Not sure if it is due to the dining plans or not, but I do think all the added restaurants at DS are forcing Dis restaurants in parks and resorts to up their game. That is a good thing. We stayed at OKW last trip and the ability to get to DS was a big reason why, and also why we are going to stay there next spring.

Now if only the Riveria Restaurants can up the game for the Gondola side of Epcot/Studios.

Well, I think when DDP was a deal, it forced the restaurants to lower options to accommodate. Now that people on the DDP are paying more than people paying cash, they can expand the offerings a little again.

Where and when are you wanting to stay and with how many people. I can look up the rate. PM me if you want.

Thanks for the help @Tigger's ally !!! I am now an AP!

Glad that they have come back to Cinderella!

We're down here now and let me tell you ...no one really knows that it's up yet I think. I had to fight no one to get an unobstructed pic of it! It was great!

I. was there last year over Halloween week. Literally the decor went from Halloween one day and overnight became Christmas. It was totally unbelievable! An army of people must have worked tirelessly.

Same happened on November 1. I was going to take a few photos of the Halloween decorates but they were all gone and replaced with Xmas decorations

I ‘m not sure that the two compete with each other. It’s not exactly convenient to make a choice between a resort or park TS versus DS. I think the offerings at DS are more a way of trying to generate traffic and convince people that it’s worth the trip.

A lot of people will primarily eat the quick service options and save the big meals for only a select few during the trip. Springs offerings definitely appeal to that group, especially since the parks are severely lacking (with exceptions) in the quality table service aspect.

The change happens overnight Oct 31-Nov 1 every year.

Yep. Obviously from my avatar, I am huge fan of OKW and the proximity to the dining options at DS. We stayed there for two weeks earlier this year and plan to go back in a couple of years after the current park construction projects are completed.

My mom is a big Dooney person but she can’t justify buying a holiday Dooney since you can only really use it for a limited amount of time.

That is how I am. I love Christmas and I love Dooney purses, but that’s a lot of money for such a short time. I really wanted the 20th Anniversary of Animal Kingdom purse, but it was sold out when I went in May.

You're most certainly welcome. We rotate often between my wife being and AP holder to me being one depending on our plans and it does save money if you use it wisely.

Congrats on your splurge and hope it got you that great rate at AKL for your trip.

I showed my wife the new pattern and her response was “oh, that’s cute! I don’t need it” - and her reasoning was just that she would only get to use it for a limited time. Plus she already has a Nightmare Before Christmas one that she uses for the fall and holiday season

Actually, at MK, it's the night of the last MNSSHP. Last year, the last party was on November 1, so the switch over happened that night. We were there for the party and to see the park the next day. It was pretty cool.

So is everyone else having trouble with the desktop website version of the MDE app? I haven't been able to see my plans online for two days - works fine on the phone app... which is a huge relief with a trip coming up fast....

It's been worse than usual lately. I noticed that I can see my plans if I log in right before clicking on 'My plans'; otherwise it doesn't work.

I just keep getting the "Please come back later...." error. Very frustrating.
