hey there....just loved reading your pre-trip report. Was wondering if you upgraded to the deluxe dining plan or did you get that free. We have free dining too but its just regular one- we are going to upgrade when we have the money to do it prior to our trip. Unless there's an offer for the deluxe...was that offered to you? Im jus curious is all, thanks

It wasn't free, she just paid the difference

Yup! I paid the difference but I think totally worth every penny! Especially since we are doing HDDR, CRT and CLP package now.... I think its already paid for itself! or just about

This is exactly what we are planning to do as well. We have alot to pay for in advance with the airfares, balance of trip, CLP- (paying for this extra*) as well as for the MVMCP, and of course the balance of the trip- which for us is due 10/1/12- once we pay that then we can pay the upgrade for the deluxe dining followed by rest of stuff.

I have finally decided on CAT 2 seating for HDDR... so I canceled the other ressie.... Im getting excited! I tentatively booked the Pirates League for Monday the 26th. I figured itll be another fun thing to do with the girls. We are planning alot of firsts for this trip. We did alot last trip and now we are trying new stuff. We have almost all new places to eat OR new meals (breakfast instead of dinner)

Just something to think about, we did Pirates League a couple years ago with DSs and you should think ahead about makeup removal. We stayed late at the park after and I knew that at least my younger one would fall asleep on the way back to the resort, so we decided to hit a bathroom before we left to take it off. They had given us wipes that you were supposed to get wet and would take it off-no where near! That makeup is thick and hard to get off. I would recommend taking something with you to wipe it with (I don't wear much makeup, so not even sure what the best thing would be) but I do say be prepared.
That being said, Pirates League was awesome and the kids loved it and we got some great pics, but man is it a bear to take off (just wish someone had told me, so passing it along)
Also, if they do the jack face with the extra eyeballs on cheeks, the eyeballs are actually tattoos and they were even tougher than the make up (again there is probably something to make it easier, just need to plan ahead)

Thanks!!! I actually read somewhere (not sure where now) that foaming facial cleaner/makeup remover will take it off. My DD is getting the emperess and the other 2 DD's are getting the mermaid. Right now we arent 100% keeping it. I thought I should book it just it case. We are doing BBB too. I just thought this would be fun too as not everything *has to be about princesses

 

[cyndiloveswalt]

Having two boys I was so excited when they opened the Pirates League! I really didn't think my older would want to do it, but when I asked he was excited. It is a fun experience. We did it very soon after it opened and I don't think they even offered girl specific things.

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I dont know what they are Can you tell me more about them or where to find the info?

Oh wow...we are about to fill up your Epcot day....

Each country has a storyteller for their 'Christmas' I think they last about 10 - 15 mins each.

Canada has Papa Noel
UK has Father Christmas
France has Pere Noel
etc
the non-Christian countries have Muslim & Buddha stuff, like China has the Monkey King.

American has Kwanza & Hanukkah

You can youtube each one and watch them to see which ones you like.

Thanks! Yes that will fill up my day! It sounds neat!

 

[vleeth]

My problem is there are a bunch I want to see and the schedule probably won't be out until the week before...which makes touring planning hard to do!

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I have talked the family out of the Candlelight Processional this year due to the fact that 2 of my kids are still young and not sure if they can sit quietly for an hour or so I dont want to disturb anyone. Its okay though, I am changing some things around and am now eating at Le Cellier The fam was bummed that I couldnt fit Chef Mickeys in so I am booting the F! package at MM so we can do Sci-Fi and 50's and putting Chef Mickey in 50's spot I know its confusing. Now all I have to decide is Coral Reef for dinner or lunch. Le Cellier for dinner or lunch.

I just can't keep up with you.
If you eat lunch at LeCellier it is only one table service credit verses two for supper.
