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

[Talby]

you were one lucky duck. I so would not plan it that way, lol! But I am glad you had some disney magic!

Oh my gosh...I KNOW!! haha I feel even more grateful for that spot at this point, knowing now what I did not know then!

 

[Candycane83]

FINALLY!

LOL, now I just have to tell my mom who won't be happy since we're not visiting her instead...

 

[Candycane83]

Anyone looking for CRT on Dec 10? I don't have the spreadsheet handy!! There's someone who just posted on the cancellation board, she is cancelling for 4 on Dec 10, 7:30 i think

 

[Tinker06]

I know this is 1st week, but I know some of you are taking longer trips going into mid December. We have family joining us now and a LOT of my ADRs are not going to work. I have a TON to drop and thought I would post them here just in case anyone sees something they want. If anyone happens to see a PPO BOG for 4 or 6 for 12/15 though, I would really appreciate it.

I am dropping the following:

Anyone looking for CRT on Dec 10? I don't have the spreadsheet handy!! There's someone who just posted on the cancellation board, she is cancelling for 4 on Dec 10, 7:30 i think

She is dropping a boatload of ADRs from the 10th through the 17th! Won't help me, but just an FYI!

Edit: Saw she just posted above!

 

[Talby]

@Tinker06 Wow! Thanks for sharing that list...it's so pretty! lol

I might have cried a little letting it go. hahaha I still have really good ADRs though and only really need one more to complete my list.

We have booked our fastpasses for our October trip and I could not get a fp for FEA any earlier than 7:30pm on our arrival day, 4;30 on our day 2 and finally, on day four, I was able to get a fp for FEA at 1:15pm.

When we were there in June Buzz Lightyear was sold out of fastpasses. Can you believe it? I couldn't. I've never seen Buzz sold out like that before.

I'm actually shocked you were able to get a FP for FEA on your arrival day! That gives me hope! I was thinking we'd be lucky to get one on day 3 of our trip.

Curiosity is getting the better of me...may I ask which one you're looking for? And I completely understand the tears...that's a fantastic looking list.

I am hoping to get a PPO BOG on 12/15 (for 4). It isn't the end of the world if I don't, but we would sure love it. We have an 8 AM BBB on 12/11, so we will at least get in early one day!!

omg do not cancel the wrong ones!!!!!!!!!!! I'd be so afraid I'd do that (classic Lisa)

 

[Talby]

I really wish there was a fp for joy sadness and baymax. I know this sounds horrible, but the only ride I think I'm really interested in at Epcot is fea

I would LOVE it if there was FP for Joy and Sadness! They are a must for us too. And Talking Mickey. The Beast we'll see at BOG hopefully and Peter Pan at Pirates and Pals and maybe in Fantasyland? FAB 5 and Pooh and friends are covered with ADRs. I need to fine-tune our character list, but I think that covers the biggies for us as we don't have any huge princess fans in our family. Oh--and Donald Duck in Mexico! We LOVE him!

For any Beast fans, I understand that OCCASIONALLY one can meet the Beast after the Beauty and the Beast show in HS. **EXCEPTIONALLY** rare, but one never knows when Disney magic will strike!

ok...I was wondering....what you would choose...considering:
I used to go to wdw all of the time as a kid living in FL. It's been 20 years or so since i've been to wdw, so I'm considering myself a total newb....
My girls are 4 and 6...
we can MAYBE do ONE late night during our stay..I'm thinking our very last night.
WWYD, not taking into account $$$

A) MVMCP (keeping in mind I'm one of those people that would be paranoid all day about seeking out prime parade viewing and would not have dessert party tickets)
B) continue the search for an evening of Minnie's Holiday Dine and Fantasmic show.

Just figured I'd ask...being our first time at wdw..and with 2 little girls...which would be the preferred choice for your family?

This may be an obvious choice, but I didn't really know anything about these prior to this thread. So, just reading all of the great things about both, I'm not sure which is the better choice for first time visitors

haha we have been a few times, and to be completely honest have better luck getting ADRs the day or two before rather than the 180 mark. I, however, am a MEGA planner and must have every minute mapped out. That being said my line up is still good.

12/10 - BOG Dinner
12/11 - Akershus Dinner
12/12 - Garden Grill Dinner
12/13 - MVMCP and just going to do QS
12/14 - CRT
12/15 - Ohana
12/16 - 1900 Park Fare Dinner
12/17 - 1900 Park Fare Breakfast

My brother initially decided to join so that threw a wrench in plans. Then my mother in law decided she wanted to come so that was a double whammy. I really wanted a CRT the same day at BBB, but I think it will work out well this way.

In the past we have gotten Akershus, BOG dinner, BOG lunch PPO Tusker House and 8AM PPO BOG the day before.

haha I agree. I canceled a few Kona's and Biergarten's awhile ago....and I swear I was so nervous...I must have double checked 5 times to be sure I was reading "Kona" and not "Fairytale Dining Dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table"

With your kids, I would probably stick with F! Just my opinion... MVMCP is expensive to have them duck out at 8pm... ? I know you mentioned they sleep by 7:30.

I'm about 10 pages behind. Not sure if this has been discussed. I saw today that Splash Mountain will be down for a 1 day refurb on December 7th.

Same here. I would love an FP for that! But my morning EPCOT plan on Dec 7 is PPO at Akershus, FEA if possible, go to Joy and Sadness/ Baymax, then regular touring... so I have my fingers crossed that would work. Donald in Mexico needs to be added to my list!!!
