My others did too! I dont know then Im lost!

Were you able to get your MVMCP book? I didn't see where you mentioned getting it or not.

That is so cute!!

I don't know why but this is one show that we are just not interested in at all. I've even tried to want to go. I have seen some really good reviews on it. Just not us.

Same here. It's just never interested us at all, though I'm not sure why...

sooo I keep changing my adr's.. I added O'hana! Is this place as good as everyone says?? I made it for Sun Nov 25th at 8:45. This is our Animal Kingdom day. Will this be a good time to catch Wishes from there or maybe from the beach after dinner??

By the way I LOVE this thread!! Everyone is so nice!

We liked 'Ohanas so much our first trip that on our last trip we ate there twice for dinner. Once the night we arrived and again our last night there. This trip I have 'Ohanas for dinner the night after we arrive and our last night. I also have a breakfast scheduled in somewhere to try it. DD is excited about Lilo and Stitch. We have always enjoyed the meals and DD loves the little activies they do with the kids. She brought home leis for her friends she had so many.

Have you done the HDDR before? If you have, does your family love it? If you haven't have you had your family watch a youtube video of it?

I had my DD3.5, who is my toughest critic watch a video of it and she vetoed it after about 1 minute in. She said, "No. I won't eat if I have all that noise. I just won't eat." Okay, off the list it went.

no we havent done it. MY family wanted to then didnt, then did, then my DD didnt think it was 'cool' IDK. It just doesnt look that great. The reviews are great but it just doesnt seem like 'us; as much as I 'want' it to be

I know how you feel but then if I cancel it I feel like im missing something!

I'm sorry if you already mentioned this but were any of your books cancelled?

I'm trying to redo my books now on a different site. Has anyone tried mixbook? They're a little more expensive than artscow but I had already told my kids I was making these books. We didn't do autographs last year and wasn't planning to do it this year either until I saw the books you made and I just had to make something like that for the kids.

i only had the ones that have tinkerbell and minnie mouse on the cover cancelled. I sent them the release I got from last photopass cd lets see if that helps

No my Christmas one wasnt cancelled I havent gotten it but it was shipped

Same here. It's just never interested us at all, though I'm not sure why...

I agree...not sure why though and as much as I want too.... I cant

I think HDDR looks like fun, and the reviews are great but I just can't bring myself to travel to do it. If we ever stay at WL, we'll do it for sure.

On our second trip, we headed out to the Fort for the campfire and thought it was fun, but using Disney transportation it was a big undertaking and it cured me of trying to venture too far from where we're staying! Now we try to stay close to our resort. I'm exploring WDW one little piece at a time!

see that is my fear that it takes too long to get there.

This just doesn't make sense at all. I was thinking it was maybe the person who looked at the order but they would have seen all the books not just a couple. Unless they were ordered at a different time. Who knows but them right???

actually yes they were all on seperate orders except the 2 that were cancelled, they were together.

In fairness, we were staying at POFQ, and we went to the Boardwalk area to look around first, and then caught a bus over to the Fort. It was A LOT of traveling. It was our first trip after I discovered the Dis and I wanted to experience EVERYTHING. I completely wore my husband and kids out, and it was only our arrival day!

My Disney-tolerating husband made me promise we wouldn't do something like that again if I wanted to be able to go back to WDW! So now we base our activities around our hotel and everybody's happy.

I have, and will be again this year. Never with free dining though. To get free dining for both stays you have to have at least 3 nights stay and buy 2 days tickets for each portion. You can save the 2nd set of tickets for future use if you want. I am staying at DVC the first portion, so I can add dining (not free of course) with out buying a ticket. Then my 2nd half is with free dining and tickets. I will be picking my ticket up 3 days early at Guest services at the parks so I can still tour the parks before my package actually starts.

Thanks for the response. I think if I do it, I'll just do dining OOP for the first 3 days and just do the FD for the last 6 days. But of course it all depends on if I get the FD pin or it comes out for GP. Still hoping!

Pixiedusted this afternoon! I got a room at AOA im the LM section on 11/29. Spreading the dust around...

I think it was my pixie dust that did it! So glad you got what you wanted! Did you call every day? I keep checking online, but maybe I should call?

If you are flying, when are you planning on purchasing flights??? I'm so torn on flight prices and I'm thinking we'll end up driving (10 hours with 1-2 stops included). Both times from our local airport (45 minutes away) to MCO we've gotten roundtrip for $135 and $150. Right now, our flights have held since they came out at cheapest $297/pp roundtrip... If we drive 2.5hrs away, we can fly for $195/pp roundtrip... I'm wondering if prices will drop or not... We fly out November 26 and back December 5.

I already bought our tickets when someone on the Dis alerted us to Southwest's $99 sale. I still check every day to see if I can get something better on the trip home. We're flying out of one airport and back to a different one two hours away! Not ideal, but the price was right!

mommyof3princesses27, those t-shirt images were really neat! Did I understand correctly that you got them from the DISigners here on the Dis? I've used their considerable talent many times. They are awesome! Thanks for sharing them!

UPDATE ON THE ARTSCOW SITUATION: I emailed them the photpass cd release...they accepted it and will process my order! YAY! If anyone has gotten their stuff cancelled, try that! I am glad it did work. I am not sure why the other ones got processed and some didnt.

I'm chuckling cause, despite hddr and zebra domes, I love almost anything Disney.... But Hddr didn't do it for us. I love eating, but I'm not a huge carnivore and the gnawing on chickenbones and the other fare isn't my thing. The kids were mildly interested in the show, but overall we wouldn't do it again.

So I just realized that there is an app for dis boards for my iPhone. Where have I been.

I am still undecided

I just found the DIS app for my iPad last night !

There are multiple disney apps for the IPhone. I have several of them. They are great and have helped me tremendously in my planning. They give the park hours, wait times, parade times, early morning hours EMH, and so much other stuff. I love them Still no times avail at Le Cellier for 11/14- but I am trying to remain hopeful. Does anyone have any other suggestions?? Hope everyone has a great Saturday and happy planning.
