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

[DisneyBelle27]

Yours says one month eleven days.

Lol! I see it as one month ten days, which also isn't correct! Thank goodness for the countdown widget on my phone, or I'd be getting confused about my own countdown, lol

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this could be a problem. I have seen that they really don't let anyone in until 4:00. I haven't been in a while but I wonder if it will help if you are through metal detectors etc and queued super early to get in right at 4, then you MIGHT get there before your grace period is up (people report a 15 minute grace period). Just not sure though, it depends on your tolerance for risk.

I will keep trying to change it...maybe I will have some luck the week of the trip...thought I might stop and talk to cm at the hotel...let them know I'm def. going...whatever! Worse case scenario, they don't let us in, we eat at CHH, and I save more Money than I wasted on cancellation fee.

Of you are OK with that I'd risk it and make sure you srectgrough security well before 4pm, close to 1st on line to enter them make your case to the CP check in person if you are close . My guess is most want to make pixie dust, not squash it .

 

[Mrs. Inc]

Thank you for the suggestion, much appreciated! I am, sadly, a sinus infection master I have an immune deficiency that means I'm prone to getting them. I've gotten really good at preventive measures to keep myself from getting colds, b/c with me, they can easily become sinus infections. The craziest thing I ever used was a waterpik with a nasal attachment! Like a neti pot on steroids! Lmao. Haven't used that since I was in high school though, since in general I've just gotten so much better about preventing illness, plus I'm not surrounded by a bunch of germy teens, lol. Perfect day for a lazy afternoon on the couch though, we're expecting some rainy/windy conditions to start moving through soon! Love that kind of weather!

So, right now I'm going back over my packing list. I'm trying to decide if I'll be able to manage everything as carry-on only. I've gotten pretty good at packing compactly over the years, lol. I think my biggest concern is ending up with a ton of souvenirs to take home with me! But I think I'll aim for carry-on only travelling down, and then I'll check my bag if I need to on my way home.

I use to get sinus infections like clockwork every October. Thought it was back to school germs from my students, but after YEARS of struggling, found out it was mostly due to allergies.

Also, CP is huge...and we are just two people...I think the odds are good. I can have my DD run ahead...she can get there much faster!

Ugh, that stinks. I never had seasonal allergies in the past. Before they figured out I had an immune deficiency I had the full panel allergy screening (in addition to head x-rays and cat scans, lol) to figure out why I kept getting sinus infections, so I knew it wasn't allergies then. However, I think in the last couple years I might have developed some mild seasonal allergies. However, in this case, I am placing 100% blame on my coworker who sits right next to me, who had a cold all week since Monday, lol. I can't get too mad at her though, cause she's my friend and we get along well, and it's not her fault we sit in a sardine can of cubicles

 

[Mrs. Inc]

I hear you, I had immune problems, too. Had to stop teaching, and things got much better...I say I'm allergic to children! My worst allergy is mold and mildew...as in leaf piles and Christmas trees. Had my full work up done when I was 30... And my food allergies picked up later in my 30s...just be careful and take it seriously.

 

[LBlovesM&WDW]

Well I am still following the LTT menu reduction thread and people are reporting the food sucks now too... there was just a great review on the corn fritters and someone else is saying they were "tasteless." So maybe my excitement was premature, although honestly when I am upset about something, nothing seems good about it. I still think that my plan of app(s) and dessert is a decent one... the app and dessert menu did not change. Also I wonder if they will be responsive to guest complaints pretty quickly and things will settle down a bit. Bleh. The menu still sounds good to me.

Due to procuring Minnie's, I cancelled dinner at Frontera Cocina that night and moved it to 11am on the 8th. Since I still wanted OGTC, I made LTT at 2:50pm (even though it still says 2:30pm--grrr) and we'll have an app, perhaps share a meal and then I'll get my OGTC. Then, we'll be ready to partay!

 

[LBlovesM&WDW]

I don't think a warranty would cover using it like a lever to pry the lid off (BF did it lol). I am pretty sure that is not how it is meant to be used. It's like $50 to replace it too and bf is insisting. I wish he wouldn't spend that on a stupid paring knife but he won't replace it with something cheaper. Male pride

Well, nobody needs to know exactly how it happened

Ugh, I hear ya. I used to teach too. Saw an improvement when I moved out of that field too, lol. Stupid allergies, that's such a pain! But yeah, always very cautious and mindful of these things, I don't want to mess with my health, that's for sure!

I am guessing that what is left on the menu hasn't changed in quality . I just think that people are ticked and taken by surprised. If I walked into that and was expecting something else I'd not enjoy my meal . . . It's hard for me to shake that . . . Which is why I try to keep expectations flexible!

I completely understand. I know that there have been many times I've gone to a restaurant to find the beloved menu item I'd gone there for is gone and I've had a hard time accepting that and finding something else.

Anybody think I could make a 11:20am-12:20pm 7DMT FP if we have a 11:15am Plaza ADR? I might have gotten so excited snagging the ADR that I neglected to remember my FP times, and the next available 7DMT FP isn't until like 9:50pm. :|

Close but shoukd be ok. Show up a bit before 11. Realize you have a 15 minute grace period on the fp+. What day is it?

Don't know but maybe you can keep trying this week to tweak the 7DMT. I think people are tweaking and some are cancelling their packages before 30 days.

It's for Saturday 12/10. I don't know how far before 11am we'd be able to get there either because that's the day we do our Marceline tour, and from what I've read it ends at 11am at Carousel of Progress. The 15 minute grace period may be our saving grace if I don't find another time or give up the ADR.

I'm definitely gonna stalk a little. And it wouldn't be the absolute end of the world if I needed to choose between them, but y'all know me. I wanna do it all! Haha!

I think you should ride 7dmt first early (try by 11:05) then head to the plaza after. If you're a little late for the restaurant, I'm sure they would still accommodate you since it's basically a walk in later anyway.

THAT IS SO SWEEEEEEET!

Tomorrow we'll just be at the zoo about an hour from us! lol But we're looking forward to it. DD volunteered there this past summer and tomorrow is a special Halloween "Zoo Boo" event that we're all participating in. Should be fun. DD is in her glory there and DS needs to feel the joy of community service! lol I love seeing all the kids in their costumes!

You guys will definitely be among the very first to know when I'm in the 21st century and on FB!

We went to our local zoo today that had Zoo Boo as well. When we were waiting in the long food line we got to talking to the family in front of us and it turns out they are huge fans of Disney as well. They are DVC members and go a lot. They have already seen some of the new stuff and will be there again around Christmas.

I was asking because I have a 4:20 on 12/9 and would not mind your time slot lol.
