Is anyone have luck with Tusker House 1/15-1/19. To me this is so strange there is plenty available every other dates besides this. Just wondering if they haven't released these days yet?

 

[Burgermom]

has anyone had any luck booking Fantasmic dining packages for late Jan/early Feb?

I've been wondering the same thing. No luck here either and I've been trying for 1/17 since it was 60+7 for me. I signed up for a notification and there hasn't been a peep of any availability.

I bought the last Disney giftcard I needed for our trip. Meijer does a good "Mperks" deal where you get a "$5 off your cart" coupon for ever $50 in giftcards you buy. I max out that deal with a $500 giftcard (And $50 worth of coupons that I can easily expend in a single grocery trip ). I consulted my spreadsheet to review the TS and QS restaurants we plan to eat at and made a rough food budget (snacks too, of course!) and it came out to just under the amount of money I have on giftcards! I just love it when a plan comes together!! I love Christmas, but I find myself thinking, "hurry up and get over with, Christmas! I want to start packing!!"

This morning, they briefly opened up H&V packages for the last week of January, but there were so few, and they were gone in minutes. I think they will open more restaurants and more slots.

Just saw this in a different thread
Fantasmic released

Waiting for the “Rose and Crown fireworks dining” to be available For end of Jan. the CM I spoke to when I called tried to tell me that it was alll sold out and insisted this was the case even when I told him I didn’t think anything was released yet for the end of Jan. So many of the cast members know sooo little...I had to call 3X before I found a CM who would change my ADR for Cinderella’s castle from 4 people to 3...they kept telling me nothing was available and one insisted it had to do the with the availability of the size of the needed table...even when I pointed out that i didn’t need a different size table I just needed to pay for one less person at the table I already have an ADR for! Sometimes getting these ADRs is really a PIA!

30 days!!!! We are so excited! Our Touring Plans room requests are being sent today for AKL Kidani and in two days for CBR (we figured we’d ask for one of the newly renovated rooms but realize chances are low that we will get one). We are still trying to switch our lunch at Homecomin’ to brunch, but it’s not the end of the world if we don’t. The only thing left to do this week is to order some birthday squad t-shirts from Etsy (sis is turning 60 and niece is turning 30 while we are there), which we need to do today so they arrive on time. Let’s gooooo!!!

Have you begun packing yet? I'm always curious when folks start packing for Disney. I usually start the process a month out because there are plenty of items to gather that I don't use in my day to day life and it makes the trip feel that much closer
