Joshua's 9th birthday is in 10 days, so tonight a trip to the pet store brought Nemo and Dori home to be our new pets.
FYI, taking a picture of swimming fish is like herding cats. - MagicalFamily

It surprised me this morning when the CM was checking my information and could not believe we were truthful and honest about Aaron turning 3 the day before we leave. She said most people would pass them off as 2 to still get in free. What message would that give Joshua, that it is ok to lie if you benefit from it. I would rather pay the extra $, be honest, and set the right example for my 9yr old.
You are much better then me. I would of lied. - Ariel42

When my son turned 3 and we went to DL I was hoonest and bought him a ticket. However, when he turned 6 he was 5 for another year. Just so I didn't have to pay bus fare for one trip. - Lelundrial

Back when we booked our vacation for December there were no specials or discounts the week we were going. Faithfully I check the Disney web site to see if anything has changed. Last night I noticed if you booked by September 29th you could get a % off your room. I ran my dates and resort and called Disney bright and early this morning. 10 minutes out of my morning and calling just to check just saved me $358.58. It pays to stay on top of everything and to take the time to call if you have a question, look what it saved me. :)
Yay!!! Extra spending money!!!! - dxcmama

So they will honor it even if you pre-booked? I will have to keep that in mind for next year. - Lelundrial
341.7 #429 10:42AM
You got a good deal for the percentage off, but they were offering the free dining from Dec 10 to Dec 20. I thought I could have saved you a little bit more $. - tdarden

Had to share my Winnie the Pooh from when I was a baby. He is 40 yrs old, and I recently found him in storage. My Aaron has claimed him as his own, which warms my heart.
You took good care of him. - 5disneylovers
345.1 #11 5:27PM
Wow , he looks great !!! - skcanfield

What a cute pooh! I would absolutely love it if my future little ones played with my my old Disney toys! How sweet=) it's in great condition too - mickeynme
102.3 #46 6:43PM
Thanks everyone. He weighs a ton! He either has sawdust or beans in his butt. I have another which has a music box in him but as of now he is Mia. - MagicalFamily

For 2 years I have tried to find Aaron a Mickey Mouse costume for Halloween. Either too small, out of stock, or way too expensive. Today I won an ebay auction for about $5 more than I wanted to spend, but free shipping and no tax. Aaron will be so excited when it comes.
Awesome!!!!*+.*+.*+. - CinderellaPrincess85

It is the Disney store one so it is plush and I only paid 39.99. Same price online at the Disney store but no tax and no shipping, plus online doesn't have the bigger toddler sizes, only infant. - MagicalFamily

They came, they came! We got our Very Merry Christmas Party tickets in the mail today. I expected paper cards like in the past but these are plastic like the park passes. I am so excited!

Just bought 25 trader pins off ebay for our trip in December. At least its a start. Will need more so both boys have some to trade. A little at a time.
StrawberryGuy has a Pin Trading book, I think it's 2.99. For your kindle, etc. Check it out! - MomWithAJuiceBoxBuzz

Be careful. I've heard some can be fake and not real. So everyone says be careful when buying online since you can't make sure they are the real thing - brodysmommy

People are so ridiculous. Anything to make a quick buck. SMH - 5disneylovers
345.1 #11 8:04AM
We use ebay every year before our trip, been lucky so far, they are so much cheaper that if you do care if they aren't real you still are ahead$ wise,. Same here for us, the girls just love trading them, so a fake for us really isn't a big deal - DizneyGirl
354.8 #10 8:07AM
Yippee! Just purchased our families tickets for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We decided to go on our first night there. So excited, only 90 days to go!

Changes are being made to our dining reservations, sat down with family and decided on a whole different approach. Sunday we will arrive early afternoon and plan on doing the Christmas party at night so don't want to waste time with a sit down. Monday headed to H.S. with dinner at Mana Melrosa's. Tuesday A.K. with dinner downtown at Fultons Crabhouse. Wed day trip to Universal. Thurs. Epcot with a late lunch at Rose and Crown Pub in Britian. Fri M.K. with lunch at Cinderellas Table. Saturday headed home, every minute to he savored and not spent eating. Cut out the Character meals because last year Aaron didn't eat anything because he was so concerned with the characters. No buffets because they are too difficult with a toddler. Hope we made the right decision but I feel good with it.
Sounds good to me, I think you will have a blast!! 😃 - toogrumpy

