Out of these...which would you cancel
MM with reserved F! seating
WCC
T-Rex
LTT
1900PF

I am thinking that I can fit everything but 1900PF dinner by canceling MM and If I cancel LTT and 1900PF I can keep MM and WCC. No one has asked for MM(just doing it for F!) but ppl have asked for LTT, WCC and T-Rex I will go crazy before Aug 4th!

I would get rid of Mama Melrose. I haven't heard the greatest reviews of it. I guess it's just alright. Even if you are doing it for the Fantasmic package, I would go for another restaurant at DHS.

I am tired of second guessing myself so I'm going to let all of you do it for me. I have a ressie at Ohana's on 11/29 at 8:15pm with Holiday Wishes at 9:30. The fireworks are not what has me worried since Ohana often seats late and, thanks to allergies, TS meals usually last 1.5 hrs anyway. My problem is that I'm also doing Fantasmic that night at 6:30pm. Am I going to have enough time to get from HS to the Poly by bus? Should I drive instead? Am I totally crazy for rushing and to look for a ressie at 8:30 or 8:45?

I have the same difficulty on one of our nights. F! looks to be only one show per night at that time of year, and the exit time is notoriously slow. But the park closes at 7 that night, so you can't hang around with a late ADR. We booked CR for dinner at 8:25. The drive from HS to Epcot is 15 minutes with no traffic, and the exit time from F! to parking at HS is no longer than 30 minutes, according to my research. That's 45 minutes, plus 15 minutes to walk from Epcot entrance to CR, or an hour total. That leaves us a 25-minute cushion, which I thought was almost certainly enough. So, I think it can be done if you drive. I would say anything else could be pushing it...

I think it's ridiculous that 50's PTC is not included in the F! package. I DON'T think MM is worth it, even WITH the F! package. We really disliked it both times we tried it... I'd try to do F! without the package.

Do NOT give up! Look every day as often as you can. People cancel all the time. I think CP will have more availability when BOG booking starts. And you'll have as much chance for BOG as anybody else. Also, at 45 days, when final payment is due, many people cancel. Have faith and keep looking.

Just wondered if any of you had experience with eating a breakfast at 'Ohana. How long should I plan this meal to last? I have a 7:35am ADR. Will I be able to make rope drop if MK opens at 9am? I also have a 4:30pm ressie at LTT that day. The other spot I could fit 'Ohana in is on our first morning. That is supposed to be a resort day for us. (I want to avoid the parks as it is the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend and I'm assuming the crowds will still be there.) I would have a 10:40am ADR that day, but then have a 5:15pm ADR at CM. I just think that would be a lot of running around that day and not enough relaxing by the pool. Notice I am really hoping for warm weather. I know the weather can go either way, but we are hoping. Anyway, I hope that all made sense and I appreciate your input.

Also, I hope everyone who is hoping to get FD tomorrow is able to get what they want!

I hope everyone is going to sleep early tonight so that they can be up bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning for your FD'ing!

Pixie dust for you all, I hope you all get the packages that you want!!

We almost always do Best Friend's Breakfast as our first day breakfast. I have never been concerned w/ rope drop, but would say the meal can be enjoyed in an hour and a half. HTH

Not alone! I am trying in vain to find a night for Ohana to no avail. Things are booked tight right now, but keep trying in the next couple months! You're bound to find something.

I work nights so I just woke up, but I'm all ready! I have a comfy spot to sit in while I wait and my phone is charged. Bring on FD!

If making rope drop is really that important to you( you may be a few minutes late to MK opening) I would def do the second choice with the later CM... I dont think its too much running around but thats just me

I ALWAYS feel this way. I ask for opinions and they only give me a choice THEY want not what I ask them. Like they say 'whatever you want. but hey did you fit blah blah in?'
