fantasmic or already back at the hotel after a day at HS. (Not sure how tired we'll be since we are going to to be doing the EMM for Toy Story land that morning).
I can't wait!!!

That is so wonderful! Im glad you are having a great time, but its all downhill from here. Nothing could top that! ❤❤ Sending him a big salute

Not really topping it but DS was the rebel spy on Star Tours so that made his day today!

 

[ariane37]

Got our Aug upgraded MB's today I like mine (villains one) DH isn't thrilled with his HM one so he'll bring his SE one also. He has those 2 and I have 3 now and I can't seem to stop ordering one with each trip! The one I ordered for my Oct work trip already shipped so I'm contemplating which to order for our Dec trip now.........

So to sum up today, we got up at 4am, hopped on our flight at 6:30 and arrived in Orlando just after 1pm. When we got to Pop Century, I checked the bag tracker through the Delta app and while it said my wifes bag had been taken off the airplane, it only showed that mine had been placed onto it! Fortunately though, when we got back to the room at the end of the night, they were both there. Caused a bit of concern though! We went to MK, arrived around 5:15, went on Winnie the Pooh and Pirates. I think they lowered the force of the water cannons on Pirates, because none of the boats were wet and we didnt even get close to being sprayed. At 7:10 we went to LTT for supper. It's still all you care to enjoy, but they bring you out full variety plates instead of the shareable dishes! We actually liked this, as there was less waste. After that, we went on 7dmt and finished off with the TTA. We saw Space Mountain with the lights on and HEA was going on while we were going around the track, which was a neat new way to see it. We were both getting tired by then and decided to beat the fireworks traffic out, so we didnt stick around for the end of them, although you get a decent view while waiting for the bus! We finished the day off with a pineapple dole whip at Everything Pop. We're off to Epcot tomorrow! Night all!

Sounds like your vacation is off to a great start. Have fun at EPCOT!

It is nearly 3:00 in the morning, and we are up, and getting ready to go. Plane leaves at 6:30, see you all in the parks

I'm trying to finish classroom setup by this Friday even though I don't leave until the 15th. I want as much done as possible, including printing our first day packets, before I go.

Oh, I need to finish this week since the state auditor will be using my classroom to work next week. My room has a/c and is next door to the business manager's office so I'm always booted out that week.

The only things I can't really do before we leave are things with student names on them as my list will not be finalized in time. My class list is always adjusted up until the first day of school! So hard to get that stuff done.

Have a great flight and arrival to the Magic!
