OFFICIAL NOVEMBER 2017 THREAD

[dnllmz]

Yes! I really want to finalize our dates but I'm waiting for SW to open up flights. Plus my ADRs may change based on the timing of our flight home.

Anyone else going crazy waiting for SWA to release the November flight schedules???? May 18th needs to get here. And then May 30th so I can plan ADRs!

Yes! Waiting on Southwest and Spirit so I can compare prices. Southwest is supposed to release through January 7, 2018 on May 18th.

Yes! I've been checking maybe once a week to make sure the date hasn't been moved!

10 days until I can book my ADRS! I am getting nervous because there are 5 MVMCP nights in the 9 days we are there. We don't usually PH very much because we always found it hard with 3 little ones. Our youngest is now 4 so we are going to try to hop more this trip, but I am finding it is making planning more complicated this time. The last couple of times my MDE account showed a countdown of how many days until we could book ADR's and FP+ but I don't have this feature now. I have those dates figured out but I am wondering if it is a glitch that we effect my full ADR window opening up this time. Does everyone else still have this countdown in your MDE? I usually have crowd calendars printed out and my plan ready by now but all 3 kiddos were sick and now I am trying to catch up.

I don't see it on my MDE either. I haven't bought tickets yet so I know FP countdown probably wouldn't come up for me but nothing for ADRs. There's 3 nights of MVMCP and 1 night for the CM private party in MK when we go. So 4 nights MK closes early. We were going to try park hopping but we decided to not purchase park hoppers. We're staying at the BW so we might as well take advantage of the nighttime entertainment there. And if we change our minds while there, we'll just add park hoppers then. Last trip, we were at the park fairly early and my kids had a hard time on the nights we stayed at the parks late. So I'm trying not to plan too much at night.

I don't see the countdown anymore, either. Weird.

I know its hard with little ones! We have 3 between 4 and 10 and the oldest DS wants to stay later but our little DS usually falls asleep in the stroller. My in the middle DD could go either way, lol! We are trying to do a couple of nights but then sleep in the next day. We didn't have PH last time and were fine without it. This time we got it because we purchased the Canadian tickets and it wasn't much more for PH. My oldest wants to go to HS more then once and we don't want to spend 2 full days there so we thought we could just hop to a different park later.

I know, I've always had the countdown. I just don't want my 9 days for ADR's not to open all at once next weekend. I wonder if this is something new?

I saw some people in one of my FB groups saying the server was down this morning and they couldn't book the +10 days. I wonder if it's related.

Maybe. I might call on the weekend to see if it will affect booking my +10 next Saturday morning.

DH and I are going down on the Auto Train for a b2b cruise on Royal and then a 5 night stay at SOG. We'll be at SOG Nov 5-10. So, it's almost time for our ADR's. Only doing 3 or so this trip. We plan to make this a more relaxing trip so no rush to get anywhere and do QS as much as possible. Being we are using military tickets, and staying at SOG, we can't do fastpasses until 30 days out so that's another reason we're just going with the flow. We love SOG.

I will be busy May 18th in the morning, that's both my ADR day and when Southwest releasing flights. It will be an interesting morning.

 

[KNovacovschi]

Not sure if anyone has checked lately but it looks like the countdown is now working, at least mine is showing.

I can see that countdown but I still don't see the countdown for how many days until I can book ADR's and FP+. It used to have the countdown for both of these and I am not sure if it isn't working or they got rid of that feature? I am nervous my 10+ days won't open up next weekend. It's easier to book online and not have to call from Canada and pay a small fortune while they figure it out.

YES!! I was just checking daily for a while until I wised up and checked if they'd posted when they were actually going to release the flights. Now I'm checking just in case they release them early...

Oh, I've never had a countdown for ADRs in MDE since I've been using it and that's been a few years, it did say the date previously when I could book FPs however it doesn't right now because not only do I have my FD package I also have the CDN promo tickets and I can technically book FPs now.

It used to tell you how many days until you can book ADR's and how many days until you can make FP+. It was under the "My Plans" section of MDE. I have been using it for the past 5 years because my kids like to know how many days until we can book ADR's and FP+, LOL.

Huh, I wonder why I've never noticed it, I've been using it for just as long. I sometimes don't notice important things, lol.

I usually book a package and this is the first year I booked a RO and then added DDP and tickets separately. Maybe you can only see it if you book a package? Do you usually book a RO or package? I probably wouldn't have noticed it either but I found it was easier to check my MDE instead of looking at the calendar every week and counting the days for the kids.

Happy upcoming 40th Birthday fellow Canadian! We will be at WDW around the same time as you. November 9-17 and DS turns 5 while we are there.
