Ugh...time to rethink. We were planning on driving down the 21st and were hoping for a party that night or Sunday night. Since the last party is the 20th, we'd have to take off on Friday and fly down instead - an added expense. We'd also have to add the cost of transportation to Port Canaveral and back for our cruise leaving the 26th, since we wouldn't have our own vehicle down there because of having to fly.

Does anyone know what time to log on for a discount? Is it 6am Florida time?

Now to decide which dates. I could do MVMCP on 12/10 and JN on 12/11 but 2 nights together may be a bit much. Also, 12/11 is DH's b'day and he doesn't have much interest in these parties. I would hate to drag him on his b'day. I could do it solo but I'd like to make other plans for that night for something he'd be interested in. So many decisions but sometimes that can be a good thing. I did want to avoid a Saturday night but I may have to settle for 12/14 since we're only there a week.

I assume/hope the answer is no, but is Genie+ available during the holiday parties?

From what I've read, it is not.

 

[japanese maple]

So I'm sure everyone has read about the Genie + changes, can anyone help me with this questions? The main thread moves too fast!

We arrive on 12/3, but rest of party arrives on 12/4. So I will wait to book the 7 days from their 12/4 arrival.
How do I figure out the 7 days? If I count 7 days, it's starts on 11/28 (Thanksgiving) to 12/4. Is that how you count? Or would it be on 11/27?

Math and me aren't friends.

I think the 27th but also if that’s wrong, you’re wrong a day early and not a day late and you can just go back in the next day to do it lol
