Added you to our trip planning post!
 
I have our trip completely planned out and booked, aside from the Candlelight Processional Dining Package; my alarm is set for 4:45 AM tomorrow to get that booked. :crazy2:

I would LOVE to see Brendan Fraser, but we won't be there that week. We have decided to see Ashley Eckstein since she is performing the day we want to see it. I am sure it will be great! :lovestruc

I'll be joining you in the early morning booking tomorrow! It's the second-last piece of my planning 😀
 

Well, they did not open on time but I finally got what we wanted. I am struggling to book for a party of two sometimes, so I had to book a party of three.

That is super frustrating, especially since I booked Biergarten and seating is communal. If they can seat 3, they can seat 2 and I have no regrets “gaming the system”.
 
Ugh! I was working a double shift last night but I did go looking at about 4am (it wasn't open yet, wasn't sure what time they opened if it was midnight or 6am). Then I got super busy and didn't get a chance to go back on. I actually didn't get out of there till about 9:30 (got there at 3pm yesterday (that's a LONG day...) I went home and got in the bed (at 11am :cat: ) and forgot all about it. I woke up at 1:50 when my husband was getting ready for work and I took him to work (He usually walks we live less than a mile from his work) and I came home and was ready to get back into the bed and remembered.

I was able to reserve a package for the day I wanted (12/15 8:15 show Henry Winkler) but it was not the restaurant we really wanted, we wanted Biergarten but that didn't even show up on the list. I didn't even think to try for 3 people, I just assumed it was just booked. We did Garden Grill for 1:45. I have been there years ago (I think it was 1999) and liked it. I know my husband won't be overly thrilled with characters but I think he will enjoy the menu. I came close to Le Cellier but I'm not really a big red meat fan and the Non red meat things on the menu there don't really appeal to me except the soup which isn't even part of the package. We loved it when we went there years ago but the menu has changed a few times since then. I'm bummed but at least I was able to get something seeing as I was so late in the day trying.

I guess we'll just have to try and get a regular Biergarten ADR for our other Epcot day.

Oh no, so sorry! We enjoy Garden Grill, it is an easy meal. Sit, relax, they bring the food and y'all can chill!

Ugh, I'm sorry! If it helps, I was on right at 6 and I never saw Biergarten come up as an option. We wanted Via Napoli, but that also never showed up as an option even after refreshing a ton. I'm just happy we got something!

Thank you!

I did book a regular dinner on our other Epcot day but I did have to put it in for 3 people.

So excited!! Made my Advanced Dining reservations this morning, 60 day countdown. I got Garde Grill for Candlelight dining on December 23, Toledo's dinner on December 21, Roundup Rodeo on December 22 (first time trying Round up) and Topolino's for Christmas morning. We do have the dining plan so I think getting good deal with Christmas week pricing.

Disney has the hours out up til Tuesday of our dates.......Most are 8:30 am - 9:00 am for Early Entry except AK is 7:30 am -8:00 am....I'm hoping the EE will change the closer to our dates......

The early morning is great for doing a ride or two, also at Beach you have extra evening, on Monday at Epcot and Wednesday at Animal Kingdom so I would definitely do that, you can get a lot done during those with little lines. Oh I just read you have Jollywood on Wednesday so you cannot do extra evening at AK, but that's okay the party will be fun and can do a lot Magic Kingdom does have the party on the Tuesday & Friday you picked not sure if you want to change that? Personally if I were you, I would do Epcot on Monday with extended evening hours. You'll have so much fun with all of the Christmas stuff and Beach Club in the best!!
