Well looks like the hurricane activity is starting in the Atlantic. Now I will be obsessing over the weather and reports all the way til October hoping that everything misses Disney this year. Good luck to us all.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

This post is worthy of infraction points.

Or as they say in the south, “you hush your mouth”.

My bad

My bad

I kid. I did just do a quick search to see what the weather folks are saying. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Yeah I had a news alert from USA Today. It wasn't a happy alert.

Y'all hurricane watchers care to share a link? We are heading down on Friday. Had to delay our trip last year 2 weeks due to Irma. Hoping we don't have to do that again!

I'm sorry if this has been answered, I've been following this thread for a couple months but my memory.... My mom is the only passholder in a our group of 4. If she buys our party tickets with her AP discount and we split up will the two of us have a problem getting in without my mom since she's the AP holder? My boyfriend was hoping to make ADR's for the two of us for my birthday and meet my mom and nephew at the party afterwards.

My son is military and he is buying our MNSSHP tickets when we arrive. He can't make it to the party so we checked, and they said no need for him to be with us when we go, just has to be there when they are purchased.

Buying the tickets is one thing. Using the tickets is another thing.

If the person buys over the phone, they can have the tickets mailed to them. The person can hand you the tickets, assuming they order early enough.

If the person orders online, the tickets automatically end up in the buyer's My Disney Experience account. For example, I bought a ticket. It ended up in my MDE account. I could then easily assign it to someone else who is in my MDE account. But if I wanted to assign it to someone who is not in my MDE account, I don't know how to do it. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying that I can't tell you what to do. If this is your situation, make sure you know what to do before the tickets are ordered. When you order online, you also can have the tickets sent to you.

Sorry about that. Hopefully it won't impact your trip and completely miss everything.

I grew up in Oregon too but I have to say that walking around in the rain covered in a plastic poncho in FL is a little different and not all that enjoyable.

And now I'm stalking the national hurricane tracker... we were there last year during Labor Day week and got out right before they shut down the airport.

We were there during it, all the rain reminded me of Oregon. Is it wrong that I'm kinda hoping that one makes it way after we get there again. I live in AZ so

Me too. I'm from Oregon and am stalking the tracker and hoping one is there around the time we are. I was there last year and had four days left after it passed through. It really cleared the parks, Did frozen five times in a row with no lines. once we were the only people on the boats.

I had originally booked our trip from 9/3-9/7 the the lower room rates were great but DH said we needed to go later due to Hurricane threats so we switched to last week in October and I am also nervous about the weather for our trip

I know Disney hardly closes the parks for anything other than a tropical depression/hurricane. If this develops into a TD or Hurricane and they have to cancel the party, will they give you a refund?

My friends are AP holders and bought our tickets. My family got in with our discounted tickets without needing the AP holders with us.

If Disney cancels the party you will get a refund.

Yeah, we noticed the crowds were pretty low even before it hit from all the people who canceled their trips or rescheduled I guess. We were a little jealous of those staying through the hurricane, since we knew the parks would be dead after it! We left on our originally scheduled departure flights, which were the evening before they shut down MCO. It was a bit tense in there that evening!

Thank you for your son's service!

The MDE route sounds a bit complicated, and my luck, I'd totally mess it up. We aren't staying onsite, plus my boyfriend doesn't have a magicband, so I think it would just be easiest to have the tickets mailed to us. Thank you for all the information, it was incredibly helpful!

I bet. I'm glad you got out and got home ok. So did the kids start back to school today?

I don't have kids but I think Denver schools started back last week. In Oregon we always started after Labor Day.

So according to Pete Werner on today's DisUnplugged, Disney has raised capacity for the party from about 20-22k to over 30k! Having attended the first party, I'm sad to say I believe this. We didn't plan on riding any rides, but ended up doing so because it was so packed. It was the only thing you could do without excessive waits. We couldn't even trick or treat, take photopass photos (no characters) or get a bottle of water for that matter without excessive lines. If you are planning on attending the party and haven't listened to today's show, you should. I hope Disney is listening and make adjustments.

This was for the first party and I do believe because it was a "Media event" many people in the media received free tickets. I do not believe that future parties will be like this first one!

I don't think this is true at all. Your posts have helped many and I certainly appreciate the time you take to help others. Keep up the great work!

I agree!

I know you don’t post pictures of yourself, but I’d love to see how your pics turned out with the fireworks in the background! An MK fireworks photo is on my bucket list for sure! Hopefully there’s a way to crop yourself out of the shot so we can see how that looks. And where is the photographer located that you used? Thanks so much!!

This location for fireworks is defi Italy a consideration!

Nice ghost costume. Very traditional.
FYI for those itching to point it out, yes, I know this isn't a ghost costume.

Lol!

Soooooooo I don't see much from this for early October. When we went to the party at the end of Sept 2015 it definitely rained.....but gosh, It was just water. I rather enjoyed the empty park
