Does anyone know if there is a board for Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique cancellations? I have an appointment for my daughter but I have been trying to switch the date for a couple of weeks. Our trip is only 2 weeks away.

I am trying to switch my nov 5th appointment to the 7th. I’ve called almost everyday for weeks now. They only have 6pm times. Fingers crossed someone will cancel closer to the trip.

SO, what snacks/drinks are you most looking forward to??

I will have me a dole whip float and this time, DH and I will each get one, we will not share!
I want to get my hands in a Lapu Lapu as well.
OH, and the Grey Goose lemon slush in Epcot.
A homemade ice cream cookie sandwich at MK.

Hmmm...I guess there's not that many that I'm dying to have. I'm just looking forward to a week where I do no food prep at all!

 

[KevAmyBrownie]

Couldn't find a thread for November 2017 and I'm soooo ready to get to talking to others about Disney even if we're over a year a way!

EDIT-Needing to update the Pre Trip Report so it will be gone for a bit

We are 448 days from the start of our trip.

Official Trips Dates November 23rd-Dec 3rd. (Nov 23rd driving check in to Disney Nov 24th and check out Dec 2nd and driving on the 3rd)

We are booked at Port Orleans Riverside!

So please come on in and share with us what your plans are!!!

 

[KevAmyBrownie]

Port Orleans is fab.

 

[KevAmyBrownie]

So happy to have found this thread!!
We're going back for Thanksgiving week 2017! Not sure of the exact dates yet- but definitely Thanksgiving week. We went over Thanksgiving last year ans loved it!! We were planning on the Poly but am not sure now- considering a split stay between the WL and Grand Floridian.
We have to plan around ds's school schedule so the only time we can go is either easter or thanksgiving- Thanksgiving won out. We'll be booking as soon as I get our dates set and settle on a resort.
Looking forward to planning along with everyone here! Will check out your trip report too.

Enjoy

19 days for us (or 18 if you don't count the 2.5 hours left in the day)! I'll jump on the bandwagon of posting our schedule! Mine isn't as exact as I used to plan as nowadays I'm a bit more relaxed since we have the AP

11 - Landing around 3pm, heading to the resort, check-in, GG order, and then EPCOT for some F&W merch and a FP for Test Track
12 - Considering MK or AK this day. MK has shorter open hours d/t the Christmas party and the trackers are saying it'll be a better park to do
13 - We'll be at EPCOT for at least part of the day - it's the last day of the festival and last day of fun food!
14 - Breakfast res at Kona Cafe, will probably make this a more relaxing day since we don't have FP until late in the evening at EPCOT
15 - AK with a FP for Flight of Passage! Might hop over to EPCOT as well - I might be a little in love with it
16 - More AK, FP for Safaris, FoP, and Rivers of Light. We haven't seen it yet and I'm so excited!
17 - Our last full day = MK! We've got FP for Buzz, Peter Pan, and BTMR. Then our traditional Tony's departure dinner
18 - We managed to find some AWESOMELY priced flights so we won't leave until 6:50PM! Which means a very good amount of time to do whatever we want!

I'm so excited to get there. We live near our airport so every time I see a plane I get very jealous! We were thinking we wouldn't be able to go again this year (we went for my birthday in May), but we managed to find a new reservation!

We will be there from Nov 6 to Nov 9. Doing Epcot on Monday, Animal Kingdom on Tuesday, Magic Kingdom on Wed and HS on Thursday. Me, DH, my 10 year old twin boys and my mother. My mother has not been since 1990. Our last trip was probably 5 years ago.

Staying off property at Drury Orlando. We really love that hotel. Driving in from Tennessee and driving to parks every day. Will shoot for rope drop at all parks.

Probably going to use the DAS for the first time. Every other visit we went during a slow time and there was really no need to get one for my son that has autism. Everything was 30 mins or less. Not going to be the case probably this trip so I think we need it this time.

 

[turtlechick6]

I'm such a geek. Magicbands shipped yesterday and I've been stalking the tracking page. It says they are scheduled to be delivered next Tuesday!
I ordered a set of packing cubes this week to try out and see if I think they'll help. I've heard good things about them but never used them myself.
My ears I ordered came last week and the custom shirts I ordered should come next week. (I went a bit Etsy crazy) Looks like I've got most stuff done, just trying to make sure as I'm sure something will creep up on me!

I love my packing cubes. I have converted my mom and my BFF into loving them too. I have two sets.

 

[EmmabaRose]

So my first day of securing FPs and I think I did alright.

Day 1 is an AK day and I managed to get NRJ, EE and Safari! I am gonna keep checking for FOP but I think at this point I stand more chance of sprouting wings and flying myself than getting one of those. XD So RD it is!
