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

[Lisa F]

Is anyone else having any issues with cancelled reservations showing up in your MDE? I dropped an H&V Fantasmic lunch last night and chose to keep a slightly earlier time. I received a cancellation notice for the one I dropped, but it's still there. I called Disney dining and the cast member said they see it as cancelled, but 24 hours later, it is still showing up on my MDE account and the accounts of linked people on the trip (DH, and my friend). It's really odd. I know I have the cancellation notice, and the cast member confirmed it is cancelled, but it does make me worried that I might somehow be charged a cancellation fee for this reservation. Just curious if I'm the only one with this issue.

yes, I made that 5:20 Sanaa the other day and tried to cancel it and it still showed up. I called today and she said "just refresh" and it will disappear but of course I cancelled it like 2 days ago. Tried to book something on top of it to cancel it but it didn't give me the option to cancel, just keep. so it's sitting there but the phone cm swore it was cancelled in their system.

@Talby oh yeah! Feels so good to fit the last piece into the puzzle!!


@Candycane83 I've been eyeing the polar bear! He is sooo cute. I wonder if he'll be wearing a holiday scarf while we are there.

Now I want to burst into song .... And teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. .....Mmmmm mmmm
Grow apple trees and honey bees.



@LisaF Score on the better time! 3 hours is a sweet spot! You've put together a fantastic extra day in less than 40 days out. That gets a banana man




@Iowamomof4 and @Mintycake and for anyone else that wanted that date ....still hoping that people cancel for the 12/3 JBJB party ...
I think the 1st of December thread has stalkers .... It was the first party night to sell out.

I love all the holidays previews....
I want to just each snacks for 10 days.

29 days for me.... I stop by dollar general on the way home and found some Minnie ears and a Mickey Santa hat!

Y'all inspired me!
Time to pull out the suitcases.

I've read about some people having the very same issue as well. I wouldn't stress over it too much. Just save the cancellation email in case a charge pops up. If your inbox is anything like mine it might get lost in the sea of daily emails. Just take a screen shot of the email as well for quick access.

The only thing that would bother me about this is if I was trying for another ADR at a similar time and the
non-cancelled ADR was preventing me from booking the new one.

bolded by me, it will do that... it doesn't matter to me because I want my 6:45 Sanaa and it's already booked, just want to cancel out the 5pm one.

Glad the 6:45 Sanaa worked for you. I think they have to be at least 90 minutes apart right? Did you try @Mal6586 's method for cancelling? Maybe that will work.

I've had that issue but only with H&V, Fantasmic and non-Fantasmic. The only way I could get the extra times off my MDE was to cancel them from the reservations and tickets tab. If I swapped times and canceled that way, they wouldn't go away. At one point I had accidentally managed to have like 4 overlapping H&V's.

here's what happens to me when I go to that page... it never loads the "cancel" link.

i think over an hour, so 1:05 will work but an hour won't. I've had the 6:45 Sanaa for a while (within 1:45 of my plane landing, I like to play with fire lol).

it is SERIOUSLY torquing my OCD!

Does the "change reservation" link work? I assume not.

I had this problem with another reservation before! Eventually it let me cancel it. Can't remember if I went on the app to cancel it or if the button just showed up one day!

I've seen a picture of the polar bear in a red scarf!

Wow! 20s already! That definitely deserves a few banana dances! We're all getting so close!! (Except @Lisa F whose ticker seems to be stuck at 37 for the past few days?! Lol!)

Oh wow, that never happened on mine. That's bizarre!

nope, i get the "we had to duck out" error.

well I cancelled it and I have the cancellation email but it's just still showing up in MDE. when I try to cancel it online it says to call. when i called she said it was cancelled. I'M STUCK IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE!

I leave my inaccurate ticker up to gaslight everyone lol. I do log into MDE every day and see where I am. Doesn't everyone?

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.

I was thinking the same thing!! I'm going to need to be rolled out of Epcot!

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!!

Yay!!! I'm so happy you got the last thing you were waiting for!!

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???

Yes. Yes it will.

Coke Polar Bear Meet and Greet. Isnt he cute

THAT IS HORRIFYING!!

I leave my inaccurate ticker up to gaslight everyone lol. I do log into MDE every day and see where I am. Doesn't everyone?

Will you fix that, please?? I rely on you to tell me when I'm leaving since we arrive on the same day!

Ugh, work has been insanely busy this week. Yesterday I didn't get to log on at all between work and going out to get our Halloween costumes. I only got part of mine and need to go out to find the rest of it. I love Halloween, but it's interfering with my Disney planning!! LOL

Thanks a million for posting this! I am loving the uniquely themed trees! My kids were very into 101 Dalmatians and we went as Cruella and 2 dalmations for Halloween a couple of times when they were little. Beauty and the Beast will be a favorite. And Mickey and Minnie...lol! All of them sound great! This is the sort of thing that really gets me bouncing-off-the-walls excited!

It looks awesome, doesn't it? New things to make memories (pictures are memories) and probably some fun ideas to possibly create little themed trees at some point. Loving that they seem to be giving us some new stuff, since they took so much away. Oh and did you join us on FB?

I got a party of 3 for @Mintycake and there's still a bunch of availability! @Iowamomof4...is this the date you wanted?

edit: I see @Candycane83 already alerted you.

I wanted to grab it using my extra MDE account but I don't have friends and family attached to that one! I can't grab it

I was so bummed I couldn't get it, but then I changed the number and saw there were a lot available. I wonder if they released more or if there were that many cancellations?

DH is agitated right now because I paused TV and told him "Shhh" like 4 times while I was posting this. I said "Calm down hunny, I'm just trying to get some more people to party with us in Disney!"
