Calling @Mintycake and @pigletgirl sorry I'm remembering names one by one... oh yes and @tacboze too!

 

[Candycane83]

And @rasadkowski is stalking me, who is stalking @Candycane83 ....it's a vicious cycle, really!

I'm stalking all of you! There's a reason I didn't ask for your dates!

 

[Candycane83]

Yes.... We need spots for @Iowamomof4 , @Mintycake for the dessert party. I think @Talby was also planning on the party (hope she got tickets)... I think i saw some else that was also considering 12/3.

I still can't believe that it sold out so quickly!!! When I saw the frenzy I messaged my TA to book. I was at work and would not have been able to hold on the phone for so long. She got right on the case for me and 2 other clients that are going during the same time periods but for different dates.

I think @Talby was letting go for SW but not sure for this... @Iowamomof4 decided against it I think... will keep stalking for those who still want it. Crazy how fast these went! I think @Mintycake was thinking about it but it was sold out by the time she decided... I'm sure there will be cancellations after the first reviews...

what did you get that you had to drop it? breakfast or dinner?

 

[Candycane83]

Anyone else making a shopping list of things to buy before their trip? I have a loooong list now for my dollar store/ drugstore run. Lol! I'm thinking of buying stroller lights? (I.e. battery operated xmas lights to put on stroller?) Not sure if it was here but someone else on these boards mentioned it and I thought it was a cool idea

 

[areno79]

@Lisa F it was a dinner---the Ohana was a 4:05 pm. I just have to brag on our awesome friend @SilSprBea who YET AGAIN got me the H&V ADR I wanted!! I originally had a 3:40 (which she helped me get!!) but I wanted something closer to a 5:00. I booked a 5:30 last night, then today she told me she found a 5:05 for me!! It's not a Fantasmic, but that's fine because I can use a FP on it.
She is my ADR Fairy Godmother!!!

I call it Jibjab every time I talk to DH about it! He thinks I'm losing my mind!!

Ooh, I just started one last night!! I am assembling my to-do list as well.
I crossed one big thing off my list and paid a huge portion of my balance off with my TA today. I'll call tomorrow or Wednesday and pay the rest off.

Also, DH found out he has to go back to Denmark for work sometime in November. I'm hoping early November, but as long as it's not near Thanksgiving I won't panic. I realized today that I only have 6 weekends left before our trip!!

Yes!! I have a long list.... Disposal Tupperware is at the top of the list!

This is amazing!!! I'm so thankful I found this thread!

Haha, need to keep myself busy so I don't go into ADR searching withdrawal. I've been looking for stuff on 12/6 for you @Candycane83 and @BDFmom but no Chef Mickey or BOGs yet!

Wait...I just saw an 8:20 pm Chef Mickey's on 12/6 if anyone is looking!!

No dessert parties for us this time, but we have MVMCP on 12/6 and unless I change my mind again, 5:00 CP on 12/7.

Our other extras are a sleigh ride at Fort Wilderness on 12/4 and the Marceline to Magic Kingdom Tour on 12/10.

@Candycane83

Bahahahahaha, we won't be able to go incognito much. It isn't hard to spot us!
We're pretty much the Clampetts.

@SilSprBea

I know we booked the jibjab dessert party, however when the reviews come rolling in, and they're meh, I won't hesitate to cancel. In all honestly, our girls are probably too young for it anyway. It's a pricey little booger too.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I'm saving POTC for SDFP.....hopefully.

We have a PPO at Crystal Palace and were thinking of heading to Adventureland then Frontierland after that because we stacked our FP up in Fantasyland for early afternoon. I'm thinking (hoping) that when I walk out of Crystal Palace with a bulging belly and a toothpick in my mouth, I will glance over to my right and see a wall of rope-droppers heading to Fantasyland. Leaving Adventureland ripe for the pickens!!!!

We always head to Adventureland first thing and POTC, Splash Mtn and BTMRR are walk ons. The crowd heads to Fantasyland first.

How was it? I think this is one of the things I am most looking forward at AK. seems so beautiful! A little sad that I only had one night to watch this.

The Awakening wasn't what I expected but I really liked it. They show it over and over again, so you have plenty of time to catch the Awakening. You have to watch it from the front of the tree. They have a big rectangle marked on the ground for people to stand it while they are watching the show.

We're such losers! No MVMCP, no EMM, no dessert parties :-(

We don't have any, either. We did MNSSHP earlier this month, so that was it for us. We had a great view of the MNSSHP parade. We stood right next to the viewing area that the dessert party had, and got the same view as they had. We just didn't get any desserts.

Thank you both! I found my BOG in separate reservations for 12/6 but shouldn't matter since it's QS PPO. I'm good with what I have (I think). you guys are really the best!

Awesome! Thanks! I was hoping to catch it on the way out and was hoping it's a short show so DH and DS do not get impatient

Can I ask how long did you stake out the parade viewing for mnsshp? I'm really on the fence about this dessert party because of the wishes viewing but thought the parade viewing looked really good.
