Guess this is the wrong place but there is no September 2019 thread. My wife and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary and her birthday the week of 9/14 - 9/21. We stayed at the CBR for our honeymoon and now it's going to be our first vacation away without any of the 4 kids and we're staying at the CR. We're both so excited and can't wait to enjoy all of it !!!

After the fall discounts came out my sister and I decided to switch hotels from POFQ to BW for our Oct 3-8 trip. This will be my sister's first time at BW and my third. We're really excited.

Finished up 99% of the stuff I wanted to do to the motorhome for our trip. I am so ready and excited for this trip! 30 days till my FP opens, the only one I want is Slinky Dog.
Took my 3 year old son to the movies to try to see Toy Story 4, while his mom and sister were wedding dress shopping ( daughter is getting married in October). He was good until the movie started but he was real tired and started having a magical moment. We ended up leaving because there was no reasoning with him.

Can we be added to the roll call? We are staying at the BC Oct 2 to 7. Thanks.

I was finally to get the premium band that my husband wanted. Now I can stop stalking that stupid Disney website.

If anyone is flying Southwest, check your flight schedule. We had a flight change coming in to MCO and now instead of 1 stop in Chicago then MCO, they have us going from Chicago to Pittsburgh (no plane change there). We are arriving at 5 PM now instead of 2:30 PM. By looking at other flights, its still the earliest we can get to MCO without paying an arm and a leg. Glad I don't plan anything until late in the evening on our arrival day!

Thanks for the heads up!

Anyone else struggling just a bit with scheduling for their October trip? The early hours (and lack of late hours for AK) are giving me trouble with trying to figure out which park to do which day. I had everything all figured out - but when they dropped the Extra Extra Magic Hours, it has me rethinking ALL my plans. I love the low crowds at rope drop, but my family will KILL me if I try to make them do 2 days at 6 am (or earlier). So - if anyone has any ideas about their plans & would like to share - I'd love some support. My dates are Oct. 9 - 14 - right before Columbus day.

I started having this exact same problem years back when my kids were teens. Deciding dining reservations even before we knew EMH made it that much more frustrating.
My solution: roll with it. EMHs are far too crowded these days during that first hour anyway, and they do make the parks more crowded during the day.. I can always hop a bus and arrive for the last hour of evening EMH if I really want the lower crowds. We're a late night family anyway, so it works out.

I'm struggling, too. My FP day is next Tuesday (going 9/28-10/4) and I am still moving my park days and reservations. We don't like EMH and always avoid those parks, so this trip will be weird for sure. But at least it's weird for everyone! My husband and I agreed to only have only two 4:30am wakeups to get to HS early. I'm guessing by the time we go he will want to change that to just one, even though we both LOVE SW. I would wake up then every day but we have little kids and grandparents with us and I don't want them to have a bad trip.

We like to hop so our plans are:
9/28 Disney Springs to MK
9/29 AK to E
9/30 E to HS
10/1 HS to MK (MNSSHP)
10/2 AK to Disney Springs
10/3 MK to AK
10/4 HS to home

Thanks for sharing your struggles too! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who is changing things around. It all works out in the end - but I know with a teenager & a preteen - getting them up for a 4:30 am wake up will be brutal. I'm trying to make my AK & MK evening (which is early) follow up with an earlier wake up. We'll be doing MNSSHP for the first time on our first full day - so excited about that! The whole trip is a surprise for my daughter - so trying to plan it with her around all the time has been tough.

Not really "October" specific, but more fall at WDW - do any parks other than Magic Kingdom decorate for fall? Like pumpkins, leaves, special photo ops, etc?

Epcot has Food & Wine and decor that goes along with that. This will be our first time doing it, so I can't name anything right off, but there's probably something.
