Congrats on BOG, I know that can be hard to get! I have to make my ADR's in a couple of weeks and I was just wondering if you saw any Fantasmic packages for Minnie's Holiday Dine at H&V? They seem to be missing for November and I was just wondering if you saw them.I was up at 6am and got all my ADR's! Even a Be Our Guest! I was hoping but not counting on it, so yay!

Thank-you so much for checking!
That is the one my kids want the most so we are hoping to get it. I have always stayed away from H&V because of the bad reviews but once my kids saw pictures of the Christmas treats and Characters dressed up they really want to try it, LOL!
I totally agree! My oldest is in Grade 3 and my middle child in Kindergarten. They both do great in school so I have no problem taking them out for our 12 day (8 days missed of school) Disney trip. We drive from Canada so it takes a couple days to get there! The teachers at our school are great though, they usually just tell the kids to have lots of fun.
Taking kids out of school for WDW is always a hot button issue....
But I do it every time....
They will miss 5 days..... All the educators freak out and complain.....every time.....even though both my kids are straight "A" students every report card.
Life needs living, and sometimes rules are stupid....
By the way. a whole bunch of resorts are open in November for FD that were not before...
As long as they do well in school we will take them out for Disney trips.Love this, so true! They grow so fast!!!
Yes I go during FD. I am planning on making the popular adr's towards the end of our trip, so hopefully I might have more chance of getting them. But saying that it will be getting closer to Thanksgiving so I really have gotta take it with a pinch of salt. I am from the uk, so when it opens at 6am it will be 11am here so a much more of a reasonable hour to be ready forYes, for the most part it's cheaper. For instance last Nov. we stayed in a studio at BWV for 8 nights for $1600. It would have been just over double that if we went through Disney. This year we're staying our first 4 nights at BCV for about $200 a night (studio) when it's about $400 through Disney.
There are a couple ways to rent: you can use a 3rd party sight, and I'm not sure I can post those websites on here. Do you belong to any of the Nov. Disney FB groups? There's also a thread on the boards here under DVC Forums where you can rent points from DVC members. When they aren't going to use their points they'll rent them out to others. There are some pros and cons but we've found the pros outweigh the cons.
From your ticker it looks like you go a week before us, so you're there during FD correct? It may be a little difficult to get what you want so I would have some back-up choices, but if you are on right at 6am your chances should be pretty good
. I will be sat with the laptop on and cc at the ready looking like this

It looks from your ticker that you will actually be checking in before FD, so you will get to book your dining before the FD people. This should give you a good shot at getting what you want!Yes I go during FD.

I did a test run and the laptop loaded fine, so that is one less worry
now time to sit back and relax ( well maybe ...lol)

Good to hear! I'll be making ours in 15 days for our group of 11. We are staying offsite, though, so I'll be doing them 1 day at a time, womp wompGot all our adr's that we wanted this morning! Was a little stressed since we have a group of 11. Might not all be at the times we want but I can't complain!
I've noticed that too, November dates are all grayed out. I am hoping that with all the price increases we've seen lately they aren't going to change the other Fantasmic packages to 2 credits like HBD! Maybe they are going to change Fantasmic and some how make it Holiday themed because now HS don't have the Osborne lights anymore?
Me too. This is one that we really would like! Fingers crossedI think your right, maybe they just haven't finalized November park hours.
