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

[Smileybug]

That would be so cool! Do you do anything to show that you are a DIS-er? I saw something about LGMH and I thought I would put one on my purse with ireneryan on it so people would know.

Do ya'll think there will be another announcement when BOG starts taking ADRs in august? Or will they just quitely open up the ADR line? Be sneaky about it.

Morning!

We are arriving on Nov. 10th and leaving on Nov. 17th. My DD will be turning 5 on the 14th and we have secured a early morning BBB reservation and a CRT reservation for breakfast for her as well on that morning This is her first trip although both myself and my DH have been there a few times before. Staying at the AKL and attending MVMCP on the 15th I believe it is, super excited and cannot wait to get there and get started on everything. Have made ADR's for most of the days leaving her Bday dinner up to her and the day we get there empty as well but I think most other stuff is secured and ready to go!

We are there around the same time Nov 11th - Nov 16th. We are celebrating my daughter's 6th birthday, which happens right after we get home. Are you doing BBB in MK on the 14th? We are planning on doing it that day too by in DTD.

We also will be at MVMCP on the 15th, hope to bump into you guys!

Do ya'll think there will be another announcement when BOG starts taking ADRs in august? Or will they just quitely open up the ADR line? Be sneaky about it.

This is what it said on the Disney Parks Blog:

"Guests can start making reservations in late August (we’ll let you know the exact date as soon as we can), with the restaurant to be open for the holidays."

So I think they will let us know when we can start making ADRs.

Do you already have the LGMH paint chips? I think they have been pulled from the stores.

Ironically, before I ever knew what they were for I got them. I am a big scrapbooker and when they had the Mickey paint chips I took one of every color and added it to my art supplies, just because I liked them and thought they would be neat for a future Disney trip. Soooo, the other night when I read about what DIS-ers use them for I looked for them and I had one!

Let's hope they do give us an exact date! I'm not good with vague answers, they make me what to scream! And now I am officially wishing my summer away!

Thanks. I had already read that but I guess I didn't pay close enough attention.

Good thing you did that. I still have some. They feel like a Dis collectors item now.

I saw in the "what shoe to wear at Disney thread" that alot of people like Crocs flip flops and they have them on sale right now at the crocs website for $14.99 with free shipping. I got a pair of the aqua colored ones to save until close to my Disney trip. They are the Crocband flip flops regular 27.99. You use coupon code CBFLIP to make it 14.99 and then SHIPCROCS for free shipping.

Which November group on which site??? Happy to help

November DIS'ers on FB...I added you!

Ok I KNOW I have to start fixing the front page, and I really want to right now but have a head ache and dont feel good. I do know I left off on page 7 so I promise I will get to it soon! I am trying my best dont give up on me

You won't catch anyone on here complaining that you're slacking or not doing a great job! You're doing a fantastic job, and now that I know you run a day care, all I can do is wonder how on earth you find the time for every thing!! Makes me wish there was a Wonder Woman emoticon!!

Interesting, thank you, those were all my questions I felt were too silly to ask.

The only silly question is the one that goes unasked!!

Do we know if the touring guides from the books were effected very much by the new FP rules...? I'm thinking of buying an updated one based on that but I'm not sure it is necessary.

If you don't want to buy a new copy, try your library when they come out and just check it that way. I usually buy Unofficial Guide and Passporters every other year. Even the 2013 may not have the correct information with the more recent changes since they go to press so far in advance of release date. But you can pay to join Touring Plans and you get a discount if you buy their book (Unofficial Guide). Since those touring plans are on the internet, they are as up to date as you're likely to get anywhere.

I'm pretty sure after reading the blog on BOG I'm going to plan on lunch. The menu sounds great, hopefully it won't be TOO crazy!

Keep in mind that most people visiting WDW aren't as informed as people who are on the DIS or other forums. So early on, I'm not sure it will be as crowded as we may think. Then again I could be completely wrong.

Glad to share! I was so surprised by the menu change and the glowing review of the server that it completely turned me around on CR from disappointment to looking forward to it. Now I just have to figure out whether I'd rather do that or Le Cellier for my b-day dinner...

The last two times we did CR we were disappointed and said never again. Now I'm thinking we may need to try it again with this new information. One time it was extremely poor service and another it was DH's food. But I love the little fishes swimming around and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant!

Mommyofthreeprincesses! Thank you for adding my trip! You are doing an awesome job!! Thank you for this thread!!

Good Morning good people of November!!

Good morning!!

Five is such a great age for Disney! We just took our 5 year old Granddaughter
to WDW in April and we had a ball. It was a last minute trip so we couldn't get the CRT or BBB (she doesn't like anyone messing with her hair anyway) But we did a lot and had so much fun seeing Disney through her eyes. You're going to have such a magical time!

Okay, this thread is officially CRAZY! What a lot of great information and plans going on! Those of you who are doing deluxe dining, you are going to be so full!! I can barely do 1 TS meal and with that, we rarely have room for any of the yummy snacks available. I am totally in awe of you guys! This is such a fun group!

Thanks guys!!

It really depends on housekeeping and if the room is ready. We have gotten our room as early as 9:00am.

Oh That would be great! My husband and I would like to drive down and let the kids wake up at Disney!! I would like us to be able to get into our room before 3pm though!!

We, however, are staying at AoA Nemo...so, I don't know if that is feasible...

 

[tyandskyesmom]

Can you add us in here...

AoA from November 10 - November 25, 2012 with free quick service dining (we usually upgrade to DxDDP but we're trying to go cheaply this time) for four...two adults, a 13 year old (will be almost 14), and an 8 year old...with 10 day hoppers that we might be upgrading to annual passes for me and the kids (dad is leaving on the 18th)...we will be hitting that last weekend of Food & Wine which will be our first time experiencing that...

I think we're skipping MVMCP this year and I am on the fence about Candlelight Processional...I want to and I don't want to...in all the times we have gone, we have never done it!

Anyway...135 more days!!!!

There is no possible way to keep up with this thread....and I am home all day. I just have to give up and browse occasionally.

Sadly there is no trick to it - I've been given rooms as early as 7am (red eye flights). I think not having special requests for location etc helps as they can give you any room at that point, but if they are booked solid then it is up to when guests check out and they can clean them which they have no way of knowing until you show up and ask.

Hey! I remember you! You wrote that great deluxe dining review where I have been getting some reviews from. I think what 17 days of deluxe you had? Yes that was a great review and I bet you were full! So glad you could join us!

I say go for the CLP! Since you are skipping the MVMCP

 

[mommyof3princess27]

Thanks everyone! You make me feel :

This thread moves too fast!
I know I'm on the roll call already but our official times are Nov. 5th through Nov. 14th.
We are hopefully going to have a crew of 25, but that may change based on if two of the families lose their houses in the Waldo Canyon fire here in Colorado...
My wife and I are both very excited. Its been too long since last November... Lol We can't wait to celebrate our 2nd Disney wedding anniversary back at Disney. Planning on a nice dinner then having a drink or two and desert at Narcoossees, which is where we had or reception.
I hope planning is going well for everyone, and we all get a nice discount and every dining reservation we want.
