I am doing a quick weekend trip February 13-15 for Festival of the Arts so my mother can experience it. We're staying at the Dolphin!

Yesterday was our restaurant ADR day. I was lucky that my husband reminded me when he did because there were a few hard-to-get reservations that I wanted. There were a couple of restautants that were really hard to get even at 60 days out. And San Angel Inn was completely unavailable for any day and any time. It is part of the concert series dining thing.

for the after hours events, do day guests get kicked out early or they have enough time for change over when the parks closed at 9pm?

also I'm coming right when Festival of Arts finish, is doing two days back to back at Epcot silly? too much?

Day guests don't get kicked out early, they can line up as the park closes but when they get off whatever ride they will then have to leave the park.

I like Epcot, so I think it's not silly at all But it also depends on who all you are travelling with. My son is not as keen on Epcot as I am so he might not like it two days in a row.

San Angel Inn had a lot of openings for dinner during our trip. I was able to move one ADR to a little bit later, which was nice. It is definitely worth looking at availability if you didn't get what you wanted at 60 days.

We ended up adding two more days ("we" meaning my mother convinced me and paid for the rooms) so now we are moving to the Yacht Club on the 15th and staying until the 17th.

We ended up getting our ADRs! The only time to get Le Cellier (my mother's choice for the concert dining package) was at 4:50 and is for the last performance of the night.

I did , didn’t need to wake up at 5am central , they were still all there at 9am too!!

Wondering if Starlight will be running twice a night ?

I was able to get 'Ohana for dinner which was my number one priority. We did breakfast awhile back but my kinds are older now and this is the first year we are not doing a dining plan or character dining. It feels weird but I'm looking forward to a little more flexibility in our park days.

I keep checking for Homecoming for our Disney Springs day but for now we have The Edison. Also I have a 10:10 Beak & Barrell but hoping for something a little later in the day.

Wife and I returning for our yearly February Presidents week trip February 15th through the 20th) staying at Coronado Resort!

Can’t wait for our trip February 22-26, staying at CBR! My brother has always thought we were crazy to go to Disney so many times, but he’s finally agreed to come once to see what the hype is all about. So it’s my hubby and me, my brother and sister-in-law, and my sister and brother-in-law for a laid back couples trip! We will do our favorite rides and shows, but we also like eating and enjoying the bars and lounges around the world.

Our ADR day was Christmas Eve and I was able to get the ressies we wanted. Here’s our plan:

Feb 22: DS for lunch at The Boathouse and some time at Jock Lindsay’s and a couple of other spots; then MK in the evening with a ressie for drinks at The Beak and Barrel, which is new to us. It will also be the first time we see the new nighttime parade, which I am super excited about! We will just do QS in the evening after our big lunch.

Feb 23: Epcot for Festival of the Arts; we always have breakfast at the French bakery, we got a ressie for Geo-82 which is new to us, and we will munch our way around the festival booths and QS spots throughout the day.

Feb 24: AK for the day; we love Nomad Lounge and several of the QS there. We’ll then go to DS for dinner at Raglan Road and some bar hopping.

Feb 25: HS for the day; we got a ressie at Oga’s Cantina and we love the Brown Derby patio lounge and Baseline Tap House, too. We are thinking we will take a hotel/ pool break in the afternoon and then get an early dinner at Bar Riva at the Riviera before ending the evening at HS.

We live in Buffalo, NY so by then we will be ready for some sunshine and warm breezes!

When do you you think we will get info on Starlight? We are going to MK on an After Hours party day and I'm hoping we will still get to see it.

I just answered my own question - I can see 1/12 is the same and Starlight is at 7:45pm only. I'm assuming it will be the same for our day.

Yes! My wife and I will be dining at San Angel Inn for dinner, Summer House for dinner (arrival day), Crystal Palace for Breakfast, Boatrights @ POR (never been), Sebastians @ CBR, Whispering Canyon @ WL (breakfast) Boma @ AKL (breakfast) Kona @ Poly (breakfast) and Hoop Dee Doo for dinner (of course!) We try to spread it around. We always seem to end up at Three Bridges when we stay at Coronando, so I bet we get some appetizers or drinks there as well. Can't come soon enough...snow, wind, cold is especially brutal here in Upstate NY this winter so far.

We got Beak & Barrel at MK for dinner time and then that night is EEH, lucky. On HS day we are doing Sci-Fi as we have not done so in some time...lol. Then doing a surprise for the fam and doing Wicked Wind Down at Contemporary. Have never done anything like that so should be cool. Finally, we are doing Grand Floridian Brunch. Also, doing after hours at Epcot 1 night.

We are only eleven days away from check in at POR on Sunday, Feb 1st. I hope the weather gets better by then. We don't expect to go swimming in February, but it is nice not to have to wear heavy coats.

I know! I'm fine with sweatshirts but not coats! I'm trying to leave that behind!

I'm a couple weeks out but agree! I was here during the cold snap in November and as NOT prepared. I'm already planning on bringing my light fall jacket to be on the safe side but I'd like to leave the winter coat in my car in New England for the weekend lol.
