Don't think its a refurb because Fantasmic just went through a refurb earlier this year (Jan or Feb)

Th wouldnt be being refurbed would it? I hope not!

Not for just one day...! I'm wondering if they are having a special event or something though... Although i think SOME people have been able to book it that day, right?

I have just made it official and changed our regular dining to the delux dining plan. Those of you that have used this in the past.......Do you still have any out of pocket dining or snack cost? (other than tips)

I am also trying to decide between regular DP and DxDP. I wish there was an intermediate option -- a 2 TS plan. That is generally what I would do each day. So the way I figure, if each meal you eat is $30 or over, the DxDP is worth it, and doing Signature meals helps acheive this. Do you think this would be hard to acheive?

So I called Disney last week to ask about a PIN & some MAJOR pixie dust came my way...it looks like a 30 or 35% off the room rate so we are now coming to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday!!

Staying at All Star Music 11/4 to 11/9.

I made ADRs for lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern on 11/8 (my mom has always wanted to go there & she'll be so surprised!) plus we are doing breakfast at 1900 Park Fare on 11/9 for my dad's birthday (that will be a fun surprise for him). My dad hasn't been to Disney in over 10 years so I am hoping we have a great week!

So DH bought me a mountain bike for Mother's Day/ My birthday! I am excited I have wanted one for awhile. I know, not Disney related but still exciting! I am working on my 6 month countdown calendar tonight. Its gonna be cute

We used it last year and loved it! I think the only thing I paid for out of pocket for (other than tips and alcohol) were a couple Food and Wine tastings. I could have used snack credits but felt like it wasn't a great use to get something that was less than $3.

I wasn't sure about using the DDL. Then I started looking at things that will take 2 TS credits. Then it started making alot of sense.

Glad that your Mothers day gift was something that you wanted.
I bet your countdown calendar is gonna be cute.

This is good to know. I really fought adding it on to our reservation. But now I'm glad that I did.

Well it's 4 something am in New York, I'm sitting on my sofa in Sweden thinking I've got the jump on things and it's my make ADR's day but my confirmation # from my travel agent isn't going through online ! Now I am never ever sick but of course today I woke up with a terrible sore throat and now I have to call Disney dining! With my cell phone because I just got rid of my landline (although I don't think it's much more expensive but I want to complain a bit extra, wah!).

Wish me luck, ahhhhh!!!!

Thanks smileybug, it did !! I just finished up and I got everything I wanted too, yay ! All of a sudden it started working online, I do wonder if I was to early or if there was a glitch but no matter. I'm already second guessing myself too (Chefs lunch instead of San Angel Inn?), ahh it all comes with the territory doesn't it, being a Disney planning obcessive like I am!

I'm second guessing myself as well. And I'm a little upset with myself for doing it. I stepped into a thread last night I wish I had stayed out of. Someone was asking if the dining/deluxe dining plan was worth it. It really is a very valid question. I have asked this same thing myself. But reading all of the responses has me looking at everything again. I have been up since 4:00am printing menus and running numbers. Now I'm just plain confussed.

Good morning everyone. Just had to share my morning.

Today is my Dad's birthday, so I set my alarm early so I could stop by his house on way to work to tell him Happy Birthday in person. I am also going to the Braves game tonight so the morning was all out of wack for me. I stopped by no problems and then head off to work. I get to work and turn on computer and what does my outlook remind me. Oh yeah today is ADR day. I forgot. How could I let that slip my mind. Let's just say I spent the next 10 minutes typing really fast. I was able to get everything we wanted, but man I was freaking out. Hope everyone else has just as much when you turn to make ADR's happens.

I stumbled upon that same thread and I think for us it is worth it with having the kids. But like DH said we like having our meals pre-paid even if it ends up being a wash. But remember if we get FD, you just pay the upgrade price. THere is a difference in the way we order if we get the DP or not. If its oop, we dont choose overly expencive things. If we know its covered on the DP, we always get something we wouldnt normally get. After all its vacation I think I actually prefer having my meals pre-paid. even though we wouldnt normally get an appi or dessert but since its included, we will try different things

Yay! I'm glad you were able to get everything you wanted without having to call.

So I currently have 2 resorts booked and I am going to have to cancel 1 today or tomorrow. I have been booked in a GV room at Poly and last night I booked the WL CL. DH is super happy about WL but I'm having a hard time letting go of Poly. I'm more into palm trees and tiki torches than the willderness (althout I find WL beautiful as well).

Has anyone booked the Fantasmic! package for November??? I read on the Theme park board that a CM said it might be being refurbed but some1 else said they havent released the dates/times yet.....
