    2019 Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Thread. Now with extra BAM!

    We did this dessert party on Thanksgiving night. I guess the people around us had dinner first or something because it felt like we were the only ones getting up so much to get food and drinks. It WAS our Thanksgiving feast! My kids' eyes were definitely bigger than their stomachs - my 6 year...

    Staying at PBH during renovations...

    We stayed at PBH Nov 21-25 and did not notice anything. We were in the East Wing.

    Ride shares and Amazon are game-changers ;)

    We stayed at the Hilton Buena Vista Palace this past week and used the bus only once. We used Uber the rest of the time, and it was a big time-saver. I thought about getting grocery delivery, but didn't research much before our trip. We stayed at Universal for the first part of the trip, and...

    Benefits of Touring Plans?

    Oh, one more benefit of TouringPlans I forgot to mention - they have a dining reservation finder that allows you to put in the restaurant, date and timeframe you want, and it checks for reservations for you and texts you when one opens up. This is how we snagged reservations to Oga’s Cantina and...

    Signature Celebration Package at Cinderella’s Royal Table

    We did make our FP but I felt a little rushed at the dessert party. I could’ve stayed another 10 minutes. Also, now that I think about it, the bathroom actually had 3 stalls, but one was out of toilet paper. Seems like something that shouldn’t happen at Cinderella’s Castle 😆.

    Signature Celebration Package at Cinderella’s Royal Table

    We did this on Monday. We enjoyed it but did feel like it is expensive for what it is. We showed up at our reservation time, waited in line for a photo with Cinderella and Prince Charming, and then had to wait another 15 minutes or so before we got seated, which was a bit annoying. Dinner was...

    Benefits of Touring Plans?

    We just returned from 5 days at the parks, during Thanksgiving week, so very busy. I really enjoyed building itineraries with TouringPlans as part of my planning, but to be honest, we didn’t follow them that closely. We mainly used our FP’s and the MDE app’s wait times dictate our days. We ended...

    Signature Celebration Package at Cinderella’s Royal Table

    Thanks for the review! It’s been hard to find opinions on this. I have this booked for my family the Monday before Thanksgiving. How long were you at the after-fireworks dessert party? We have an FP for Seven Dwarves for 10-11pm so wondering if we can squeeze it all in.

    What do they scan for FPs, EMH, etc.?

    Got it. Thank you everyone for the helpful information!

    What do they scan for FPs, EMH, etc.?

    Ok, so that one set of tickets would have all of our FPs for all days, dining reservations, and EMH eligibility?

    What do they scan for FPs, EMH, etc.?

    Ok, so it sounds like having my plastic tickets linked to MDE will allow us to NOT have to keep track of which tickets we've already used, and have to bring 4 unused ones each day? Maybe? Sounds like shelling out for Magic Bands may be worth it???

    What do they scan for FPs, EMH, etc.?

    We are 11 days away from leaving for Orlando and I just realized I’m not sure how this works exactly :oops:. We have 20 park hopper physical tickets that we won at a silent auction and I have linked them to my MDE and assigned to my family members. We’re a family of four so this will get us 5...

    Disney Springs Hotels Bus Information

    Has anyone stayed at the Hilton Buena Vista Palace and walked over to Saratoga Springs to take the Disney bus? Do you just cross Buena Vista Drive? Wondering if it’s an easy walk. It seems like this is a preferred option over the non-Disney bus especially for Magic Kingdom since it drops you off...

    MK "Happily Ever After" Dessert Party (Parties) Discussion

    On the Monday before Thanksgiving, we have a reservation for the Signature Celebration at Cinderella's Table, which includes a dessert party after HEA that I'm guessing is the same as the regular post-Fireworks Dessert Party. How long do people usually stay at the dessert party? We're a family...

    Signature Celebration Package at Cinderella’s Royal Table

    We have this booked for the Monday before Thanksgiving. We just snagged FPs for 7 dwarves at 10-11pm. My question is, how long does the dessert party last? Would we have time after the fireworks show to go ride 7 dwarves and then go to the dessert party?

    **November 2019***

    T minus 8 days till our FP day. Getting nervous! Sorry if this has been answered previously, but is it possible to log into the same MDE account at the same time on two different devices and book FPs at the same time? Trying to convince my husband to wake up early with me :).

    **November 2019***

    Mine doesn't say that. I wonder if it's because my tickets were not booked with my hotel?

    **November 2019***

    Where is it listed on my MDE? I got my tickets separately from my hotel reservation. I have everything linked into MDE though. We are staying at one of the Disney Springs hotels (the Hilton Buena Vista Palace).

    **November 2019***

    We are headed to WDW starting Monday, November 25th (staying at Universal for a few days beforehand). Can someone check my math for the 60 day FP reservations? Can I start booking on September 26th?
