Are we there yet???

I'm really starting think that October hours won't be posted in time for my July 4th ADR date. Guess I will pick which restaurants I want and that will be the park we have to go to, LOL. Not being able to plan ahead is killing me!


I know what you mean about the hours! To think about it last year I was newbie and I don't think i looked at the hours when I made my ressies..heck I found out that I needed ADRs by accident! and here I am now in a panic because I don't know the hours!

My ADR day is July 4th too. I am hoping the phones won't be super busy!
 
Without having Oct hours yet, and having to make my ADRs on 7/4 also, I'm glad we're going with park hoppers. That way I'll plan the morning, and go with the flow later. Of course the ADR I make will have to be worked in anyways.
I remember all the trips made with no planning, those were the days!;)
Really though, I love the planning. I just started too early this time, and get a little obsessed.:rotfl:

Me too! I think that I need to see a counselor! We do park hoppers as well. I think they are so worth the extra money. Last year we bounced where ever we wanted. Well, it was up to the kids on which park we went back too..but still had a ton of fun!

Yeah. My DD(28) and I tried to decide if we really need hoppers when staying 7-8 days, and decided with no trouble, that yes we do! Really a good idea when traveling with kids too. You never know when there will be a major meltdown.;) Sometimes it's the kids, sometimes the grown ups .:lmao:
We'll be there with a 8yr old whos getting more opinionated, and temperamental as he ages, and a 2 3/4 yr old princess that needs her naps.
Oh, and a grandpa that also benefits from a nap, on occasion!
I like to not be extreemly tied to a schedule. This is vacation, after all.:goodvibes
Besides, we are able to get a decent deal through our employer on 7 day hoppers. :thumbsup2

I have a friend that plans everything down to what time they are going to ride what ride and what time they are getting FastPasses. It drives me crazy! Our main concern is what time we are having dinner and then just take everything else in stride. Makes it more enjoyable!
 
We'll be there from the 6th to the 16th. The first 3 nights at POP and the last 7 nights at SSR. We already have our tickets for MNSSHP on our arrival day.
 
i thought I posted this but I guess not.

I'm going Oct. 4th-9th with my cousin Kara for my birthday! My birthday is on the 7th and I am so excited!! We are staying at POFQ with the DDP and have picked out or restaurants although obviously can't make our ADRs yet. I'm just so excited to actually be there on my birthday, go to a great birthday dinner and have an awesome time! We are going to MNSSHP on the 6th! I'm sure its been discussed but does anyone have an educated guess for park hours?
 
Does anyone know where I can find that ADR calculator? You put in your first day of vacation and it tells you the date you can make your ADRs....

Count me in as another one whose ADR date is July 4th! Are you girls planning on making yours online or calling? I may try both - have my computer up while I'm on hold and see what I can get done. If I just knew the EMH schedule, that would help alot. What are you all hoping to get? Here's mine (as of right now . . .;)):

Ohana'
Whispering Canyon Cafe
50s PT Cafe
ESPN Cafe (I don't think they do ADRs, though)
California Grille or Hoop De Doo Revue (haven't done either - can't decide)
Kona Cafe
Narcoossee's.

The only thing thats really bothering me about these is there's no character meals. Even though my kids are 17 and 14, that just seems wrong!:guilty:
 
I'm getting anxious about ADRs now, big time. I've changed them around on paper, and still I'm not 100%
We are arriving on Fri. 10/02, and should be checked in by about 3:30, and we thought we'd try to get an early dinner at Chef Mickey's, and then hit MK for a bit. Then I realized that it's a MNSSHP night, and it may be a bad idea, and will close early for us. Also, no telling if we can get CMickey's the first night.
It will be Me, Dh, our DD(28), her DH(28), Their DS(BDay trip(8)!)and my DGD(2 3/4). So, party of six for most meals. DDP.
So far, I've got this;
10/02 50's Prime Time D
10/03 Chef Mickey's D
10/04 DGS BDay T Rex D
10/05 Akershus B / Olivia's D (DD and DH- Big River @ BW)
10/06 'Ohanas D
10/07 Whispering Canyon Cafe D
10/08 Coral Reef D
10/09 ? Just DH and I- Le Cellier/Rose & Crown/San Angel?

I can't use the new online syst. 'cause we're using DVC points this trip, so I'll be on the phone at 4am July 4th, my time:scared1:, and then be at work at 8.
Hey, but that means I'm that much closer to October! :cool1:

Oops - just saw this post. I'm having trouble with that first night, too, tkitty. We also arrive on October 2nd. My first thought was to check in and then hit Epcot around 4-5:00 p.m. for evening EMH and do F&W for our dinner. Now I'm reading that Epcot should be avoided on the weekends during F&W because of the locals. I'm also seeing some speculation that AK evening EMH will be on Friday instead of Wednesday. That is the one evening EMH I want to do, so that would actually work out better for us. Who knows?:confused3
 
100 days and counting.
October can't come quick enough!:goodvibes

I am right there with you. It will be here soon! I can't wait!

:woohoo:

Have you thought about your schedule or ADRs at all? I know it is hard without the hours.:sad2:


I have an idea about the ADRs, we invest in the park hoppers so park times isn't as important to us since we can come and go as we please. May make it a little stressed at times, but for the most part we will take it all in stride and then work around what ADRs we are lucky enough to get
 
we are going oct 3-9th and we are hoping to get Cindy's castle and Akerhaus......my daughter desperately needs to meet the princess'es!! LOL! plus it's her birthday so we gotta get cindy's castle for that! I hope!! !
 
Hey everyone!

Sorry I've not updated the list in a while! Will do it tonight I promise!!!

Also 98 days to go!! :banana:

I am SO edgy for park hours!!

I hope you get the castle meal! My DD is 3, but she is still into Tinkerbell and the Little Einsteins. So, we'll have to wait another year before we do the castle.
