Good Morning Everyone! I am so glad I got things finalized yesterday, we decided to go with the F! package and try MM! We moved BOG to only CS but thats fine with me I cancelled all unneccessary ADR's and they are gone which means we are stuck... in a good way...with what we have

Now when do you have your Disney picnic to present the schedule to your party goers? I'm so happy that you got it all completed!

I had some very vivid dreams about my ADRs last night. My husband got home from work this morning I told him about my dreams, he had the never to call me a crazy women

So my dreams are telling me to change my ADR for Spirt of Aloha. My husband and I honeymooned in Hawaii. My 4 year old is a little nutty about going there so she can surf (cannt wait till she is big enough to do the surf school at Typhoon Lagoon) so I think the kids are going to love the show. I have it booked for our first day which is a sunday. But being at AoA I think we will want extra time to explore. Im going to switch it.

And I think I want to do a Fantasmic dinner package but not a Mama melrose.

It looks like I need some advice....
My sister who lives overseas told me today that she might be coming to visit us in November and wants to join us on our trip to DW. The main reason of her visit is to spend time with my kids as we were all supposed to travel overseas in the summer to visit but now I'm going alone.

Anyways, my issue is that I have already finalized all our ADR'S (there's not that many as it's only a 5 day trip) but if she decides to join us, I will need to change everything to 5 guests instead of 4.
Will it be difficult to change the number of guests? Will I have to rebook everything for 5 people? I've already checked, and for some of the ADR'S I don't see a problem making a new reservation, for others I will have to switch around some dates if I can't just add another person but for CRT, everything is booked. What are my options?

We had this happen last year when my MIL ended up joining us last minute. The ADRs I couldn't change we just showed up with 5 people instead of 4 and it was no problem (I think we only did it twice and I can't remember where). Can't promise it will be the same case for you, but it worked for us.

I hurried to make my one ADR at Rainforest Cafe @ AK before FD was released. We have ressies for 9 people for a noon lunch (courtesy of MyPoints, lol ). Yay!

Now dh is teasing me with the possibility of a character dinner. His real estate business seems to FINALLY be picking up, and if things go well, he's suggested putting the money aside for the character dinner I'd love to attend, 1900 Park Fair. I've looked and there are still openings but I'd hate book and then not be able to go. That would be harder for me than there not being an opening, kwim? Another issue is that my parents, my sister, and sis's SO are traveling with us, and I don't want to force them into an expensive character meal that we'd be paying for OOP. Hmmmmm....?

I would just make the ADR for 1900PF. At least that way, you will have that ADR just in case. I know if you will have to cancel it, it will be hard, but that's what other trips are for And you said you don't want to make your family pay OOP for an expensive character meal. Well, it is a great experience, I have heard the food is good, and who doesn't love meeting characters? I think you would all have a great time and I think it would be well worth it!

I'm super excited to be staying at AoA LM room but I was slightly disappointed when I saw a pic of the outside of the LM buildings with exterior doors/walkways. I know it's not a big deal but was surprised after seeing all the other buildings. Does that seem odd to anyone else?

We are in the opposite boat - may be going from 5 people to 4, but we're probably just going to leave the ADRs alone for now.

The one place I can think of where going from 4 to 5 can be a problem is Le Cellier which apparently doesn't have a lot of options for larger parties. A couple of years ago (traveling with 5) we asked for a print-out of our ADRs @ check-in. Interestingly they all had 5 guests listed with the exception of our LeCellier one. The agent on the phone must have made an error as this ADR only had 4 guests listed?! I asked the CM at the resort if he thought it was going to be a problem and he said "yup"! He called LeCellier directly and they stated there was no way to get 5 of us in that night?!? Long story short - several calls to managers finally led to them accommodating us (although the table was a tad tight for 5!!!).

yeah me too. I was hoping for the interior hallways. I posted this on the AoA thread and people were saying that the family suites only have the interior hallways.

Hi everyone I have a question! I am going solo and have everything booked including free dining . Now a friend of mine wants to join me but wouldn't stay as long as I will. She'd stay in my room and would need tickets but how would that work? Could she say, stay 3 nights with dining or have I read somewhere that she would have to stay the same length of my package. That can't be right?

Sorry I'm all confused !

If she's going to be on the dining, she has to stay the same amount of nights I believe. Pretty sure everyone has to be on the same package. I have read you can have her show up and add her to the room for just the extra person fee, but not to the dining plan.

Okay, but is there an extra person fee if I'm solo? I didn't think there was. She'd get tickets but only for a few days. If she comes she also wants us to move to Shades of Green but, that ain't gonna happen lol!

I’m all over the place – feel like I’m not getting a “WHOLE” day at MK?!? BUT not sure what to do about it!

I also have H&V Fantasmic reservations for 11/26 but I really wanna try 50’s on 11/28 instead since it’s only a “3” that day I’m hoping the wait for Fantasmic won’t be too bad?!?!
