Okay everyone, what do think are the chances we'll need a fourth edition of this thread before we get to Disney??? I say...OF COURSE, YES!!

Just so I can fit in we added a day as well. We were already going to be coming down on Sunday the 11th but were going to stay offsite and start our 5 day passes on Monday, but MK has EMH Sunday night so we added a day to our AoA stay and an extra day to our passes. Only added $55 total for 2. Wishes the first night will make us very happy.

Yay!! Welcome officially to the "I added another day club" Nice to have you join us!!We are becoming quite a large group I see. This is awesome!!

An extra day always makes us happy, right? Good for you!! And Wishes on the first night is just magical!

Good Morning friends!!

I so agree with the ADR's, you do need to keep checking back several times a day if possible as things do open up as people finalize and change their minds on different places. I know its frustrating but try to not let the disney magic be dimmed by disappointment. THere are many people here that can help with planning and they are awesome! I have learned so much. Tip is never be satisfied and never give up!!

Any more news on BOG? What is the latest with ADR's??

When is anyone really satisfied in here?

Be careful When I added my first day....it was because of Epcot having EEMH until 12:30.

Ya'll keep talking and before today is over we will have added another day.

The dining site was down for a while yesterday. (I was hoping it was down because they were adding BOG. No such luck though. ) So maybe there was a glitch somewhere. Do you have your reservation #? If you do all should be good.

yes I have the reservation number and I called 2x and its there so it should be fine!

um yea!

Most certainly!!

wish I could! 8 days is enough with kids though.... maybe next time itll be more. I do however have off from work for 12 days 3 days to pack beforehand(we re-pack cuz u know Ill be packed before Thanksgiving!) and one day to recover after the trip

 

[mom2rose&john]

Oh, noooooo! She only said what LOTS of our family members are probably thinking!!





I agree with both of you. Always seems crowded and hot! We skipped it last couple trips, but with extending our trip for free dining, we're doing a day there and I'm looking forward to it, esp. Yak and Yeti!!



Sounds great!



Welcome! Looks great. You'll have so much fun! What suburb are you from? We're near Atlanta now, but I grew up in Cheektowaga (went to Depew HS) and DH grew up in Depew (Maryvale HS)! LOL and we DON'T miss the cloud cover.....



Oh, that is PRECIOUS! A girl after my own heart!



Yay for you! That's great!



I think you made a great decision.

I grew up in Akron NY and now we live in Lancaster NY right next to Depew. We actually love the area except for a few bad days the weather is perfect for us. Ski in the winter, Swim and boat in the summer.

OMG! We have a Fantasmic! ADR at 3:40 that same day! Hope to see you there!

How are you planning your other meals around this ADR? I am planning a small morning bfast at the hotel room, light lunch at 11 am and another snack as we are waiting in line. Of course all my planning can be hinder by my husband who likes to play it by ear

Maybe, instead of family shirts, we should all wear a special November 2012 planning shirt so we can all say hi as we pass each other in the parks

I don't know if long trips always mean good things. Even without kids. This trip is 9 nights/10 days. We normally do 6 to 7 days. So this is a first for us. I guess we will see how it goes.

I have a similar sitution with our CLP Dinner reservation. Its at 3:45. We are having a late breakfast. With maybe a snack in between. (Good excuse for a Mickey head ice cream!!)

DH is already asking if maybe we should do 2 shorter trips. My answer.......ARE YOU KIDDING WITH WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH TO GET THESE ADRs? UMMMM NO!!

Wouldn't that be something! Our own "family" reunion shirts!

This will be our longest trip by 1 day as well. We usually do 7 nights and 8 days and that's been pretty good. I do think one extra day will be even better. We'll feel more relaxed. We'll be able to do more resort hopping to see all the decorations and not feel we're taking away from the park time as much. And it's so inexpensive to add a day....as so many of us already know!

I wouldnt do any ADR for lunch... what about a breakfast at like Ohanas? Or Chef Mickeys? If you do lunch, make it a CS at like 12. BBB takes about an hour to an hour and a half
