We're doing HP too, but are having breakfast on the DP, same with dinner. Depends how we feel we'll either pay OOP for lunch or leave Universal for the day. We're getting two day passes for Universal, so we're figuring we'll spend one whole day there and then at least a half another time during the week

I was thinking of eating breakfast at Disney, but I wanted to get to HP World by 8:15 a.m. We're def. doing dinner at Disney though.

Good Morning Fellow October Travelers

Just wanted to share something I came across this am on the DIS boards that I found of interest since I had never heard about it before. I wish I had children traveling with me so we could do this it sounds like a lot of fun.

The Hiding of paint brushes on TSI in MK ....the reward fast passes for the entire family for BTMR or Splash Mt.

OK I can make my ADR's on Saturday and it will be my first time doing so, can you all give me any feedback on what I have so far please? We have the DxDP and I still have three more days to plan. TIA Also since we're getting the DxDP does that mean I have 3 TS meals for my arrival day and leaving day the 29th? (6 meals total?) I guess I'm asking how many TS meals will I have in all if I'm there from the 20th-29th. I want to make sure we use them all and doesn't lose any.

If you are arriving on the 20th and departing on the 29th staying 9 nights you will have 27 TS meal credits 18 snack credits for your length of stay , the DP is based on the number of nights you stay.

Thank you!!! The CM on the phone was confusing the heck out of me with it. I asked if it was based on days or nights and he said yes to both. :confused: I still have a 2 credit dinner to add on so that should help use the credits.

Bah! :headache: I was thinking they were based on days. Now I'll have to pay for the last day OOP or not do Ohana breakfast that last day. Grrr. :mad: I KNEW that too! I don't know what I was thinking. :confused3

That's on our To-Do list even though it's just DH and me this trip. We're staying for 10 days and we've got a list of all the things we've never done as we've been dragging our DD's 9/12 everywhere they want. There is SO much more to the Disney parks than just the rides, parades and shows. It's those extra pieces of magic that Disney puts in the park that keep up coming back! I don't know that we'll actually turn in the paint brushes but we're def. going to be on the hunt for them :) And taking pictures.
 
The list is up to date as of now. :welcome: to all the newbies to the thread. Please check to make sure your info is correct.

My info is correct under the Main October listing but the resort info dates are wrong-

Beach Club & Villas

dvc at last ! - September 30 - October 4
Agent4699 - October 1 - 6
LexiC123 - October 23 - 29
sjs314 - October 26 - November 1

Should be October 19 - October 25


TIA
 
I have been pulling my hair out today over my ADR list for Friday morning. I had it all set and was very happy with it but now with the problems with Via Napoli and Biergarten I asked DH where he might want to eat instead he picked ESPN and Big River Grille over at the BW,neither of which I can book online, although Big River does take reservations by phone just not sure how far in advance, I read one thread and they said just call 30-45 mins before hand :eek: (we are staying at BC) and lastly he like Cap't Grille at the YC any of the three will work but I am really gonna miss Biergarten :sad2:

I have decided to leave our lunch day open maybe or do an ADR for Cap't Grille and switch the Via Napoli lunch in place of Biergarten Dinner. ugh I can not wait till ADR day comes and I have it all booked :headache:

Sorry, changed it. :)
 
Parla- your ADRs look great. WE are just missing each other at a few meals- i have Tusker house at 8:05 am (same time) but the day before you! lol

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? Texas gal checking in here- and I enjoyed WCC. The skillet was pretty good in my opinion, but I'm not some huge barbecue aficionado. ;)

2. You all keep mentioning Biergarten.. I saw they have an all you can eat for lunch.. is it very yummy?on my to try list, so can't answer this one.

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?we do this almost every trip. last trip, we arrived 10:30am, grabbed bags, car and went to DTD/Earle first thing. Great way to start off the trip, relaxing with a sandwich on the patio people-watching!

4. What's the earliest we could go to Ohanas for dinner?I believe I've been able to make ADRs for as early as 4:45pm, however, they refused to actually seat us until 5pm. So this time, i made them for right at 5pm, then we are doing MNSSHP after.

Thanks...:surfweb:

sassy- your ADRs look great too! we are there at the same time, but unfortunately no meals the same day it appears.


Topstrup- looks great- glad you got everything you wanted!

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)? Usually about May 1st they go on sale. I hear you can buy them close to the date for MNSSHP, they don't seem to sell out like they do with the Christmas party, except for maybe Halloween?

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? good question- sorry can't answer this one.

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. Now, keep in mind, they let folks in for the party at 4pm, so it won't be any less crowded due to the party, there will still be a lot of the folks doing the party who arrive early (and don't buy a park ticket that day). From front gate of MK, the monorail is just right there, like a few minutes. You will want the resort monorail loop, not the Express. you will have to wait for a monorail and ride it all the way around the loop- stopping at CR, TTC and the Poly before it reaches GF. so think 2 minute to walk to the monorail after exiting MK, then wait say 5 minutes for one to come, then ride the loop almost entirely around, could be what- 10 minutes or more? I would just plan on 30 minutes to be completely safe. The monorail does have stops from time to time on the resort loop waiting for clearance and stuff, so better safe than sorry. What about making your GF 1900 park fare ressie for like 7;30? Leave MK right before 7? The other option is to take a boat from the MK dock to GF, more direct route that way and probably will take same amount of time?

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

Question about Crystal Palace, is it realistic to have a 8:05am ressie AND be done by rope drop? :confused3
Yes! now, that means no hanging out and taking it slow with your food. But they are pretty efficient in there, just ask for the bill up front too.

Pixiedust- congrats on the ADRS!!!:thumbsup2

wow!!!! With that updated list... anyone else notice how heavy the later days in the month are...and the first part of the month, not so much?? Wonder if that is any indicator of the crowds for Oct this year?? I know this is jsut the DIS...but it seems like not as many ADRs in the beginning, and TONS near the middle towards the end of the month!!!
i would not say that is necessarily the case. In fact, i expect the first week of October to be much busier than the rest of the month, due to the race, 40th anniv weekend, and opening weekend of F&W. I think maybe more people in the later weeks are doing the DLX plan, which means they are eating more sit down meals, hence more ADRS. in fact, it seems a lot of the people booking for this week seem to be on the DLX plan- so some of them are eating 2-3 TS per day, so it appears like more people, but just really more ressies for the same number of people. It seems all the crowd calendars for my week (Oct 15-22) are all 1-2s except for a few of the Saturdays- so i am hoping for light crowds, but will be prepared for whatever!:wizard::laughing:
 
No ADR's we are going bare bones on dining, just QSDP, but I did Order my tickets and sign the kids up for Disney's Youth Education Series :cool1: Now im waiting for MNSSHP tickets to go on sale. :banana:
 
Ok.. more questions for you all:)

At Hollywood Studios do you prefer Sci Fi, 50's Prime, or Mama Melrose?

Now, we have AK on 10/24 for early EMH @ 8am.. will probably try and eat something at the resort. Then head off to park.
Lunch: Yak and Yeti?
snack: jalapeno pretzel
dinner:???? We want to do the Wishes Dessert party that night. Would it be best to do a quick CS so we are not to full for the yummy desserts?


Sorry, I ask so many questions. I have no one else to give me feedback:sad2:
