Im not happy I have only CS available for BOG... but oh well you cant have everything I guess I wanna see F! more

 

[blackdogg]

$2655 is what I got

think i'm going to switch to POR - GV for 2,318 with Basic Dining... can not justify the RGR when that $200 could go towards something else for this trip... really trying to budget this time and stick to it

 

[Smileybug]

The only thing I am not happy about with my ADR schedule is there is now only one place for BOG to fit into. Everything is lined up so well....I'm just not sure I will be willing to change anything.

This is how I feel. I love the way my ADRs have lined up. I don't think I will be changing any of them. So I have one spot I can work this in.

Thats why I switched it to CS because I dont want to cancel anything and I love the sandwiches on the menu!!! I am not sure about TS but the lunch looooooooks goooooood!

im trying to fit cp in somewhere for dd cause she wants to have an ice ream with eeyeore but every where i try to fit it there are no avail reservations. i only have one spot for bog so im hoping to get that.

no free dining for us
and im putting dh in charge of finding options for our other spots becuase im getting frusterated with having no results.

Anyone, have any info or suggestions for POFQ

Here is a good website that answers lots of questions regarding POFQ. Hope it helps!

Also, congratulations to all of us that got FDing this morning. I went back to bed since it was only 4am but was too much on a Disney high to sleep! :

If you've been walking a lot and are tired, you can take the boat to Cape May and then walk off that delightful meal by walking back to Epcot. That's what we did and it was great!:

Great idea!

 

[vleeth]

There's a menu out for cs bog? Not just the write up in the blog? Can someone point me to it?

 

[mamamini]

For those of you who were asking about favourite snacks, here is a link to a great website! It not only rates the snacks, but also gives you best bang for your buck (sort of speak) for anyone on the DDP. That and a little food porn never hurt anyone! You can search any restaurant or CS and find out reviews/menus, it's great!

Happy reading, I'm a little addicted to it! :

 

[ashleycade]

So I wanna do a list of snacks to try this trip. I thought it may be easier if we did it the way we are doing the packing list. Everyone just take off the quote & add what their favorite snack or a snack they would like to try! (and where it can be found, if you know..)

I'll start...

Snacks to try 2012!
Chocolate cookie filled w/caramel (Karamell-Kuche Germany Epcot)
Caramel corn (Karamell-Kuche Germany Epcot)
Cinnamon glazed Almonds (Harambe popcorn snack AK)
Dole Whip (MK)

 

[DsnyMama]

That's AWESOME!

Thanks!!! I'm pretty excited!!! It's my mom first trip and it's going to be amazing!

 

[Tulles]

I got it!!!!!!! FD for both portions of our trip!!!! Got DDP for our POR part Nov. 9-12 and free QSDP for our AoA part Nov. 12-18. Didn't have to move or change our room catagories at all. We've even decided to upgrade our QSDP to DDP for the 2nd part.

Now I get to ask you guys to review my ADRs (most of them made this morning ) and see what you think. Here goes:

Nov. 9 (arrival day/DTD) - T-Rex @ 5pm
Nov. 10 (AK) - Tusker House @ 10:05am
Nov. 11 (Epcot) - Teppan Edo @ 1:30pm
Nov. 12 (resort switch/shopping day) - no ADRs off site all day w/car
Nov. 13 (MK) - Crystal Palace @ 12:50pm (not sure about this one)
Nov. 14 (HS) - SciFi @ 11:10am & 50's @ 4pm (no hotel break this day)
Nov. 15 (Epcot) - Coral Reef @ 1:10pm (willing to switch to Le Cellier if available)
Nov. 16 (resort day) - Ohana's @ 9:40am & 1900 Park Fare @ 5:50pm
Nov. 17 (MK) - no ADRs catch up on CS meals
Nov. 18 (departure day) - no ADRs

Any opinions?

I am kind of glad I went the route of a hotel discount pin instead of waiting for free dining. It looks like the only way that was going to happen was with a pin since most of early November is void on the free dining promo

 

[DandDmom]

Just added free dining to our trip Nov 23 - Dec 1 at CBR. Saved $1050!!!

Added a night of room only for Nov. 22.
