messaged you

Okay, now i'm just dying... I must be the cat that curiosity killed!

Is there some uber-secret something-or-other going on???? What's with all the requests for a PM??? If i should just butt out and mind my own business, I can, but I am curious.

Okay .... wanting to try an alcoholic beverage while at Epcot and looking for suggestions?!? Would like something fruity and on the weak side (not a real drinker). Leaning towards the Grand Marnier Orange Slushie in France!!!

It is really good, but it can be a little strong. Kinda like the kool-aid drinks you dont realize how much till you try to get up. I say go for it.

I had one of those last summer. It was Ok. weak, but I didn't think it was orangey enough for me.

Last week when free dining pin codes were emailed out I asked my husband to check his email to see if we had one. Granted I asked him this at 1am when he was half asleep, but this is important! We have a trip booked already from November 28-December 6.

This morning he emails me the free dining pin code email! It's been sitting there for a week, just waiting to be used. I could have strangled him for making me think we wouldn't get one but I'm so excited that I'm already over it.

We were able to apply the free dining to all 3 rooms at POFQ that were linked for our family trip. Two of the rooms saved $950 and the other saved $1200! Since you all know how exciting this is, I had to share. I'm hoping everyone who wants it gets FD!!!

Jersey week is the week of election day. The blackout starts Friday 11/2.

Ok thanks. Guess we'll just miss Jersey week.

Well crud! Just tried making the rest of my ADR's and can't get it to link my resort reservation. I just *hate calling in, I like seeing all my options in front of me then choosing.

Happened to me this morning too! mine just opened up today, went online to do them, and BAM -- no go! Ugly red message saying the couldn't link me up. Very frustrating. I ended up calling to have a CM help me with the ones I knew I wanted to get. Then i called back (to technical support this time) because it was still not working. Nice lady told me it is a known back-end issue they are having. She tried to do something to get it to work for me, but in the end she could not. Very annoying because I cannot even see what's available for the rest of my trip.

Anyway, you're not alone!

Count me in too....I have a feeling we are going too early in the holiday season though. Maybe we will get lucky and be there for the soft opening and be able to score a walkup. WISHFUL THINKING

Im hoping for the same! n I swear I twist everything into being a positive sign for our week MVMCP is not starting until Friday the 9th previous years there were parties Tue & Wed if I remember correctly. So as to give visitors a chance to be there without being blocked out by party nites???? F&W extended a day. Spread the crowds out???

Now bf I get jumped on for my rationalizations I know they are completely irrational but makes me feel positive LMAO

It was a long call with Disney, but the CM found a code for me and now I don't have to call them again!

Who ever said it was right... dreams do come true!

CONGRATS!! I have to admit I had been the stalker of my DH DD & DS's email accounts for awhile. NO WAY was I trusting them not to delete a pin!!

Good Morning all! Just wanted to extend a big HELLO! Dh & I are surprising our princess for her first trip on her 5th birthday!! As a lil update I definitely DO NOT have FD :-( We do have 10% off (yay). My ADR is for this Saturday & I'd love your very valued opinions. So here it goes!
Thursday 11/29 arrive POR Royal Garden View Room around 11. We'll do CS either in the food court or DTD. I'm making an ADR for early dinner 4:30 @ 1900PF then taking the monorail to MK for MVMCP!
Friday 11/30 MK day(dd's actual bday) 8:00 BBB, 9:15 CRT(which will be OOP). Lunch & dinner is depending if BOG is open if thats the case - CS in MK than dinner @ BOG 6:00. If not then CMC @ 7:00.
Saturday 12/1 Epcot day only ADR will be AKR 6:30 (we will be doing a break today too). Lunch will also be in Epcot before our break.
Sunday 12/2 Epcot day ADR for CR 6:30 (also break after CS lunch in Epcot)
Monday 12/3 departure day though we will be able to hit AK for a few hours in the morning before ME picks us up!
Any opinions are welcome! I picked the spots since my daughter IS a princess ( and she will tell you that) and we also love seafood.
Hoping for some FD *pixie dust*

Ok looks good BUT if you can make CRT for 930 just in case. the lady I talked to yesterday said it takes about an hour to do BBB with pics.... thats cutting it close. And I hope you have better luck with CR then I did... they dont have any ressies open because they are holding them all for Candlelight Processional packages
I also messaged you

 

[momto2inKC]

Okay, ADR's are almost all done. I really hate that they hold all tables back at Le Cellier, Coral Reef, Rose & Crown and Garden Grill. Those are the places we like the most at Epcot.
Fri 11/23 none
Sat 11/24 lunch @ Yak & Yeti
Sun 11/25 none (hoping for one of the Epcot places not available)
Mon 11/26 lunch @ Tonys, dinner @ Kona
Tues 11/27 dinner @ Sci Fi
Wed 11/28 dinner @ 'Ohana
Thurs 11/29 dinner @ Cape May (will change to an Epcot one if available later)
Fri 11/30 Fantasmic package @ Mama Melrose
Sat 12/1 breakfast before park opening @ Crystal Palace (love those early breakfast!)
Yak & Yeti, Cape May and Mama Melrose are new to us. Hoping Be Our Guest is opened so I can fit it in 11/23.

 

[stacielee]

ETA I would love that message too!!

Can you please PM me too?

messaged you

Oh, it's the FB group... got it!!

And I'm also hoping for FD in November. I don't think I've ever gotten a pin code before so not sure what I need to do that makes it more certain that I get one. Any ideas??? Help??

 

[pmama]

No luCk for me either. Have called only twice though.

 

[mommyof3princess27]

First, I have to ask, what is this PM you all speak of??

I'm here!! I feel special to have been missed! I've been so busy that it's been hard to get online, and this thread moves so fast that when I do, I can't keep up!! During the day I can only get on when I'm on my lunch break (30 min) and it takes longer than that to catch up on reading!

How are you feeling? Did I see that you finally got FD? Inquiring minds want to know!

Now bf I get jumped on for my rationalizations I know they are completely irrational but makes me feel positive LMAO

I do the same thing!

What is this Disney Forums Reader for Android and where can I get it?

Your schedule looks great!

This is the Dis..I say start a new thread for those that cant get ADRs to plan our Storming of the Castle!!

That is something I did not want to hear, LOL. We have our trip planned out to do one day with F/W and then one day without F/W to enjoy EPCOT without the massive crowds getting sloshed. Now both EPCOT days will be F/W based

Oh no! Any way you can move some stuff around? I know that is a pain, but there might be something you can do.

Does anyone know if they are offering FD to just the ones who have visited before or to anyone? I am a 1st timer Anyone going for the 1st time getting FD? I'm beginning to think I'll have to wait until it goes to the GP

It doesn't matter if it's your first time, but you can increase your chances of getting by signing into the Disney site, sign up for all the news letters, order planning DVDs, order the free maps, save some vacation offers, etc. Good luck!!

I was in the middle of printing and I think I broke my printer! The ink box came up and said it doesnt recognize my ink so I took it out and stuck a pen in it and now it wond print black.... Guess Ill have to buy a new one! Thats what I get for going the cheap way and buying the cheaper version

Oh no!!! I've been burning up my printer too! Disney meal invitations, tip envelopes, itineraries, etc.
