Free Dining Oct-Dec Is Here!!! (And a whole lot more) ~ Part 3

[TDDisney]

Finally might have found a way to link travelocity tickets for anyone who needs to know (or who needs to link other will call tickets). I spoke to someone at Disney's Internet Help Desk tonight. Finally found someone who seemed pretty knowledgeable about what I was having trouble with! She said to try this on an iphone or ipad with a camera. She said if it doesn't work, don't panic bc sometimes it doesn't work. She did say, though, that it works much better than trying to put the numbers in. I'll have to try it tomorrow...using a friends iphone.
Download the my disney experience app.
Login the same way you do on the computer.
Look for 3 little bars in the top left of the app.
Click on tickets and passes.
You should see an option to input or scan the ticket.
Choose scan.
Scan ticket.
Should load ticket.
Then you assign a ticket to each family member.

Cinderella's table quick question - wife was interested and scored a result for the night of our anniversary. Good so far

Have the dining plan and understood it uses 2 services. Fine.

Then they send me an email that they charged my card... Huh?

I thought I understood what I clicked, but...

Anybody already been down this road?

A couple planning questions:

Can you buy park hoppers for just 1 day?
How long does it take to get to Orlando MCO via magic express 1st thing in the AM? We are considering that to save a little $ on a rental car for the end if our trip.

You can buy hoppers for one day, but it's expensive. You basically pay the same for the hopper add-on no matter how many days. So one day would be quite the expense. It's around $59 dollars for the add-on.

I assume you mean per person? We have 4 going...2 adults 2 kids

That is per person. The hopper option covers all days of the ticket. The only way to get one day of hopping is if you have only purchased a one day ticket. In that case, the hopper option is only $35 or so.

ME will pick you up approx. 3 hours prior to your flight time. You need to be at the ME bus stop 15 minutes early and ready with all of your carry on luggage.

There is a box you have to check to link the ADR to your dining plan. Just give the dining reservation line a call when they are open and they can fix it for you.

I vaguely remember something about this when we had FD before. CRT has to be paid in advance if you don't have FD. I am thinking that we maybe had to give a credit card to hold the spot, i.e. would be charged if we didn't show up, but I don't remember it being charged. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm confused (as I seem to be lately ). You could always just call tomorrow and find out. I think Disney sees my number on their caller ID and thinks, "OMG! AGAIN?"

You don't have to have FD, but you do have to link it to your dining plan (free or purchased) in order to avoid paying up front.

We aren't flying out of MCO until 10/9, big we check out if Disney 10/7. We're headed to Clearwater for a couple days. Will they still take us back to the airport? It's only 12 mi I think, but not worth it if its a 2-3 hr process

I would ask about that over on the Transportaion forum. I'm not sure how it works if you don't have an actual flight. Good luck!

The only time I was able to get the Epcot princess breakfast was for the day we arrive at 8:05. Is it possible to check in with hotel to get park passes and dining plan and get to Epcot by 8am? Or do I need to cancel this ADR?

You can check into your resort anytime after 6am. They will give you your KTTW cards with your tickets and dining entitlements on them, and they will call or text you with your room number when it is ready.

 

[Camiandcarson10]

Thanks for letting me know I can check in at 6!! My daughter loves this place!

I had snagged an 8:05 there on he 20th...I will already be checked in at that point but I am hoping I can get the gang there that early! I'm still searching for something a smidge later.

 

[PrincessKyleigh]

I have been waiting....hoping....and it finally happened this morning!!!!!
I snagged fd at Riverside for my dates!!!!!!
I am so freakin excited!!!!!!!

That's great!! Congratulations.

 

[Camiandcarson10]

My ADR is on Nov 20! We plan on getting to the hotel at 6 or 6:30 that morning!

Sorry to post here, but it seems that Disney made upgrades to MDE over the weekend. My youngest daughter had disappeared off our reservation. Had to call to straighten everything out. Might want to check MDE......

Okay Friends...time for your opinion! In VERY important Matters!

I am thinking of biting the bullet and doing MVMCP again!
I have a choice;

1. Go after Animal Kingdom, 11/14: We have early 9:15 Safari breakfast....Last year we close Animal Kingdom down...so We need to leave their and goto POLY to get dressed for the party....

2. Go Friday 11/15: I have an early Cindy's ressie, but I have 2 others that week, so no biggie to cancel. I was thinking this day, make it a sleep in morning, and take advantage of the longer night hours. My only concern is crowds at a Friday party....(and during the day. Day arrive at park 1-2?

Your input is greatly appreciated!

P>S I forget if you have to leave the park to get admission to the party or if you can just get you wristband in park before it starts....

I'd do the Friday party. I would rather sleep in and take advantage of late party hours, and you might be too wiped out after all day in AK. We have been to a November MVMCP and it wasn't super crazy, and crowds really thinned out after the first fireworks.

Same with our 2 year old. Shows up on our room only but not on package. I called and was told she doesn't show up because she doesn't need a ticket or have dining plan. They told me as long as she's on the invoice we are fine.

 

[ALD85]

For those having issues with MDE...mine has been screwed up since the beginning and I can't fix it, every CM I've talked to says they have the right info and that's all that's important.

My daughter is in there twice!!! Spent a while trying to get it fixed, but the CM couldn't get her off MDE. We changed her name so I would know which one to select for Magicbands and FP+ if that's available in November.

Has anyone had any luck getting more child friendly choices at The Garden Grill? My kids are super picky and only like chicken nuggets/tenders, not chicken drumsticks. I am beginning to rethink our reservation.
