NOVEMBER 2012 Trip Planners Thread~ Everybody is Welcome~Part 3 already!

Some advice needed!
Okay My orginal plan was to for our vacation nov24-29 was to visit epcot on our 2nd day since our first day we will be doing downtown disney & mickey's backyard bbq
My orginal plan was to visit Epcot on the 25 to eat at storybook princess and see Santa & mrs Claus then head out of there by 1pm. Well, I just seen from last year santa doesnt arrive until 1:30 and that will be a waste for me to wait since I have to run to hollywood studios to see all the shows, which I always missed the previous times such as playhouse disney, beauty & beast.

So I am thinking of switch to MK all day and doing the Christmas party that day, I already book CRT for that morning at 10 and guess I will stay there the entire time until We would be done with the Christmas party.

So then on the 26 the following day I would head back to MK to hang out and do whatever rides we havent done and be out of there by 12:30 to head to Hollywood studios to do all the attractions and we also have scifi reservation at 4:10, and I know fantasmic is only at 6:30 on weekdays. Soooo
I am confused on what to do, should I stick to the orginal plan, would I have enough time see playhouse disney & beauty beast and the stunt show. Hollywood studios that day is open till 11pm I am really not sure what to do.

Or I was thinking of just heading to MK to eat at CRT on the 25 since i have 2 credits left over. So that is another question is the Christmas party worth 180 dollars?
Hope I wrote this correctly, its hard typing this all from my phone

i would do the second one (we will be in DHS on the 26th too!) what if you did MK then the party, DHS on the 26th, then on Tues do AK and do Epcot on the 28th/ That way you fit all the parks in and dont need to hop (unless you like too) i went by the recommended ones for those days and the lowest CL... no there are no EMH BUT I sometimes feel that they are too crowded. if you really wanted the EMH and have hoppers, then go to that park at night that has EMH. I was looking at the crowd level and alot of the times the CL is alot higher on days when there is EMH but with youngish kids we dont always even make it that late anyways lol

I read that the 2013 dining plan shows BOG as 1 credit. Have you looked at that maybe?

I have, but the brochure also notes that it is subject to change. That's why this has gotten so much attention. It's not open yet, and someone supposedly in the know reported it's 2 credits. If it was written in stone, I don't think anyone would pay any attention to that rumor. As it is, the same official blog poster who commented previously that it was one credit had to say she'd go and check before she could confirm it really is only one. If she doesn't know for sure when she did previously, it is possible for it to change. And with all the excitement over it and all the extra features, it's not out of the realm of the possible that they either are really considering going to 2 credits or were floating a test balloon to see if people would be willing to pay that much. Realistically, I don't think they'd do it, but when the ADR period is coming up, that's going to be a deciding factor for a lot of people. They really need to quash the rumor if it's not true. That they haven't already is concerning...

So just decided that on our first full day which is a down day -relaxation day with plans for DTD and dinner @ California Grill, that I wanted to do something special for us as family....so just booked us a family carriage ride around the resort of POR. Its another surprise for our girls who think we're at POFQ but just upgraded to Royal Guest room and now this. Yes, this mamma does have a few tricks up her sleeve. I know they will be so surprised!! My DH actually suggested it and called to book it. So stoked about our trip!!

Thank you so much. And to think my DH actually suggested this then called to book is astounding to me as he truly is not the biggest Disney fan in the world. He prefers Universal so much more...go figure. Oh well. I am impressed with this I have to tell you, lol

Now that most of us have our trips planned. Are any of you second guessing anything? I'm having a problem with being gone for so long. This is completely unfounded. I will have 2 of my children taking care of my pets. (I call them my toddlers.) Its the perfect time for DH to be away from his office. So whats my problem?

I guess for some of us being away brings stress in knowing what amount of work will be waiting for us when we get back. But then again, we work so hard all year to be able to have a nice rest and to celebrate those special times in life- So with that said I do try and always enjoy my time away and NOT WORRY about whats going on at home.

I am so stoked for our trip as I have planned everything and worked so hard to make sure I have everything right and in line with what everyone wants to do PLUS a few surprises.

Just try and relax. Life happens no matter where you are. Have a great time and please don't feel guilty at all. Enjoy your time away with your DH!!

I've been playing around with this also. Lots of fun!

ok, so how are you and Princessof3 able to do a personalized touring plan? Is it through easywdw? I was looking and couldn't figure out where! . Thanks!!

Its on touring plans. There is a subscription fee but it has a lot of info.

So excited!!! Booked my flights last night and because of Disney/airline math added an extra day to our trip because it made the overall cost cheaper. (well sort of)

woohoo!!!

I'm thinking of attending on Dec 2nd (Sunday). It will only be me and my 8 year old so no stroller to push. How bad do you all think it will be? I hear weekends are busier. Thanks for any info.

I have never attended on a Sunday night. But that seems like a much better option than say Friday night. I would go for it. You will have a wonderful time with your son.
