NOOOOOOOO!!! she can't NOT be there!! LOL
I made my reservations!!! i requested both Ken and Gina Marie! for November 16 9:10am!

So sorry - but I'll let her know. She'll be happy to hear she's wanted!

I'm curious how you were able to request someone on the phone (not that you'd know), as we only take requests day of. Meaning, someone took your "request" and it went no where. I get easily frustrated when the CMs on the phone make false promises... sorry you got the end of one!

My other pet peeve is when someone asks a Guest which package they want beforehand on the phone - that info is erased and go no where as well. ARRGH

Since there is a Pirate watching this thread, I thought I'd ask when the best time to book a reservation is. We're heading to MK the Tues following Labor Day, and the booking person I spoke to on the phone said that I'd just need to call to make a reservation the morning I wanted to go in. However, I've noticed a few people talking about it being booked up days/weeks/months in advance. Also, what number should I call? Thanks!!

Oh my... was your booking person a Disney CM? I hope not. Yes... make your appointment now! We are always full, typically fill up a day or two in advance, but with the recent movie we fill up weeks in advance.

Thanks for the heads up! You are FANTASTIC!!! I can see how people would be frustrated if they missed a lot of the party. Extending just an hour would accomodate me...assuming I could get that appt! Either way, I will make it work. I know my so will LOVE this!!!

I am in the same position with a 330 appt for DGrD on MNSSHP night. I'm not worried about using a park ticket as we need to use one for our AK Sunrise Safari that morning - I was just hoping for an extra hour or two so I could get a longer nap between the two events. Thanks for keeping us informed.

I thought that was a odd question when I made my reservation. I have girls so the cm assumed I wanted the empress package. I just said sure but I know my youngest will choose something diffrent. I didn't question her beacuse I figured it probably didn't matter?



Thanks

I called yesterday and asked if i could make a request of two artists and she said yes she would put it on the reservation notes! this makes me a bit scared now! never asked about the packages... Didn't want to request one either.. my kids will change their minds 50 times by November...
This is really upsetting!

Problem?!? i know i know i'm sorry.. if the park opens at 9 and i have a 910 appointment trying to get the children over there in 10 minutes.. umm lets just say i will try my hardest. but will that become a problem if i am a couple of minutes late? isn't it a mad house in the first am trying to get in?

Ahhh, we use reservation notes to mark birthdays and we look at them day of, so they will not impact scheduling. Request your pirates when you check in. I know Ken's schedule - what day of the week is your appointment?

No problem - we run into that everyday with everyone! Keep in mind MK will let you into the park at about 8:50 and the rope will drop at 9:00 at the entrance of Adventureland.

However I cannot get the black off DS's eyes. oy. I don't have any shaving cream here at WDW. must find some I guess!

 

[jacksmom]

DD (5) Princess! Just wondering if she would like this?? We are doing BBB, but this looks like such fun! Wondering if we should try this also!

 

[OThopeful35]

Just booked PL for DS He is so excited and I am excited because I found his pirate costume from 2 years ago. He can still fit it!

Any recent news on whether the Mermaid Package will be returning? We have an appointment for end of September and I'm hoping it comes back. If not we'll be cancelling.

 

[Berlioz70]

Sorry - not likely to be announced until MNSSHP start. To be honest, I don't think anyone knows yet.

We did the Empress and mermaid. Empress was a little over $100 with costume and photo.

[Disneybound!!]

Hoping to have my boys do PL when we go in September. They are 8 and 5 and I think they're going to love it! I'm hoping to get an appointment on the night of our MNSSHP. I spoke with a wonderful CM that was so helpful and friendly! No extended hours for the party have been announced yet. I hope something opens up for my date! Ive really enjoyed this thread, and I appreciate everyone's tips and pics! Berlioz, you are so kind to be so helpful and give first hand info!
