November 2012 Code Watch!!

[exwdwcm]

wow, i've missed like the last 20 pages! LIFE took over. My coworker in Ohio was laid off, so I am doing all her work now, plus mine. You know how that goes, double the work, same pay! Anyhow, super swamped at work, which is when I usually check in on here.

Hoping some huge discounts or free dining come out for you folks soon!!!! Glad to hear some have been successful with PINs.

Just wanted to pop in and say hi! I've been posting on the FB group, but not here as much.

Subscribing!

We went in November of 2010 with FD, and it was wonderful! Hoping for that again for our next trip

OK and forgive me if this has already been discussed (150 some pages of posts... yikes!) but does it seem that Disney is offering their deals earlier this year than previous years?

 

[mydisneyobsession]

Really? That's encouraging. I've been holding off booking because I'm afraid that I would never get a PIN. I might book for AoA right now. I know that discounts will not apply, but I also know that those rooms will be filling up soon. We can always switch later. If I had no $ worries (HA) I would stay at Poly. I've always wanted to stay there!

I can't stand the suspense... Did you book yet?

I'm not sure I'd say that. I think Aug/Sept free dining came out a tad earlier than some years, but last year they had that first run for 2011 that came out in fall 2010. I also think that with the biggest piece of the Fantasyland Expansion opening late this year, all bets are off. I'd LOVE if an offer came out today, but I'm thinking they'll hold off as late as possible to see how many rooms they can fill first without discounts. I'm really hoping the high price of airfare and gas will hold the bookings down and necessitate some deals.

Last year's Oct/Nov/Dec FD was announced the first week of August. So I'm bracing myself for a long wait.

Hi everyone!

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to post, but I've been following along.

For those of you with touring plan subscriptions, I received some emails this week saying some best park/worst park and crowd levels were changes for the week before and after Thanksgiving.

I could have sworn FD for November was released in May last year because I remember thinking, "WOW! This is early!" when I booked it for my boss. Then again, I could be totally crazy! Either way, I'm cautiously optimistic FD will be offered again this year.

So...I am working on a license plate game for the kids to do on our 11 hour drive to Disney. I'll be happy to share once I'm done. It's just a simple "find all the plates" list, but I am trying to find pictures of plates from each state.

I made the kids' pressed penny tubes last night also. I just love Donatalie's designs. I'm slowly adding to my Disney box.

Well, hope everyone has a great day!

 

[Happy Mom2]

ONLY 55 DAYS til I make our ADRs!!!!

The only free dining for November booked as early as May last year would have been by pincode or bounceback. The first GP offer was early August.

Hi all.
Now, I know quite a number of us will be attending MVMCP this winter. What about CP at Epcot? We did it twice before and both times, we made sure to have a CP lunch or dinner package so we could get preferred seating. Do any of you do the same? Your thoughts on CP at Epcot?

I am FREAKING OUT!! I have lost ALL of my Disney stuff... itinerary, ADR plan, picture itinerary, t-shirt designs, travel plans, packing list, to do list, etc. EVERYTHING! I had it all on a flash drive, which I am VERY careful with. I ALWAYS put it back in the same place, but it wasn't there last night! I couldn't find it anywhere. The flash drive is very large and some times DH uses it for work or something, but he swears he hasn't touched it. I worked so hard on all that stuff! I am going to cry if I can't find it.

Anyway, I'm upset. DH just looked at me like I had two heads for being so upset, but I knew you guys would understand.

 

[Smileybug]

Hey ya'll.

Looks like everyone is busy with Disney plans.



Happy Mom2......My heart actually aches for you. I sure hope you find the flash drive.

Ooohhh! Sounds like there might be a very SLIM chance that I won't have to wait until August for November/December FD offers! Here's hoping for some for those of us waiting!

First off - try and relax. When you are not looking for it is probably when you will find it. That's usually what happens to me. Also, once you are relaxed you are able to think clearly so that you can think back to when you had it last and go from there.

My flash drive is smaller and I had the same problem last week. I always keep my flash drive plugged in the computer here in the living room. DH and I were working on a file upstairs in our room this time and I had taken the flash drive with me so we could work on it. The next day I went looking for it and couldn't remember where I put it. I have files on there that pertain to a group trip to Lancaster, PA that DH and I are the organizers for. So I "needed" that info. I looked on DH's nightstand and mine with no luck. I took a chance and looked under my side of the bed and low and behold there it was. Phew!

I hope you find them!!! I'd be freaking out too!

we received a 20% off room pin code for nov and I don't know if I should book now or not. I can't for the life of me figure out where to put a pin code online to play with numbers. I would by far prefer free dining or for them to extend the 40% military discount UGH I don't know what to doooooooo

(we're looking to go nov 30th -dec 7th)
