***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

She says she's still working on it. Phone lines have been bad and cm's not much better. I ended up booking an EMM while I was waiting this afternoon (12/6). I'm still hoping something will open up for 11/29, but at least we have one booked.

Have you tried booking yourself? You might have more luck

Yeah, I probably should have tried that. I had a headache at the time and thought it would just be easiest to let her deal with it. Oh well, I've got one MVMCP and one EMM on the schedule with another MVMCP likely getting booked tonight. If we don't get to do this dessert party, it won't be the end of the world.

Think about it this way, if you don't score a reservation to the party, $69.00 will buy you some mighty fine desserts to eat while you watch JBJB at no extra charge to you!

Someone posted that this is the friendliest thread on the DisBoards, and I must agree!
My son (age 10) and I will also be at the party on 12/3.
If you haven't seen WDW in December with all the holiday decorations, be aware that you ARE going to want to see it all again. And again. This is my favorite time of year at WDW!!!

that is so awesome! finally a boy around my sons age! my kiddo will be exactly 8.5 that night, his birthday is 6/3!

Yep. So true. I follow quite a few threads on here but this is my "anchor" thread. It's the one that makes me visit the Dis daily to see what's new.

Really hectic day over here! Looking forward to catching up on the posts tonight but I did just get the email from my TA about the holiday show! It looks so awesome!!!! I am not going to hs this trip, but this looks like such a fun night. Star Wars is classic, and would be spectacular, but from the description this show just looks so much more FUNNN! Not sure about those characters though..... I thought when they said characters they'd maybe surprise guests that expected Star Wars with a holiday clad Han Solo, or Kylo ren.. .. Sorry, too soon?

Just in case the Disney music is getting boring, here's a new one that will be stuck in your head all day:

AAAAHH.....WHY?!?!?

After an 85 minute wait, the phone disconnected!

Do I dare try again? Perhaps, we should just bypass it, we have already some amazing opportunities (hello, V&A!)...

I may try this evening regarding the BBB. Ugh, its like a punch in the gut.

This stinks soooooo much!! That was such a long time to wait but I am so glad to hear you're booked and all set

 

[Iowamomof4]

12/3 was all booked up, had to pick an alternate date. 12/6 it is!

Oh well. It'll be a nice end to our trip.

Wow!!! I can't believe it sold out! Glad you got an alternative date. I'm sure your family is going to have a great trip!
It will be an awesome last night.

Glad you got the alternate date and it'll be a great way to end your trip! Can't believe it's sold out though! That's crazy!

[Candycane83]

@Iowamomof4 wow! That itinerary looks awesome and so action packed! Love it! I know there are still ifs and whens but I think it's all worth the wait and it's shaping up really nicely with all your hard work planning it all!

Got December 1st for this holiday BAM! thing. i didn't start work until 12 today, and only seen it posted at 1130. The first time i called through they told me no, they didn't have anything available for the 1st through the 7th.. which seemed crazy to me! so after reading the other board, i noticed people talking about specifically asking for the 5:45 show, so i did, after 10 minutes on hold at 10pm i got it for four people!
I need to add another park day, good thing they're only like 15$ a person to add on.

 

[Candycane83]

Random question: in the midst of all this hoopla on DHS fireworks, is there any news on ROL? I was really hoping that all the news would come out together (but of course Disney would want us to look forward to more planning gaps!)

 

[2009CAN]

Is this old news? I'm on my phone and it doesn't want to go back a few pages. Anyway, I was just able to change some of my FP to Fairytale Hall, and now we have passes to meet both Cindy/Elena and Rapunzel/tiana

It's new news that got buried by DHS fireworks
