Hahaha. I almost posted this to here too and I opened up the ADR spreadsheet and didn't see it. I forgot we are all a bunch of plan tweakers!

Dude, you read my mind! I just PM'd this person to see about coordinating. Apparently I'm not done with ADR stalking/clicking/hoping....

Any suggestions? I was thinking about Villains on arrival night but I really want to enjoy our CL

to the craziest, friendliest, most helpful thread on all of the DISBoards!

I think your plans look great. I haven't done the CP Dining Package before, this is my first year for it, but I believe I've read that lining up a half hour before when you have the package is sufficient. If you're really torn about the CL vs Villains maybe make a pros and cons list? I'm not sure what exactly you get with CL, but isn't it just a lounge with snacks? Might be worth doing the Villains event over that, if you're really feeling like you're going to miss out.

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!

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

I think it may be a right of passage of sorts of this thread to add a day to your trip! I'll have extras through tomorrow night if you decide you want to go!!

Sooooo.... does that mean you've decided to come party with us?

I'm creating options. I have such a case of warm fuzzies from everyone's sweetness and like you all so much that I'm looking at SWITCHING PARK DAYS!!

Ha ha! Definitely a rite of passage! lol

And you should do whatever works best for your touring plans and strategies, but I'm no gonna lie, it'd be awesome if you could be at the party with us!

Thanks ! I'm still leaning towards the Villains- it sounds great and it includes food and show. My coworker is selling me $500 in Disney GCs for $350 so I may use them for this.
I really don't want to over plan every second, but we will only be here a few days - I need a MONTH!!!

I'm not sure if I should say "your welcome" or "I'm sorry". Ha Ha.

.......and drinks.......it includes drinks........with ALCOHOL IN THEM!!!

Makes all the difference in the world!

So true! Would be so happy if @Mal6586 and @Talby could join in but no pressure of course it's what works best for you guys that's most important

although i will say that I have a feeling 12/3 will be like a private party for this thread!

I'd vote for the Villains Party, especially with that awesome deal you got on those gc's! It would be a great way to start off your trip with a bang!

And I hear ya on the only a few days thing, lol. I'm only there from the 6th-11th, and I'm sure I won't get to all the things I want to see, even though I'll be travelling by myself, and can move at my usual super fast pace without having to worry about others keeping up with me! I just really want to do all the things! And eat all the things!

 

[Talby]

LOL! Thinking you should go with "Your Welcome" though because.... (that's a drum roll haha)

I just got the Sci-Fi!

You guys, this planning is SO MUCH FUN with you all! Let's do it again next year!!

I just saw that person posted a successful transfer. Figured that was you. That 12/3 party is shaping up to be a great night for you guys!!!

Ok, I've decided on Nemo and Dory for this year's pumpkins! I will report back later with whether or not they end up looking anything like these stencils!

We are such fans of Nemo and Dory!! Looking forward to seeing your masterpieces.

 

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

Off topic, but I just noticed there's a such thing as a "bump thread". Not knowing what it was about, I clicked on it to investigate. It is literally a thread where people just type the word "bump" over and over. That's cool and I'm definitely not judging. Really just wanted to point out that our thread has almost twice as many pages as that one. Truly a testament to people on here!!!
