OK, so DW is on the phone with WDW as we speak. She's adding a night at Coronado Springs, and we're going to surprise DD by going to MK on oct. 30th.

Are any of you planning to do the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot before or after the cruise? What are you looking forward to?

Anyone care to share their ADRs (Advance Dining Reservations)?

Can you tell I'm hungry??? This dieting is making me hungry!!!!

We have a ressie at California Grill Wednesday night (the 20th) and one at La Hacienda del San Angel on the 21st. We hope to watch Hallowishes from the Cali Grill terrace and Illuminations from the new restaurant in Mexico!

Anyone else????

We have reservations at Crystal Palace on the 21st and reservations at Teppan Edo on the 22nd. And we have a character breakfast on the 23rd at Cape May Cafe. I still haven't bought our tickets to the MNSSHP yet !!!

We have reservations at Le Cellier on the 21st and Disney's 3D event at EPCOT that nite. On the 22nd we have reservations at Tony's for lunch and MNSSHP that nite. When we get back I know we have reservations at 50's Prime time and will be trying out that new resturant in Mexico at EPCOT, but not sure on the dates. We don't head home after the cruise until Nov. 2nd. So I am sure I am going to gain 30lbs, but that is what vacations are for, LOL.

Is anyone planning to rebook onboard? We would like to since we made the mistake of not doing it last cruise. But how do you know what to book? Our kids are still in college/high school so the scheduling becomes really hard. To those with younger kids, take them out of school now for vacations because it's almost impossible to do it in high school!

We booked this cruise while on our last Disney cruise 2 yrs ago. You can book any cruise while on the ship, but change the week you travel when you firm up your dates. They are very good about that.

We're certainly newcomers to the thread, but still hoping our info gets added to the list on the first page anyway - looking forward to the trip!

Welcome!!! Glad you found us.

We are going to be at Ohana on the 22nd. We will then catch Wishes from the poly beach. On the 23rd we have ressies for Cape May Cafe at 9am for breakfast.

sure wish they'd adopt photopass for the cruise

Isn't that the truth!! It's 4x as much and you don't even get any of the cute borders and other extras.

That being said, I'm expecting to be a sucker and buy the cruise disc anyway.

We didn't rebook on board, but we made it within the 3 day grace period (not sure if that applies to everyone or just DVC). We had to do something to pick up ours spirits!

This time we are definitely rebooking! Let's see how long I wait. Our kids are still young, so I don't have any problems yanking them out of school for an awesome family vacay.

We're arriving on the 20th and staying at Kidani Village. We are planning a trip to EPCOT for the F&W Fest. We want to see which day looks better as far as the weather forcast goes before we committ to Thursday or Friday. As a result, the only ADR we have right now is the breakfast buffet at 9:00 AM at Boma for the 21st. I'm assuming even at this point that we're getting a little to close for an ADR once we decide which day we're going to EPCOT. I'm just wishing for a little pixy dust once we finally make up our mind.

 

[CADZNYCHC]

NO ADR's booked...and some of my plans for the 20th & 21st "may" be changing as the friends i'm to meeting there just found out that their daughter (she works for Disney Studios in Burbank) may have cancer....she recently had a tumor removed and upon biopsy of the tumor Stanford found cancerous cells....
they return to Stanford tomorrow for the 'next steps' - I am hoping and praying that when they removed the tumor they also removed ALL cancer cells. Won't know until thurs if they are going to cancel their trip or not...

The majority of our group are all going to Epcot Friday and we will just eat-drink whatever/wherever at wine fest.

Hi, Everyone. I will sending out the Final FE list within the hour. I was hoping to hear from a couple of folks before removing them from the list. But since I haven't I will be "deleting" them.

Also, I haven't heard anything from recent newcomers, so there will only be three groups.

So, be on the lookout.

18 more days!!!

Must be nice! TX is so crazy about kids missing school. Usually don't make too much fuss in grades k-4 but after that it is a problem. I am actually pretty stressed about it as my son is in 5th grade. I believe this will be the last time we pull him out as long as we are in TX. The only excused absence is to observe a holy day, illness verified by doctor note or death in the immediate family. Otherwise you could face the judge
"A court of law may also impose penalties against both the student and his or her parents if a school-aged student is deliberately not attending school. A complaint against the parent may be filed in court if the student:

• Is absent from school on ten or more days or parts of days within a six-month period in the same school year or

• Is absent on three or more days or parts of days within a four-week period. "

So crazy!!! Can I argue the Mouse is my Idol God and this is our holy day?

OMG!!!!! PUHLEEEEZE!!! That is just a bit over the top - even for Texas - i personally believe there is great merit in what children learn in their travels as well as their school days~
