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

[Iowamomof4]

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!!!

Is it for people to get their 10 or 15 posts so they can pm on the cancellation threads? Or is it really just a random thread for everyone?

Ok well that makes A LOT more sense now. I'm going to believe it's just for people to get to 10 posts.

FROZEN!!!!

We should all be ashamed of ourselves for not knowing.

It was pretty random, but with an 8yo daughter in the house who was 6 at the time the movie was so big, we've memorized most of it. lol

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!!




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!!

Haha! The extra day would be more doable if we weren't traveling that day. We've made that trip enough times to know that after 10 hours in the car, the last thing I'm going to be up for is hitting a park in a hurry, especially if we've been up since 4am. In reality, I don't see us hitting the road until more like 7am at the absolute earliest, probably 8am, which wouldn't put us there until about 7pm. I'll look forward to all y'all's trip reports about it though!

I didn't know that. I think the movie has played a million times in my house but I have perfected the act of tuning it out!

 

[Mintycake]

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!

Yup! Should we start a new thread for the 12/3 party for planning?
Also I have a 415pm 50s prime time dinner. Enough time to get to jbjb? Am thinking dh and I will split a meal so we have room for party food!

I knew that . I have watched it over 100 times! I have 3 grandchildren and they still LOVE it- shhhh. I love it also

Does anyone know if the buses are still running the park to DS direct in the evening, route?

I found this info:

Getting to Disney Springs

• Bus service from Disney Resort hotels begins 45 minutes before opening until 1:00 AM.
• Return service to Disney Resort hotels ends at 2:00 AM.
• One-way bus service from the 4 Disney theme parks operates daily from 4:00 PM until 11:00 PM or 2 hours after theme parks close, whichever is earlier.

@karen4546 Add a day! You should definitely add a day! lol I'm kidding, of course. Many here have added a day to their trips and when you asked if anything should be added, that's where my goofy sense of humor went. Your plans look wonderful--all sorts of great-looking things in there! WELCOME to the thread...hope you enjoy it here!!

All the excitement from this thread and getting the tracking for my MB has rejuvenated my enthusiasm for planning!



I'm going shopping this afternoon with DD for trip stuff!
I think a want to get an unstaffed throw pillow for autographs. I already got DD a white hat. DS want a book. Can all three of us get signatures?

I'm also on a mission to find those Christmas blub glow necklaces. I think we should all have them for the party!

How late to the shop in disney springs stay open?

 

[Talby]

ETA: Oops...sorry, this is for your @Mintycake

https://www.disneysprings.com/hours/

It looks like they vary somewhat, and I don't see that December hours are in here quite yet. From what I gather, things seem to be hoppin' until around 10-11pmish at in Disney Springs. (I think some restaurants are later?)

@BDFmom It sure seems like you could all have something autographed. You're all paying customers! lol I love your idea of the unfilled throw pillow!! And the light bulb necklaces at JBJB!! So happy for your renewed enthusiasm. It's like a marathon, this planning deal--gotta recharge the batteries now and again! Hope you have a great time shopping!

I have searching for those light bulb necklaces too. I read on the boards that someone found some at big lots. My Big Lots doesn't have them, nor can they order them online. I've checked Walmart with no luck, Target is next. I'll let everyone know when/if I find them.

I heard Michael's was another possibility.

I wonder if it's just a bit too early in some places.

I can pick up a few extras if I find them!

Someone also said home depot on another thread.

Home Depot????

 

[Iowamomof4]

Home Depot????

And suddenly lots of husbands find common ground with their wives over Disney planning.

Wife: "Honey, can we run over to Home Depot this afternoon?"
Husband: (wait, did she just say what I think she said?) "Uh, yeah, sure dear. You finally want to let me get that circular saw I've been wanting?"
Wife: "Oh, no, sorry... it's something for our Disney trip."
Husband: "We need a circular saw for our Disney trip? This gets more interesting all the time!"
Wife: "... uh..."

Is this the sort of thing you all are talking about for the light bulb necklace? Or is it something more Disney specific?

Congrats on your score @BDFmom and thanks for the scoop on the good deal at Home Depot (who woulda thought??)
