NOVEMBER 2012 Trip Planners Part 2~yes there IS another!

[mommyof3princess27]

That's perfect! She'll love being there fresh from BBB.



I can't wait to see what you do to them!



Good morning!

----------------

OK, we had no intention of MVMCP or Wishes Dessert Party. Now, I'm considering both. What can you experts who've been to either or both tell me about them? Awesome? Worth it? If you've done both, which is better? Talk me into or out of them? No little ones here. Our baby will be 13 on this trip. Help me decide!

We did both last trip and on the same night. I wouldnt hesitate to do both this trip! We are already doing MVMCP and if the DP is offered we will schedule it too! Alot of ppl say its a waste on a party niht but if thats the only time its offered for our trip. Ill do it. YOu get a beautiful view of the castle and you can watch it changing colors while eating your desserts( which if you like sweets...you will LOVE this! The choco covered strawberries are HUGE! and soooo yummy! ) MVMCP is neat, you have to atleast see in once. We loved the fireworks, and the parade. And to see it snow on Main St.... is Its so neat!

I just checked Airtran and flights are $468 each way pp?!?!? Why so freakin expensive???? We are holding out fo SW but jeez!

What is up with Airtran?!!! They used to be the cheapest for me but I checked their price yesterday. $410 one way. I can't do $800+ per person.

I just placed an order for my shirts through Jiffy shirts I got kahki ones for Animal Kingdom and then the white for the Tie-dye mickey heads and then I am doing my DD a minnie shirt

They do have womens V neck t-shirts. Now I'm going to have to decide what I want to do.

But if you look at October, they have 3 or 4 coach prices listed and for november they only have 1...maybe more to come

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all having a great weekend. Time to start planning movie nights!

I will be curious to see how SW shakes out for everyone tomorrow. I know I went JetBlue since it was within the budget I had set for tickets, and I have flown with them before and had no issues.

If the SW tickets tomorrow are less than $380 round trip for 2 people, I will kick myself, as that is what we "paid" on JetBlue. (We actually paid $480 but that was because I delayed getting them, so that was my fault)

I was able to get our flights on JB for a little less than $220 pp RT incl tax. Only reason DH agreed to a Christmas Time trip since we were just there in March.

Wishing everyone good luck tomorrow with SW

Good morning, everyone!

We were going to make some tie dye shirts with the kids this weekend to test how they came out before I make our Disney ones, but I still need a couple things so I guess we will do them next weekend.

Since DH is outside with the kids while they swim, I'm guess I'm going to work on my daily itineraries.

Last time we went I to Disney I purchased a large crossover bag, but I'm not really happy with it. A backpack is not an option...for me, anyway.

I've thought about purchasing a Vera Bradley hipster, but I'm not sure that would work either because there aren't very many pockets. I like my stuff to be organized.

I've seen this bag recommended also. Most of the reviews are good. It's affordable, and I wouldn't have to worry about it getting wet. It also has lots of pockets to keep stuff organized. The only bad reviews stated that the straps snagged their clothes on the shoulder....

http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/piazza-day-bag/94553?productid=1237311

And I think these are just adorable (she does custom orders for all different characters), but I'm not sure I want to pay that much for something I would only use at Disney. I think they are between $100 - $125, but I'm not sure...

Any thoughts, suggestions? What do you carry to the parks?

I was just in Disneys online store looking at the coffee mugs. I want them all.

I have this one by baggallini and LOVE IT! Its not too small and not too big. I have green and black(though use the black the most) it holds tons and is very comfy too! I put the money/meds/cards in the middle zipper and in the big part I had snacks, maps, and what not. They have another style thats a little more pricey but they have more colors http://www.ebags.com/product/baggal...le-nylon/47360?productid=10001433&rlid=DETAIL

Your last link, I messaged her and though they are pretty, they are PRICEY!!!

Yay!! I finally figured out how to get my ticker posted! Here's a question, I wanted a reservation for dinner at the Biergarten, but couldn't fit it in my schedule, so I made a lunch reservation. Does anyone know if there is much of a difference other than dinner having a few more options on the buffet? I am eating at 1:45 then heading over to MVMCP that evening, we want to fill up before the party! So excited to eat there!!

 

[Smileybug]

I have a baggallini cross over bag in black. And I love it because DH carries it when we are in Disney!! Mine is more slimline than the ones ya'll have posted. I have had it for a while and do not have a link for it.

 

[disjenne]

This may be a crazy question but here goes.. .. I love the tip envelopes. But we are traveling with a large group and will have the automatic 18% added I assume. This will be put on our card. I would still like to leave a token of Disney thanks on the table. Is there anything out there like this? What are your plans for this if traveling with a group? TIA!

I have this Baggallini too, in black i've used it for several years and theres not a bit of wear and tear. It's a very well made bag. My husband will even carry it, which is why i went with a neutral color.
I also have a Victorias Secret Pink backpack that i use. It has a drawstring top and is very light weight .
For this trip i'm planning on buying one of the new Small World themed Lesportsacs. They are super cute!!

 

[mommyof3princess27]

my neighbors husband who we will call Joe (who I never really talk to but they have been to Disney tons of times) and I were talking about Fantasmic the other night and I said how I cant figure out how to put that and T-Rex into our schedule. He said that he would drop T-Rex in a heartbeat for F!. I wasnt sure(something didnt sit right with me. I knew if I kept thinking about it I would figure it out) Well Joe went home and told his wife who we will call Mandy(who I do talk to alot) that he could NEVER go on a vaca where everything was planned like that. Now my other neighbor, Jen told me that Mandy told her thats what Joe said and they all laughed and I told her Im not obsessed, I just like to plan where we eat our TS meal and which park that day but beyond that...nothing. My sister in law went to Disney 2 yrs ago and had NOTHING planned at all and they came back and told me I was right to plan everything, Now Joe did tell me that next time they go, he will do the Dining plan. So maybe they are just 'wing it' ppl. not me!!!!

Now let me see if I can explain this right lol.... In 2010 we had a group of 10, 7 were on a dining plan and 3 were not. They paid oop. Now my family of 5 and then my brother and his wife were on the Dp. The bottom of our receipt HAD the tip automatically put on it.(usually around $20 for some reason lol) and each check had a tip and it actually did say pay this amount before you leave or something along that lines. It might have been total due, but still. If you were going to do something like an enevelope, you can still do that as its due for your family before you leave. How many do you have on your check? When we went in Dec, it was just DH and I and our tips were about $10-$13 so I imagine itll be around $20-$25 a meal. I think I will plan for $25 and then if its extra-yay me.

I like the organization of the baggallini, but I don't like that it lies on your back for security reasons. Is it possible to carry it on the side? Any other suggestions?

 

[mommyof3princess27]

Anyone eaten in CRT before and can answer a question? I heard the CM say gratuity IS included in this meal?
