Pls add me to the 15th
I've tried to join this thread twice, but I can't seem to get picked up! Anyone? Does my post smell bad?
Anyway, my family of 4 plus the two IL's will be going Nov. 24-Dec. 1st, staying at WL. Made reservations tonight, plane tickets were done a month ago on Jet Blue. Now to decide where to eat!
ok, here are my thoughts. Tomorrow is my ADR day, would appreciate any input.
Going to be down for my super quick birthday celebration, trying to fit a lot into a little time. Myself, DH, DS's 11 & 8...
Hoping for free dining, if so--we'd be getting 5 TS & 5 CS credits each,(arriving too late to use them arrival day so we'll be able to double up on some 2 TS meals, and spending one day at IOA helps too) If no free dining, I'll be canceling a bunch of ADR's, lol.
Sat night, flight is late...check in and hit the sack (probably at POR!!)
Sunday-MGM, using 2 Counter Service credits each person today (saving TS credit for tomorrow)...using counter service for lunch and dinner (probably at Backlot & ABC Commisary or Pizza Planet)....plan on being there for rope drop and staying till Fantasmic (getting a CS dinner to eat while waiting)
Monday--MK (easy WDW doesn't recommend MK today, but it's my birthday and I have to be at MK on my birthday!! )--CRT for lunch (using 2 credits each)--DS's will hate it but hey--it's my day!!, counter service for dinner while we wait on the evening parade
Tuesday--IOA for Harry Potter....plan on getting there at rope drop, leaving around 4 (DS's aren't into thrill rides/coasters AT ALL, we're really just there for Harry Potter, everything else is just gravy).....Dinner at Yatchsman around 6:00 (2 TS credits each)
Wednesday--AK--counter service lunch somewhere 1 credit each, dinner at Cape May (1 TS credit each)
Thursday--leave for airport by 9, breakfast using 1 CS credit each at resort
Any opinions/suggestions?? thanks

I booked my ADR's this morning
This is what I got:
Sat. 11/3 Arrival Day
I am going to book Mickey's Backyard BBQ but haven't done it yet.

Sat. 11/10: Tusker House Breakfast at 8:15am
Sun. 11/11: O'hana Breakfast at 9:20am (say good-bye to Mickey)
Hi all! I have been a long time lurker and this is my very first post! We are heading to the AKV - Kidani on Nov. 9 thru the 17. So excited. And thanks to all of you for the wealth of information.
Do you think since our 180 ADR date is Mother's Day my hubby should get up and make the reservations? Ha, ha. I'll do it and then sleep later! Have a great day!
Read this on the November DIS'ers FB page.....
Hi, I just wanted to come back to this "inside info" on Free dining for late fall announcement on May 20 or 21...
I've joined the facebook group, and just thought it would be good to point out that the person who stated this appears to be a TA with a Disney exclusive company. Not just a random kind of person. When you click on the person's name it takes you to their page where it talks about booking a trip with her.
To me, this takes it from mere speculation to FULL FLEDGED RUMOR.
I guess I know what I'll be doing on those dates...
And if it comes true...
And if it doesn't...
Thanks for letting us know about the Group!
That's what I'm hoping for!! If not, I've got a lot of ADR's to cancel
Boo, I just realized that my 180 days falls on Saturday the 19th, and I'll be travelling out of the country then! Hopefully I'll still be able to call or access the website en route. This is the first time I've tried to make my reservations so far out, and I wouldn't even be worried about it if I weren't hoping for free dining, plus it's a birthday trip and I want it to be very special. Can the experts please advise?
Is there an advantage to calling vs. website, or the other way around?
I've read about people getting up at 6AM Eastern to call, so I assume that's when they start taking the ressies by phone - does the website start accepting them at the same time?
Thanks so much!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am thinking about cancelling our trip this year. I've spent a year already trying to plan things, and I have our itinerary worked out. I can make ADRs in 1 week. I had planned on purchasing our MVMCP tickets yesterday, but something kept telling me not to.
Here's the deal... The trip is going to end up costing us around $4,000 (that includes everything from resort, tickets, meals, tips, souvenirs, gas, hotel stay, etc.). We are planning to buy or build a new house next spring, and if we don't take this trip, I can pay all that money to my credit cards and vehicle. By next spring, we could be debt free except for our current house. Going won't stop us from buying a new house, but I'm just not sure it's the responsible thing to do.
The kids don't know about the trip so they won't be disappointed. They know we are saving for the trip, but aren't expecting to go this year. What makes me really want to go is DD is growing up fast. She is quickly outgrowing princesses, and if we don't go this year, I don't she'll "believe" in all the magic by the time we do go. On the other hand, if we wait, DS will be definitely be tall enough to ride every ride by the time we go back. Also, if we wait, I can't go the week before Thanksgiving in 2013 because my boss is going then so I'd have to pick another week. But Fantasyland will be complete!!
Ughh... the decision is driving me crazy. I know the responsible thing to do, but the mommy/Disney side of me wants to go. /
WWYD?
