Can you list your ADRs? Let us help! And personally the F! package depends on whether or not you're willing to possibly wait in line to get in or sit in the back if you walk up?

Here you go:

Sunday
LTT
T-Rex(at the moment) or 1900 PF

Monday
H&V
MM(at the moment) 50's moved to here
Sci-Fi

Tuesday
TH
RFC
WCC

Wednesday
Ohanas
Via Napoli
Coral Reef

Thursday
CP
CRT
Ohanas

Friday
1900PF
L.-----
50's PT cafe(for now) move 1900PF here for 440pm or T-rex here

The BIGGEST thing I am going back and forth about is the F! package! I dont really want to wait in line. I wanna walk up and get my flippin seat LOL

Here is my plan so far, staying @ CSR for 8 nights 11/23-12/1. Will arrive (driving) on Thanksgiving Day will stay at Best Western LBV @ DTD for 1 night on reward points before checking in to CSR.

11/22 - Arrive @ BW in DTD by 10:00am
Can't decide what to do this day -Choice 1-just do DTD shopping or Choice 2- pick up tickets early and go to HS for a couple of hours (this would be DS13 choice)

11/23 - Check in to CSR early, go to MK, back to resort to unpack, Chef Mickeys @ 4:45, return to MK for favorites and Wishes

11/24 - Again not sure what to do this day, This is College Football Game Day and it will be the Alabama/Auburn game probally @ 2:30. We are BIG fans my DH is an Auburn fan and myself and DS are Alabama fans (ROLL TIDE) so we have to watch the game.
-Our options are if we did not visit HS on arrival day to go here for the morning to do favorites the have lunch at Ragland Road and back to resort to watch the game, after game return to HS to see Lights
-another option would be if we go to HS on arrival day to do DTD on this day for shopping and lunch @ Ragland Road then back to resort for the game and the rest of the evening off, maybe some pool time if weather is good

11/25 - Animal Kingdom late arrival, Dinner @ Yak & Yeti @ 4:45

11/26 - Epcot, Dinner @ Chefs de France @ 4:40

11/27 - Hollywood Studios, dinner @ Sci-fi @ 5:20, F!, lights

11/28 - Magic Kingdom, dinner @ BOG (Hopefully)

11/29 - Epcot, late arrival, dinner @ Teppan Do @ 4:45, Illuminatons

11/30 - Magic Kingdom late arrival for late lunch @ LTT @ 2:30 staying for MVMCP

12/1 - Drive Home

DS13 has Aspergers Syndrome so we will have a GAC and will not need FP's. However I plan to get some to gift out and spread a little pixie dust.

So what do you think? What seem like to best choices to make?

Thanks!

One problem I see. You have dinner at 520 on your F! night. you have to get in line about an hour before F! and dinner will take about an hour. The show is at 630 so I am not sure that will work. Could you do it later like at 8?

 

[Dawson'sMom]

I agree with this and if you go out of the park, you'll have even less time to get back because even if you drive you have to get through dinner, get out to your car and drive to HS then get alllllll the way back to where F! is staged. I know you really wanted 1900 PF, but I don't see you having enough time at all to get there. Which leaves you HS restaurants for an early dinner (for example we're eating at 4:30 before Fantasmic).

oh that wasnt for me the PP is doing Scifi at 520 and F! at 630 what I wanted to do was eat at 1900PF then go see OL if we missed them OR F! later show if we miss it the other night(of course if they offer it) now if we get everything done, maybe then just going to DTD BUT Im thinking I can simplify EVERYTHING by either gettig rid of LTT(ooey gooey toffee cake) or 1900PF

Haha oops that's what I get for not reading carefully. But out of the two I would personally stick with LTT BUT like I said, I don't have kids and character meals are kind of secondary to us.

Well I think Im leaning towards that too BECAUSE it just fits better with what we want. We will just have to skip 1900 PF this trip. I wanna try the ooey gooey! LOL

The only reason I thought you might skip LTT is if you're pressed for time, since you can get a bus directly from GF to a park without having to go to the TTC.

we have 2 options...MK first (on arrival day) with LTT for lunch followed by DTD and T-rex for dinner

OR

DTD first with T-Rex then 1900 but no MK time

we have MK on arrival day,sun (10-4)then MVMCP on tuesday night then MK on thurs(8-7 with BB,CRT in the middle) and then MK on departure day 9-4 with CM in the middle PLENTY of MK time BUT with all of the 'extras' meals and BBB I wanted there to be enough time so i think itll be fine this way

And look at it this way, you have a good excuse to go back soon. You have to make up for the 1900 PF hehe.

yea DH will LOVE that excuse But thats ok. I have a list of ADR's for next time already! LOL I think the F! package outweighs 1900PF for us-this trip. I love 1900 but I want to see F! more WITHOUT giving up 2 hours devoted to waiting in line

So now WITH the package, how early should we get in line?

Hi, oops now I have a few questions! I was about to email my TA but then I thought I'd ask here first if that's okay . I'm wondering if I changed my days to reflect my friend, would my TA loose a bit of her commission? I guess she would gain my friends 3 days so maybe I don't have to feel bad.

Also, I'm wondering if I would have a room only for the other days that I'm there alone, and it would be changed to a package w free dining when I got there? I'm not sure I can change my booking so easily because I had this booked for last Nov. but had to move it back a year when my dear Mom became ill . In order to skip any charges my booking has to be more expensive than the last one, which it has been until I got free dining. Then I added a preferred room which I'm happy about .

Hmm maybe these are all complicated questions that I need to take to my TA. She's amazing but you all are too !

Yes your TA would only get commission on what you book, but my guess is that your friends ticket cost more than the days you take off your ticket.

It shouldn't be a problem to change things. You would not have room only. If you have free dining it would stay free dining.

We currently have a 6 night room with 2 day park tickets. We still get free dining for all 6 nights.

Does that make sense?

I've never understood it either because the seating isn't even the best you can get, it's off to one side and if you show up late to that you might even end up in the back. Definitely not worth it to me.

Yes, Hollywood Brown Derby is a signature restaurant so on the dining plan any meal is 2 credits there. Mama Melrose and Hollywood and Vine are the only 1 credit options.
