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

[Lisa F]

Since you're all getting to hang out at JBJB on Sat., I hope to meet up with you all at some point during the party.


@Talby Love the idea of your daughter's senior photo shoot!

@SilSprBea Hallelujah! We already knew you were going, but it's nice to have it finalized.

@areno79 I don't remember if I told you all, but M had a nightmare that Donald was chasing him with a machete and Goofy just watched. I have no clue why, but he wants to have a word or two with both of them. ha ha ha

the plan was to meet up and hold spots for fireworks together, giving people some flexibility to come and go a bit rather than all of us parking for the entire time (though that might end up happening if we have our own little PAR-TAY going on!) it's kind of "wasted time" anyway, might as well make use of it.

@Talby-- I really like the early tepon edo at 3pm option. It doesn't change your day too much except skipping appetizers like you'd planned. And it doesn't make you have to rearrange days and fast passes (unless there's an FEA fast pass involved at the time of jbjb or the earlier dinner). And you don't even have to look for an ADR because Lisa already found it for. As bdfmom said, you can hop back after jbjb and explore world showcase and see illunonations.

also @Talby just sayin'... Teppan Edo is NOT known for their desserts. It is pretty much the perfect meal to go to a dessert PAR-TAY after.

I mean my 3pm SUNDAY DINNER is Yak & Yeti. Do you think I am going to say no to those cream cheese wontons? Luckily you will not have a dilemma! they do have desserts but they are smallish and light and not stand out... if you want a complete meal have them but I don't think they will steal too much space from JBJB desserts. Just leave your BOOZE side on EMPTY (yes my child has a "dinner side" and a "dessert side" in his tummy. mommy has a booze side! but it only holds about 16oz lol)

See, everyone agrees!

I thought you all were doing it for the parade and I was planning on seeing the second. Really, I'm just not sure of my scheduling till the 1st party info comes out. If it's the fireworks, then that's a strong possibility.

parade spots are a priority but i'm sure we'll still be milling around for fireworks too. unless we hate each other then... OH CRAP my kid has to go to the bathroom! SORRY COULDN'T FIND YOU AGAIN IN THE CROWDS. lol.

 

[Iowamomof4]

I've seen people mention making a note in MDE to remember things... can anyone tell me how to do that?

I think it'll be too late by JBJB!

From the "My itinerary" view of the MDE website, you can do this. You'll have to go into each individual day and you'll see a drop down in the upper left hand side that says "Add Plans." From there you can use "Add a Note"

Happy Halloween 1st week of December friends! I have some news to share. Guess who FINALLY has a Disney trip paid off? Yes, ME!!! So I will be seeing you all in December.



I sent my TA a last chance to pay by today note or I'm calling Disney email this morning and she paid off my balance and my friend's balance.

She also had the nerve to invoice me for her concierge fee today (she hadn't charged my credit card yet). At first I had just resigned myself to paying and being done with it, but the more I think about it the more it boils my blood to give her that extra money when she had given me so much aggravation. I'm having some internet issues at work (no internet or email in our office) so I'm thinking once I'm home later and can change passwords on my MDE and my friend's MDE accounts (she has access to both) I will send her an "I'm divorcing you as a travel concierge" note and contesting charges on my Amex if she tries to bill me. Not sure what I should do yet.

YES!!! She should definitely NOT get any money from you!! I'm glad you'll be with us in Disney though!!

From what I remember, it is:

@DisneyBelle27
@areno79
@rasadkowski
@Talby
@LBlovesM&WDW

@rasadkowski is going to the dessert party. I know @areno79 is open to meeting up with us. Not sure if anyone else is up for meeting up before the parade??

Yep, I'll be there!!

Since you're all getting to hang out at JBJB on Sat., I hope to meet up with you all at some point during the party.

God, that's even more disturbing than my dream!!!

I have done it from the website but it might be possible from the app as well.

On a serious note, I think we'll be there for parade and then move up to the hub for fireworks. You could always meet up with us for fireworks

Whooooeeee! Another fun day, which is no surprise! I'm laughing and all teary-eyed again because you are all so funny and just as equally kind and brilliant!

I just have to get it out to @SilSprBea because I'm bursting at the seams with happiness for you that your trip payment is finalized! I'm sure you are hugely relieved!! YAY!!

@Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL You're my Teppan Edo hero!! Incredibly thoughtful and generous that you picked another one up again, to add to your collection that you ALREADY picked up for me. MUCHAS GRACIAS, MI AMIGO! (It'd be so much better if I could pull that off in Japanese, but no can do! haha)

Lots of people commented, and I read every single one, but I don't want to leave anyone out if I list them all....I appreciate all the input so much. THANKS A MILLION!!

@Lisa F I feel like this should be a bumper sticker or a t-shirt on Etsy: "Dinner is a state of mind, not a time of day." I accept your challenge and think it is solution perfection!! I don't know why I was so closed off to that idea but it makes perfect sense! PPO Garden Grill, Teppan Edo SUNDAY DINNER ON SATURDAY, then JBJB dessert party with the coolest bunch EVER! I mean, how is that not a wonderfully amazing awesome way to spend our day?!?! And you picked up an ADR for me? Oh no....more teary-ness!

You all honest and truly are the BEST!!

 

[Iowamomof4]

Okay, thanks @SilSprBea and @Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL now how do I see the note on the app? I've got it in there for that day, but need to be able to access it while I'm in the park.

Haha posted at the same time. IIRC, did you say a few pages ago that you are/were a teacher? Comparing our instructions side-by-side, it becomes painfully obvious that I am not, nor was I ever a teacher. I like yours much better!!!

From the home screen on the app, click on your icon in the top left. You should see a chronological list of all your ADRs, FP, and any other events/notes you added along the way.

We got our packet with the vouchers in the mail today!