All new restaurants for us too except Cinderella's. Thought we should try new things. - MagicalFamily
47.6 #72 10:45PM
You have some great places to dine. That's what we do also to make our trip seem as a new adventure. Are you going to islands or universal on your day trip? We go there also 2 days 1 day for each park. Have a great time - mmddgp

For those of you at the 180 mark, FYI, Be Our Guest reservations are up and running online. I checked all the days we will be there and still no reservations open, but I find it weird that the reservation times were from 4 something only to 6 pm. No wonder they are booked solid, and now explains when the cm told me yesterday that they would be opening more times up.
Keep trying! I hope you can get a reservation:) - Ariel42
198.1 #25 10:47AM
Got into Cinderella's Table instead that day for lunch. Very happy! - MagicalFamily
47.6 #72 11:18AM
I am still upset about my bad experience yesterday with my dropped BOG reservation, but called this morning and talked to a very nice CM who said don't give up. Online reservations start tomorrow and she said give it a few days and try. More times might be added to dining times. I can hope.
Stay positive and keep trying, best of luck:) - tracsant
573.2 #3 6:18PM
Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Good luck! - disneycm
330.4 #12 6:33PM

150.4 #40 10:10PM
Very unhappy! I spent 3 hrs trying to make a reservation, got transfered to actual person, waited 1 hr to talk to person. No reservations available. No help at all from CM when I explained that the automated had a reservation for me before they transfered me. So now in tears and give up!
Aww. So sorry. I hate when I don't get the reservations I want. Hang in there and keep trying. Here's hoping for some cancellations. - leveretttltl

I'm sorry - Schramke
315.7 #14 10:29AM
Well, and the fact that the system LET you make a ressie and actually gave you a confirmation # with no credit card. It should have automatically patched you thru to a live CM, like it does when you call to make one for CRT. There are SO many people that have ressies with no CC to secure it, I am sure of it!! For those of you who tried unsuccessfully, keep trying, they will surely open up as soon as the system kicks those poor folks out. - mrsincredible
404.8 #5 1:47PM
I just read that all the ressies without a credit card # that were made today will be cancelled at midnight EST. So, try again tomorrow morning at 7 EST, I bet alot will have opened up!! :) - mrsincredible
404.8 #5 3:03PM
We are @ the 40 minutes of redial to make a BOG reservation. I refuse to give up, but eventually have to head to work. I might end up breaking my redial button I have used it so much.
DO NOT GIVE UP!!! :) - mrsincredible
404.8 #5 7:44AM
Make sure you talk to a CM, not the automated CM! You must guarantee the ressie with a credit card or the system will kick it out (even if you have a confirmation #). Good luck! Hope you've gotten through by now! It took me 2 hours and 15 min. - BagGal

Just realized our first night dinner reservation is just as the park is changing over to Mickeys Christmas Event, will this be a problem for us? Will they let us eat and than leave the park?
MK closes at 7 those nights so as long as your reservation is before then, I am sure you will be fine to eat and then leave. - Andrea84
306.4 #15 1:20PM
How do I make the most out of the dining plan? Any great tips I should know? Thank you!
Instead of using a snack to buy a water or drink, save one. When you eat you get a drink and they are huge. My family of 4 shares two fountain drinks and get two bottle drinks to bring around parks since drinks come free with dining plan. Then just refill at water fountains. It really saves your limited snacks not wasting them on drinks!(: also save some deserts from lunch/dinner and use as snacks later! - amandapanda3

Make reservations ahead of time!! We used our dining plan at coral reef and les chefs de France in Epcot. Also, Cinderella's royal uses 2 credits per person but it was so worth it to eat inside the castle :) - SarahJoshDisney

We usually our ddp for dinner so for breakfast we use a snack at the hotels quick serve for a bagel or croissant , Alot times we use to ts for one meal such as yachtsman steakhouse and still have qs so it's not like we are losing a meal and when we go during the food and wine we save all our snacks and eat around the world:) - tracsant
573.2 #3 8:10AM
106 days to go. What should we make sure we don't miss? This will be my 5th trip, Joshua's 3rd, and Aaron's 2nd. I always feel like there was something special we forget to do.
My family really enjoyed Animation Academy in HS. We usually skip it and now it's a must do! - BodinFabFive
