11/17-11/23 (CBR)... Thxgiving dinner on the Autotrain on the ride home...working around a school schedule! :rotfl2:

[redheaded mama]

we are arriving Nov 22 we will be staying off-sire. We are doing AK for Thanksgiving and I don't have any ADRs for that day. (I hope we don't starve :) ). We are checking into the GF on the 26 - December 3. I can't wait. :yay:

[cjsmom5]

Redheaded mama -- You can always do counter service so you won't starve. The BBQ place at AK is really good. If you are thinking you want to do a sit down ...then you might want to see if you can get a ADR ... even a late one. Most of the places, all over WDW, that were sit down were only taking people who had ADRs. We ended up making a couple about 8:30pm at night and we were glad we had them. Just a thought.

[mtpalmer]

Going 11/18-11/25, staying at CSR, Turkey Day dinner at Rose and Crown.

First time with my DH & DD, my first time in over 20 yrs, and I'm just ecstatic! :yay:

Thanks for the info on Rose and Crown? Would you mind filling me on on what is on the pre-plated meal and what exactly was different?

Thanks, and hope you have a GREAT trip! It's getting closer and closer! :bounce:

[Steven41782]

We're staying at CR 11-21 - 11-26. Thanksgiving Dinner a day early at Liberty Tree Tavern. Thanksgiving day we're eating at the Coral Reef... a non-traditional thanksgiving meal. Is it time to start packing???!? :cool1:

Steven

[cjsmom5]

Getting closer but this might yet be a tad early to start packing. I know the feeling though as we arrive at POFQ for three days on Thanksgiving Day and then switch over to the YC for eight days. Seems so far away but since it is cooling down to mid 80s here ... I know it is getting closer.

[44sun]

It's never too early to start packing! :rolleyes: Set a suitcase in the corner & throw stuff at it once in a while.

WL 11/18-11/25 & T-day @ HDDR

Tick tock! :teeth:

[Wishes2you]

We are going 11/19 - 11/24 staying at the Carribean Beach Resort. We are
having traditional Thanksgiving dinner at the Kona Cafe. First trip for us so I have been reading all the great tips here.

Thanks to Dismom+two (my sister) I found this site.

44sun - I agree with the suitcase in the corner. As I think of things I just toss
them in.

[BamaFan121s]

Checking in on 18th to CBR, checking out on 25th.

[44sun]

44sun - I agree with the suitcase in the corner. As I think of things I just toss
them in.

As I read about 'must haves' on this board, the suitcase helps to not forget! I still have some of the little Wisk laundry tablets that I heard about here a few years ago, they're in the suitcase ready to go! :cool2:
Ah yes, if you see a family of 4 checking into the WL with 15 suitcases, that'd be us because I start to pack 3 months in advance. :rolleyes1 (not really!)

[Wishes2you]

I have been accused by DH of slightly overpacking when we travel.
Okay so slightly isn't quite the word he would use.

[cjsmom5]

But one never knows when one might need something. My DH says the same thing, too. Oh well, at least if I need it, I have it. :)

[roelongo]

We'll be at WLV from 11/21-11/27 :cheer2: :cheer2: Having t-day at in-laws :rolleyes:

[Nursejilly]

We'll be at CSR 11/19-11/25!! Can't wait!! Thanksgiving "lunch" at 50's prime time cafe.. :hourglass

[WANNABE@WDW]

Hi, I am so glad I am not the only one that has started to pack! We will be checking into the WL on 11/16 for three nights and then we are renting points at the BWV for seven nights. We are having Thanksgiving dinner at 1900 Park Fare. I am getting so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NurseJilly, where in Louisiana are ya'll from?

[TigerKat]

We're checking in at Boardwalk 11/18 thru 11/25!! I'm SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!
Hey three Louisiana DISers in a row! :woohoo:

[WANNABE@WDW]

TigerKat, are ya'll staying in the Boardwalk Inn or at the Boardwalk Villas? We move over to the Boardwalk Villas on Sunday the 19th. We love the Boardwalk! Hopefully next year we will be able to buy a DVC there. The lobby is so pretty, I can't wait to see it decked out for Christmas!

[TigerKat]

We'll be at Boardwalk Inn for the first time!! I'm so excited, this will be our first time staying at a deluxe. :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

[WANNABE@WDW]

We fell in love with the Boardwalk last year. I love the location and the atmoshpere. We like the convenience of being able to walk or take the boats to Epcot and MGM . All of the evening happenings are so fun! Well maybe we will see ya'll around the lobby! I'll be listening for Louisiana accents!

