Welcome! What are your days?

You should be able to move it earlier. Just keep checking and sign up for res finders (touring plans and mouse dining). People cancel all the time.

We'll be there overlapping.

9/25-9/29.

Curious to know how many are flying to Disney or driving?

This will be my 7th Trip to Disney and have drove each time except in 2015 when it was just me and my husband we decided to try flying. That was my first time flying anywhere. This year we are flying for the 2nd time (it is just ME DH, DS and DGS who will still be under 2 when we fly so he is free) we like the idea of only taking about 2 hours to get there versus 14 to 16 driving. This will be my DS and DGS first time flying. I wish we could fly with my whole family but it cost over 2500 to fly us all out there and that is pricing it at the low end last year it was going to be around 3500 to fly ME, DH, DS, DGS, DD,her Finance, DD and DS two best friends. We fly Southwest.

Flying from Phila.

We live in Alabama, drive to Atlanta and stay with family then fly out from there! We use Southwest and buy our tickets when they drop to the $49-53 range!

4 rest days is a good thing with a vacation that long. We have 2 rest days for our 10 day stay and I think it kind of is the minimum. There might be a 3rd rest day in there... or just a "lazy river day."

For sure. We do a rest day after 2 days of parks. We did 5 park days in a row on our first trip and I was about to die. Hahah

 

[Felicis]

We are flying - because you can't drive to Orlando from New Zealand!

 

[Coconuts]

I used to ride in the car when my parents would drive. It's not as bad as people make it out to be... but you just have to plan ahead for traffic & pit stops so you don't want to choke each other by the time you arrive.

We like to fly. There is just something special and exciting about the magical express ride from the airport.
Can't wait!

 

[Rockette]

I'm flying as well, but we will be taking a car from the airport to our resort. I don't really like the wait times associated with the Magical Express going to the resorts.

Has anyone started to think about their AK touring plans with Pandora being open? I have tried to avoid reading too much because I don't want to have too many surprises spoiled but have started to try and figure out how best to tackle it. I've already planned 2 visits to AK while we are there but not sure about dropping back there in the evening. What is everyone else thinking?

 

[Jamye666]

Hi Everyone. Been following along for a while now but I guess I never chimed in and said we are coming. Staying 9/25-9/30 at SSR. I am so behind on planning right now!
