ABD means abdomen in my world.

I don't know. Kevin's tweet today said

"ABD releasing 2017 dates to return guests 4/21-21. Open to everyone 4/22. Kevin@DreamsUnlimitedTRavel.com"

Ohhhh, I'm not sure what that means then, sorry!

Adventures by Disney. I think it has something to do with Disney cruise lines.

ABD = Adventures by Disney

Thanks for letting me know. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that might concern our trip in October.

They are different than the cruise line, their adventure tours (on land).

Thank you! All this FD stalking I totally forgot to check my Nov park hours bookmark! FD has taken over all I had been previously checking Nov hours every day but totally forgot once I started following this thread haha

There will not be much you couldn't control.

We use an agent EVERY time. We make our own ADRs and Fast passes if we want. But there again, there's a certain level of trust between us. We refer people to her all the time. She makes sure we are well taken care of.

If you can message me some info on a TA I could trust, I am starting to consider it. I am concerned I won't be able to get exactly what I need or even know what I need to make sure my daughter's medical condition is considered, and I want this trip to be as magical as possible for her. Any help or advice for a TA would be greatly appreciated.

My husband said he is going to build me a padded room lol

I think I need to build myself a padded room. This waiting is driving me bonkers.

Why does it have Magic Kingdom closing at 4:30 the one day?

Odd. On a random Thursday. Anyone have any ideas?

 

[O-so-good Disney Mama]

I got a room with dining and 6 day tickets for the same price as it would be with free dining at Caribbean

What resort was it at?

 

[SJSloan]

Can someone please tell me what I would or wouldn't be able to do with my reservations if I go with a TA?

Also, would I still be able to make my own ADR's?

I am a TA myself. While I offer to do all of my clients planning, many do their own ADRs and FP+. If booking with a TA the only you can't do it make a payment, make changes (such as add discounts) or call in to make room requests. The TA has to do all that. Other than you can be in control of everything else.

This wait is killing me, but just think this time a week from now all will be known. Right? Right??

 

[kevin75]

Let's hope so!

 

[margievis]

can you change your plans online more than once? For example, could I change my dates now, then add the free dining when announced? We're going anyways, but have some flexibility in the dates. And I actually prefer a date that is in the rumored dining dates (at least, it starts during the FD promo. Should I go ahead and change to the preferred date now, then add the FD promo? Or should I just wait and try to do it all at once?

Caribbean beach resort

Really?! That's interesting! I thought they usually only had deals for deluxe resorts.

Say free dining is through 12/1 with black out dates of 12/2-12-14 and we book our stay for 12/1-12/16 but our flights are delayed because of weather (Traveling from Wi in Dec makes me nervous) if we check in on 12/2 due to that would they still honor our free dining or would we arrive and have to scramble?

I was wondering this as well! We are traveling from Ohio so you never know how the weather will be that time of year.
