Lol that's me too so I booked my ADRs mostly for 10-10:30ish breakfast or early lunch. DH doesn't quite like breakfast as much as lunch. I just have one PPO for Crystal Palace, one early Chef Mickeys which I don't know if I will keep (too early) and one Cape May breakfast that's 8:45... Im thinking of feeding DS2 in the room first before we go. Other than that, I'm still trying to figure out how to make our days flow. My biggest problem is nap time.

you could always RD the frozen ride, then go back for breakfast at Cape May just make your reservation later. Lot of walking though.

I'm having a hard time thinking of schedule flow as well. The challenge will be to fit the FP+ around our ADRs. Luckily I have only one or two a day to fiddle around with.

Yes I think that's a basic problem everyone has with booking the dining 180 days and fastpass 60 days! It is a little crazy juggling all the schedules. Are you doing all the rides? Any one you are avoiding? My list is more of what we can do...

was just perusing the budget boards and saw that disneystore.com has this adorable play castle for free with $135 purchase!! people said they were able to buy gift cards to use for their trip ($150) and get the castle for free. SWEET! not sure if anyone here's little girls are into the princesses.

Lol, boy for me and it doesn't work for Canada unfortunately. Too bad.

so close! the dates are no longer greyed out but none of the meals have been loaded (that's what happened with me for Ohana until it popped up one day).

Whew I thought it just all went while I was at lunch! Lol!

no they don't go that fast. can you PM me if it goes live though and you see it? i don't get email notifications about posts, it would spam me, but i do get them about PMs. I wonder if i can set up an alert with touring plans

 

[Lisa F]

it's not on touring plans.

Sure. I don't get emails either but I check the notification on the boards regularly. I set up touring plans just for Hollywood and vine availability, I don't see anything for fantasmic in particular.

We're just going to make lists I think for the parks: Must do, would love to do, neutral, don't care/don't want to do. And then piece it all around there based on ADRs and activities.

 

[Lisa F]

it is a tease when it takes a bit longer and you think it is really searching and then it comes back with nothing.

Welcome!!

 

[Lisa F]

I'm going from 12/2 to 12/10 so definitely some overlap! we have people from late November too!

It seems more availability at H&V opened up for early December. I was able to move my 3:30 dinner to 5:40 on Dec 1. You might want to check if you've been wanting a dinner reservation.

 

[Candycane83]

I saw good reports on the Star wars fireworks. Hopefully they'll release the evening schedule now for DHS!! I'm so impatient! Hehe!
