I Think We Should Go Again! A Nov '14 PTR! *TR Link Posted 11/25!*

[KelleyK75]

That's too bad you couldn't get any discounts. Maybe something even better will pop up for you before your trip?

 

[missangelalexis]

Awww man! Is totally switch to preferred, lol, but I have awful walking feet so any steps I can save myself... Sorry you missed out, but glad it's not a trip breaker!

I talked it over with my parents and I think we're just going to stick with Sports. I don't blame you for wanting preferred though!

You never know! Either way, we are just happy to be going!!

 

[missangelalexis]

So I spoke to soon about my room discount woes! I checked the website again and saw that rooms at All Star Sports at the discounted rate were available! I went ahead and called and was able to apply the discount to the room reservation!

Saving about $120 which is great with me!

Nice way to start the week Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoys the last week of July!

[Denovagirl]

Yay!! Happy for you!

Thank you both!

 

[KelleyK75]

Yay awesome! Please let me know who you get!

I got my order from Hot Topic, and I don't know if it was Hot Topics fault, or mine, but I didn't get the blind bag keychains. Instead I got the blind boxes. I re-checked my order confirmation, and it lists "keychain" but I received the boxes instead. So not sure what happened? But, I got 2 different Ariel figures in the boxes, and I am happy with those, so I am going to keep them. Now I just need to re-order and pick the keychains and hope they get it right this time. lol!

That's SO strange, I'm sorry that happened! I hope you are able to get the keychains this time! The Ariel figures sound cute too though!

I know, I'm not sure how that happened. I guess it was just an unexpected surprise, because I do like the Ariel ones. If I can figure out how to post a picture here I'll show you which ones I got. I'll probably have to work on that at home though (I am at work now). I am going to re-order the keychains and hope for the best.

First I wanna say a big YAY because we have made it to double digits!

Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

Day 3 of our trip has us at the Magic Kingdom!!

Potential FP+: (FP+ times are just ones I am aiming to get, obviously they won't be exact)
-Seven Dwarves Mine Train (1:00-2:00)
-SPlash Mountain (3:00-4:00)
-BTMRR (4:00-5:00)

We will be getting up extra early this morning because we have that breakfast ADR that I've been wanting to try for a while...CRYSTAL PALACE!! I cannot wait to try Pooh's puffed french toast!



We have an 8:05 reservation and I can't wait to be in the park before park opening! I want to make sure we really enjoy this breakfast, so I'm going to let go of the fact that we will definitely miss rope drop and the park will already be open by the time we finish. However, since we have the first reservation, I am hoping we will be finished by 9:30 and not miss out on too much touring time.

After breakfast we'll head to Fantasyland, hitting up Peter Pan with a hopefully low wait time. After that, I'd like to ride Under The Sea, Winnie The Pooh, It's A Small World and possibly Haunted Mansion. I'm hoping we can walk down and catch Chip & Dale meeting in Frontierland in those cute Western costumes At some point when we're in Fantasyland I'm hoping we can also meet the Tremaines. My dad expressed that he would like to meet Peter & Wendy again, and if he's requesting a character meet I'd like to make sure we do it! However last I checked, they aren't meeting in FL anymore and it's just Peter meeting in Adventureland now. So will have to keep any eye on where he will be in November! Hopefully we can get to all these things before lunch. Not sure where we will eat but I'm thinking either Peco's Bills or Cosmic Rays.

After lunch we will use our FP+ for our first ride on the new Mine Train! Mom & I are so very excited for this! Snow White is definitely her favorite classic Disney film. We've watched some videos of the ride and can't wait to be on it ourselves!



After that we might squeeze in a showing of the Country Bear Jamboree if we have time.By around 2:30 I'd like for us to secure a spot for the Festival of Fantasy Parade in Frontierland. Another thing I can't wait to experience! We watched the live stream when it debuted and I fell absolutely in love with it! Anyone have experience with this parade? Is 2:30 early enough to get a good spot in Frontierland?



After the parade we will hopefully have our FP+ to ride Splash & Big Thunder one after the other! After that, we may try and squeeze in another ride. I'd also like for us to also take the Railroad to Main Street! This was closed last October, so I'd like for us to get a ride in on it!

Once we get to Main Street we're going to head to TST to meet Talking Mickey! Wait times don't seem to be too bad for him, so I'm hoping that will be the case. OR I was thinking maybe trying to schedule it as a 4th FP after the mountains. But who knows what will change with the system in 3 months!

By around 6:00, I'd like for us to head towards the castle to get a spot to watch Cinderella's Wish! I've never seen this before so I'm pretty excited!
After that we will probably just make our way towards the exit. The park closes at 7 for MVMCP, but we will not be attending this night. Instead, we'll be hopping on the monorail (my first time!) to the Poly to head to Ohana!



I was able to get an ADR for 7:50p. Ohana has been on my Disney bucket list pretty much since the moment I read about it. All the menu items sound right up our alley. I know these days it gets mixed reviews, but I'm hoping we'll have a good service! Realistically, does anyone know how long it would take to get on the monorail and get to the Poly?

I highly doubt we'll be able to catch the fireworks from the Poly (both because of timing and the construction I've heard about), so maybe we will look around the resort a little before hopping back on the monorail to MK to catch the bus back to our hotel and call it a night ​

I really enjoyed Crystal Palace. And we are trying Ohana for the first time this year too. I am so excited to go there.
Your day sounds great!

 

[KelleyK75]

Sounds like a fun day at MK! I love Crystal Palace and we go there every trip. If you are one of the first ones in, it's possible you might be out by rope drop. It really depends how quickly you eat and when the characters get to you. I haven't done that early ADR at CP, but did at H&V in March and we checked in at 8:00 and was completely finished eating and meeting all of the characters by 8:40.

We saw the FoF parade twice in March, but never from Frontierland. We had the FP+ for one viewing, and then sat on Main Street for another. I've heard it's less busy in Frontierland, but can't speak from experience. I always like to have the castle in the background of my pictures so I've always sat on Main Street.

Talking Mickey is really cool!!! He talked with my nephews about spinning in the teacups and it was too cute!!

P.S. I re-ordered the blind bag keychains....I am hoping they get it right this time.

 

[khertz]

Great MK plans!!

I can't help you on the FOF plans since we watched from Main Street, but OMG you are going to LOVE IT! The livestream was exciting, but it's absolutely nothing like seeing it in person.

 

[Fantazmickey]

I just found your PTR and am excited to follow along. We will be there in November too, at WDW the 11th - 17th.

 

[MrsAyres]

I'm really hoping you'll do a TR because there are a lot of things you're planning that we're hoping to hit on our trip - I'd love to get your perspective on them!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear good things about CP and the fact that maybe there's a chance we won't be out as late as I imagine.

I don't blame you for wanting the castle in the background of your pics

Yay I can't wait to see Talking Mickey either!

Glad you re-ordered the bags, can't wait to hear what you get!