[Nursejilly]

Hi, we are also from good ole Baton Rouge!! It will be first trip to disney for my 2 yr old! I know she won't remember the trip but i can't wait to see her enjoying Cinderella's royal table! We are doing a girls only trip (me, 10yr old and 2yr DD, mom, sis, 2yr old niece, aunt) while the men go to arkansas VS LSU game!! Can't wait!
:wizard:

[WANNABE@WDW]

We (dd's, ages 9 and 6, and I) have been about 8 times in the last four years, but this will be dh's first "real" Disney vacation with us ( he came for 3 nights about two years ago). I love "girl" trips! We can do princess stuff till we just can't take anymore!!!!!!! I have converted several friends to the "Disney" way of life, so we travel together alot without our hubbys. I am getting so excited! I am excited just to be going to WDW, but to go at the start of the Holidays is extra special! I just wanted to say that you may be suprised at what your daughter may remember. My younger daughter was 2 when she went for the first time and she remembers somethings and when she sees the pictures she recalls even more! Well, I have printed out my mousekeeping envelopes and have started gathering all my paperwork to put in my backpack. I am going to start packing our toiletries (that we don't use everyday) tomorrow. I am so glad I have the DIS, that way my non-Disney friends don't think I am neurotic!!!!!!! :banana:

[cjsmom5]

Wannabe@disney

I so agree -- my non-Disney friends just don't get it -- they can't figure out why we keep going back -- and talking about it all year -- they just don't understand!

[WANNABE@WDW]

It is funny... more and more of my friends are now "converts". I have been a "Disney Nut" since childhood, so my family is used to my "addiction". My friends are finally realizing how wonderful a trip to the House of Mouse can be. WDW may not be a cheap vacation, but it is worth every penny! I know that we will always have an awsome trip. I can't always say that about our other vacations to the beach or the mountains. The magic of Disney always comes through!

[4EverFigment]

We're staying offsite (it really works better for us these days) and having experienced two holidays last year with WDW, we're spending turkey day offsite too...planning to go minigolfing :) Although if the parks aren't insane we might go ahead in for a while. But this is also our third "big" trip in one year and we're planning on really taking in the ambiance, seeing decorations, making the most of the time without rushing to the lines.

peace
figgy

edit: We also have already started to pack...and make MORE matching T-shirts....

[disneygirl29]

We will be there 11/22-11-29 staying at POFQ (originally at Swan, but opted for meal plan at last minute and changed to FQ (only thing left with discount code)). We are eating at The Coral Reef :thumbsup2 at Epcot! Again much was booked up ;) ... I am booking my 2007 trip as soon as we get back, based on how we like th FQ... and also have calender marked for booking dining reservations for next year (180 days out) :wizard: !

I am still moving some dining reservations around... trying to get better times.. but it is hard with 9 people ;) !

:hourglass

Wannabe@disney

I so agree -- my non-Disney friends just don't get it -- they can't figure out why we keep going back -- and talking about it all year -- they just don't understand!

I get the same thing at work, however there are 3 Disney Nuts there so we are always talking about it and I just try to ignore the non-Disney people who always seem to have a comment, funny I don't ever comment on their choice of vacation spots

[rie'smom]

11/19-11/25 and we're staying at the Dolphin. I can't wait!!!!!!!!

[HLDisney]

Well, actually, our reservation is from the 22nd to the 29th but our plane won't be arriving at MCO until after midnight :sad2: We had planned to arrive earlier in the evening but the airline delayed the time of our flight. We'll be having our Thanksgiving dinner at Boma on the 23rd.

This will be my first WDW trip with my DD4 3/4 (the 3/4 is very important to her ;) ) and we're going with good friends of ours (another single mom and her DD5). I've been to WDW several times in the past but my DD and our friends have never gone before....and this will be my first time staying on-site and celebrating a holiday at WDW so I'm really excited and looking forward to the trip. :yay:

Just curious....does anyone know of any Thankgiving-themed Disney clip art online? I'm thinking of putting a Happy Thanksgiving sign on our door and would really like to have some Disney characters on the sign but I haven't found any Disney Thanksgiving-themed clip art to use yet.

[ILVPoppins]

Do you decorate your doors and windows for the holidays?

