New Fantasy Land Opening - who is going? Update! - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

wahmtexas · 08-08-2012, 06:54 AM

yikes... we leave on Dec 5 but have not purchased plane tickets yet so I just looked at moving Nov 27-Dec 5 to Dec 4-11 and every resort was not showing open ressies just now I thought that was typically a slower week... guess not, what is PCC please I guess I missed that?
wondering if we will be able to dine at BOG prior to the 6th??? Might call now and try to add the 6th to our ressie

Metro West · 08-08-2012, 07:38 AM

I think I'll pass.

mnra · 08-08-2012, 08:55 AM

We arrive on dec 6 for the podcast cruise so we most likely won;t make it over their until the 7th but I can be convinced to take a real early flight on the 6th

Golf4food · 08-08-2012, 09:16 AM

We already had a trip planned arriving on Dec 9th through the 15th. Glad we'll get in after it is open but I sure wish it would open sooner and not inundate us with crowds. Worried a bit now that the MK will be packed that week when it otherwise would have been moderate crowds at worst.

When are the passholder preview dates?

PCC stands for podcast cruise. PCC 4.0 leaves on 12/8. I will be there on an early flight on 12/7. And I will hopefully be heading to MK first.

Some time in November. The info on the passholder section of DisneyWorld.com says:

Saw this announcement on the Facebook page and immediately tried online to book dinner at Be Our Guest for our trip at the end if January...but it wasn't even listed as a restaurant choice yet. Does anyone know if they're taking reservations over the phone? If not, has anyone heard when they'll be taking reservations?

Speaking of Be Our Guest Restaurant, who plans on making reservations when they become available in late August? When do you want to dine?

My family and I were driving up to MK on 12/6/12 and staying one night at the ft wilderness cabins. Now I'm afraid of the crowds and possibly the park reaching capacity before we get there. Would it make more sense to go Monday instead? We would get in early with the magic hour on Thursday and th e park closes early for the party. Do you think Monday 12/10-Tuesday 12/11 would be a better time to go?

Ugh.

ShesAPirate · 08-08-2012, 03:26 PM

Not until February 2013... but I'm glad almost everything will be opened by then. I don't need to be there the first day it's open - that's just going to be insanity

If Disney has a brain they are going to make a BIG deal out of the Grand Opening and it is going to be MOBBED. I can easily see MK closing to capacity, this is going to get alot of press, I would think about switching to 12/10. I think there will still be crowds even then, but not like 12/6.

Update in Post 1 - attendee list as of 8/26/12

TIGGERmetoo · 08-26-2012, 01:19 PM

We're gonna try and go on the 7th after our plane comes in. Hopefully the park won't be at capacity.

NancyIL · 08-26-2012, 01:59 PM

I plan to go to the Christmas party the night of Dec. 6th. I'm hoping the new Fantasyland will be open that night.

I was able to make a dinner reservation at Be Our Guest for Dec. 3rd, so it will obviously be open before the "grand" opening.
