Your sister looked beautiful! Glad you were able to make her wedding
Sorry you couldn't get a FEA FP but you may do OK doing standby. When DH and I went in August I couldn't get a FP as we booked that trip less than 60 days out. Our Epcot day we checked the app around 11:00 and there was a 45 minute wait for FEA so we said what the hell and went over. Our wait ended up being 23 minutes I'm glad it wasn't longer, I'm not a big Frozen fan but I wanted to at least be able to say I'd tried the ride. So hopefully you'll have good luck like we did!

Also I know earlier in your PTR you mentioned wanting to do the SW dessert party - have you heard it won't be going on when you're there as the new nighttime show at HS, Jingle Jam Jingle BAM will be happening 11/14-12/30? It looks awesome if you love holiday stuff, I booked it for Thanksgiving night. I hope I didn't just give you bad news

I think she was gorgeous! Thanks!

Yeah, I'm hoping the FEA lines won't be too bad on our day. I know my BF isn't too thrilled about waiting for the Frozen ride but he'll just have to deal! Glad that you had a good experience with your wait times!

I did see the news about JBJB, we didn't do the dessert party quick enough and now it's showing no availability Oh well. More money in our pockets! I'm still looking forward to watching them, anything Christmas is right up my alley!

Hi there!! I was browsing PTR's and came across yours and it looks like we are in WDW the exact same dates! We arrive 11/30 and leave 12/8 and are staying at Beach Club...your plans look great so far!
I didn't attempt a FEA FP because my son couldn't care less for Frozen but I am hoping to catch it by doing standby or maybe one will pop up while we are there!
My struggle was getting 7DMT for our first MK day...there was NOTHING available for 12/01. I kept checking back though and was able to snag one about a week or so ago...so keep checking for FEA b/c it may pop up! I don't think the Soarin line will be too bad if you rope drop it b/c I heard the third theater has helped a lot with lines.

Anyway, I will stop blabbering now Only 36 more days!!

@HomeSweetDisney Very cool that we will be there the same dates!

I'm sure my BF won't be too thrilled about FEA either, but what's a girl gonna do? I wanna ride it so bad! I've been checking pretty much everyday to see if FP opens up for it, thank you for the positive experience of getting 7DMT after your 60 days. It gives me hope!

UPDATE!

Only about 33 days to go! Getting really excited.

I've started making my hair/nail appointments for the trip. Beauty is not cheap!

I've been stalking FPs hoping a FEA FP would open up but with not many high hopes. But it happened today! I was on there looking and no luck then again about 10 minutes later I decided to check and there it was! 1:25pm for FEA. I snatched that up real quick! Hoping Soarin' and TT won't be too long of stand-by queues. Have I mentioned how much I hate the tiering system at Epcot? At least put on of the three (Soarin', TT, FEA) in the second tier!

Off Topic: Is anyone a "Big Brother" fan? Is anyone currently watching the new season on CBS All Access? Big Brother: Over the Top? It's my latest obsession.
