November 2011 Planning Thread CLOSED: See new planning thread

[twoplustwins]

Hi Everyone,

Need your opinions. Was looking at dining options last night and have an idea of what we want to do for dinning in general, but I'm looking for a good character breakfast and/or breakfast buffet to do. Already plan on doing Chef Mickey for dinner and have Boma planned for a breakfast buffet. I was leaning towards either Ohana because we're staying at Poly or Crystal Palace, but I'm leary on Crystal Palace because I know when we went in August it was packed at hard to manuever with a toddler in one arm and two plates in the free hand.

Anyone who has been during the Nov. 12th - 19th timeframe before know how crowded it is at Character meals. I think it would be less busy because kids are in school, but I've never been during that time before. Or maybe a place that isn't as crowded at breakfast with characters.

Thanks!!

Ohana might be nice since you are already at the Poly. Our favorite character meal was Tusker House in AK. We went for breakfast, I think it is called Donald's Safari Breakfast. The food was so good!!!!

Are the pins you all are starting to get being emailed? Or is there a standard room discount going on? We are tentatively going 11/17-11/24, but may do WDW 11/17-11/21 only, then Universal. Not sure yet.....PIN code will help us decide!

I just booked our trip this morning! It will be our first family trip. I can't wait.

ANJnMDS - Nov 12-18 @ Wilderness Lodge!

Ack! I just got a 40% off PIN code emailed to me today so I changed my reservations.

We'll be at WL still but we're staying 11/13-11/19.

I have to change my dates yet again...I got a 40% off PIN so I had to move the dates around (and I'm a bit sad that we won't be at the World ON my DDs 4th birthday...but I'm slowly getting over it based on the savings!!!)

SO - new dates (still doing a split stay at Universal):

Nov. 12 - 15 Royal Pacific
Nov. 15 - 19 Contemporary Resort

 

[MonkersMama]

We switched weeks and resorts from the PIN code (35%).

We'll miss DS's birthday too...but oh well, we can still celebrate it!

Nov 13-19 @ POFQ now.

 

[drakes]

We booked with the pin code...
Nov 13 - 19th POR

 

[ccstrickler]

We are booked for BLT Nov. 20-25. My DS and my 3rd trip, DDIL and DGDs first trip. Initiating the next generation. My DDIL is already talking about a second trip! We have a tentative idea of what and where we will be going, but waiting for EMH to be posted (any idea when?). I already have my lime green mickey heads.

 

[Waybuloo]

Ohhh can you please count us in?

We're heading to WDW 7-14th November

We spent the 11th November 2010 at Hong Kong Disney and now planning 11th November 2011 at WDW

Looking for some accom now

My boyfriend and I just booked our second trip! Going 10/30-11/6. I was hoping to get the same week we had last year but work schedule prevented this. Last year, we stayed the week before Thanksgiving and it was perfect. I have a feeling the week we scheduled will be busier.

Question: I LOVE Halloween though and since we will be there for Halloween, I'm thinking about getting tix to Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween. We don't have kids so I don't know it it would be worth it. I want to get candy and dress up though!

 

[disneysuncat]

My dates have changed, they are now 11/7-11/18. Still at the Poly.

 

[kstgelais4]

We are booked at Pop, Nov. 27-Dec.5!

 

[Shenandoah Minnie]

We are so excited to be coming back!! Woo-hoo!!!

 

[Shenandoah Minnie]

Thankfully I read the posts on this page and remembered I had a pin number and it expired today!!! Yikes!! So I booked POR for the second part of the trip with it! We are booked somewhere else for the first 3 nights!

 

[alicia080979]

Planning on booking today for Nov. 10-19. Are people getting pins via email or do you have to call Disney and ask about it?

 

[Shenandoah Minnie]

My pin# came through email. I have gotten them in the past through the mail too...

 

[Chrisvee]

My trip is scheduled for 11/15 thru 11/20. It's my 4th visit and I'm staying at the Boardwalk Inn for the first time. I usually do the Beach or Yacht Club.

 

[Pink Mouse Ears]

We'll be there the 11th-19th!!!



Just 8 short months!

ETA: staying at kidani

 

[dmlashultz]

We'll be staying in the Wilderness Lodge, Nov. 19-26. I hope we can deal with the crowds! I've never been to Disney this time of year.

We're now at 260 days out. I let myself come one the boards occasionally when I need a Disney shot in the arm. I decided we'll go back to our family "Friday Disney Breakfasts" to tide us over during the wait. Theme for tomorrow is "a favorite Disney memory".
