Wow you have so much WDW in your future, I'm so excited for you guys!!
They have no concept of what terms like "Rope Drop" and "Ticket and Transportation Center" mean so let's just say, I'm just their unofficial tour guide.
Isn't it funny that some people don't use these terms every day lol?? Soon they will all know lol.
Anyone have any experience with kids who have some anxiety issues? Just wanted to see if there was anything we could do to make things easier for her.
My son has a lot of anxiety. We took him to theme parks and WDW as a kid. I find with him anyway, he is really big on knowing what to expect, so it's a good thing you are a WDW expert. Just try to tell him what can happen and I always try to be realistic. There may be a long line. It may be hot and there will be lots of people. But there is fun stuff to look at while you wait etc. Also, if you have a fidget spinner or some such..or other small trinkets to keep them distracted if anxiety starts to flare up I find that helps too.
@KathyM2 and
@Monykalyn Saturday August 12 at AK (pm)
Crap. I can't keep track of everyone's plans. But sadly I don't think that one will work. I only have an 8 day park ticket so since Saturdays tend to be busiest I was going to use that as a non park day.
However, that afternoon, we will be at DS which I think sort of lines up with your later plans?
@KathyM2: Sunday August 13th - Probably at Trader Sams after our BoG dinner. We'll probably be meeting throughout the week in any case!
Yes, this one works if you are around the Poly. I was actually thinking of maybe some low key evening activity - I read somewhere that each resort usually has some sort of campfire with S'mores? I'm sure the Poly has something...not sure if your family would be into that but..that might be a fun way to hang out. But Trader Sams would of course be awesome, I assume you mean after your BOG dinner so for you would be just drinks - we may eat there or something, not sure. We are planning ice cream at either Beaches and Cream or Ample Hills that afternoon so we may not be that hungry lol
@MeghanEmily: Friday August 18th in MK around the time of our CRT lunch, or Sunday August 20th right before our Tragical Express
@MeghanEmily I can't remember the rest of your days but hope we can do a drive by too lol. I think we are planning Epcot that morning and MK that night, but things could change lol. I can PM you my cell number too if you want.
Oh and did you hear...August 19th is the 2nd Annual Photopass Day! I really don't know much about this, but I think there will be some rare characters out, and maybe some additional magic shots. Here's a brief description of last year's event:
This is intriguing. I have never gotten PP before and am still debating whether I should. It's $169 US plus tax so I did some math and for us Canadians that works out to around $30 per day. I am just not sure I can justify that....I may want to spend that money on other things...but the magic shots are so cool, so I'm really torn.
Prince Edward Island so I can fulfill my dreams of visiting Anne of Green Gables
I really want to do this so I will be living vicariously. Even though I'm Canadian I have never been to PEI. My soon-to-be-ex-husband thought it would be boring so we never went. But now I may get my chance lol. One perk I suppose lol.
