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

[Lisa F]

so how is everyone who is making FP+ doing today? Can't wait to hear!

That was so stressful! So I got up at 5:50am (Central) so that I could have the site pulled up and ready to go by 6, and then 6 came and went, and the website started getting screwy on the computer, and I couldn't get MDE to log in on my phone, kept getting error messages! And to be frank, I am not a morning person, so much profanity was loosed upon my roommate's ears.

Anyway, finally about 10 minutes after 6, everything started working. I got everything I wanted within about 5-10 minutes, except Frozen, which is about an hour after I wanted it. I'm totally okay with that though, because my first selection was actually 2 hours after I wanted, but when I went back in to modify (Thanks for the tip, y'all!) I got it back to an hour later than my original plan. Still requires some adjustment, but not too much!

Whew, now that that's over, maybe I can simmer down!

try to modify again later in the day. you never know what will crop up! especially as others move stuff around. i have been tweaking myself (not frozen though!)

am I crazy to love it so much more in the can than the bottle? I don't know why. But I do. I can't get it in the can on island only bottle.

I've never seen it in a can! I must find it!!

Well I got 7DMT & BTMR, but I lost out on Tales w/Belle because I had to split the party up so I could do Space Mountain w/my 6yo. My wife & 3yo will be doing Pooh instead unless it opens up later, or they could maybe do it during MVMCP. I also skipped Luke's Diner this AM, line was too long at 6am.

is this all/only for your pre-MVMCP day? not sure if tales with belle is offered during the party (guessing it is not) so if that is a priority maybe do space mountain during the party and tales with belle before?

 

[JainaAlice]

Mine went ok. I got Frozen for Wednesday evening and 7DMT for Thursday like I wanted. But my girls wanted to do those twice and I didn't get them for Sunday/Monday like I'd hoped. There's still time and I'm an obsessive checker. Haha!
I grabbed a few more but had to get kids to school, so I don't have everything booked.
I hope everyone else is getting what they're looking for!

Sorry for the bumpy start @Mal6586. The things we do in the name of Disney planning, right?!?! Glad things went (mostly) your way after that! CONGRATULATIONS!!

definitely keep checking. the sunday/monday time frame is still close to free dining so people may be dropping ADRs, picking up ADRs and moving FP+ around for a bit.. you could also RD both on those days. Or have you considered EMM for MK on Sunday?

ETWB actually is running during the party, according to a list I just checked. I know doing it during the party has been one of my plans as well.

Haha! All's well that ends well!

Roomie got so tickled at me this morning. She said, "Glad to know your hatred for the morning trumps even Disney excitement!"

Yeah, it's our only day at WDW, Space Mountain & Pooh FP are first, so if our Chef Mickey's 2pm ADR runs late we won't be too bummed to miss those. I grabbed a 5:45 7DMT FP+ hoping we can line up for the 7D M&G as soon as we get off. After the 7D M&G we'll check out Tales w/Belle I think.

Well here's my report. My Epcot day on my DD's bday looks great with FEA where I wanted it. Couldn't get 7DMT on day 1 but did two other times. Have an issue though with my friend who is linked to us for our last two days. Couldn't add her to our fastpasses. Got an error saying her fast pass day wasn't yet. Ugh. Will have to call Disney but can't right now because headed to work.

On the train now. What a stressful and frazzled morning. Trying to do fastpasses, celebrating my DS this am (he turns 3 today!), getting the kids ready to school and us off to work. I forgot my work bag and laptop when I was at the train and had to run back home and get it. I'm so late to work this am and still need to find time to call Disney this am and straighten out the fastpass situation. I was assured my friend and I were properly linked and I could book our entire party together. Not worried about our AK day together but on our last day together we are MK and we have belle, 7DMT and Peter Pan all before noon. Ugh. If I wait until 10/8 (her window) there won't be room at those times.

At least my Epcot day is good, LOL!

 

[Candycane83]

Glad you guys got most of what you wanted! As @Lisa F said, keep checking it's like ADRs this week, seems like a lot of stuff have been dropped!

When it rains, it pours, doesn't it?! Super glad your DD's birthday day is set, and Happy 3rd Birthday to your DS!! Hopeful that the rest will all work its way into place very soon!!


Congrats on everyone's successes this morning, and here's to getting it just how you want it between now and your trip!!

@SilSprBea I'm sorry this morning didn't turn out as well as you'd wished and hope it gets resolved. Happy Birthday to your cutie pie!

Sorry your having a frazzled morning. Like others have said keep checking and a 'perfect' time will show up.


to you DS! Three is an awesome age.
