Feel free to critique...

Sat. 11/3-Arrival Day
Check in and explore Poly (grab something at Capt. cook's if hungry)
Dinner: Mickey's Backyard BBQ
(I know it gets mixed reviews, but I think it will be a good fit for our family-DS3 gets to see Mickey and Goofy ASAP, DH gets beer, DD16 gets Mickey bars)

Sun. 11/4-Magic Kingdom
B: in room
L: CS
D: Cinderella's Royal Table


Mon. 11/5-Epcot
B: in room
L: CS
D: Teppan Edo

Tues. 11/6-Hollywood Studios
B: Starring Rolls
L: Toy Story Pizza Planet (for my son, we know not to expect much as far as the pizza goes)
We want to be here for RD and leave in the late afternoon so hubby and I can celebrate our 5th Anniversary with a date night at Epcot's Food and Wine Festival
So kids will eat dinner at Capt. Cook's and we will eat around the World Showcase.

Wed. 11/7 Resort/Downtown Disney
Hang at the resort pool, relax, rent sea raycers (or possibly nurse a Food & Wine Hangover).
Head to Downtown Disney,
D: Wolfgang Puck Express

Thurs. 11/8 Epcot
B: at resort
L: CS
D: Via Napoli
Or....possibly make VN lunch and then hop somewhere else (but really could only go to MK because DHS and Ak close early this day) hmmmmm
Or maybe go to DHS early to hit a few rides. It may have low crowds due to the early closing time then hop to Epcot and have dinner at VN????

Fri. 11/9 Magic Kingdom
Pre-Opening Breakfast at Crystal Palace
Tour, Tour, Tour (take advantage of low crowds early in day prior to MVMCP)
Get out of dodge before MVMCP crowds arrive!
D: O'hana
Watch Holiday Wishes from Poly

Sat. 11/10 Animal Kingdom

This is the Sat. of Jersey Week and Veteran's Day Weekend so AK should be a safe bet to beat some of those crowds.
B: Tusker House
Our evening is open. I could leave it open (just eat CS so we can do whatever we want that evening) or book an ADR, maybe Whispering Canyon Cafe because we would like to check out Wilderness Lodge Or maybe head to the Boardwalk

Sun. 11/11 Departure Day
B: O'hana (say good-bye to Mickey

Awesome! I can't seem to get mine together. I thought it would be a piece of cake once the hours were out. Maybe I'll put it away & come back tomorrow....

I hope they are solid...... They are from the disney travel agents site. Usually this site is more accurate than anywhere else I've seen, even the WDW site. The WDW site is notorious for errors and late postings/updates. The TA site is pretty dead on every time.

Thank you!!! Sounds good to me!!!

It's been a while since I've been here and just wanted to check in. Well we had moved our November trip to January, but we are now booked for June 4 - 8 at the Pop Century. Have they announced any good discounts for November dates yet? I am still planning on us going in January, even if the DH isn't. Right now I'm working on a scarf idea that I had for the trip. One side of the scarf will be a solid color and the other side will be stripes. At each end will be a Mickey head. The MH on the solid side will be stripes and the MH on the stripes side will be solid. I have figured out how to make one side solid and one side stripes, and how to make a pattern (even if it's just a square for now) in it. Now I just need to add the pattern with the solid and stripes side and I can begin knitting my January trip scarf.

Happy November planning to all, and may the November discounts be big and cover the entire month.

Aw I am sorry you moved your trip!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I too am assuming for planning purposes that AK's hours are 9-5 except for EMH which has it opening at 8am.

I think I am going to request a day off so I can book my ADR's on May 29th. I have time to use up I was looking into upgrading to AKL if we get FD. I need to check prices and Iv always wanted to stay there

Less than a month until ADRs can be made! Everything seems to be moving along great and now I just need to move a couple things around to fit in with the posted hours. I'm having difficulties pinning down a couple of ADRs and thought you veterans could help out . I have 3 dinner options with only 2 slots:

Ohana (schedule late enough to see Wishes OR Electrical Water Pageant)
Cape May Clambake (husband and oldest son would be in seafood heaven)
Whispering Canyon (kids would love their silly antics/could also see Wishes etc.)

Also.... we will be celebrating 2 of our DS birthdays while we are there and I plan to order a celebration cake to be delivered to the restaurant. With these 3 dining options there are 3 different bakeries involved. Ohana (GF bakery), CM (YC bakery), and WC (CR bakery). I don't know how many of you have visited the cake thread but they are amazing. I would really love to work with CakeMan Brian (CR) on this cake idea. H~E~L~P

TIA

Good morning ya'll.

The shout out was heard mommyof3.

I have been running 90 to nothing lately and have even missed the release of the November hours. HEY THE SMILIES HAVE BEEN MOVED AROUND. Now I'm the one going into push mode with deciding on my ADRs. I admit it........I have gotten quite a few giggles from ya'll and your ADR plans. Now ya'll can laugh at me as I scramble.

Thank you so much.

Understandable. We prefer Dulles ourselves, but they want more money and no non-stop to MCO, so since we have someone who is taking us/picking us up and is familiar with all 3 airports in the area, we opted for National

 

[pirategirl34]

ok, now that the hours are out and I can get down to planning, I have a question for all the super planners. I am seeing that MK is closing at 7 on. thurs the 15th and fri the 16th. are there back to back MVMCP those two days? I don't recall ever seeing that the week before thanksgiving before?

They used to do Th/Fri parties a lot, so that doesn't surprise me.

I am SO EXCITED to see your tentative schedule! We are going the exact same days!!! I may just copy off of you a little bit! We are staying at the Beach Club (our first time there) and are excited to be at Epcot's back door. We went 2 years ago during Jersey Week and the crowds were a BIT larger than the first time we went that was NOT Jersey Week, but it still beats the crowds and the heat of summer!
