Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!​

Happy Thanksgiving to you too and Everyone. Happy Black friday shopping deals to everyone!! Hope ya'll get some great stuff

 

[PoohsFan1]

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving, so how many of you went out super early to take advantage of Black Friday's specials???? I work for a retail store in my mall and we were opened at midnight so of course I was one of the people working that crazy hour until 6 this morning. There were a ton of people out....crazy. Anyways hope all had fun.

I don't step foot out of my house on Black Friday. I worked Black Friday back in 04 as a cashier at Wal-Mart and swore never again to work retail after that.

Thank you silverhaze269, the link you posted now shows the month of June!!

We finally decided we are going May 14 - 21st, hopefully AKV. I ran out of points this year and have to wait until Dec 1st to book.

I'm definitely behind on ADRs but hope to make them soon.

I, too, will have all my bags and strollers loaded with LGMH!

I called yesterday from Wal-Mart while shopping the Black Friday deals, and got the ADR's I wanted within 5 to 10 mins of the time slots I wanted, including Le Cellier!!!

I was able to make my reservations this morning. I was supposed to call my time 6am for Disney time of 7am and I didn't get up this morning.

Anyway, I called around 7:30 my time which is 8:30 Disney time. I was sure I wouldn't get Cinderella's Royal Table, because everyone always says how hard it is to get an ADR here.

Well I still got everything I wanted.

We are on the dining plan and I know I used more that the credits we will have. But we used the promotion for free dining, so we will have to pay for 3 meals. I will pay for the 3 least expensive ones. We will still come out ahead.

 

[StEpHandMiKe<3Disney]

So are there any deals for the beginning of May to book???? I know free dining is at the end of May but we normally go May 8th-15th. Any help would be appreciated.

How do people get pin codes???? I feel I'm pretty Disney savvy and yet I never get one. We go every year, sometimes twice!!!! We always stay at Wilderness Lodge.
