Well, I can't believe what I just did. I added another night to our reservation. But what really shocked me is that hubby was so in agreement with it.

Yay!! You are joining the crowd my dear with all the rest of us that have now added time onto their trips. I thinks its AWESOME!! We abolutely can't wait till our trip...what are your dates again? Ours are from 11/14-11/22 then heading to Universal. Kids are so excited to see Harry Potter- both of them have read all the books like 10x each. Incredible...I even remember the night we stood in line well before midnight at the selling of at least 5 of their book releases!!

This is the second night I have added. I'm creeping up there one night at a time. We are now Nov. 23rd - Dec. 2nd.
I hope ya'll have a great time at Universal.

Is there something going on at Ohana the week of November 25th? I've tried to get dinner reservations all nights during that week and there is nothing available.

I'm kind of wondering the same thing. I keep trying to get a reservation myself and the only thing available is late. Like 9:25. I'm not sure I want to eat that late but I might grab it anyway. I just tried every night from Nov. 23rd to Dec. 1.

Hopefully once BOG opens for ADRs some Ohana reservations will open up. So keep trying.

Have you eaten at Yak and Yeti before? If so, please tell me about it.

We haven't, this will be our first time. The menu looks really good and there's even a burger for my picky kid

We will be coming over to EPCOT on 23rd for CLP so I can't wait for that. We get to see the best of both worlds (literally ) We absoltuely cannot add another day we are at our max with this trip on some many levels.

I think I am going to have to go back and look at this.
I need to get myself into town. But this afternoon is going to be spent on looking over all my dining reservations.

No, it's just booked solid. The first 2 weeks or so when ADR's opened there were lots of times open. It tends to be the hardest ADR on property to get, keep trying!

This trip is now at its max for us as well. But it does sound like ya'll have the best of both worlds.

Are you looking at Yak and Yeti as well?

OOOOH, more time at your happy place! That's always good. (esp if DH is on board!)

Thanks for all the love about my son. We are so blessed!

I read on another thread that Disney Visa holders may be able to get the free dining as early as next Monday. Has anyone else heard that? We got a DV last year when they were offering $200 after your first use. Haven't used it since, but I would be willing to if need be. Does anyone have the scoop?

I just got my Disney Visa I wonder if it will have the same blackout dates...

 

[Divaofdisney]

Yay! So excited....just purchased my MVMCP tickets for us on 11/16/12- its a Friday night. It was more expensive and not discounted but I don't care at this point. All that's left now is airfare and paying off trip end of September. Wahoo!!!!

my travel agent just told me she got an email to log into her ta account on the 11th because there are alot of exciting updates she should know about!!

hmmm im curious. she said she will let me know as soon as she finds out what it is and i will be sure to pass it along.



on a side note. how does everyone feel about the photopass?? is that something we should get? and what is the difference between the photopass and photopass+

we are debating...if we keep our AK day that day... Im thinking about getting rid of it cuz all this is confusing me

right now I have Yake and yeti scheduled but I think it and AK lost out to DQ...oh well on the list for next trip! I want to schedule a BB offer too when we are there. I also want to experience AK in the dark!

PP is so nice we had it on our lst big family trip! we had over 300 pics taken by the photographers and by the time I was done cropping and editing, we had over 600!

We are doing PP+ this time and preordering it saved about $30. It lets you put all the meal photos and ride photos on there(usually meal photos are $20-40 and rides are $10-20)

If I were you, I would do the PP+

Has anyone ever used the Disney Dream Makers to decorate their room? I'm thinking of ordering some balloons and maybe a plush Minnie for each of the girls. I'm just curious if anyone has done it before?

Ideally, I want to get into our room before we head to Hollywood Studios, but check-in isn't until 3p and we should arrive there around 11a. I have it in my head that it won't be as exciting if they don't see the room first, then head to the park (we have a Nemo suite at AoA and I know they are going to FLIP out when they see it!) Additionally, I wanted to have autpgraph books delivered to the room (they have a package called "A Royal Welcome" which includes a princess autograph book, princess pen and light up tiara).

I'm getting a little crazy, right?

I know we'll go back to WDW in a few years, but I feel like I need to make it *extra* magical for my 6 & 3 year old girls because they still believe in the magic. When we go back I think they'll still love it, but it won't be as exciting. Maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself...

Haven't been there yet, but you're not crazy! I'm planning to use them too. Midway through our trip, my DD is going to the BBB to get "done up" and then off to the Perfectly Princess Tea Party and I'm arranging to have them do the Princess thing where there is a sash over the door and princess stuff and a note proclaiming her a princess.... Yeah it's over the top, but who cares?, it's fun!!!!!!!

I am not shocked, but I think it's funny that you are!!

Good job!!! Now do you have to move more stuff around?

 

[ashleycade]

Le Cellier!!

both if u can fit it..if not Le Cellier! thats why im having trouble...I wont let go of Le Cellier and everyone else wants Coral Reef!

Thanks guys! At this point my family is just like whatever you want is fine. I think they are tired of me changing our ADR's!

 

[ashleycade]

I'm about to cancel some ADR's if anyone wants them! Both are on Nov 24th Chef Mickey 7am & Coral Reef 6:50pm! We changed Chef Mickey to a different day & choose Le Cellier over Coral Reef
