Yes touring plans and unofficial guide is the same...I have a subscription to the site and the book. I am asking about Tour Guide Mike- I have never used that...sorry...
I don't know who this man is, or where he's been the past 10 years, but we got a pin code a couple weeks ago that allows us to get free dining on an off week. He took the code and booked us into AKL (where he swore he'd never stay, because it's too far away from everything) in a club level room, and upgraded dining to the deluxe plan!
Then, he spent 3 hours at the computer yesterday morning, got us MVMCP for our anniversary on the 11th, and booked all of our ADR's.
I honestly don't know who this man is...he who hates Epcot has agreed to tour the world showcase to "sample drinks" after our dinner at the Brown Derby. There's not much I need to mess with here!I feel like we've been sprinkled with Pixie Dust!
: You'll have to tell us all what you put in his beer so we all can get some!
vllygrrl, fabulous! Sounds as if you have trained him up right and are reaping the rewards.
I know you will all have a great time and then he will want to go back again and who knows what he will come up with next, Illuminations Cruise or maybe a real Disney Cruise to go with your land trip? One can only guess where this obsession will lead.![]()

Do you know what website is TourGuideMike? Is he free? I'd like to compare too.
did I mention I'm leaving in less than a week... arriving the 11th!! OMG.. I can do online check-in.... never tried that...![]()

http://www.tourguidemike.com
Membership is $21.95, but I've found the info there well worth it. I'll never forget the family trip we did a couple years ago, when 16 of us entered the MK, and had ridden everything in the park by 1pm![]()

I wish I were going in a week! We've never done online check-in you will have to report back and let us know how it goes!QOTD: What are your plans thus far for your Nov trip?


My mom who is going with us in November asked me, if you can you a Disney Gift card for the CS restaurants. I told her that I thought so, but I wasn't sure.We have the BDP, which we use for breakfast and dinner.
If we can save $$ now for any lunches, it would be better on our KTTW card. Any thoughts??
BYW, my countdown ticker says 3 months![]()
Hi all - late joiner here! DH just turned our 10th anniversary cruise into a 10th anniversary Disney trip deluxe! I don't know who this man is, or where he's been the past 10 years, but we got a pin code a couple weeks ago that allows us to get free dining on an off week. He took the code and booked us into AKL (where he swore he'd never stay, because it's too far away from everything
) in a club level room, and upgraded dining to the deluxe plan!
Then, he spent 3 hours at the computer yesterday morning, got us MVMCP for our anniversary on the 11th, and booked all of our ADR's...here's what he came up with:
11/7 - Brown Derby
11/8 - Ohana breakfast, Flying Fish dinner
11/9 - Boma breakfast, Yachtsman steakhouse dinner
11/10 - Yak & Yeti early lunch, Artist Point dinner

11/12 - Marrakesh lunch, California Grill late dinner
11/13 - Tusker House lunch, Jiko dinner

Welcome to our group! Sounds like a fabulous anniversary trip!! 






We have 105 days until we arrive at WDW!!
Our trip dates are November 16 - 25 at the Caribbean Beach Resort!
Can't wait!!![]()


ok.. UG is Unofficial Guide... what is TGM (Tour Guide Mike?) and Isn't Touring Plans the same things as UG?
We have a Fantasmic Dinner package for Mama Melrose on Tuesday the 23rd, then after the show, we drive to Florida Tech and pick up my son from school and bring him back to the resort. We last did Fantasmic with the buffet dinner at Hollywood & Vine. My youngest DD ate a rice krispie treat and a piece of bread! Never again will I pay $17.99 for her til she actually will eat! whenever that will beNo Fantasmic for us (at least planned) on our trip next week.... but they've added some 10:30pm Fantasmics a couple days, so maybe.... if its not too crowded... and I am not too tired
I am RIGHT there beside you NOT riding on half the rides!I do not like heights or drops. I will not EVER try Rock N Rollercoaster, ToT, Expedition Everest.... This is how I did Soarin' .. I first feel more secure with the child strap on between my legs. Then I keep telling myself that its not real.. and if I close my eyes, it goes away..
It took me months to get ready to ride Splash Mountain... I went on Youtube and watched videos of the ride over and over so I could anticipate when the big drop is. Then I found that my biggest problem is seeing the log come out of the cave and point slightly up over the top edge... so when I got there, I closed my eyes. That worked ok.. and I did it!
I have studied space mountain from the inside when it is closed...(going through on the WEDway Peoplemover)but haven't tried it yet... afterall the parks only been open for 39 years!
Test Track by the way, has no height or drops. It goes through all these "testing" trials, like heat, bumps etc.. then at the end of the ride it goes outside on a track and starts to speed up and go faster and faster (there is a speed thing telling you how fast it goes)... when it gets to 60mph it slows down quickly. The only thing that makes it seem faster than it is is that its open. Not closed like a real car (unless you have a convertible). It was fun, but I have very curly hair so for me, next time, I am SO bringing a scarf! I don't want to end up looking like Rosanne Rosannadanna!

I feel the same way about RNRC and EE, last year I was still a smoker so I just wandered off to find the DSA while the others rode the rides not sure what I will do this time maybe find something to eat???
I had my eyes closed the whole time on Soarin' I think I peeked once or twice but that was it
I have stood and watched Test Track while I waited for the others and I am just not brave enough to venture on it

RNRC, Soarin, TT, EE, Space Mtn - all my favorites!!
I can take or leave TOT, it's okay.
DS talked him into trying RNRC once, and he hasn't been back on it since. 
So no tea cups for me! OMG I can't believe you guys are missing all those awesome rides!!!RNRC, Soarin, TT, EE, Space Mtn - all my favorites!!

DH is not a big thrill ride guy, but I did talk him into trying TT and Soarin, and he loved them!DS talked him into trying RNRC once, and he hasn't been back on it since.
Funny, I can do high and fast and drops, but I can't do spiny.So no tea cups for me!


I rode Soarin' in 2005 and never againMy fear of heights got the better of me on that one.
If there were more people like me the lines at WDW would be a whole lot shorter![]()

Px4 we are going basically the same days...and our Thanksgiving Day looks almost just like yours...just different breakfast ADR
Too funny cause I love the tea cups but have not been on them since my youngest was 11 or 12 I feel silly going on them without a kid
Hey, better yet - you can take my kids on since I won't go on with them!! 
My DS tricked me to get onto Space Mt telling me it was not that bad, when the ride was over my legs were so wobbly the attendent came over and took my elbow and said Maam you alright while my DS thought it was funny I was so embrassed
Really.
