Cross posted: This is our first trip to Disney World. We have a 6 yr old girl and 2 yr old boy. We have reservations at Akershus and Biergarten but I'm wondering if we should cancel and just plan to eat at the food and wine festival? Any advice is appreciated.

Ha! I just posted to you in another thread, but I'll post again. Keep Biergarten! Your kids will love the dancing! Prost!!

Building 4 at POFQ sounds perfect for you!
Have fun!!

My sister got a FD Pin for October and I was able to get it applied to our POFQ ressie! Had to upgrade to a Garden View. Goes Garden View effect the buidling? I was so excited that the PIN could be applied to our trip that I forgot to request Building 4 and need to call back at some point to add the request, plus we don't want to stay on the ground floor.

Thanks.

Oh, lucky you!!!!
Garden view at POFQ in building 4 means you won't be directly facing the parking lot.
Check out portorleans.org for more info. about this resort if you haven't done so already! There are maps of all the rooms in every building that are garden view.

Ok now that we have the dining plan our ADRs feel official. I have 8 TS credits but only have reservations for 7 TS meals. I was thinking about holding onto that last one so we could use it somewhere more on the fly. I know that rules out the more popular restaurants but I'm okay with that. I just can't figure out where else I'd fit a TS meal at this point. This is what I have, our first day in the park is Monday, 10/28.

Mon - Epcot - Tokyo Dining (lunch)
Tue - MK - CRT (late breakfast for DD and I)
Wed - HS - Sci-fi (lunch)
Thu - Epcot - Biergarten (dinner)
Fri - no park plans - Ohana (late breakfast)
Sat - AK - Tusker House (lunch)
Sun - MK - no reservations
Mon - no park plans (we leave at noon) - Chef Mickey (breakfast)

What do you think? Am I missing anything major? Do I need to make another reservation or can I just hold onto it for more flexibility?

I think your ADR's look fine. You can always make a few extra ADR's now and cancel them closer to your trip. What about CP at MK on the Sunday?

We love going in October, the weather is nice it's less crowded and Fodd and Wine festival. We are staying at Beach Club Villas (which only took 5 phone calls to book) and we got reservations to Be Our Guest!!! Of course I had to rediesign our travel itinerary around one restaurant but oh well. We are taking my mother-in-law for her first trip, along with DS 10 and DD 8. I am very excited for her reaction to my favorite place in the world!!

Booked my Oct 21-28 trip Thursday, sent a request to the FB page, and didn't get BOG bc I was slow and booked within the 180 mark. Oh well still super excited! Also called to see if I had a pin attached to my name bc I really really really want POFQ with fd. I don't think I'll skip out of POFQ this year like I did last year when I missed it (WL was awesome though) even if I don't get fd.

I wonder if someone can share what a PIN email looks like????

It will come from Disney Destinations, but you can call Disney at 1(407)W-DISNEY and just ask if there are any PINs associated with your account.

I'll be a solo traveler for this one while attending a conference in Orlando from October 26th-30th. The conference has block of rooms for Beach Club so hoping to score one of those rooms when registration opens! Also planning on seeing MNSSHP for the first time on the 27th.

You posted your MNSSHP date as the 29th in my guest list thread. Which date is correct?
