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

[LaDonna]

I would def. do LeCellier for lunch. The food is just as yummy but so much cheaper. If on Dining Plan it will only cost one credit while dinner costs 2.

ooh I didn't realize that thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just made my ADRs!!!! I'm so excited to go now!!!!!!! I booked 1 ADR online while on hold for a CM and then booked the rest by phone including Pirates League and Pirate Cruise. I got my MVMCP tickets a couple days ago. OK I really need to chill out and get to work.

The only thing I still need to book is a Fantasmic Dining on 11/9 for some reason the CM couldn't access that and one of my ADRs for dinner is at 4PM I will most likely change that. Everything else I'm thrilled with!!!!!

Thats great!!! I am so excited for you. November cant come soon enough. It seems like our trips are coming together. The only thing we need now is FD!!!

9 more days until I made adr's!!! but not looking forward to getting up at 7am on Saturday

Would any of these be just as good for lunch? I know prices are usually cheaper which means spending less on tips

Thursday 15th MK(8am-7pm) then CapeMay for dinner

Friday 16th AK(9-5) then Boma for dinner

Saturday 17th Epcot(9-9) LeCellier for dinner

Sunday 18th HS(9-8) SciFi Dine for dinner

I agree with Le Cellier for lunch its one credit cheaper. I always to Sci-Fi for lunch!!! Love it!!!

Made our ADR's this morning for most of the trip (had a couple I could not make yet as they were past the +10 mark) and was able to get everything we wanted Just have to get our MVMCP tickets, book a little golf when that opens up and watch for the Wild Africa Trek to get closer to our trip.

I need to book some golf too! Not for me though for my dad and grandparents. It opens at 90 days right? They are playing on that 9 hole course as its included in the Waterpark and more stuff. I already have my mvmcp tickets and just need our flights! It will be wierd when everyones ADR's are made for November.....how will we pass the time til its time to pack??

I am planning our first off-site trip, which will also be our first trip during the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday.

Any suggestions on the best days to visit which parks? We will have a 6 day park hopper (spending other days at US, IOA, DC, and SeaWorld).

We plan to attend MVMCP on 11/27 other than that I'm open to suggestions. I really wanna take part in everything Christmas...Holidays Around the World, Candlelight Processional, Osborne Spectacle of Lights...any thing I'm missing?

Thank you so much...I enjoy reading all of your posts and learn lots by doing do!

HS closes at 6 on Nov. 13. Do you think they will still do Osbourne Lights?

probably not... they may be having a private party.

You sound like a pirate. And pirates don't worry........they just .....do.

ADR - Crystal Palace for an early breakfast (gets us into the park at 8:15)

Are you also a party of two? 8:15 was the earliest I could find for us as well... where are the 8:05s for the little groups?

 

[Broncobilly83]

Yes, we are a party of 2. I requested 8:15 since we are doing MVMCP the night before and might be a little loopy.

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

We are a party of 2 and couldn't get anything earlier than 8:25 and that was the first ADR I tried for. I think they are trying to get the bigger tables filled first in the morning for some reason...we had no trouble getting 8:05 with our larger parties, the last two trips!

Our Crystal Palace was also at 8:20 for 2!!!

Seems like... we have never had issue getting tables at 8:05 for parties of two or three before, but this time no good.

 

[exwdwcm]

Looks good! Just a question: How do you know what night the wishes dessert party will be??? We did it last year on our MVMCP night. I really want to do it again

I don't for sure, it is offered most nights though and is offered during MVMCP too. or it was in previous years. If it isn't available the night we want, we will just skip.

Have you seen the latest Travel Agent Appreciation Offer? I am so mad it is only for travel dates through Sept. 27th. It is 60% off AoA plus you can add the dining plan (it's not free but on all the other TA discounts you can't even purchase it at all).
If were valid for our travel dates I think I would switch from the Poly to AoA.

I did! I am a new TA, so I don't have my CLIA card yet to get discounts, but hopefully soon. and dates aren't good obviously either, but still a nice deal. A friend of mine was able to take advantage at least of it.

 

[TinkPirateMom]

I could only get 8:20am for our CP res for a party of four. I wanted 8:05. I wonder who got all these 8:05 ressies, lol!

I need to book some golf too! Not for me though for my dad and grandparents. It opens at 90 days right? They are playing on that 9 hole course as its included in the Waterpark and more stuff. I already have my mvmcp tickets and just need our flights! It will be wierd when everyones ADR's are made for November.....how will we pass the time til its time to pack?? [/QUOTE]


Yes the golf opens at 90 days for resort guests. Actually if they still have the 2 round pass I will do that since we have two non-park days on the days we will be doing MVMCP so I will golf while my wife goes shopping. Thinking of playing the Palm and Magnolia courses. We will be getting the MVMCP tickets this week I think and we booked the flights as soon as Jetblue opened the schedule. Glad we did too, the same flights would now cost $120.00 more than when we booked them.

As far as passing the time, I think the wife will just go over and go over the packing list. lol

I'm guessing you'll be passing the time listening to my endless worrying about my resort choice! I'm a resort changer to begin with, and now I'm worrying that the Poly will be a construction zone by the time we get there in November!

You know, when I called in to update my flight info with the CMs earlier today, I asked about Be Our Guest and he said something that I did not think of until he said it. The reason AoA and some of the new Fantasy Land is already open is because last spring/summer/fall was mild in comparison, and in turn the drier weather made it easier to complete things ahead of schedule. With that in mind, we are hoping for less hurricanes, rains, etc, which should aid for things like Be Our Guest and others to all be open in time for any Nov visit
