I don't think they sell out super fast and I think they typically come out second week of July... July 8th last year? so you should be good. I'm sure some restaurants are more popular than others and would sell out faster. which restaurant were you wanting?
That makes sense, but since it's our last day before an early departure, we won't be staying late at the park anyway. We are doing 2 full days at Epcot and that will be day 2. Does anyone know if Joy and Sadness meet during EMH? Otherwise I think we might just do TT and Soarin during EMH and then come back to meet Joy and Sadness. Just worried about the line!
I am actually a castaway club gold member but all of my cruises were 2005 and before. I haven't cruised in 11 years! That's what happens when you have a child and then get a divorce I guess. I have never been on any of the newer ships (I keep wanting to call them boats, I live on an island and we live and die by the ferry and we always refer to that as a "boat" so it is hard shift for me to make).
The NY itinerary is appealing to me because it is mostly sea days and that is what i like about a cruise. Not sure I am so into all of the shore excursions with my kiddo. I have a hold on the 8 day cruise that includes the day at WDW (included in cost), CC and nassau. having been to the other caribbean locations they do not really interest me all that much as far as going with my kiddo. Europe is a different story but a $13k cruise is completely out of reach for me. I'm not sure I can swing this one and it is $3,600! (I definitely can but have been doing expensive disney trips every 2 years, not eveyr year)
But I think the options i'd look at would be a few days at WDW and then a few days on a cruise (so a 3 or 4 day) but the 8 day out of NY seems like a good alternative to that. only one day at disney instead of 3 but it really would be a more cruise focused vacation, which would be nice for a change. Whenever I cruised before my favorite days were the sea days, just so relaxing. But I don't need a $650 bill right now
I didn't plan on 2 cruises in 2017- Iceland was the main focus of that year, so trying to "find" money to help with the justification.
It's so funny you say this because our family LOVES cruising! My husband is actually a cruise consultant on the side. Although we've never done a Disney Cruise as they're really expensive, and we like the travel agent perks we get on other lines. WDW will be our first land vaction together (not counting little city breaks that are close to home like Montreal and Quebec). We love the kids club for DD (she doesn't want to leave!) and we love just lounging by the pool with a drink and relaxing in the sun with no pressure. We love the easy sea days with no rush to see or do anything. WDW is super stressful trying to get it all in and to be honest it may be our only trip there because compared to cruising the pricing is so much more for us. Before I was married I travelled on land tours and also explored countries on my own but I find it so much easier and more relaxing to do multiple countries from a cruise ship. Unpack once and you're done! Travel while you dine and sleep! (I think the paying out of pocket for meals and sticker shock is the thing that we have to get used to the most at WDW!)
Ok so- I was in COMPLETE STICKER SHOCK last year when I booked our WDW trip for 2015. No joke- I went to Turkey for 28 days for LESS than what that WDW trip cost.lol. After that Disney has somehow skewed my perception of reality to thinking that DCL isn't actually "that bad" of a price- on certain itineraries anyway.
December park hours are not out yet. There is Dec. 1 and 2 out on Disney's website, everyone else is guessing off of last year's hours and also Novembers. It is not fun.
I am not even looking at last year's hours... I'll wait til Disney officially releases them. Too much has changed this year with park hours, I don't want to be stressed or disappointed if they are different!
Garden Grill is one of my favorites. We are doing GG by itself and Coral Reef for the CP package but it doesn't much matter on DxDDP because it uses 3 credits and I get exactly the same entitlements no matter what. though half wondering if i should do GG for the CP package because then my kiddo might be able to order adult appetizer and dessert at CR... hmmmmmmmmm.
Yes please share!
December 3rd and 5th have none.
That is what I am wishing for!
