I see your ADR is for 12:45.............the problem is from Oct 1 to Oct 14 the only possible lunchtime ADR time to book is 12:45 :scared1: Something is wrong I plan on calling for Via Napoli on Friday if the online system is still showing the same time. If I were you I think I would call rather than chance it.

Although the existing problem with Biergarten showing NO Times at all from Oct 1 on, is the same when people have been calling the dining # and the CM's have no clue as to why?

Gonna be an awful long line outside Via Napoli for all those 12:45 ADRs :laughing:

:eek:I will call them now and see about getting a sooner ressie, thanks.:flower3:
 
ADRs secured! as well as Pirate League and Pirates and Pals cruise. However, the cruise was not on the night I had anticipated. So had to change up plans slightly.

here's what we ended up with- i had zero problem getting the times I wanted except for Mama Melrose (wanted right before they close at 7, they only had 5:25). We might just skip dinner at DHS that night period and head to DTD that night instead and have Earle. The night we had planned to do DTD/Earle is now our Pirates n Pals cruise night. We do take a 2 hour break usually in the room about 2pm each day.

I just finished making all my ADR's for our trip. I didn't have any trouble getting the restaurants and times I wanted.

The only thing I don't have yet is the Fantasmic! Dining Package. It isn't available to book online right now so I have to call right at 7:00am to see if I can get it! Fingers crossed! :goodvibes

I wil post the full list with times later on. I have to run and start getting ready for work! :)

Lots of reservations today. I guess that's what happens with the DxDP. Hoping to meet some awesome disboard peeps that may be dining at the same time.

10/19 50's Prime Time Cafe 5:45 PM

10/20 Teppan Edo 12 PM (really want Biergarten and will keep checking to see if the current situation is just a glitch, kind of afraid Biergarten will be closed for refurbishing or something though which will suck since it's F&W)
10/20 Jiko - The Cooking Place 7:45 PM

10/21 Kona Cafe 7:30 AM
10/21 The Crystal Palace 4:30 PM
10/21 Boma-Flavors of Africa 9:10 PM (will cancel this one if we decide to do another MNSSHP)

The only problems I had other than Biergarten was a couple of times I got a warning that our party may be seated at different tables. I didn't get the message if I chose a time that was off by 15-20 minutes so a few are a little off from where I really wanted them.

If you want to know about BBB or other exciting items you'll need to read my PTR. :lmao:

Your ADRs look GREAT!!! We are doing the DxDP too but my list will be longer since we are only doing 1 2 credit meal, we will be trying as many new places as we can. I don't do my ADRs until Friday and I am trying to decide on where we might want to eat if I can not book Biergarten. I am sad :sad1: over it since Biergarten is one of our places we wanted so badly to go back to again. I will be checking daily like you to see if they open it up at a later date.
 
So exciting to see some many making ADR's.

DH finally looked over the restaurants I thought would be a good fit for us (he's an extremely picky eater) and he's agreed to most of them!! He fought me on upgrading to the DxDP a month ago and NOW he sees why I did it, because he's sooo darn picky! lol I need to rearrange the schedules now to fit everything in, but I can't make ADR's until Saturday morning so I have a few more days. Plus we're driving to NH this weekend (10 hours) so that should give me plenty of time to sort things out as well. lol :cloud9:
 
A couple of questions:cutie:
1. I was looking at menus last night and my friends love bar-b-que. Is the Whispering Canyon all you can eat skillet good for my Texas gals?

2. You all keep mentioning Biergarten.. I saw they have an all you can eat for lunch.. is it very yummy?

3. Debating whether to eat at DTD Earl of Sandwich when we arrive.. our flight arrives MCO 12:17 p.m.We have 7 day park hoppers so maybe eat close by to MK or at MK but not sure where. I don't want to stay for Wishes since I am hoping to get a reservation later in the week for the dessert party. Epcot I want to avoid since we want to do the Illuminations cruise that week also. What do you all suggest?

4. What's the earliest we could go to Ohanas for dinner?

Thanks...:surfweb:

1) We really enjoy Whispering Canyon - although not so much for the food, but for the FUN! We have always ordered the AYCE Skillet for dinner and enjoyed it - but not sure if it would be different for lunch? It's served family-style, so you dont have to make trips to a buffet.

2) LOVE Biergarten - again, not just for the food, but for the Entertainment.
It's a buffet with LOTS of options to choose from. YUM!

3) The Plaza at MK is one option for your arrival day. (at least, thats what we're doing!:))

4) I think O'Hana dinner starts at 5pm.

Good Luck deciding!:flower3:
 
We are going in Oct! Staying Oct 14-20 @ Kidani AKV and then moving to BWV Oct 20-22. I'm so excited that we got a savannah view studio at AKV.

OK, so I wanted to let you all know this since I was talking about it last week. I went onto the Disney.com site this weekend and my AAA reservation was there without my entering my confirmation #! :rotfl2: I was going back and forth with my AAA agent about it and she said she called Disney and they told her sometimes there are kinks with travel agent reservations (like there aren't with Disney.com otherwise, right? :lmao:) and it might not show up. Ok, so I'll check one more time - log in and get ready to enter my conf# and there's Donald counting down the days until my trip! HA!!! :laughing:

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know since I had asked about it last week. Now I'll just stare at that in addition to the DIS until my ADRs on the 26th. Yay! :yay:

I'm so glad that finally came up for you. Donald doesn't update automatically for me. I usually have to click on something else to update the page before he'll change his number every day. Those online reservations are really nice though. Keep you reservation number handy. I had to enter it again when trying to make ADRs for the +10 dates.
 
Woo Hoo - Our ADR's are set. Was able to get everything I wanted and only had to swap two meal days to get the right times :)

Arriving Wednesday 10/12 to the Poly about 6pm - playing it by ear for eats.

Crystal Palace 8:10 am

We've got hoppers for all 10 days and since it's just us two adults :hug: we're planning on many more daring dining adventures!
 
I imagine it will be hard to find a single person. Are people that you book with usually flexible to kick in a few dollars more per person to make up for a 10th person that it might be impossible to find? QUOTE]

I agree that it will probably be extremely unlikely to find one more person. Luckily, it isn't much of a differnce we are only 9 people. :)

10 people= $40.00
9 people= $44.00

We are back to having 2 spots available for Illuminations cruise 10/26. Please PM if interested:flower3:
 
Hi a few questions,

1) When do MNSSHP tickets go on sale? can you get them online or will I have to call? Do you suggest buying them now or is it safe to buy closer to the date (planning for 10/25)?

2) Fantasmic!, what is the latest dinning reservation you can usually get for this? Planning to do Mama melrose and am hoping for 5:00. Think that is possible?

3) forgive me if this one is really dumb..... how much time to get from front gate at MK to Monorail and how long on the monorail 1900 park? I'd like to make a 7:00 pm reservation for 1900 Park on a night that MK will close at 7 for MNSSHP. My plan is to spend the day in DHS and head over to MK around 4:30. I'm hoping to maybe have an hour or two in MK in anticipation of the crowds being lower for MNSSHP and head over to 1900 Park at the last minute to make our reservation. Will they allow me into the park at 4:30 without a MNSSHP ticket, what if for some reason we arrived later? Will we have a problem.

TIA!! O FYI, joining touring plans tonight when I get home since I've heard such great info on here about it!!
