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

[Candycane83]

Iowamomof4 is all set now! She was able to grab 3 more just now when I told her there was availability again. So I think we just need to transfer to mintycake and see if anyone else says they were looking too.

Not a bad way to spend my Friday night really. We're pretty lame, especially since DH's knee is still swollen. I'm happy to help improve anyone's trip and fill the 12/3 JBJB party with all the wonderful people on this thread.

I really hope your DH feels better soon!

@Talby did you decide against attending jbjb?

You certainly did that. Thanks for your stellar stalking skills!! Glad it all worked out for @Iowamomof4 and I'm sure we'll hear from @Mintycake soon.

If you don't have the experience in your area, then yes, it's a good time and the food is very good.

I'm really happy to know that, thanks very much! Teppan Edo is, well for all of us, but for my Japanese-obsessed girl in particular. Yay!!

 

[Mrs. Inc]

Would you say its a worthwhile experience if one does NOT have hibachi where they live? (Please say yes...but no pressure! lol)

Absolutely! Kids liked it...just DH and I were a little disappointed...it was one of the boys' favorites at home...twice a year easily, so we thought been there done that.

 

[Talby]

I really hope your DH feels better soon!

@Talby did you decide against attending jbjb?

Well, I thought I had decided nay. Suddenly I have 7 tickets at my disposal. Hmmm...at this moment, I only have two words. Can you guess?

Open.
Minded.


@JamieOak What is the verdict on your DH's knee? I believe I read he was going to the doctor soon? But I'm not sure I saw an update? (Is that too nosy?)


Many thanks for that input @Mrs. Inc My DD18 really has a thing for Japanese culture and we plan on spending a good bit of time in Japan. Except for Mexico, we've never been in the WS so it's all new for us!

DH is starting to feel better, thanks for asking! Dr said it's just an infection that must have happened through some very tiny skin wound that DH didn't know he had, likely from kneeling which he does a lot at work and at home working on projects. Luckily there is no joint injury. The swelling is going down, but he still is getting off and on fevers during the day. He was more mobile today helping with farm chores. But can't stand/walk very long or it hurts. He should definitely be good by Disney, but we are hoping this heals fast so he can get back to work and we can build our chicken pens. At least I'm getting a head start staining the wood right now.

I think Talby should join the 12/3 JBJB party! She deserves it.

 

[areno79]

If I could convince my DH and my bank account to let me extend my trip by 5 days...

Thank you though!

I have a 12/3 BOG lunch at 1:30 that's yours if you want it @JamieOak

So, who still has NOT had her balance paid off? Yes, this girl. My TA stinks. She said Friday so she had 2 1/2 hours left to make good on her commitment.

I got home too late from an out of town work trip to deal with it today. I'm going to have to do what talby suggested on Monday but I think I'm going to have to get my friend to call with me since we both have our reservations linked and with the same TA.

Thanks for asking.

Grrrr I am SO angry for you!!! I'd be putting that TA on blast so quickly her head would spin!! I used to work for a global travel agency and its absolute BS that she's playing around like this. The only saving grace is that like @Talby said Disney can take over your reservation...it's just so frustrating that you even have to worry about this!

Thank you so much for your reply! It made my heart feel a whole lot better today! I think you and I read the same post, about "Experience gifts"and I think it was on WDWPrepSchool ?So far, am gifting an overnighter to the Great Wolf Lodge (per one daughter's request) and an annual family pass to the Seattle Science Center, as per the other daughter's request. I just really hope the grandkids will think these gifts are awesome?!?

I am having such a difficult time posting things here. My computer/Internet keeps telling me it cannot deal with this site- so it takes me literally hours to post anything here.

Feel so grateful for the friends I have made here and so glad to know that I am not the only one, staying awake nights- planning, planning, planning!
Wouldn't it be so fun, if we ran into each other while enjoying Disneyworld?!

I'm with you...typing on this site on my phone is a pain, but accessing this site on my laptop brings it to a screeching halt.

@bugarwitch I have a likely fix for your internet problems with this site!!! I've been having the same issues for days, it's been EXTREMELY frustrating! Stupid me, I had never thought to install an ad blocker (shame on me too, cause I tend to be pretty tech savvy, lol). Do a google search for Adblock Plus and install it. It immediately fixed the issues I was having with this site (there are too many stupid intrusive ads on it).

And I'm sure we'll manage to all bump into each other at some point! A lot of us already have our identifying tags printed out and laminated in some shape or form!

Ooh, great idea on the ad blocker! I didn't even think of that!

Well, I thought I had decided nay. Suddenly I have 7 tickets at my disposal. Hmmm...at this moment, I only have two words. Can you guess?

Do it! Do it! Do it!

 

[BDFmom]

I love this thread!!


It's so wonderful to witness and be apart of this great group! such amazing cooperation!

Yay!! For open minds and extra JBJB tickets!! No pressure


@SilSprBea fingers crossed that your TA does right by you! @Talby too!


I have an 8:40 Tokyo dinning ADR after JBJB for my Japan obsessed DS. He saw a video of Illuminations from inside the restaurant and is convinced he needs to experience it. DD and I will most like not be hungry but my teenage eating machine will have sushi. The girls will have tea and miso soup.
(I also have a plan B for Tokyo )

 

[JamieOak]

That could work. I'll check my plans tomorrow and get back to you. I already shut the computer for the night.

 

[Mrs. Inc]

Just added a cape may breakfast the Friday we leave before trees at DS...makes for a fun last morning. And, if we eat breakfast at the hotel on Thursday, we will be eating somewhere different on Friday. As Lisa says...tweaking, tweaking, tweaking!

 

[DisneyBelle27]

@JamieOak happy to hear your DH's knee will be good to go by Disney! Here's hoping he heals up quick!

I'm with you...typing on this site on my phone is a pain, but accessing this site on my laptop brings it to a screeching halt.



Ooh, great idea on the ad blocker! I didn't even think of that!

I'm not kidding when I say it was an instant fix! I was seriously on the verge of

I use Chrome and I also downloaded an add-on called Disable HTML5 Autoplay, because in addition to the super frustrating glitchiness/slowness/constant refreshing/try to type and the letters show up forever and a day later-problems, video ads with sound would randomly start playing from my DISBoards tabs on my laptop, lol. Had to keep the speakers muted. This add-on prevents them from autoplaying, super helpful!

 

[Mrs. Inc]

Anyone know how long the wait is at the plaza if we decide on ts instead of CHH?

 

[Iowamomof4]

@JamieOak Thank you so much for discovering the availability!

@Talby Thank YOU so much for grabbing up reservations for @Mintycake and myself!

@Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL Thank you for grabbing Talby's back up ADR so she could hold the party reservations for us!

And a big thanks to everyone else who contacted me, tried to tag me on FB, etc... to let me know about this. Seriously... the.best.thread.ever.

 

[areno79]

No rush...whenever you get a chance.

oh no. seriously what is this person's problem? how hard is it to apply a payment?

 

[Mintycake]

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.

No happened to me too.

 

[Mintycake]

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.

@Talby I saw the face book post and booked them through disney so no need for swap but thank you guys so much for tagging me!!! See you guys on 12/3!!!

Sucks about that ta! I'm not paid off until a few weeks from now. Not sure why it was set up like that for us.
