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

We are eating at Cape May Cafe on Thanksgiving. From what I understand - regular buffet items offered (which we love) in addition to traditional Thanksgiving items! If $$$ are the driver here, then I would look around off-site perhaps - there are tons of excellent option in the area, too.

So I just went and looked at Cape May Cafe's menu & it looks great! How is the seafood? Now you have me thinking of dropping Rainforest Cafe to try it!

I wanted to check in and let y'all know I was finally able to get FDing with the Visa deal ! We have been on a mini-vacation at Great Wolf Lodge, but I was smart enough to check the boards yesterday to see if they released FDing for Visa card holders . I called while on vacation to save money on a future vacation . We had to switch resorts from LM at AoA to a pirate room at CBR. My boys are going to be SO excited about the pirate room!!!! Anyhow, I'm so glad my free dining wait is over!! Wishing everyone else who's still waiting a little . --Katie

Hooray for you! Congrats!

love ur ideas. im just afraid with dd gluten allergy she wont have much to chose from

We don't have anyone with special dietary needs, but I've heard the chefs come up with wonderful creations for people that do!

I know we've talked about Vera Wang before, but I just wanted to say that I bought a little wristlet in the lime green pattern on ebay. I got in and I love it! It's perfect to keep our KTTW cards in. I can carry it safely on my wrist or throw it in my purse.

Speaking of purses, I've been using my hipster on the weekends, and I love it. It's the perfect size, and I love all the little pockets. I can't wait to use it in Disney!!

Uh-oh! I've been loving my VB Hipster, too! Maybe I should look into a wristlet, too?! I've been being good by NOT getting the matching wallet and checkbook cover.....but I'm pretty sure I'm going to cave soon! Don't you just love the Lime's Up pattern? My favorite in years!

Cape May is fabulous! Honestly, the all-you-can-eat yummy crab legs would be enough to make us love it, but everything else is terrific, too. I would definitely drop RFC for Cape May!

It is one of our favorite restaurants. The seafood is pretty good - and I would take dinner there over Rainforest!

I'm going to kill my DP and mother (not really! in case they accidentally die and the police think I did it). Now they want to stay at POFQ instead of Pop. I swear if they don't stop changing their mind

make sure you note it on all the ressies, I have heard that every place caters to glutten allergy very well! They even make GF mickey waffles! Have you been on the DISabilities forum? There is lots of GF eating at WDW info there. My friend that was going is GF and I have been on that board looking for good choices here are some food pics http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2942614&highlight=gluten+free

Here are some dining reviews about gluten free eating:

Good morning everyone!!

I have been hard at work rearranging my ADR's-for the better..... and now I have an open space for Be Our Guest... I had originally booked Garden Grill for my Candlelight Processional BUT I really wanted to fit BOG in somehow-I wasnt happy with CS LOL. I decided to cut out GG this trip and switch my CLP to Via Napoli for the 5pm show and dinner at Coral Reef afterwards now we have T-Rex for our first meal and a day at DTD...... I am so excited I cant wait!!!!

This actually looks like the best you've come up with! I don't think you'll miss GG and it was getting in the way. Now....and I mean this in the most loving way....STEP AWAY from the ADRs!!!!

We booked 50's Prime Time for Thanksgiving night. Its looking like we'll probably arrive a day early so I wanted to get something booked tonight. Thrre was only 1 opening for all of dinner for a party of 4.

So glad you got 50s PT! It's one of my absolute favorite restaurants. A great place to spend Thanksgiving!

Yay for you! Gotta love the pirate rooms. And the DIS for keeping us all so well informed. Enjoy the rest of your mini-vacay!

Love Cape May. Crab legs & shrimp! My personal favorites and they do them right. Lots of other great items as well...and the desserts You'll love it!

I've been watching old Murder She Wrote episodes and the first suspect in all of the murders is the one who screamed "I'll kill you". So it's good you put that disclaimer in there!

It is so frustrating when people change their minds, but I think you'll love FQ! If I could convince my DH to spend just a bit more, we would be staying there for sure! It is our favorite resort! Enjoy!

I am so freaking stoked right now!!! My heart is beating out of my chest!! Because of airfare prices being what they were we had decided to drive from Central WI... This morning I was checking my email and I had an airfare alert from Kayak and the prices had dropped $86/person!!!

Needless to say I went to the site and check it out.. Was afraid that it wasn't going to be round trip etc.... But it was!!! I chose the Expedia site because we have an account with them... Then I looked at prices the next day and they were $4 less still and still had times to leave later in the day...

WE ARE FLYING TO DISNEY!!!!

I know I had to make sure to add that because I would never! But I'm glad we're going at all and I don't care where we stay, but I like the transportation options at POFQ and the compact size. Not as big a fan of the colors of the rooms, but that's a silly thing to get hung up on. Thanks though!

good morning everyone

Just curious — why so excited about LC at 9? I'm checking daily to try to get an earlier time. Not only for a more normal dinner time but in hopes we can see Illuminations rather than literally being in the cellar during the show. Leaving the park after closing does sound interesting, but I'd still rather have our ressie earlier in the evening than 8:50...
