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

@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!
omg this site is impossible. I downloaded that last night but haven't used my computer much. . . was carving the kid's 2" thick dense pumpkin. ruined two knives on it including snapping my henckles paring knife. that seemed to make the make the site a lot more usable though! thanks !
 
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.
:rotfl2:

@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!
no pressure or anything but please , you must come . There was a 3pm TE that day. a bunch of us are doing 3pm dinners in other parks. it works !
 
This makes me so happy. :) Do you ever have those moments when you're thinking about your Disney vacation and you feel as if you might burst from excitement? Well, I'm having one right now!! :thanks:

Yup, I love those moments! :cloud9:

Yay! Hopefully it helps! It was like night and day for me, I'm so much less frustrated now using the site! I just hope I'm able to install the add-on on my work computer now...ahem...*cough cough*.....wait, what?.....I mean.....of course I'd never spend work time looking at a Disney site! :rotfl2:

And oh no about the mangled knives! Ugh. I'm carving my pumpkin today, still haven't decided what to do. Last year I did one of the little green aliens from Toy Story, lol. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Not gonna lie, at one point I had the 12/3 jibjab party almost reserved last night just because it was so exciting, and then gave myself another talking to. "Mallory, you'd have to add another park day just for this, not to mention the fact you'd have to be on the road no later than 5am in order to make that. Yeah, not gonna happen!"

Guess we'll be sticking with our plan of evening arrival, checking out the QS at the resort, and hopefully catching the outside movie! :D

Seriously though, congrats to everybody that got the party they wanted!

i just do a classic so no help ! lol
 
I said I was done planning but of course I was still searching because that's what we do, right? Lol. We'll last night around 1030 I was able to grab JBJB for 12/9, a 1900 Park fare for 12/5, and I got an earlier time for Tusker on 12/8. I feel so accomplished haha. I was talking to DH this morning about the night time events since now we have 4 "late nights" (Pirate and pals, MVMCP, Illuminations Dessert Party and JBJB- but that's not to late at 6 something). He says cancel illuminations but I'm not convinced yet. What do you think? We can still see it but if DS is cranky we can leave a not feel bad we paid for dessert not to get any.

Haha, I know, right? I was like, is there any way I can get there on this date too? But I'd need to add THREE NIGHTS to my trip, not to mention an additional vacation day from work :rotfl:

I'm consoling myself with the fact that a bunch of the gang will be at the MVMCP I'm going to on 12/8, and I think there might be a few doing CP on 12/7, although I don't know what times the others are doing. I'll be at the 8:15 show.

If you're looking for one to cancel, either that or Pirates & Pals would be my pick. Of course, the P&P thing has zero appeal to me, so take my opinion on that with a grain of salt. The JBJB party is good because the viewing area is quite small for the general public, also it's earlier in the night, so little kids should handle it better than later events.

Seems to be a lot of adr activity...I got breakfast at cape may for 12/9 and a 4:00 dinner at Cp on 12/8 last night.
 
Hey. I just started paying attention to Jedi Training for our dates. Times aren't posted yet. Is there a certain distance out that they post it?

Yep, its people cancelling their packages at the 30 day mark. This is a good time to find the elusive ADRS!

My parents and brother all found a JBJB party for 12/4! Impressive because it was sold out last week!

And.... I called again this morning regarding BBB for my niece and they had a 12:20 opening for 12/7!

So yes, lots of folks cancelling various things. :)

An extra park day is not that much more! We added an extra day and it was like $15 extra per person. Talby still has extras.

I wish o could go. We don't arrive until the next day!

Congrats on scoring all those ADRs!! :cheer2:

I know what you mean about late nights! We have 2 really late nights at MK and another 3 semi late nights. For me, I think illuminations party is the one you can get rid of. @Iowamomof4 posted a recent article about all the holiday offerings at EPCOT. You can always get a few snacks and I think that it isn't too hard to find a spot to watch illuminations in. :)
 
Does anyone know if the buses are still running the park to DS direct in the evening, route?
