You guys are killing me! I need to move to Orlando!

YAY so glad you got it. Our plane leaves at 12:25 so we will be ships passing in the night. Very sweet offer but totally unnecessary for such a small thing!

So is everyone good now except for RoL? I know a few people are still seeking some ADRs but no one is waiting for Disney to announce anything else, are they?

I still want jibjab for 12/3

I still want jibjab for 12/3

I have been checking for 12/3 availability in my normal ADR stalking. How many do you need it for?

So happy about this...we have two hours in DS before we take the ME to the airport, and I was afraid it would be anticlimactic, but this is perfect!!!

 

[Mrs. Inc]

Omg! This looks amazing!! I wish I had more days at Epcot! Like a full
Month

Maybe it's a good thing I'm newly gluten free, or I'd want to try EVERYTHING...

You're the best! for 3 ppl.

Oh I'm so excited about these new Christmas announcements! Anyone else notice it sounds like they'll make it snow on the Christmas Tree Trail??

And seriously, I'm almost kinda bummed I have the CP Dining Package on my Epcot day, because I could eat my entire day's worth of foods just snacking around the World Showcase! But it's worth it to get the seating for CP, since it's my first time ever seeing it.

They say all good things must come to an end. Well, ladies and gentleman, I am here to officially announce the close of a chapter of my Disney planning. Gone are the days of stalk-stalk-stalking, click-click-clicking, and hope-hope-hoping. Farewell to the missed TP alerts. No more pining over that ONE elusive ADR that makes the whole day fall into place.

I've been close many times between now and J-U-L-Y! But not with Fantasmic! and not the time I really wanted. I finally got the Hollywood & Vine Dinner *WITH* Fantasmic! that I've been chasing down all this time. Whew!

THE END!! I'M DONE, I'M DONE, I'M DONE!!

Mr. Rogers comes to mind... "It's such a good... feeling... to know you're alive...."

Congratulations for scoring that last, elusive ADR!

Ok I'll note that. I probably won't be able to book it because I already have it booked for 2. So I'll PM you or post on here to see if someone else can snag it up if I see it.

This looks so amazing. Now I wish I had time in my schedule for DS! I suppose I could go in the morning of 12/7 before we hit MK but is that too much running around?

I am still looking for BOG lunch for 6 on 12/4. I have searched hundreds of times, looked on the cancel thread and signed up for touring plans. I don't think it will ever come up!!! Regardless, it will be a fun trip!!!

Thanks!! Haha--that song will be stuck in my head! It's quite ridiculous, really. I mean, it's a 20 minute difference, and I could have FP'd F!. But I know I'm in good company here with wanting things "just right".

Is it weird that I almost can't bring myself to stop planning? Like it's all there, even a little more than there since I haven't decided yet between my BoG lunch or dinner, but even so, I feel a little like an addict. What happens when I am done? Will my head explode???

Don't give up @Themadhatter21! Looks like you're doing all the right things! I think lots of people will be fine-tuning their plans, and I hear it's a good idea to check all the way up to the day before since people cancel to avoid the fees! Sending pixie dust wishes your way!

I hear ya, sister! My DH and I will celebrate our 30th in December. I do 90% of the vacation planning, and it does get old at times. Mine doesn't want to talk about it at all when we are in the planning stage, but then wants to rework all the plans when we are on vacation. Had a big agrumement once at Disney for New Years 2000.. I finally put my foot down and said if he doesn't want to be involved in the planning, he doesn't get to change my plans on the trip!

But, bottom line is he's terrible at long range planning, and I love vacations! So he's lightened up on trips, and I continue to plan all the fun trips I want! this trip and the last one I took alone with DD, and I think he's feeling left out...he's agreed to Disney in fall 2018! I win!

We've got ya...and take a break when you need one...but maybe after you book your fast Passes!

Congrats on your 30th! DH and I will be celebrating our 25th. Glad to know I'm not the only ahem "older" person on this thread (not really that old I do 95% of our vacation planning, but love it. I haven't felt "planned out" yet as I've had to take so many breaks from planning due to issues with my almost 90 y/o mother. Flew out to California with her on Wednesday, dropped her off with my brother and now I'm in the bay area enjoying my 2 1/2 y/o twin grandsons for a few days

@Talby that is so awesome! Congrats!

Don't give up! I just snagged a 12/10 BoG lunch from the cancellations thread the other day. I believe the pixie dust will come through for you!

Thank you! I am so tired of checking!!! Everytime I see a cancellation it is never for my date!! Hoping something comes up!

I just checked and mine is still on, so I think you'll be good. Lol...but I know what you mean. It's like....Hmmm, now what? I'm going to help with a couple things I know people are searching for here. That ought to scratch that Disney planning addiction itch!

That's awesome you just got one! There haven't been any for
My date. Everything seems to be a few days before or after.
