I'm in a panic-Going thanksgiving week--no ressies

[punkin]

My sister just called that she got a condo in Orlando for thangsgiving weeek and would we come? Of course I said yes (free hotel-how could I refuse) but now we have no ressies (my younger daughter is a cindy freak-I need that breakfast) what would you guys suggest for ressies-we'll be there 11/23-11/30. I already called for the Epcot princess breakfast-no availability the whole week. I'll call for Cindy tomorrow and the day after (wish me luck). Other than that I absolutely need thanksgiving day dinner for 7 people. We are very adventurous in our tastes. What would you suggest?

If you couldn't get the Storybook Princess breakfast for that week, GOOD LUCK getting Cindy's!

I would get on the phone and start getting some PS... the waits for walk ups will be horrendous, and they will likely be turning people away. Also, you may run into the fact, that all of the good times to eat will be taken. Counterservice lines will be hideous, as well!

Good luck to you... you may need it!

If you call a CM, they will be very helpful and look up several restaurants for Thanksgiving.

I have good news for you about the Storybook Princess Breakfast. On Tues., Nov 26 I'm holding 2 PS for a total of 9 seats, and I don't need it. We're going to use the PS I made for the 29th. Just send me a private message.

Travelitis: I sent you a pm. Thank you so much. If this works out, my children will be in seventh heaven.

eeyore0062: thank you for your wishes. I have the same chance for cindy as everyone else since I will be calling 60 days out, but the epcot breakfasts have been booked since 120 days.

I, too, am in the same predicament for the next week. We are going Nov. 30 - Dec. 4. For 2 weeks now, I have called every day (hoping there might be some cancellations) but still have nothing but one PS (lunch at Hollywood & Vine). I thought the week after Thanksgiving was supposed to be one of the best weeks in the year to go, in terms of low crowds. That's certainly not what I've found in trying to make PS's!!! Maybe the secret is out! Good luck (& wish me a little luck too!)

I send you oodles and ooodles of pixie dust (don't you know the more you give out, the more you have left for yourself)

I sent you a message with something better than pixie dust - a PS for the Storybook Princesses on Tues. the 26th. Enjoy!

When we went a few years ago, we had the same problem. We did get seats at a buffet at the Dolphin/Swan for Thanksgiving dinner. The place was Huuuugggeee so it wasn't an intimate family gathering but the food was terrific and there were characters. It was pretty expensive but certainly a different way to celebrate.

I was so tired of counter service dinners that I called for PS and asked them to just tell me what was available - didn't care what time or place. We got 'Ohanas at an early time.

You can all congradulate me. I got Cindy ressies for Friday after thanksgiving. I had my husband, my sister, my brother in law and me all on the phone this morning. I'm the only one who got thru (I think cell phones work better).

I also got Boma for Thanksgiving day dinner (at a decent time, but they split up our party to 2 tables). I am very happy. My 9 yr old was jumping up and down for joy this morning and my 3 yr old said "I knew you could do it mama" (so cute) My niece has never been before (to WDW I mean) and she's a real Princess (particularly Cinderella) fanatic, so I can't wait to see the look on her face.
