WOW! That's a palace!

Great report! MSEP does not SMB. The proof is looking at Z while he watches it. So there! :)

I like the blue better too.

Just reading this whole thread, and I'm tearing up because it's so sweet. (Yes, I'm a softie.) What a great story!

Anyone at the Fort want to take pictures of the Fort specific merchandise currently available? You're a great Fiend if you do!

As a parent of a little one, I find that with a good nap, he can really stretch bedtime at Disney. He's usually in bed at 8 as well, but we were able to do Wishes, Fantasmic, etc, AND he was happy the whole time doing those late night things. (Just don't plan anything the next morning :) ) And check in early. I've had great success with checking in 20 mins or so early and being seated before my ADR. Although, I've never tried it there.

All the above is true. And the magic times are 6am (not 6:30, be on your computer a few minutes early to log-in) by phone and 7am by computer. This is for all ADRs, not just BOG. I'm not sure there is a need to game the system though because they hold some ressies back. For example, I got my BOG at the time I wanted for day 4 of our 9 day trip. There wasn't a need to pretend we were coming early and shorten later. Hope I'm making sense there. That's also why it's good to keep checking back over a week if you don't get what you want. But I've never really had to do that except when I change my

YAY!!!! I can't wait to hear your report. And Jason is a BBQ man, so I need details on that. :)

By the way, who is going to go before I get there and give me all the tips about what I need to try? TCD?

From what I understand, the 180+10 is what allows you to make reservations for your whole trip. For example, from 180 days from the first day of our trip, I could make reservation for that day plus 10 in the future, so the ADR I made for April 5 was really 187 days out. That's the plus 10. Non resort guests would have to call or get online each day at the 180 mark. Using the 180 day 6 am online method not only do I get every restaurant I've ever wanted, but I also get the time (give or take 15 mins). I start with the one I know is the hardest and work from there. It used to be CRT. This time I

Yummmmmmmmmm

And keep checking online!!!!! Things do open up. For the future, the website opens an hour earlier than the phone does. That's how I get all our ADRs for the hard to get ressies. It stinks to wake up that early, but 6 AM eastern time on the 180 mark online works.

We're doing a 6:00 dinner at BOG. I'd eat lunch there too, but then Jason would think I'm REALLY insane. Plus, it might ruin some of the dinner magic. We can do another CS lunch or eat lunch on our break. I'd like to know your thoughts on changing up Fantasyland. I want to take out Pooh, SW (obviously), and IASW and add Belle, LM (even though it may or may not SMB), Ariel meet (remember DS thinks he's going to marry her) and Barnstormer. , Later in the morning, I want to take out JC and Carpets and add BTMRR. Is it possible to do that and still get a break? I'm hoping!

Odd that they're doing this and Starbucks at the same time, isn't it?

Sure! And sorry for not mulitquoting. My ipad is being weird.

Thanks!!!! FPV= FP volunteer... 1 adult goes and meets the family where we are heading. Quicker and less tiring than everyone going. Not getting another set of FP was just because in Fantasyland, there werent any that we needed. This was before Barnstormer had one and before Little Mermaid. BTMR was also closed or I would have pulled it before Pirates. I waited to pull Space to make it after my CRT ADR.

They were then too. But parent swap passes don't have return times.

Dave, while there is no loyalty program, we preload Disney gift cards to pay for dining. And I get Kroger gas points when I buy them.

Great start! Love an all Fort report. My tree from BJs has the same problem. Want to come unstring it for me? Please,

Longest wait... Using the parent swap pass because the FP line was backed up.... 15 minutes Also important to note Snow White was still there and BTMRR was closed.

Yes, my name is Kelly, and I'm a planner. I admit it. Some people want to see this and it will give others reasons to make fun of me. Here's our MK day on a semi-recommended day during Spring Break last year, level 9-10 crowds. I had the plan in the notes on my iphone and added some times along the way when i remembered. Keep in mind that while Dumbo had moved, the rest of New Fantasyland wasn't open. Still, you can see how much is possible, even with a break. Yes, we made it to the crazy EMH at 7AM.... 6:45 actually. We had an early night the day before and a break day after. It was totally w

Those caramel items look sooooooooooooooooooo good. And so does the food at BOG. I'm hungry now. Even though I just ate.

I think I can translate.... Y'all=Southern Southern=good

Yeah, Steph ruined that whole "I'm not a drinker" thing for you!!!

My guess is TIW will end up better. I alway cringe when I hear about people using 2 TS credits to eat at signature restaurants. They say they wouldn't have eaten there otherwise, but I don't see how they didn't actually pay more to do so with the dining plan.
