***October 2012 Thread*** MNSSHP + Food & Wine - Does It Get Any Better?

[LVSWL]

We are so excited! Finally tweaked our days. Oct 25-Nov 11 at BWV! Yay!
Couple of questions..What can y'all tell me about the Party for the Senses? How much is it? Is it worth it? When can you make a reservation for it?

When are the other "special" events available to reserve, and what suggestions do you have? This is our first F&W, so we are really excited. Thanks!

My DH is getting annoyed with all the Disney talk so have to figure a way to get us all to sit down and decide.

I'm so happy my husband and I are on the same page when it comes to Disney. I actually think he spends twice as much time as I do reading about and searching information about trips to Disney World.
We enjoying going just to eat. We get the Dining Plan and enjoy trying different restaurants.
Our next trip is next week but I have also been the Official Planner for a group trip for my friends and I in October. The 11th-15th. This is a first trip without my husband or kids. All the ladies are excited and looking forward to having fun together.

Your plans sound great! We're going in October too, and have all our ADRs made. We are also planning to do the Wild Africa Trek, but just as an FYI haven't been able to book it because right now the reservations system is only booking that tour up to August 25th. No dates beyond at this point. They keep telling me to try back, but every time I do, it's the same thing. They say they have no idea when it will be that more dates will be released, and they told me that typically, that tour only books 3 to 4 months in advance (although I reminded them that 8/25 was like 5 months from now). In any case I am trying to get 9/30 and haven't been able to. Just so you're not surprised if you should get the same info.

Wish I would have read this first. I tried to make a reservation today for the Africa Trek, but was told they're only booking through August so far, and to keep trying back... But I did get dates to book the Backstage Magic tour. I had to consult our schedule which I left at home. Also need to consult our schedule to book the Royal Table. Everything else is done. Just patiently waiting on the Africa Trek.

So excited to be going back to Disney World this year. Now that ADR's are made, I'm off to work on some of the other details. Happy Planning

Oct. for us too!!!! We are going on a cruise too! I am still working on the land dates. The cruise is on the 18! Also planning on MNSSHP!

I asked to join!

I envy you guys going on the African Trek. I'd love to go on it, but I'm terrified of heights, and I'm not sure I'd be able to handle it. So far the only tour we've gone on is the Behind the Seeds tour at The Land, and I absolutely loved it. We're doing it again this year. I'm such an agriculture nut, even if I can't keep a plant alive to safe my life.

Anyone have any idea when the MNSSHP tickets go on sale? I am so wanting to do this!

I tried to rent DVC points earlier this week, but I was too late with F&W. I almost booked Holiday Inn DTD this morning, but held off. Late this afternoon I got a pin email. It brought a mod right into the same price range as Holiday Inn, so I booked CSR! I am so excited but trip is still a surprise.... On May 4 I will only reveal Universal trip....I think DS will love the pool there! For once I am glad I kept running numbers and trips on the motherland website....

[DW2010]

We'll be at the AoA from 10/1-10/5 to celebrate our daughter's 6th birthday.

 

[Brocktoon]

Got all of a my ADRs taken care of this morning. The online system actually worked without a hitch. I booked 4 dinners for my parents and I ...

10/14 - Le Cellier
10/15 - Coral Reef
10/16 - Chefs de France
10/17 - Yachtsman

Airfare is already booked, and my Swolphin Food/Wine Classic tickets are already puchased. I think this is the earliest that I've ever had everything booked and paid. Now I guess I just sort of relax for another 6 months

How did you get 10% off? That's awesome!!

 

[Marcya23]

Can I join in on the fun?? We are all booked for BC Oct 13-20. Now just waiting for Monday morning to make our ADR's!

 

[wdwfanatic316]

I was wondering the same thing! We get 5% off with the Target credit card, but 10% sounds like so much more!

I know! I have the Target card too, that's why I was wondering how to get 10%! I would much rather get 10%!

I am posting this challenge from our facebook page. For anyone that is crafty, and loves LGMH's....can we get some ideas on a fun Halloween inspired LGMH to wear on our park bags? If you have any ideas or have already got something worked up..post it here and hopefully we can get lots of us to sport them around the World and we will be able to see each other easily.
When I was in a March group in 2011 someone did a Mardi Gras one that was AWESOME!!! And because I wore it I got my first dismeet!!
