I have 40 days to go! I'm really excited to be staying at POR, even though I go to Disney frequently it's been 20 years since I've stayed at POR. We are trying a few new restaurants this trip (Turf Club, Raglan Road, Trattoria Al Forno), looking forward to that. I love everything Disney, but the thing I'm looking forward to the most is just the time with family and the wonderful memories.

Mr. Peetrie, enjoy your trip! I'm looking forward to hear, or read I should say, your review of The Boathouse...
I've eaten at Raglan Road and loved it... I'm sure you'll enjoy it too... Never did Boma for breakfast, but have eaten dinner there...

Love your post! I hope you have a great trip.
We have 71 sleeps to go before our next visit.:cloud9: It can't come soon enough.
We are excited to be staying at the Polynesian for the first time! Can't wait to experience that resort from sun up to sun down. Excited to be able to take the Monorail to EPCOT and MK.:thumbsup: Let's hope the modified schedule will be done by then.
We are also booked for the Mexican Tequila Lunch at EPCOT. :marg: First time doing this and can't wait!
We are also doing MNSSHP. We have done this once before and it is phenominal!
The parade and fireworks show can't be missed!
Lots of folks in the 40 day range! Us too!
It's nice to see a thread like this with so much excitement and anticipation!
We are excited about our first stay at Boardwalk Villas.
We've got some great ADRs for lots of new places including La Hacienda, Be Our Guest, Hollywood Brown Derby, The Wave, and breakfast at Trattoria al Forno
We are looking forward to riding 7 Dwarves Mine Train for the first time and also see seeing the new parade at MK.
Can't wait to be in the magic again! :mickey:

I love this post! So fun to see the things that people are getting excited for.
We will be in the World in 11 days (insert excited, totally adult like squeal here).
We are also looking forward to seeing the Fantasyland Expansion (our last trip was 5 years ago), the Harambe expansion, and a breakfast at Boma (we've had dinner there and walked by breakfast in the morning since we were staying at AKL, but we didn't try it). I'm looking forward to watching my son (who is 2) take in all the sights and sounds and entertainment. He *loves* water, so there will be lots of fountain watching, and he loves music, so there will be lots of stopping to dance (he can create a dance party in the aisle at IKEA, so I'm sure in Disney he'll be having a blast). We have a number of new dining experiences planned, we're doing the night safari at the AKL thanks to my parents for our anniversary present and they're watching our son. I'm looking forward to watching my parents experience Disney through my son's eyes. Plus, we're traveling with not only my parents, but some of our best friends and their two year old daughter and we're surprising our friends who love gardening with the Behind the Seeds tour!
I can't wait!

We are going in November for around Thanksgiving. We arrive the Fri before and leave the Sun after. It will be our 3rd holiday season trip (we try to go every few years) and I still can't wait to experience all of the holiday stuff at the parks and resorts again. I just wish I knew who our CP narrator will be. We are doing a split stay between Poly and AKL and have visited but never stayed. Also,I have not seen the new MK afternoon parade. We are trying TH and Captain's Grille for breakfast and are having a CP breakfast which we have not done in a long time. For lunch new to us is Tutto Italia and Beaches and Cream. Our new dinner is at Fulton's. We are also going to old favorites for all 3 meals and can't wait to eat at those again especially BOG dinner. There are food allergies in our group so it is easier to eat all meals TS.

1. Gaston's tavern giant cinnamon rolls and GASTON!
2. Posters at Rapunzels tower
3. renewed hub in front of castle

Rapunzel's Tower is located in the Magic Kingdom, between It's A Small World and Haunted Mansion. The area is basically fancy bathrooms and charging stations, but the tower is a definite highlight.
I just wanted to say "Have Fun!"
Well, we have 149 nights to go to celebrate my brides 50th at BLT. Going to our two favorites Rose n Crown in Epcot for dinner and Liberty Tree Tavern in WDW. Hope everyone enjoys!!
