**November 2019 check in ***

Just booked WOC for Nov. 20 (finally)! Now I can stop obsessively checking the page.

I got my WOC dining package for the 20th too!

Now if I could just get Fantasmic for the 21st I'd be all set!

So the park is opening at 9 instead of 8 that day? I just looked and the schedule doesn't even show details: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/calendars/magic-kingdom/2019-11-19/ . I wonder why?

Well you linked WDW and this form is discussing Disneyland, so that could be why.

Just decided on a very last minute trip 11/6-11/9. Pretty excited about it, but then realized it’s the first weekend for the holiday season. Now I’m nervous about the crowds. How crowded do you think it will actually be?

 

[mamapenguin]

I’m not sure about 11/6 & 11/7, but I expect 11/8 & beyond to be very crowded especially the weekends.

Just book WOC dessert party for Nov 6!!
If I see correctly Christmas starts Nov 8. Last time we were there we saw It's a Small World in it's Christmas amazement, but couldn't get on the ride (wait time to long). This time we hope to go on it.
How is the food at Wine Country Trattoria? Seems to be the same kind of menu as Mama Melrose in Disney World which is really good.

personally I think WCT is pretty meh. You could definitely do better elsewhere in the parks.

dl calendar still showing 8 am opening. However, they will often change opening times based on expected crowds.

We're coming from Australia for our first family trip over 11/7 - 11/9! Staying at the HoJo!

Currently Frozen Live at the Hyperion is running Sunday to Thursday - does anyone know if this will revert back to the daily schedule once the holidays starts?

I was planning on being in DCA for Friday 11/8 (with one park per day tickets) but if this current schedule stays then we'll miss Frozen which will be such a disappointment. I'm very reluctant to upgrade to park hoppers as I don't think we'd really get value from them (travelling with two small kids) other than potentially hopping over to DCA to watch it on Thursday 11/7. Currently checking the entertainment schedule a few times a day for updates!

YAY! We'll literally see you there.

 

[Theosaur]

I really hope they post the Festival of Holidays menu soon!! I’ve been checking every day!

Sorry if this has been discussed but is the Fantasmic Dessert Party not a thing anymore? We did it the last time we were there and loved it and I was hoping to book it again for our November trip but I can't find any mentions of it on the Disneyland website, just World of Color.

I believe Fantasmic only has dinner packages (through Hungry Bear and Blue Bayou) and no dessert parties.

 

[goooof1]

Nope, no more dessert parties for !Fantasmic! River Belle Terrace also has dining packages along with Blue Bayou and Hungry Bear.

I will be there from November 1-4! First time in Disneyland. Very excited!

Me too...why no Frozen Live OR Disney Jr. dance party after 11/3?

For those attending the WOC/Seasons of Light dessert party in November, is there a check-in time listed on your reservation? Mine just says the reservation time (8:30 p.m.). I'm specifically attending the showing on Nov. 20. Thanks!

 

[mamapenguin]

My email says to please check in 1 hour before showtime. (For Season of Light)

Yes, that’s what mine is saying as well...

Does anyone have any info on why DCA is closing at 5pm on November 21st? Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know why as well...that's our first day in the parks. What's interesting is that the calendar lists Festival of Holidays as going until 8pm and Viva Navidad happening at 8pm, both at DCA. Which makes me think maybe there's a private corporate event that night?
