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

[mommyof3princess27]

I think you will be okay. We are giving ourselves about the same amount of time from AK (closing) 5:00 to T-Rex ADR 6:30. But we could always leave earlier if we were finished touring the park before that.

I moved it back to 845 just in case..... i think she said F! was 30 min and 15 to leave the theater and then 30 to DTD but u never know!

Definitely not 30 minutes to d t d. They have the slowest transportation. I would move it to 9 at the earliest. I have waited for dtd bus for over 30 minutes before. You will have to transfer too

We got Free Dining added! I'm so excited We are going to CBR November 10-17th, so we can be added to the list as well.

So my question is this...we are staying 7 nights. So we need to book 7 table service places, correct? We arrive really late on Saturday, we will not be able to go anywhere that day or our departure day either because we leave for the airport early. So I have to fit 7 table services into 5 days! Any advice?? Thanks in advance

Signature dining! Two credits for one incredible meal. Or if you are traveling with little ones Cinderella's Royal Table is also two credits and you get to dine in the castle!

I have a question about tickets and dining plan. There are 5 of us going. Can we buy 1 ticket with Disney and buy the others from a discounted place and still get dining plus plan?

No. Everyone has to have the same package. You won't save that much anyways

Yay! Posting from droid app. Lol!

Woohoo! Be careful! It's addictive!

Ok I need help with this and PLEASE NO FLAMMING ME!!! I WILL cancel it tonight or tomorrow just need advice and cant ask my family because its a place we have never been before

Let me start by saying we plan to do the photopass plus so Ohanas best Friends breakfast is included in that as well as CP

Right now I have an 8:05am Crystal Palace resservation booked on an EMH morning day. I am not sure if I should keep it or not. We also have CRT scheduled at 2pm and Ohanas after the park closes but some ppl are iffy about 3 TS meals a day

I have Ohanas Breakfast scheduled for the morning of our departure day and I just called and booked a Crystal palace breakfast that morning(I will cancel one today) under my days reservation. I am so nervous and dont know what to do! I really want the kids to experience Ohanas breakfast but CP would be wonderful on our Departure day. The pictures would also be cherished forever. I dont think we are going back for a few years anyway.

I am worried that I have scheduled too much to do in the MK, 3 meals and BBB BUT we have been there like 3 other times and by the time we get there on our trip, we will have been there once maybe 2x and then another time before we leave, not including this day....

does anyone ever do Morning EMH? What should I do? I am so confused!

My other idea was on our arrival day, cancel RFC, schedule MK so we are there for the afternoon, then we will be there another night for MVMCP and our departure day(start with the MK and end with the MK) that way on the thursday we have a full day at MK scheduled, We can do the things we have never done BBB/CRT and so fourth. That might be the best option. Id rather lose RFC then Ohanas....... thoughts?

I was going to type a reply, but then I read EXWDWCM's reply and I couldn't agree more.

I agree. That's plenty of time.

My other question is that T-Rex is scheduled for 830 on our F! night. The CM said F! takes about 30 min and then we can head to DTD so 830 would be an ok time if F! is at 630? or should I move T-Rex back?

WOW! That's a lot of eatin'!!! I think your changes look good, but you are still sitting and eating for a good portion of your trip-- just something to think about. I'm not sure you'll make T-Rex at 8:30. After F! a lot of people exit the park at the same time. If you're not first out the door, you could end up waiting 30 minutes to get a bus . Maybe reschedule it to 9? --Katie

Who is going to the Food & Wine Festival?

We had not initially planned to attend F&W, but when planning I realized we would arrive on the last day. After talking to DH, we decided we wanted to go even though we knew it would be very crowded. Well, now they have added an extra day...Monday, Nov 12th (Veteran's Day). I'm wondering if it would be worth the trouble of moving some ADRs and plans around to attend F&W on Monday. Moving the ADRs might prove to be difficult. I'm not really sure it's going to be any less crowded since it's Veteran's day. I'd really appreciate any thoughts.

For anyone who has been before...any advice? Can you use DP snacks for items at F&W booths? Do they come out with a menu in advance?

We're going That's one thing we love about November that we can hit one day of the F&W but its not there for our whole trip. Unfortunately this time we'll be there only over the weekend which I've heard is very crowded. I too am trying to find information on whether Monday will be more crowded than the weekend because it's a holiday or less crowded. At the moment, we're going Sunday.

We love food and drinks so it's a lot of fun to go around and try everything. Lots of things can be purchased as snacks on the DDP and they will be labeled as such. The menus do normally come out in June/July. You'll see when it does on the restaurant board on the DIS but I also keep an eye on the disneyfoodblog for more information.

We paid to upgrade from Reg to DxDP and I think it was $38 pp per day and $9 for kids per day.... now tell me, where can you get 3 meals a day in disney (whether it be TS or QS well u might be able to get 3 QS) for $38? TOTALLY worth it! We saved $894!

Well, I am not getting FD(staying at my DVC resort), but just got it for my friend, she has never been to Disney. I am planning her trip and saved her $450, she is ecstatic.

What am I missing? Free Dining seems pretty decent for larger families but there are only 2 of us and running the math an AP discount of 20-25% is just as good even at a value resort (where it is the best value).

I suppose if you eat a dessert and a soda at every meal it makes sense, but who does that? It also makes sense if the room only discounts aren't great, but is that really going to be the case if they are offering free dining?
