I’m here too-but I lost count of how many people down I am! Can’t wait!!!
(I also decided to reserve a color so any updates I have will be in this color!)
I like this idea!
Me too!

Yea!! I’m here too! Su—Lynn, I’m so looking forward to seeing you and Billie again, and maybe Lindsey if she can make it... and finally getting to meet lots of people I’ve “met” virtually either through fB or their own TR’s
My confirmed dates are May 3-8, doing a split stay between POFQ and Poly. Please count me in for drinks, hopefully on more than one occasion, and whatever else I can squeeze in leaving the two kids to fend for themselves. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to ditch Mama for a bit to go do their own thing.
I'm gonna go ahead and call THIS pink and hope it's not exactly the same as the other two
I'm hoping they give us more free drink coupons in September since I noted it's our anniversary(I met Alyssa and her DH last year during our Dec trip. We had a great time drinking at the Dolphin. I hope we get to do it again!!)
Would it be better to renew my annual pass at the start of November, or upgrade from a ticket in May? I'm feeling like the May option would actually be smartest since I likely wouldn't use the pass until May... But this is my first AP so any advice is welcome!
Haha I think that is the same pink but it's ok I will talk in italics.
YAY!! So excited that you have booked already! This dream trip is finally happening!
I've updated your travel plans...you're so on point!!
Upgrade a new ticket is what I typically do. I can usually get a bit of a savings from a discount ticket seller (usually Undercover Tourist) that I upgrade which helps with the math when figuring out whether to take the discounted AP renewal rate or to buy a new pass that's good for a whole year. If you're not going between November and May, that's a whole six months that you're paying for an AP you're not using! But other people like just renewing at the same time every year and knowing they always have a pass.
My logic breaks down like this: we tend not to travel much in the hottest part of the summer so my passes have gone from May '14-May '15, October '15-October '16, December '16-January '18 (13 month promo) and then April 18 -April '19. If I had just done renewals, those four annual pass costs would have only carried me through to May 2018, but instead I have a pass good through April 2019, almost a whole extra year. Even accounting for the value of the four renewal discounts (this year it's about $136), the total value of the renewal discounts added together isn't enough to pay for 11/12ths of an annual pass, so I've come out better by NOT renewing. I have no idea if I explained that well, but I just hate the idea of paying for an annual pass during the 25% of the year I know I'm not going to be using it.
Hi everyone!!! I’m definitely in!!! I’m hoping to nail down dates and resort sometime this week. Right now I’m thinking about POP, AoA or POFQ.
My husband Joe will be joining me, but he’ll be busy doing his own thing.
I’m really excited to be part of this epic girl’s trip and so grateful to @chunkymonkey for including me. I also can’t wait to meet all of you and see old friends like @kastoney and @ariane37.
OMG these are so Steve Shrimp in our house too. Just not amazing yet until I try them for myself. #GreatMindsThis is my typical report font color so I guess I'm calling dibs, haha! I am so excited. Loving the idea of an 'Ohana welcome dinner and all things festival-grazing at Epcot. I have been longing for the Amazing Steve Shrimp (which of course we will call AS2 because it has such a brilliant acronym... wait is there already an AS2?! ) after @ariane37 wrote about it again. That shrimp is the only Steve allowed (except Rogers).
