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

[Candycane83]

It'll be our 3rd time in MK that day (12/4) so we'll probably just be looking at re-riding things we had missed up to that point and we would be hoping to hit the coasters, I'm sure. If we don't have a fastpass, we'll probably just have to give up 7dmt. UNLESS we use the PPO Crystal Palace I've been keeping in my back pocket just in case (shh... don't tell anyone).

I think that would work out great!

Is anyone else having trouble with this website today? Seems to lag on me the whole day...

No, but the Disney site isn't working for me right now.

 

[Candycane83]

Yes, I really only would like 2.. And that's for our am day !! I don't really want/ need any for our pm day aside from rol. This is really exciting !!

On our PM day, I'm booking safari hopefully from 5:30- 6:30pm (sunset safari) hopefully... Character post and leave the one spot open for ROL...

Yup that is the only one I'm worried about. I plan to ride it during EMH but not sure how long the line would be so I would still want to book the FP for my EMH day

I shifted my whole schedule around to take the pressure off getting the 9am FP+ because it's my first park day AND a saturday so people will definitely be having a head start on me on that. I kind of like it much better now too with that schedule to be honest. I was just stuck on it because of the advice to go earlier in the morning. But it will at least be coolish in December.

Yes!!!! The posts in this thread keep jumping out of order.

Ya'll are posting too fast!

@Iowamomof4 we love secrets!

What are your FP plans for that day now?

EMH - hitting up dinoland (at least dinosaur and primeval whirl, more than once each, hopefully triceratop spin is open too, @Wood Nymph will be verifying for me lol) and it's tough to be a bug maybe.
9-10am FP+ for Everest (switch to tough to be a bug if kiddo decides it's a no go last minute)
9:45 Tusker House breakfast
11:30-12pm Flights of wonder
12-1pm pm FP+ for Safari (aim to go as close to noon as possible)
Rafkiki's planet watch and/or it's tough to be a bug if we didn't fit it in before.
1:30-1:50FP+ for Festival of the Lion King
2:00-2:30 Festival of the Lion King
Majarajah Jungle trek (a half hour should be plenty for that since it is at your own pace)
3:00pm Y&Y "dinner"

the only other thing I MIGHT try to fit in if it is warm out is kali river rapids. I might try to snag a SDFP for festival of the lion king when I get there so I have the option to drop the FP+ one for a Kali River Rapids before Y&Y if I want to. This is probably my loosest and most flexible day.

Only thing i kind of half wish I could do is nemo but it is a long haul across the park and there are no early shows that won't interfere with breakfast so I doubt we will do that this time. which I am ok with.

Very streamlined! Nice! Works well... You only need to add when u get your snacks!

true, the child has been promised pulled pork cheese fries. I made some pulled pork in the crock pot and last week and I thought he was going to cry when I asked him if he wanted chicken or hot dogs for dinner last night and he asked for pulled pork and I told him it was all gone that's the one snack we HAVE to fit in lol. Not sure when or how but we have to!

maybe right after flights of wonder we will make the loop around discovery island, grab some cheese fries, see those animals, then hit rafiki's planet watch. i have nearly 2 hours between festival of the lion king fp+ return time if i return toward the end of it. that should be enough time?

thanks first week of december peeps!!!!

 

[pigletgirl]

you don't need the cards for anything if you had them linked to your main MDE account. keep them as a souvenir (or as a backup). you can access your admission and FP+ through the magicbands.

If they are NOT linked to your MDE account and you want to use them for SDFP that is different. do you?

Hey everyone, sorry to be a humongous pain, but I have a question about the mvmcp tickets so, I just got the hard tickets in the mail ( yippee!!!) but they say fast pass+ on them. I'm really confused. I thought I just booked 3 fp on my window day for the MK for the hours of (4-7) so what I do with these cards besides use them for entry ( in addition to the reservation on my mb) ?

Last year, on our party date for MNSSHP, the MB reader couldn't recognize the tickets for MNSSHP, so they were sending everyone to Guest Relations for a copy of their ticket to enter the park. Moral of the story, bring the back up hard tickets with you to the party!! (And any other hard ticket media you may have!)

Thanks for the thoughts for my grandma! (otherwise known at Nonna)

Anyway, she was moved to ICU today because of low blood pressure and an arrhythmia. She also has pneumonia from not swallowing correctly. She is just not well. The girls and I leave next Thursday to fly to AZ (booked the flight today) to be with my mom and Nonna.

The only good part out of this is that Mom and I will be able to book FP's together!

Ugh, this is tough.

 

[areno79]

@areno79 That's so nice of you, but that would take a good amount of rearranging. Like I said, it's not dire, but would be nice on the 5th. Thank you

Oh, I totally understand, I just remembered I had it but don't need it any longer. I'll keep an eye out for one on the 5th

The problem I have with AK is that it's SO big. It's hard to do things without backtracking or walking all over the park, especially since EMH has limited attractions. I think we're skipping Nemo this time too; only because it's totally out of the way for us unless we randomly decide to go to Dinoland.

I'm sorry. At least you and your Mom have each other, but it's an emotional and difficult situation for sure

The struggle is real!! I was supposed to prep my meals for this week and fold my laundry that's on the couch after I got out of work while DH was at his dart league. Instead I spent all night playing around on the Disboards with you guys, and my little dog Odie is curled up inside one of my clean t-shirts in the pile of laundry!
