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

[mommyof3princess27]

Got our party tickets too! MNSSHP- Nov 2 and MVMCP Nov 12! So excited!

Added you!

Tuesday night! Never do a Friday-too many locals learned that the hard way!

Thanks....I figured during the week would probably be best due to locals.

Were you able to work it out with your ADRs? We are renting DVC as well, so I am curious.

Thanks!

Mostly, thankfully! They are all within an hour of where I want them (only really mind that I missed out on the elusive 8:05 CP, but that might have more to do with only being a party of 2 than when I called). Now I know for next time if I'm staying DVC to call instead. Still frustrated, but alls well that ends well... almost off work, cancelled my lesson for the day and I will SLEEP.

Glad you got most of what you wanted!

So I have to call instead of putting in my reservation number?

I tried to get the tickets for the 2nd online and it says not for sale until Nov 2. Do I just need to call instead?

 

[Smileybug]

Just bought tickets for Nov. 27th!!

You may not have to, but it sounds like its been a common problem lately. I'm not an owner, I just rented points, but even now I can't make reservations online further than 180 even though I can see my DVC reservation and all the ones we made over the phone today as well.

So am I the only crazy one not doing a party?

We will be there the 3rd-11th so the only option would be MVMCP on Friday Nov. 9th. That would be the first party and a Friday night of a holiday weekend. I just think it will be crazy crowded and I don't want to pay extra to deal with those crowds. I saw pics from last year's sold out parties and got a bit scared.

Thanks, that makes me feel better about my decision

I talked to DH and we decided to just go ahead and order tickets for the 15th! they are officially on their was, and we can make ADRs in 2 and a half weeks.trip is coming together!

 

[piglet925]

Can I have some opinions? We're going Nov 10th thru the 18th and want to go to MVMCP. So, our options would be Monday the 12th(Veteran's Day), Thurs the 15th or Friday the 16th. We were thinking about the 15th, but I wonder what the 12th would be like? Thoughts??

 

[IlovemesomeGoofy]

DBF and I got our MVMCP tickets too!! We're going Nov 27th

Is it November yet???

 

[LaDonna]

we aren't going to the party, can't afford it really, this trip is already cost me way more than others have because of my kiddos ages now

 

[brandijo5]

Been spending all this time wishing for FD, and now I realize that if I get a 30% off code for WL, it would actually be about $300 less. Now I'm not sure what I want.

In the meantime, I am planning park days and ADR's and waiting on the in laws to decide if they like my suggestions or if they want to change them to something else. Will book over the weekend and prepare to make ADR's on the 15th!!!!

So... What would be a fun/special thing to do with my daughter on our trip? We are not doing a party or BBB. Any ideas??

Harmony Barbershop used to have a haircut with some pixie dust &/or temporary color for much, much less that BBB.

Watch Wishes from the Contemporary balcony (4th floor) or Poly beach. Music piped in both places.

Ride every type of transportation available!! - monorail, bus, boat, train, Dumbo (ok, using my imagination!)...

CRT meal

Pirate & Pal Fireworks cruise

Pressed Pennies - $.50 + penny - probably cheapest souvenir in WDW!

Somewhere on the dis I saw a scavenger hunt...there is also a scavenger hunt book - The Disney World Queue Line Scavenger Hunt: The Game You Play While Waiting In Line......$10 on amazon, got it & looks fun, I think you get it on a Kindle for about $3

Mickey leaves DS small gifts each day. Usually things from the $Store or clearance. Usually has something to do with our plan for the day...he'll get the scavenger hunt book the first day, new Disney PJs, birthday t-shirt, puzzles, glow sticks/bracelets, etc...

Passport in Epcot - get it signed by CMs from the various countries.
