OFFICIAL NOVEMBER 2017 THREAD

3 sleeps until ADR day!!! Looking for a bunch of hard to get ones so fingers crossed!!!!

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

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.

I honestly can't remember having the ADR countdown and I have an AP and go multiple time a year. But it definitely wasn't there for my trip a few weeks ago...

This is our first time doing RO and not a package, so I am starting to think it is only if you have a package booked through WDW you get this option? If you have AP's you wouldn't have booked a MYW package probably so maybe that's why? If everyone who hasn't had the ADR countdown in MDE is not having problems booking ADR's then I guess I don't need to worry about it affecting my 10+ days opening up.

Good Luck!

Thanks! The only one that really matters is Chef Mickeys for my kids' birthday! Otherwise we will just deal!

I don't have an ADR countdown, but I have a countdown to my trip. My MDE shows this. And I do have a ticketless package as I have the dining plan with my reservation. (My BFF who I'm traveling with prefers it.)

I made my ADRs this morning. It was probably one of the easiest ADR experiences I've had in ages. Plenty of times available for everything we wanted.

1st - no ADR, MNSSHP
2nd - Chefs de France
3rd - Tiffins
4th - Trattoria al Forno
5th - Cali Grill Brunch
6th - Be Our Guest
7th - Bon Voyage Breakfast

That countdown I still have thankfully. Do you see below where it says "Make Dining Reservations" beside "Enjoy FastPass+". Above that I have always had a countdown that something like "5 days until you can book ADR's". This is the first time I have done a ticketless package so I am thinking maybe that's why. The only reason I remember it so well is because my kids made me check the countdown to ADR's a couple times a month last year, lol. Oh well, I guess I will just make a countdown on a calendar at home for them! Congratulations on getting all the ADR'S you wanted!

We will be at WDW for my youngest birthday on November 10! He will be turning 5 and I am not sure where he wants to eat on his birthday yet. I have to book ADR's in 9 days so I will have to get him to decide soon.

Yay for getting the Bon Voyage breakfast! I just read a review on the Cali brunch and it looked sooooooo good. I wish my dh and kids weren't such picky eaters.

 

[SaintsManiac]

16 days to ADRS I'll be in Detroit for a wedding, so I am hauling my laptop there and having to get up EARLY after a night wedding. AHHHHHHH

 

[littlebittyhouse]

Hey, we're going to be there almost exactly the same time!
My mom was teasing me about already making plans for dining. I'm glad I'm not crazy for doing it

Not crazy! I like to know my ADRs about a week before I can book them ha ha ha plus...planning is fun!

 

[littlebittyhouse]

Would love some advice! Kids are 2.5 and 5.5, I am thinking of booking the Bon Voyage Breakfast on our departure day. Staying at POP, flight will be at about 3pm...which means DME will leave at about noon time, right?

Do you think we're good with like an 8:30am reservation or will I be cutting it close?

That's funny because we have literally never had a package with tickets! LOL! We either do military tickets or AP's. So we've probably never had it! LOL!

My inner 7 year old is so excited about the Bon Voyage breakfast! Becasue when I grow up I want to be Ariel! I wasn't going to do two signatures, and the brunch is expensive, but we're running the half marathon that morning and it seems like the perfect way to celebrate!

Ugh, but ADR's trump sleep! Maybe you can go back to sleep afterwards?

Hmmm...it's kind of a paint to get to so I would plan on ubering or taking a cab at least on the way there. And if your'e pressed for time you can take one on the way back to ME.

Great choices and you got both the Bon Voyage Breakfast and BOG
DD and I did the CG Brunch in March it was so good!

 

[KNovacovschi]

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.

Thanks, my birthday is on the 17th, when is your son's? My daughters birthday is also on the 6th and she will be 20 but unable to come with me.

 

[KNovacovschi]

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.

I always book packages, I just probably overlooked it since I have my countdown on my phone.

My ADR day is the last day of May... I'm off that entire week... EXCEPT THAT DAY I'll use that pixie dust and pray the site isn't broken that morning!

I am so excited about our ADRs! I couldn't believe how much availability there was for both BOG and Bon Voyage. It was probably to our advantage we were booking them at the end of the trip, but there were plenty of times to choose from. Glad to here the CG brunch was great! It has long been one of my favorite places to eat so I am excited to try brunch there.
