Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[Meeko5]

Thanks for checking! I'm looking for ppo breakfast and lunch for either 27, 29, or 30.

Well that doesn't help you then haha!

Hope tomorrow is more successful for everyone!

When did you go last year? Have been doing a lot of reading on split stay dining and how the system changed but it still seems if that is the case you shouldn't have been able to book everything in one swoop last year.

I totally missed these posts yesterday! We went Veteran's Day week last year. Meeko, weren't you planning the same time last year too? Guess we got lucky then and are paying for it now!

No, I was there the week of Halloween. But then split stays were able to book the whole time at once. How silly of me not to expect they would change that too in a span of a year

I thought it was close to the time I went at least. Remember seeing your name around

All these changes are exasperating. I called at 7am on the dot and am now on hold for at least 15 minutes due to "higher than normal call volume." Well no kidding, when your system eats all the reservations.....grrrr.

At least you have coffee in front of your computer! I now have a trip to Costco planned today to take back my nonworking coffee pot!

I hope they can get you what you want! And stop at Starbucks on your way to Costco, you deserve it!

Hope you get what u want. Fingers crossed. I just got off the phone with them. They def have more reservations. I got a 4:40 Fantasmic package.

So you're the one who took the 4:40! I got a 3:10.

Would any be interested in sharing an Illuminations Cruise on Friday November 25? I just snagged on and thought I would post here first, since y'all will all be there about this same time.

Sorry! So happy we both got one though! Disney stress has got my adrenaline pumping this morning. I hope tomorrow goes smoother. At least I have the app on my iPad now.

How hard is it to get a PPO bfast? We didn't do that last year but want to this time. I am hoping for BOG but would be ok with CP.

What time does "dinner" start there? Is lunch still the Disney Jr characters? I'm hoping to get a holiday dine dinner later in the week but don't need it to be fantasmic.

I think 3:00. I had the cm check before she made the reservation and my confirmation says Minnie's.

BOG Will be tough, but not impossible. At least, it wasn't when we were there last fall. We enjoyed the breakfast but it was waaaaaaay overpriced haha. DH doesn't want to do it again even though it's free on our dining plan, and we split meals last year. He's lame

That sounds awesome, but Friday is our travel day so we will be crashing early I think.

I managed to get lucky last year and was searching at the exact time the dumped BOG breakfast into the system for the first time. I don't know how difficult it is normally. Expecting the worst but hoping for the best. I really think the stars aligned for us last year and we had a pretty perfect trip. Makes me nervous for this year!

We did BOG lunch last year. My DH was not impressed. But my wee one likes beauty and the beast this year so we r going to head back for bfast this time, if I snag one. Sucks our last day is AM EMH that obviously would have been the easiest day to get.

It definitely is way overpriced. But my boys want a jump on mine train!

Is CP PPO difficult? Making my back up plans.

I feel the same! We had minimal melt downs, had great meals everywhere, got all the reservations we wanted after 180 days, etc. it was our first family trip and it was amazing. I'm so scared this one won't live up to it, but maybe that will be a good thing so I won't be itching to go back again next year lol
