Just FYI there are holiday Magic Bands on the Disney Store website this morning. I check the site every morning for new things.... pathetic I know... but it is what it is!

 

[chinarider]

any updates on extended park hours...... this is all I need to finalize ( ha ) my ADRs

 

[Cluelyss]

Can anyone tell me (in detail - I am geographically challenged ) where the FP spots are for the parade & Wishes?
TIA!

There are 2 Wishes FP spots, one in front of the Plaza and one in front of Casey's. The parade FP area was around the flagpole at the entrance of MK while they were doing construction on the hub, but not sure if it's still there now that they are completed with everything (I think?). Previously, the FP viewing area was in the hub.

If I do Soarin with a FP+ right at 9am, will I make my 9:45 ressie at The Garden Grill?

I just hit my 45 day mark on the countdown! I feel like it was a milestone. So excited!

I would think so. They are both in the same building. Ride time on Soarin' is 5 minutes and there shouldn't be a wait at 9am.

If I made my son's countdown chart correctly, we are exactly 30 days away!!!

Thank you!

I am battling uber-excitement over being just 26 days from our december trip with uber-disappointment over the news that SWW is not happening next year for our May trip.

However, our magic bands should be here any day so woohoo!! I got the ship notice last week. Can't wait to go home to BLT!

Can anyone tell me where the FP+ area is for the FoF parade? How about for wishes and MSEP? thanks!

So excited! I received the note that my magic bands have been shipped and I ordered a celebration cake this morning. If all goes well, I will actually be in WDW in 26 days and even with my husband! Lets to hoping the army doesn't mess up my plans!

 

[Aladora]

I'm so jealous of everyone who has had their MagicBands shipped! As a Canadian, I have to wait until we get to the hotel before we get them.

Our MagicBands arrived today! So excited!!

Curious if anyone who has been to WDW recently could confirm if it is true in your experience that at about two weeks out, ADRs will start to open up a bit?

Yes, definitely noticed this in September (we planned the trip last minute so was constantly stalking ADRs!)

ETA: ended up being able to book CRT, BOG and CM

Here is a corny question: do ya'll dress up for the Christmas party? I'm not thinking sweaters but maybe long sleeve shirts?
Does anyone have an etsy shop they can recommend for quick turn around? I'm lucky I have a husband that is willing to go along with my crazy ideas, to an extent of course
