Hi, Jacqueline--So excited that you did a little stealth trip! I can't wait to hear if you ate at Topolino's Terrace. I ate there during my trip last month and it was not the best experience, unfortunately. But Sanaa, SH 71 and Toledo were wonderful! Wait--they have single rider at Remy's Ratatouille adventure? Since when? My aunt and I waited over an hour! You have so much energy and patience for split stays! I extended my December trip because a single night at Boulder Ridge opened up and I wanted to try the new rooms. Actually, I've never stayed there. But otherwise, I am avoiding split stays. Great airfares! I've also found some similar fares, so I'm not complaining either. I responded to your Soarin' Over California video but didn't hear back from you. Maybe you've been busy? Take a look if you can. I offered some emotional support for what you discussed in the creator update and I'd like you to know you were on my mind. Have a great week!
Hiya!! I did end up going to Topolino's, but I just sat at the bar for an app, a drink, and an "enhancement" or brussels. I enjoyed it! Okay so literally the entire group I met up with had no idea about single rider. I texted a friend who used to be a Cast Member about this cause Im like "did I make this up somehow?!" and they confirmed yes there is single rider, but no it's not always open. So I guess I've just always been lucky with it being open. Since the ride cars are two rows of 3 the single rider is incredibly efficient, I love it. I think I am losing some of my energy for split stays for sure haha. My friends flight on arrival night got delayed, and we were already getting in a bit late, so we spent such little time at that first hotel then just woke up and on to the next. It's really a balance of cost vs effort for me, and definitely this time we wanted to keep cost down. Like if I'm landing at 10 pm, sorry no I don't want to stay on property and pay those prices. Maybe if we were doing 2 nights we could justify it for Pop Century or something, but then with the BLT confirmed reservation coming up and it being a HEA night and only $325 (so not that much more than Pop Century!), too hard to resist. And once we locked in that single BLT night, it was obvious the night before would be separate too. But yeah I'm sketching out some future trips and I don't think any will be this intense on the splits. Ooh I've never been to BRV either! I look forward to your thoughts. Hopefully it's a relaxing and peaceful one night. Oh sorry - yes I will scroll back through! I don't know what setting got toggled and how to untoggle it, but I'm no longer getting emails when people reply to my replies to them. So it's been really hard to keep track of / keep up with conversation threads. I'll go back though soon, thank you :)
I think it's around midday in Florida as I watch this on Sep 14th.... So, I guess you must be having some delicious snacks in Epcot right now!!!! I look forward to hearing about what snacks you're having. Have you been to Disney in August? We were planning on going next October but... Looks like it will have to be August and I'm a bit nervous re the weather etc. We did go the second half of September last year.... It was certainly very hot but it didn't put us off going back at that time.
Ha yes surely I was eating my way around F&W! I probably overate, but ya know I had a lot of good items on my list lol. I have not been in August. I've been to Florida in July (not Disney) and it was extremely unpleasant. I find September to pretty much be my breaking point. Like even that's a lot for me personally. Though, probably tmi fun fact, whatever aging process is going on in my body as of this year my skin is now pretty prone to heat rash so that's also changing the way I'm thinking about it. Last October was pleasant imo. Still warm and muggy but not nearly as bad as September (or that one time I went in July). I do think that's a bit of a luck situation though -- October can probably rival September's brutalness. I personally would say if you're planning for August you almost surely need to plan for mid-day break. I really cannot in good faith recommend a full parks day in August, unless the weather is unseasonably cool with good cloud cover.
@@PixieDustPhD oh no! We wouldn’t do full park days anyway! 😅😅😅. We tend to either go morning or evening and then something else or hotel the other half of the day. I’m totally stuck with August due to kids starting courses in September and not wanting to take any time out. They only have a week break in October - I was going to take them out one week but one doesn’t want to in case they miss something, which I understand! Also, seems people are saying August crowds are comparatively low and that October crowds are really high now? Or is that nonsense? I feel really stuck deciding now tbh about when we could possibly go….that isnt too hot nor crazy crowded! :/ Any advice welcome lol
@@KittyMeowWow Yeah I've had several friends go in August and say the crowds were low / manageable. If I were you, I probably would do August just for the school logistics reasons youve mentioned. And ya know just absolutely plan on midday breaks and keep expectations in check - overheating is not worth getting on one more ride! (But obviously I am not you so ya know you're gonna have to do what you think is best despite advice from folks on the internet! haha)
@@PixieDustPhD thank you! We decided to put the trip on hold. Kids unsure what they are going to be doing now so, (changed their minds lol) it’s possible we may be able to go at another time. I’m thinking mid November, when we have been plenty of times. Will just have to see! :)
Woohoo~wow-top shots~gooddbye-🖖
Good for you! For a last minute trip, you really made it very affordable! Have a great time!
Ha, it really helps splitting the hotel rooms with a friend, that's for sure!