[kinggoofy]

We will be at POR. Check in Monday Nov 20 to Nov 26th.
Our Thanksgiving dinner will be celebrated on Wednesday night at LTT.

On Thanksgiving, we plan on spending the day at MGM, watch the parade, then head over to Boardwalk and catch the 2nd football game that day which is Tampa vs Dallas.

After that we plan to head back to POR and enjoy Piano Man Bob for the evening. This will be our 4th Thanksgiving night with Bob. He starts his XMAS music this night and its a blast. :Pinkbounc

[DisneyGerry]

Like last year we check out Thanksgiving day and have a flight out in late afternoon. Little cheaper and lot easier to get a flight. Plus I recall last year maybe plane half way filled up. great time of year plus many places have Christmas decoration up

Ah! Another CBR Diser! I will be keeping an eye our for you! :cool1:

[cjsmom5]

Disneygirl29 -- we will be at POFQ Nov 23-26 moving over to YC on the 26th through Dec 3rd. Perhaps we will run into you? We arrive 3:30pm on Thanksgiving Day and then are hopping over to YC Galley for thanksgiving dinner as Florida is 2 hours ahead of us ... so timing is perfect.

We have stayed at POFQ at least once a year since it opened. We really like it. I used to say I would never move. Alas, in my older age, I am enjoying the queen beds at some of the deluxe hotels and a few of the 'extras' they have to offer such as concierge ..... not that my pocketbook has grown with my desire for bigger, etc. Anyways, I'm sure you will like POFQ.

That is neat that these kids are dancing. Perhaps we will have to wonder over there...do you know what time?

We were there last year during Thanksgiving and the decorations were up. Have a walk to the MK for me. We loved the walk in the morning, practically had the walkway to ourselves and got to see bunnies. :cool1:

[bell.of.the.ball]

now its almost time

[Steven41782]

Thanks,
we saw a special on WDW at Christmas, so we will def try to squeeze in time to go see Wilderness Lodge and GF.

Oh yea,

Should we pack shorts and short sleeve shirts. I don't know what the weather is like in November. I'll just wear whatever my wife packs for me.

[cjsmom5]

Weather can be all over the board. We haver been there and worn shorts and short sleeve shirts during day and light pants/long sleeve in evening. We have also been there and had to put on our long underwear, gloves, hats and heavy jackets as the windchill dropped it down below freezing. Last year it was very pleasant and we didn't pull out anything heavier than a sweatshirt. Best thing to do is watch the weather as they give you a 10 days out forecast. That said, at WDW, when it gets really cold -- you can't even buy a pair of mittens as they fly off the shelves --- so we always bring our cold stuff with us and plan to dress in layers.

[m_kasch]

We will be there November 24th-26th at POR, then switching on the 26th - December 2nd at the BC, or maybe (crossing my fingers) if the good CM discount comes out, at the Grand Floridian -- it is almost here!! Can't Wait!! :cool1: :Pinkbounc :banana: :cheer2:

Going 11/16 to 11/23. Going to MVMCP on the 17th. Flying home to have turkey with Grandma on the 23rd. See you all there! princess:

Ditto!! Except we are going to miss Thanksgiving Dinner as our plane gets in to late- oh well !!!

[Steven41782]

Is anyone else decorating for Christmas before they leave?? Our house will be decorated inside and out by 11/19. Our neighbors will be like... it's not even Thanksgiving yet and they've got there Christmas stuff out!! DW wants our stuff up before we leave though. Anyone else decorating from Christmas b4 their trip?

Steven

[WANNABE@WDW]

I am also planning on having my trees up before Nov 16th. The operative word is "planning"! I hope I can get everything done, so that when we return on the 26th we can totally enjoy the Christmas season. I know when we return we will be completely filled with the Christmas spririt! I am so excited we will be at WDW in 15 days (not counting today)!!!!!!!!!

[cjsmom5]

If I can talk DH into getting down the Christmas decorations I will have the house decorated before we leave on the 23rd. Chances of that including the tree are slim to none but I am hoping that is all that is left when we return on Dec 3rd. So, I'm in on the decorating in November ...... providing my prince charming is willing ...

[Steven41782]

I am going to try to squeeze it in before we leave. :confused3 Of course I have to convince DH that it would be a great idea. I only have 3 more weekends to do it and two of those weekends are filled with soccer games. If we don't I am not sure I will have much time when we return.
