This trip I let DD pick since she's been working so hard her first semester in college. We have breakfast at 1900 PF to see Alice then Downtown Disney for a day of shopping and dinner at her favorite TRex.

We'll take the boat back to POFQ

14 days for us too!!!

Our plans for that day is to go to AK. We always have an ADR for Breakfast at Tusker House. Since we are staying at POFQ I originally had dinner ADR at Boatwright but the last couple of days decided to cancel it and go with the flow. Did not want to be tied to too many ADR for such a short trip.

Sounds like a great day and Tusker House breakfast is so good.

Sounds great!!!! Guess we can count down together!!!!!


I'm still trying to get an ADR for California Grill for the end of November. Wanted to surprise my DH for our 10 year anniversary!!!! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed I can find one!

Good luck and keep checking even after you've arrived at Disney. We have had good luck with last minute ADR's while we're there.

Eeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! My mom and I leave tomorrow for our Disney trip, can't wait! Will have to wake up at 3am for our flight, but totally worth it!

Woo-hoo!!!!

We'll be there Thanksgiving week as well.

For Thansgiving we'll be having breakfast at GFCafe and a early dinner at MBYBBQ.

I've never been at this time, so we're all looking forward to seeing the decorations and such.

I've heard a few mention that it could be over crowded, but I think we have a good plan of attack, which is basically half park time, half relaxation time.

Cheers to all!

To all those who wrote about Thanksgiving, you guys all sound like you have fun days planned! Hope you all have a great trip!!!!!

We typically avoid the parks that week, and make our ADR's during that time for our favorite resort restaurants. The following week is saved for the parks!

For Thanksgiving dinner, we are surprising the kids at Chef Mickey's!! We have eaten there before for breakfast, but they have no idea they'll be there this year! I think they'll be so happy!!!!!!

To everyone leaving this week, have a Great time!!!!

Wow you did a better job checking than me. I only saw the deluxe and Mod RO discount. Lots of options.

Eeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! My mom and I leave tomorrow for our Disney trip, can't wait! Will have to wake up at 3am for our flight, but totally worth it!

Woo-hoo!!!!

Yes 3am to go to WDW is worth it. The local airport flight would have made me get up at 4am to come home. That wasn't worth it so we found another airport and took the late day flight.
Have a blast. Happy for you! So gloomy here, I wish I was back looking at the palm trees and blue sky. guess I'll have to refer to pictures for now.

So fun to hear about people surprising the kids. That's super fun I'm sure. At this time my DH is the only one I can Disney surprise, so my hope is to get the points and deal I need to get us back and stay at a monorail resort sooner than 4 years. We'll see. Our son has 3 more semesters of college. So might be more hopeful than I imagine. Hopefully he'll be in a job to pay his own rent by then.

Pixie dust wishes to you all.

We leave tomorrow morning. I'm very excited, but sad that my little girl is sick with a bad cold and a have to leave her with her grandparents. I hate leaving her when she doesn't feel well.

What a treat your kids will love it
We had Thanksgiving dinner at Chef Mickey's before and really enjoyed it.

I agree it's amazing how much the crowds thin out the week after Thanksgiving.

I'm so sorry to hear your little girl isn't feeling well. I hope you have a wonderful trip

Thanks for sharing! That's great to hear! I've only had breakfast there, and I've heard mixed reviews about dinner, but we're going more for the kids happiness than anything else.

I have to say, typically that is the case (lighter crowds the week after) but last year it wasn't all that better. Definitely the longest lines I've been on, and we've been going the same two weeks since 2004. We assumed it was because of Fast Pass being tested. Hopefully things will be better this year!

Hope you have a great trip!!!

Well, we just got home and had a great time! Although we had a few issues along the way, overall everything went really well.

Our biggest surprise was that our stay at Disney's Hilton Head became the highlight of the whole vacation. We went to HHI expecting an off-season experience, like sitting in our studio room watching tv. Instead, we got upgraded to a 2-bedroom villa on the water and found a resort that had great amenities and activities, even in the off-season. Our girls had so much fun, they didn't want to leave and are already asking to go back.

Happy to have another safe and fun Disney vacation in the record books!

We leave in three hours. I should probably finish packing.

The good news? I finished painting our shirts and sewed a new zipper on my favorite sweater.
The bad? DD18 and I woke up with head colds this morning. Think healthy thoughts for us!

I looked outside this morning and saw snow. So glad we are leaving tonight. It's going to be a long day at work.
