What is MSEP?

Maybe.....Main Street Electrical Parade??

 

[mommyof3princess27]

Omg! you guys are so good with your plans!

I haven't even thought about it yet.
It's only DH and I so it will low key.

Well even if its low key, you should still get some ADR's if you wanna eat at any TS restuarants. When it was just DH and I, I waited til Sept to make ADR's for us and we left in Dec I couldnt find too much. But we did try the Grand Floridian Cafe(which I recommend) and Sci-Fi-which we loved too!

makes sense... Thanks.

I'm planning on doing Chef Mickey's on an MK day, I don't want to miss the MSEP, what time does it start? What time should I make my Chef M ressie?

Oh let me know if my calculation is right....... I can start on May19th making my first ressie right?????? My first dinner will be Nov.15

My first ADR is Nov. 24th and I was told that I could schedule them starting on may 18th.

What is your scheduled date mommyof3? Now I want to make sure mine is right.

I will get a move on it. We thought the GF Cafe was nice also.
I think we're going to a few places that aren't the most popular except for the new restaurant in MK Fantasyland.

Joining in over here....I had posted a couple of times in the previous thread. Love seeing all these dates, info and excitement about The World. We are still holding on to our reservation for this November....I'm going to make ARDs on the 15th and pray that this will all work itself out and we're still able to take this trip.

If not....we will be celebrating with LOTS of family in November 2013 - and I will survive

On another note, I did call last week to make a change and had THE BEST CM. She mentioned that free dining was a "good possibility" for November and that I should check back soon. Fingers crossed that is a good sign for all of us!

 

[blackdogg]

Is anyone making anything for their trip? I mean above and beyond planning journals...

I plan on making:
Tie-dye mickey shirts
Animal Kingdom shirts
pressed penny holders
hair bows to match DD #3 outfits(since she is only 4, I can still get away with it lol)
I wanna make something Christmasy

I need to start this list although I'm more of a shopper than a crafter and by the way 4 is totally acceptable in my book bow wise... I have a nearly 5 & nearly 8 year old and they both still totally work the bow look I love it... plus it makes them easy to spot in crowds!

Did anyone notice (I'm certain you have) that Southwest is delaying the release date for flights scheduled after November 2? It's now into the first week of June..

I think they're doing this on purpose to drive me crazy....

The CM I spoke to last week said the same thing! She also said she suspected AoA will be included in any promos....but of course.....she couldn't guarantee! We switched from Pop to AoA (with AAA discount) and won't switch back...even for fd!

I don't think you have the right date. I arrive Nov 15th and my ADR date is MAk 19th. It should tell you at the top of the page when you view your ressie on the WDW website when final apymetn is due and when you can make ADR's.

I couldn't wait any longer....I booked our flight TO MCO on Southwest but went ahead and booked United for our return home. I got $78 flights!! I figure I want to get to Disney as fast as possible (non-stop flight) but can take my good sweet time getting back home! (We only have a just over an hour layover!)

I will be sewing for DD8 for this trip and doing tie dye shirts for DH and I. I was excited that my 8 year old still wants customs! I ususally do an outfit for her for each day as well as bows, but I think she is too old for the bows this time. I will probably be doing some simpler things than I have done in the past becuase she is growing up

Im going from BWI.... did you get your flights yet? I havent Im holding out for SW

Always hold out for SW..sometimes go out of Philly, but BWI is only slightly farther and the flight times are much better for us..since there are 11 of us, we need to plan carefully.

DO you like Fantasmic? Maybe do the MM fantasmic package on the day u have MM for lunch. Then maybe move the Pirate Cruise to the evening of your sons bday? If you dont do that, def do the wishes dessert party on his bday(if they offer it of course) Just suggestions...looks great though!


Does everyone have their ADR's listed in order of most important for when they make their ADR's? Right now mine look like this

Date Park ADR Time

They are in order from the first day of our stay on....should I rearrange them for the order I want to schedule them? Like Ohana, CRT and Tusker House first? I just HOPE and PRAY that I get Tusker House on the 4th day of our trip for breakfast. There are only a hand full that I would be really upset if I dont get them. I will have a group of 11 and if there is nothing open for 11, I will schedule in a party of 5, 4 and 2 if I have too! We dont mind not eating all together if we cant

Fantasmic! isn't really up there on our to do list. We've seen it twice, once with the package. I'd rather see Wishes

From what I can find with the Pirate & Pals cruise, it only runs Friday - Monday, so I am kinda stuck.

Thanks for the suggestions!

ADRs - I usually start with the hardest to get - CRT & work my way down from there in order of which we want to do most. DH & I sit at our computers across from one another & work our way through the list at our 180 day mark.
