Does anyone else think dinner at La Hacienda during Illuminations is one of the best kept secrets in all of WDW? I know it's gaining in popularity but our family thinks is the highlight of our trips.

I've never been there but read that the views aren't great. I would love to blame the kids for eating dinner way earlier then the shows but my DH is particular about eating times. 5:30-7:30 would be acceptable nothing else. Lol!!

Yeah...the trick is to set your ressie about 1 hour before the show. Then when they seat you...if you don't get a table in the room next to the big windows...tell the cast member that you don't mind waiting for a better seat. It's amazing.
 
FYI...I checked renting DVC points and was told every single studio was reserved from at least Oct 1-14. It appears that time of year is super booked already.
 
I can see it. Doesn't look like we can tell. Was it possible to stay last Sept and book FD BB in December? December wasn't in BB dates right?

So typical he called you a troll when he is one.
We all know where the COOL kids hang out...right here.....don't worry friends we will all get our FD it's just a matter of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
DHS for us is:

TSMM
TOT
GMR
RnR

That can be done in just a couple of hours. This time we will be adding all the Star Wars stuff for my grandsons but still don't think it'll fill an entire day. Need to be there early to sign up for Jedi Training but I know they'd like Fantasmic. We'll take a nice long break at SciFi. Is the HISTK playground still there?

Rose and Crown or La Hacienda?

Which location is better for Illuminations - we were palnning on Rose and Crown but honestly I was not excited about the menu there.

Leaning on the veterans, which has better food and which has better viewing?
 
Is someone passing out invites to a forum outing?

Just checked my inbox and it was empty....

:wave2:Curious to what people are wanting PM'd! I'm banking on some sort of deal. If there isn't any good discounts we won't be able to afford the honeymoon we are dreaming of!

Of course, our last few trips have been at value resorts and we are dreaming of staying at a deluxe, preferably poly.

So who knows. Just waiting around, stalking the threads for any leads!

Living on the west coast with 3 hour time difference between home and WDW I am always trying to get the latest ADRs. I have a 7:15 Rose and Crown ADR and I'm actually hoping it will take them some time to seat us and I plan to dilly dally for a while with drinks and appetizers. My tummy doesn't want dinner at 4:00 home time. I plan to delay ordering food until at least 8:00 as that is totally the earliest I could possibly eat.

Fall break season. My school has fall break 9/30-10/15 and a lot of others have break from Columbus Day to Cesar Chavez day.
