**December 2012 Roll Call** Holidays, FLE Opening & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

Does anyone know how to find out what Target's are offering the discounted Disney giftcards?

Woohoo I get to make ADr's in 2 more days! I have to be at work at 6:30 so I'll already by awake.

I finally decided on which day to go to the christmas party. We are going on the 13th! Can't wait.

 

[nickle831]

nevermind i found the target info. To bad it ended yesterday.

 

[DizNee Luver]

Woo Hoo, got up at 3am (Pacific) to make our online ADR's!! Got everything we wanted and didn't have to go to back up plans!! Still have to watch for the Epcot restaurants to open up and the Candlelight Processional packages.....then I'll be set!!

I asked the courtesy booth before I did it because I am not trying to beat the system. They said absolutely. So DH and I have the same SS card number and it triggered 4 $10 bcatalinas today... With the employees okay (she didn't need to do anything special though).

I. Sure if someone were trying to buy 10 back to back it would raise an eyebrow.

First, let me say, JLa01844, if I offended you with my "loophole" comment, I apologize. I never meant to infer that you were doing something sneaky or underhanded. It was more in reference that you discovered either, the proof readers for the circular weren't doing their job or SnS's bean counters SERIOUSLY underestimated the number of people that go to Disney or live at the Bass Pro Shops.

Next, congrats to DizNee Luver on her batting 1.000 on her ADR's. And also congrats on your son's endeavors.

Finally, I got myself some ADR's too. I got the meals for the 1st half of our trip reserved. I can't book anything for Fantasmic or CP yet. Guess I just have to be patient.

Here's my ADR's so far:

12/7 11:30am Tutto Italia
12/8 9:30am Tusker House Restaurant
12/9 9:30am Kona Cafe
12/9 4:30pm The Crystal Palace
12/10 11:30am Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant
12/10 6:30pm Whispering Canyon Cafe

And I just added Akershus for 8:30am on 12/11 (this one may be veto'd)

I'll let everyone know how the second 1/2 will go. More importantly, I'll let everyone know the in-laws' reaction to my "whatever you book will be fine" reaction when I tell them the ADR's.

Thanx I was pleased at how easy it was to do them online!! (especially being half asleep.....lol)

So far none of our meals are matching up.....but we will both be doing the Crystal Palace on the same day.....us for breakfast & you for dinner. But we will be in the same park!!!! Who knows....maybe a 5 min. meet up!!

Did you decide against the pre-park opening ADR at Tusker House, or were you unable to get it? I'm trying for that ADR tomorrow!

DizNee Lover, I'm also hoping for a CRT ADR for 12/9, but I'm going for a later dinner time. We're doing MVMCP that night, but I haven't bought our tickets yet, either.

We're doing the MVMCP on 12/13.....so we're doing dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern around 5pm, so we don't actually do a sit down meal during the official party time (7pm). We're doing CRT as an early dinner so we're clear of the park by the time the party starts up (since we're not doing it that night). We'll also use that time to get back to the resort early & do some swimming!!

We got an 8am Tusker House ressie for 12/10.....that seemed to be the earliest we could get.

Good luck getting your ADR's!!!

Purchased our MVMCP tickets earlier this week for Dec 18 and I also purchased our outbound flight earlier this week.

We still have about a week and a half until our ADR date (June 21), but I had to turn in our list to BW IPO this week. Here is what I gave them...

Dec 18 - no ADR (grabbing Chick Fil A at MCO to eat on ME, will grab a snack or something if needed later at MVMCP)
Dec 19 - Bkfst Club Level / lunch San Angel Inn / dinner Coral Reef (CP package)
Dec 20 - Bkfst H&V / lunch Sci Fi / dinner 50's PT
Dec 21 - Bkfst Cape May / lunch T-Rex / dinner Yachtsman
Dec 22 - Bkfst CP / lunch LTT / dinner 1900 PF (will change to BOG if open and ADRs are avail)
Dec 23 - Bkfst Rainforest Cafe @ AK / lunch TH / dinner WCC
Dec 24 - Bkfst CRT / lunch Tonys / dinner Ohana
Dec 25 - Bkfst Akershus / lunch Le Cellier (1st choice) or Via Napoli (2nd choice) / dinner Tutto Italia
Dec 26 - Bkfst Club Level / lunch QS @ Beaches N Cream / dinner SOA
Dec 27 - Bkfst TH / lunch Y&Y / dinner CG
Dec 28 - Bkfst Captains Grille / lunch Big River Grille (they dont do ADRs)

IPO will be keeping an eye on Le Cellier for me since I know its unavailable right now, but I will also be checking Dining website multiple times a day when those are finally released.

I put in 8:30 and that's what came up. I was kinda rushing so I didn't look deeper. But I'll keep vigilant.

Do you know for sure that's the date they'll open up the Epcot restaurants for booking?? Is that also for the CP packages??

We're hoping to change one of our MK dinners for the Be Our Guest restaurant too!!! *+*+*Pixie Dust for us both*+*+*

After making my reservations I called to find out when I would be able to make the Epcot ones (we are there two nights, one booking will be CP, other one regular) and the Dining CM told me to call back June 26th so lets hope shes right!

And yes, MAJOR pixie dust for us both ... I want to take my parents there for their 42nd wedding anniversary

 

[Tltorrez]

That's the date they were released last year. Probably just a guess on the CMs part.

I thought I read that they went on sale July 26th last year

Hope it wasn't a guess - she made all the right 'noises' when trying to find out the info so it sounded like she was looking it up. Although she could have been drinking coffee and tapping her pencil for all I know

Cool, I hope we can do those this month & not have to wait until July!!! I did all mine online, so never spoke directly with Disney Dining to get any input. Guess we'll just have to keep watching for the good news!!

Bummer! So I wonder if it's even worth it for me to get up early tomorrow to book that.

 

[erinscreen]

I finally confirmed my trip! I was originally planning on going back in October, but my plans changed. Will be going December 3-7 on a solo trip. I haven't booked my resort yet because I need to verify my budget, but I am crossing my fingers for Beach Club (otherwise will likely be POR).

This is my first time visiting WDW during the holidays and also my first solo trip, so I am SUPER excited about both of those things.

 

[tonya clayton]

Bamagal we'll be joining you at POP on the 10th. Looks like most will be at AOA. My group loves POP. We'll be there with bells on and windows decorated.

 

[disney newb]

Hello! We originally were going Dec 3rd but it's been changed to the 2nd. You can go ahead and take my name off the Dec 3rd list Thank you! 175 more days to go!!

 

[My2Qtz0205]

Well, my first try at making ADR's was a bust! There are no available Tusker House breakfast times for a party of 9 on 12/8. I don't know what the chances are of that opening up, but I guess I can keep trying. That was a waste of an early alarm.
