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

[ireneryan]

I tried to add another night onto our trip......no one wants too!

What? No one on your trip wants to stay an extra night? That's absurd!

 

[Hmom]

OH NO!!!!! I think I waited too later to buy our MVMCP ticket!!! We wanted to go Nov 15th, but it doesn't look like the adult tickets are available any longer. Can anyone look and confirm for me? I am praying I'm looking at it wrong. I am going to be so upset if I can't get them.

ETA: I found them! Duh! Apparently, I am "10 and up"!

You almost gave me a heart attack!!! That is the night we want to go & I haven't bought mine yet. Glad you edited That makes me think I should probably get moving on our MVMCP tickets.....

Uh oh, that means you haven't trained them properly More Disney brainwashing is ordered! You must watch 1 Disney movie/day, have only Disney music in the car, all food must resemble Mickey ears, Disney clothes every day and read nothing but Disney books.

Well my dad and grandparents are already going to be in Orlando and its my brother that doesnt want to because his wife works til 7am the day before we leave... so its kind of rude to change our flights even to the evening beforehand

I have spent the last 3 hours re-doing our ADRs. And now I think I am confused. I think I am happily confused though.

It's OFFICIAL! We are going.... Nov 11th - Nov 19th @ POR!!! Even though I've been completely planning everything and made reservations, I wasn't totally sure we were going. Well, DMIL told me today that it's a go...her treat! I love my DMIL and not just because she pays for Disney! We'll pay for all the tips (meal and mouse keeping), MVMCP tickets (which I can purchase now since I know we are going for sure) and souvenirs. I hope to be able to do something special to surprise DMIL, but I can't decide what. I thought about the fireworks cruise, but I'd love some other suggestions.

Yay! So happy for you!

I think I'm finally content with our plans. Well, with the exception of waiting on BOG to open up ADR's!
11/23 arrive, MK, dinner @ Tonys Town Sqaure
11/24 Epcot, lunch @ Coral Reef, dinner @ Garden Grill
11/25 AK, dinner @ 'Ohana
11/26 MK, lunch @ Liberty Tree Tavern
11/27 DHS, lunch @ Sci Fi
11/28 MK, brreakfast @ Kona, dinner @ Crystal Palace
11/29 Epcot, lunch @ Le Cellier
11/30 DHS, dinner @ 50's Prime Time
12/1 MK, breakfast @ Crystal Palace
we have Seaworld AP's so we'll pop over to there and Aquatica when the urge strikes

Looks great!

I am in so much trouble, aren't I?

Yep!

I have news! I have changed our flights to November 28th to Dec 6th!! I still have to call Disney to change our reservations and we may not be able to get AoA, but still, I'm happy. We are even flying out of one airport and back into another one where we'll have to rent a car to get home (for the same cost as paying for airport parking). But the price was only $25 more than our original price of $396 for the two of us, so I'm so happy!

I realized that with my daughter having her baby toward the end of October, I want to be close by...and she lives 6 hours away. That was the main deciding factor. I decided if I could get reasonable airfare, I would go for it. I'll still check to see if we can get a return flight to our home airport. Also, the new arrival time for Orlando is 9:15PM. We always do the earliest possible arrival time, so we just added another night to make up for it. I'm really excited now about our trip and can't wait to experience the Osborne lights again, the unbelievable Christmas decorations and Candlelight Processional. I'll be competing with everyone else for ressies come Tuesday morning! Good luck to everyone...hope you get just what you want!

Now to go change my ticker!

Sounds great! What were your dates before?

What time does disney dining open up? Is it 6 or 7am?? I am getting conflicting reports..I want to be first on phone come Tuesday

6am EST (well, I guess EDT) for online and 7am for calling.

Speaking about competing Tuesday I was reading some posts about last year and went into panic mode again , people saying how they had to redial for 15 mins then hold for another 45 minutes only to find the restaurant of choice for the show time they wanted was not available.

So I made 3 Alternate ADRs this am for my 1st, 2nd & 3rd CP Choices just in case I have to do some ADR shuffling when I see what is available on Tuesday when I finally get through on the phone.

Has anyone seen a list of the restaurants for this year???

From what I was reading Biergarten and R&C were not included in 2010

Ack! Maybe I should tell work I might be a little late on Tuesday?!

OH NO!!!!! I think I waited too later to buy our MVMCP ticket!!! We wanted to go Nov 15th, but it doesn't look like the adult tickets are available any longer. Can anyone look and confirm for me? I am praying I'm looking at it wrong. I am going to be so upset if I can't get them.

Well, THAT freaked me out! We want to go the following night, but I haven't ordered tickets yet...

what is WRONG with them! Some people just don't understand...

I hope it's just perfect now.

I think it is about as perfect as it is going to get. At least for today.

Now I need to work on that list of snack places in each park we want to make sure we get to.

OH MY!!!! I was so happy that I had my ADR's I didn't even think of snacks other than "oh the snack credits will be so nice to have to grab a quick something between meals" and now this! I went to that link and my head is swirling!!!! I am soooo new to this, just makes me think, what else should I be planning?
