.....Although, be careful about your time at Prime Time Cafe. We ate at Sci-Fi Dinner on our last trip. We had a 5:00 ADR and I thought that would be plenty of time to get over to Fantasmic. Time has a way of slipping by in DHS and we had to wait for our table, wait for our check, make two trips to the bathroom....

....Can you get in with the GAC?? If so then you are probably in good shape but with the limited showings of Fantasmic it is quite the hot ticket!

If we are desperate, we can use the GAC, but I would want to use it more to bypass the long line rather than get a particular seat. I think with proper planning, we should be okay.

Remember, the first week of November starts with Daylight Savings Time on Sunday, Nov. 1st. (Fall back!) That means that dusk will fall one hour earlier than it had in previous weeks.

Historically, "Jersey Week" is crowded, especially toward the end of the week, and Disney adds on a second Fantasmic show on that weekend. Because of this, I'm betting that there will be double Fantasmics that Friday... most likely at 7:00 and at 8:30. I would shoot for the second showing, which is always less crowded and will give us more time to eat.

Of course, this is a gamble until park hours/entertainment schedules are confirmed....

Congratulations Kathy! I had a similarly trained (or UN-trained) CM when I made our ADRs. As those precious minutes tick by the sound of lost ADR times is almost audible. I'm glad you got everything you wanted and didn't have to rely on Joy's magic.

Those are wonderful ADRs Kathy! Glad to see you got your first choices and at decent times!!

So glad you were able to get EVERYTHING! I love the trick of using 2 phones. Very, very smart.

If we are desperate, we can use the GAC, but I would want to use it more to bypass the long line rather than get a particular seat. I think with proper planning, we should be okay.

We used the GAC to get into Fantasmic (Joe's eye condition-need front row seating). We avoided the line and got a 2nd row seat. I don't think the first CM we spoke to was all that thrilled we showed up 2 minutes before show time...but the second one ushered us straight to a seat with a smile. We probably should have done the line and then used the GAC just for the seat we need - but...well.... We ended up sitting in the Dinner Package seating.

Does Billy do okay with waiting? Otherwise, I imagine you would be just fine using the GAC to bypass the line. When we got there, MANY seats were still open, but toward the back only.

Oh, that's not good news. Hopefully, things will improve soon.

I'm having a little trouble with plantar fasciitis myself... going to the podiatrist soon... hope I don't have to give up my Crocs!!!

We've got to get our tootsies in shape for Disney!!

Kathy

I'm sorry to hear about your plantar fasciitis! Do podiatrists think Crocs are bad for your feet? My Mom says near everyone at the Mayo Clinic (where she works), doctors and nurses alike wear 'em since they are on their feet all day, everyday!

I have high arches, which I belive is a big part of the problem. I've been wearing my Cayman Crocs at work in the doctor's office and around the house for about 2 1/2 years and this is the first time I've had foot trouble.

I think it's the 2 pair of Crocs flip-flops that I've been wearing practically all summer in my "off" hours that may have started it all....

We'll have to see what happens with Fantasmic. If there are two shows that night and we attend the later one, I don't anticipate a problem with getting to the theater a bit later.

Congrats on the ADRs!!!

One of the automated things should be
"Do you DIS? Press 7"
then they know to give us the good CM that know what they are doing, or access to the system ourselves to make the ressies go faster!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Congratulations on getting all those wonderful ADRs! Reading about them is making me hungry!

As a physical therapist, I will tell you that the flip-flops are indeed where the plantar fascitis came from. I did the same thing to myself while living in AZ!!!

 

[preschoolmom]

So glad you got your ADRs! I had to call mine in, too. The computer system wouldn't work for me.

I think Disney must have one of my last 10 phone numbers

I love it! Yes, we should have an elite staff of CMs to cater to us!!

I thought so!

I put the same Powerstep inserts that I use in my walking shoes in my Crocs Cayman's and they really help!

Hungry?? I wonder why??

Like I said, it's got a few kinks left in it. I'm assuming you got what you wanted... congrats!

You won't find anything concrete on my TR... It's just a quick four-day weekend -- just Charles and me -- for Food and Wine and some DIS meets. I am super excited!

Chelsea knows about it but has been sworn to secrecy -- she overheard me requesting the days off from my principal. We haven't told Connor yet -- partly because I know how he is going to react -- I am going to have to promise him something good as a souvenir!

 

[KathyRN137]

Thanks!

I'm glad that's over... for now!
