November '08 ~ What Do You Mean It's Over? Should we plan another???

[KayleeUK]

Sounds like some of you have got some brilliant deals!!!!

I managed to get my flights at last so now on with the planning

 

[the_princess]

I'm there Oct. the 7th to Nov. the 5th, staying at POR...

WOOHOO! we may be changing our dates. We might get to go November 1st through the 8th instead of during Thanksgiving. They just released the proposed calendar for the next school year and I am so happy to see they changed the fall break to a different week from Thanksgiving week! WOOHOO! I'll let you know for sure later though.

Hi! Please add us to the list We are staying at the CR 11/7-11/12 MK view

 

[Bama mom to 3]

Okay, its official, we are changing dates. We will be there 11/1-11/8 instead of Thanksgiving week. When I went back and looked at the school calendar, it said that was the approved calendar so it looks like we will be there Jersey week. Which according to the Unofficial Guides website is still better than Thanksgiving, even if it is just by a smidging.

Welcome to all the newcomers!

If any of you are in need of a disney fix RUN to the Disney Store! Everything on sale was an additional 50% off and there was ALOT on sale. I got Isabella 2 costumes for $5 each!!!! Sleepers for the new baby were $3, my sis got an adult Mulan cotume for $7.50 and there was tons more. It was really crowded when I went, I'm going to go back today or tomorow.

That code seems to be a bit widespread this year.

I strongly feel if you ask the right questions, you may just get it. who knows?

 

[EllyLovesDisney]

More changes to the itinerary. Not the first, and far from the last.

We are now going Oct 20th-27, GF. The dates I had before were Sat - Sat and I hate traveling on the weekends. Plus, I would rather be home for Halloween so Isabella can ToT with her buddys. Although we are still going to go to MNSSHP, of course. We went two years ago and it was a BLAST.

I can't wait to start REALLY planning! Am I the only dork who has all her adrs ready to be called in?

Some fun stuff I want to do on this trip:

Cindys Breakfast. I have never been able to get this b/c I don't plan my trips far enough ahead. Until this time.

MNSSHP. Of course.

BBB for Isabella. She will finally be 3!

Wonderland Tea Party at Gf for Isabella. Unless I can't help myself and do the My Disney Girl tea party. I want to wait until she is older for that.

DH Golf.

Cabana rental at GF.

I can't wait!!!!!!

 

[Bama mom to 3]

I have most of my ADR's planned as well as back up ones in case I'm not able to get what I want when I want it. the only two I really hope to get without having to change them is the Breakfast at CRT and breakfast at Chef Mickeys. I am hoping to officially start our vacation with breakfast at the castle.

 

[Dawn68PA]

I have my ADRs ready but not my back-ups. I always like to have a back up restaurant or 2 in case I can't get in somewhere too.

 

[Bama mom to 3]

I ended up going to the Disney Store today. Its an hour away but I had to go to DH's college which is half way between here and there so I went on to that Disney Store. I got the kids each one of those toys you push the button on and it spins and lights up. That way I don't have to buy those down there. I also got them each a magic towel (wash cloth) to use while down there. Each one has a different character. I also got Zach and Becca POTC tee-shirts for 2.50 each. And I got Zach one that has Grumpy on it also. They dodn't have any in Blake's size so I didn't get him any. Our Disney Store also just got the lanyards in for pin trading so I went ahead and got each on the kids one of those.

[Dawn68PA]

Welcome Li!

Good deals on the shirts Bama! Can't sneeze at $2.50.

 

[Iggipolka]

Woohoo! I'm joining this thread because I just booked for November 9 - 15th for a solo trip. I'm currently staying at AKV Studio Savannah View, but I'm hoping to switch to the Boardwalk or Beach Club in April. If not, I'm totally happy at AKV. Heck, any place at Disney is great!

Nov 2007...wife 50...me 53...son 24...son's GF24 all went for first time...stayed at CSR with dining...MYW...this was GREAT!!!!!!!!!!

[KayleeUK]

Welcome all you new November'er's

I am just thinking of some ADR's now. Has anyone been to Liberty Tree Tavern? What are your thoughts?

 

[bdcp]

I've been trying to work out where we'll be each day and then ADR's based on that. I'm using the crowd level calendar but I want to wait til we get closer to 180 days before I firm up where we want to eat because the crowd level info can change. On our last trip, we decided that Ohana was a must do again, but with the menu changes, I'm not sure. I'm allergic to shrimp and avoid all shellfish/crustaceans so that does affect where we eat. Forunately, I'm not anaphylactic, but I do get very sick if I eat any shrimp at all. Definitely doing Crystal Palace for lunch and possibly Hoop De Doo since we have done the Spirit of Aloha already and want to do a dinner show. I have read lots of good reviews of LTT, but have never eaten there. Maybe Yak and Yeti, but we like Flame Tree and we usually only do one meal in AK because it's just not an all day park. Last trip we had one ADR everyday. I don't know that we'll do that this time, probably just 3-4 for the week. We plan on Kona one morning for Tonga Toast, but we discovered on our last trip that if you're there early enough, like before 8:15 or so, you don't need an ADR, especially during the week. Anybody else have any ideas for their ADR's?

 

[sdzman]

We just booked AS Music for Nov 9th -- Nov 14th .

We bought our FL Resident Play 4 Days Passes too.

I'll be watching for FL Resident codes to maybe upgrade to POFQ or CSR but for now we are on the Nov List.
