Blonde Bunny

You had me at purple!  I wish they came in purple.  I'm rather surprised they don't.  Families with several little girls must all get pink!

I can second Meacham's RV.  We have rented from them twice, both times in a hybrid and in the pop up loop.  Golf carts, too.  Andrew is awesome to work with!

Here's the signs from the Fort launch.  I took a picture last trip because I can never remember.  Now I don't have to!

Thank you all! We are going to give our friend a call this weekend. I'll let you know what becomes of it.

If your avatar is any representation, I may chip in for the tickets.

haha!  awesome!  :)

Oh, and he is a waiter, so I'm guessing they are regular comp tix.

Ok, that's good info. Another question, though. Can you link comped tix to MDE and book FPs?

So, when we were there our last trip, we had a wonderful experience with a CM.  He really connected with our family.  We took pictures with him, and we texted him a couple of them.  As we were leaving, he said to let him know the next time we'd be in WDW and that he can get us free tickets to the parks.  We are planning a trip back in November and would love to see him again, tickets or no tickets.  However, my husband is worried that we could get him into trouble if he were to offer and give us tickets.  Does anyone know what the policies are about this?

I'm planning a surprise trip for my son's 13th birthday in Nov. 2016.  For this trip, we will fly down and stay at a resort.  I'm pretty savvy about ressies for the campground, dining, and FP+, but not about resorts.  When's the best time to reserve our room to get the best deal? TIA

We will be arriving on the 26th and departing on the 3rd.  We are not in a park for the 31st.  :)

We arrive on the 26th and will be at HS that afternoon/evening.  However, we will be around until the 3rd, so if anything else is going on, we'd be interested.  :)

I bring liquid detergent in a squeeze sports bottle (labeled, of course).

Oh, and don't wash your phone...

Thanks everyone!

We are currently redecorating our house to have a beachy, coastal living theme.  It would be lots of fun to have a few hidden Mickey's in the mix!  Which gift shops would be the best for finding beach decor?  Would the beachy resorts have fun items or would I be better off at World of Disney?

What about a 2nd campground?  Maybe over in the Animal Kingdom resorts area?  It would be a completely different experience.

It took me a while to find it, but I found a first-hand report here from BFM recounting how they got to the dock at 6:15 am and caught the MK boat for a 7 am EMH at the MK: http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/9703-its-a-buckeyefortfamily-spring-break-eggstravaganza/?p=267168

 

As you can see, they made it for the opening show, and had a very productive morning at the Magic Kingdom.

 

Everything you need to know about the Fort and WDW can be found in Fort Fiend trip reports!

Thanks!  That is very helpful!

Yep, we plan to bail right after lunch, which we have a res for.  :)

Hang on... If I want to be at rope drop/welcome show and the park opens at 7:00, will hopping a boat to the Comtemp at 6:45 and walking get me through bag check in time?  I'm thinking we won't make it that way, or will that boat be magically earlier than 6:45?  Won't the boat to MK (at 1/2 hour before park opening) be faster?  Or won't that boat come 1/2 hour before EMH?

So, what happens when MK opens at 8, with EMH at 7?  This will be the case for our upcoming trip.  Should we drive to the Contemporary or chance the MK boat?  My parents have never seen the welcome show and we'd like to get there in time for it. 

Meecham's RV is the best!  They have campers with bunks and campers with 3 queen beds.  You get a Fiend discount, too.  Check them out!

Wow, that is definitely too steep for us!

Well, im truth, I am talking about NEXT year. Getting all my options and info ready a year in advance. I'm planning on making my dining reservations 180 days out. I'll check into the party, but that's not what we had in mind, though.

You all have had some great tips here.
