. Woohoo!
. I have ponchos and I bought some new quick dry socks and shorts and my shoes should be ok for rain. I am considering bringing our umbrellas. Any other words of wisdom about making a week full of possible thunder storms (forecasted day and night) a good experience. 
I would keep check and check the October canceled thread on the Disboards. I know I have to cancel a BOG dinner this weekend for our early October trip and will be posting on the board.Everything is in order! First time going to F&W, I finally have my F&W list of food to try finalized (whew, so many things I wanted to eat!)! Just need to score BOG for dinner~ (Hoping for cancellations)
I am leaving in 20 days!!!
Our bands shipped today too!!!
Totally shocked they didnt travel around the US before arrive like they did last year.
Mine were delivered next business day, I think they did away with the "give your bands a US tour!" service. Yay bands!Edited to add.... looks like Magic Bands will be delivered today!
I love using an umbrella at Disney. It keeps your face and head dry, something that a poncho can't do. And ponchos get hot and are awkward to fold and store when wet. I have very small and lightweight umbrellas and bring a small trash bag, like a 4 gallon size, to store the wet umbrellas. The small umbrellas cover my head and shoulders but don't poke other people, a common problem with using umbrellas in a crowd.
You just hit all my favorites! Like every one! Outside of the lounges snacks/drinks (Nomad is really really good)
If it helps, you can pre-order something you think they'd like, and make changes almost up until that ADR. And, quite literally make a change when your rose "buzzes" and you pay. So, if they originally ordered a waffle, but then wanted just fruit (whatever!) just swap it before you pay.
BUT ALWAYS PRE-ORDER (which it seems like you know)
Woohoo!!
