Although there is a few things to work out, this seems like it might work better for you in the end.
Was the hot FP tip that someone was going to cancel, or is there a trick?Getting so close now - 6 weeks from today! It's going to go by so fast! I still have about half of our shirts to make (I make each person 4 custom t-shirts to wear during the trip so it's quite a large undertaking) and have a hamper in our bedroom for disney stuff. So far I've got a ton of glow sticks, some fun disney themed stuff from Target's dollar spot for the way down, mini m&m containers for pressed pennies, some new clothes for the kids and snacks. I finally got FOP to round out our fastpasses (thanks to a hot tip on the disboards FB page since I had given up checking), so at least those are out of mind. Magic bands will ship soon too - yay! We have one more camping trip between now and then so I can't really start packing yet, otherwise I definitely would be!
Thank you! I was able to shuffle some things around and get better times for FoP and NRJ! There was a shocking amount of availability, considering it was booked solid at 7:01 AM 64 days out previously!Someone had posted that Disney released a whole bunch of FP times for FOP. So I went over and sure enough, not only were there more (I got to choose between about 10 different times - and I was only looking at midday/early evening) but I got a time that worked better for us than the previous FP (which was not FOP). I don't know how long they lasted and that was a couple of days ago but if you haven't checked lately it's worth it!

Sounds like a plan! Hope everything goes great on the farm. Work has been really heating up here, too, so I know that Fort respite is going to feel extra good. The hosts on my favorite Disney podcast always rave about Homecoming, so that sounds like a really good choice for hubby's birthday. My DD8 is also hoping for tiger cubs, but people are whispering that it might not be until early next year?!?! We'll all have to keep our fingers crossed. We have 3 of our 10 days' worth of FP+ booked at AK to take advantage of Pandora.HI folks, sorry I have been away from the boards for awhile. We have been very busy here in the Great White North. As a matter of fact, up until this Wednesday our November trip was in jeopardy due to staffing issues at work. I have been working lots of overtime this summer due to short staffing and any weekends off I have been helping my DH at our new Farmstand. I was finally able to switch my last shift needed on Wednesday so we are back on track. DH and I will be flying in on November 1st arriving around noon. Our DD21 will arrive later that evening. Fastpasses are booked, we are looking forward to spending more time at AK than usual to explore Pandora and hope to see the tiger cubs.
DH will be celebrating his 50th Birthday while we are there and we have invested in a small sign and T-shirts to mark the big day. Reservations have been made for Art Smith's Homecoming for the Birthday meal.
We will be in a Premium site and are looking forward to being back to our Disney home!
If there's not a site available (or not one you want), you can always park in the overflow lot and take the bus to the marina. Then hop on the boat over and take the morning to walk around the GF/Poly/WL or hop on the monorail for a bit. Even if we're not heading to MK that day, it's always exciting to see the boat pull into the park! We haven't ever had a problem checking in early (one year it was a whole day early and they not only accommodated us but gave us the night for free since they didn't have our first choice available) so I doubt you'll have a problem. But if you do it's nice that there's so much to do at Disney that you can go anywhere! Disney Springs would be fun too!If there's actually a site ready for us, we could be mostly set up by breakfast time... that's like a whole extra day! The burning question going through my mind lately is what I'm willing to take at 6 AM versus what sites I'm willing to wait until the afternoon for.
