The Holiday D'Lights Tour has not yet opened for bookings. Since this is tied to Candlelight Processional they probably won't open the booking until they release the Candlelight schedule.

Happy Monday folks!

I am prepping or DATW, sort of.
Last night we rode bikes downtown to Buen Appetito where I had a blueberry margarita

Good job riding back after your drink

Help!
Cali Grill ressies for 5:45 or 7:30? It's for Chris' birthday dinner, and our last night before we leave the next day for the LONG drive home.

If you choose the 5:45 rez, it won't be too late for your kids. And if you want to see Wishes later, you can just bring your dinner receipt and they will let you head up to the observation deck to watch it.

I finished making all our ADR's on the weekend - 3 new places for us: Boma, Fultons and Brown Derby Now I need to book us some rooms

cheers,

I would do 5:45 personally so that you can take your time. As you said you have to be up and on the road the next morning for that long drive so if you do the late dinner you may be less apt to linger.

 

[DVCsince02]

Thanks everyone. I chose the earlier time.

 

[mainegal]

Almost 1:00 and I am finally checking in to say good morning. Good aftrnoon. Whatever...

Been crazy hectic at the library this morning. I am hot, but not as hot as it is in Louisville!

Just thought I would share this thread if anyone is interested in celebrating anything with a cake before or after the cruise.

I see you've already gone for the earlier time but that is what I would have said Gives you plenty of time to enjoy your meal and then all the packing - have a lovely time We're going to try and book it for one night, can't wait to have a romantic dinner and we'll be at BLT so we can just walk back

Love this thread It's very tempting but hard to choose which one to go for

Ack! I think my Jet Blue airfares went up.
The flight that would get me in on Saturday at noon is $146 more than the one that gets me in at 7:30 in the evening. Not sure at half day at Magic Kingdom is worth $146.

Coming home Sunday after the cruise, I can leave at 6:00 AM to get home at 11:00. Or pay $54 more to leave at 12:45.

Can I get Magical Express for a 6:00 AM flight?

What would you do?

Not sure on ME since I have never used it - but your bus would leave at 3 AM to go to the airport.

I believe you can use ME at that time. I also believe in leaving late in the day though - I always take the last flight out when I leave WDW.

Oh no that sucks - can you wait and see if they come down again in price? I think on the way to WDW the later one is a better option but I'd be prepared to spend the extra to take a later flight home and not get up at crazy o'clock

We would maybe be just settling in from a long night at Boma and whatever happens after?

I would normally take the last the last flight out, too. On Sunday, that would be leaving MCO at 6:42 PM, getting to Portland at 11:40, home 1:00 in the morning. Too late for going to work the next day (I have already been gone for two weeks!) and that flight costs $150 more.

Or, I go home late Saturday night. Same times. And it costs way less than Sunday night. This gives me the lowest price of the weekend. The only downside - I would miss dinner at Boma.

Maybe I need to schedule me a Tusker House some other time on my trip.

I'd spend the $54 just so I could leave at a more leisurely pace.

Morning all, another day closer to 2.0

I've been trying to make an ADR this morning and it keeps telling me I've entered an invalid date! When I change the date it says there is an error. I'm guessing the site is not operational at the moment - I wish it would just say that!

 

[Becx N Gav]

Mmmmm, Karamelle-Kuche set to open in Germany (Epcot)

SOunds like the perfect treat for part way around DATW

Good Morning PCC friends: I got a tidbit of information during the World of Color events at Disneyland last weekend. Jodi Benson will be the reader at the Candelight Processional before the cruise. I wasn't sure if we could make this public, but then I saw that she mentioned it in an article with the Orlando Sentinel so it seemed fair game to share it.

 

[tlcoke]

Good Morning Friends!!! Happy Tuesday!!

Today Southwest Airlines is going to be overwhelmed by the DIS as we all book our Travel to Orlando for PCC 2.0.

It's going to be another hot day here with Temps in the 90's and a Heat Index well into the 100's
