are the previews open to all guest or is it only for annual passholders?

and this is the response:

August 8, 2012 Melissa - The previews begin on Nov. 19 for all Guests! Annual Passholders may have an opportunity to attend previews prior to that date, though we don't have any details on that just yet."

Was there something specific in there that makes you think BOG won't be open until the 6th? I've read it a few times and can only see that will be the Grand Opening date with previews (soft openings?!) prior...I was thinking BOG would also need to be soft opened to be smoothly running by the grand opening date, not just the attractions. Did you read more specifically otherwise?

I read this to say,
On December 6th, Disney will have it's "Grand Opening" but it will be open to everyone November 19th and BOG will be serving starting November 20th. So I think those looking for ADR's for Nov. 20 and later should pay close attention around the 19th or 20th of August (90 days).

See, that's what I'm talkin' about!!! That's how I read it too, luvallpricesses. Then the quote from Santa confirms it. I remember when Via Napoli was new and there were soft openings for people to just walk up even though official ressies were beginning at a later date. Also, we rode the July "grand opening" rides in late April when we were there.

I thinking when we go Nov 9 to 16 that we will be able to see a lot of the new area. I just feel like our trip is so close to the 19th date that more then likely they will have several if not all the areas cleaned up enough for use to walk around them. And heres hoping that in that walking around we can actually go into an attraction

I think you're right.

I don't really care for a lot of highlighting and writing in my books. Half.com and places like that are MORE expensive than the bookstore. I have to have my books by the 20 and I don't receive my financial aid until the 17th. I am kind if stuck. All well. No use freaking out about it. Just disappointed my budget was way off.

My daughter graduated this past spring. To stay on budget we checked/priced each textbook out on multiple sources each semester. That meant some were found at the bookstore as they really were cheaper (or not available through rental), some came from Amazon, some from Chegg.com, some from Half-Price Bookstores, some bought from folks ahead of her in her program. We tried to think out of the box. We saved hundreds on books buying them this way each semester. Sometimes works better to buy your books early on as the rental companies can run out of copies the closer you get to the start of the semester. My daughter says that highlighting was not a major problem in most of the books she rented.

It is official. Booked our Disney Trip and Airfare yesterday. Going 11/24-11/29 to celebrate our 25th Anniv. I did manage to get Pop and FD sticking with QS for now. Trying to mark our anniv. and not blow our budget around the holidays, especially as we have to replace garage doors and paint the exterior of our house before winter.....blech! much rather upgrade at Disney but on the flip side---at least we get to go to Disney!!!

Now have to decide when to do MVMCP and Candlelight Proc at Epcot. Is there a separate number to call for dining reservations?

So since I was looking at the sunset times...and it said 5:28 I am assuming that that is when the sun is down. So it starts to get dark a little before that? I am just hoping for a nice atmosphere for my CLP show at 5pm. I cant change it as it messes up my dinner and boardwalk time.... I think itll work out fine but has anyone ever done the 5pm show to offer advice?

(407) WDW-DINE
(407) 939-3463

Both the same thing and they'll get you straight to dining!

 

[aubreysmom09]

Yes that would make since.

 

[aubreysmom09]

Does the CLP cost money or is it part of admission?

 

[AquaDame]

It is part of your admission if you want to get in the standby line, or else you can purchase a dining/show package and have a guaranteed seat.
