Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[kellyjeanie]

Can anyone with access to 12/1 tell me if there's anything available for Minnie's Holiday Dine for 6? We don't need Fantasmic! but would like it to be around 5:00 if possible. Thanks!

I'm looking at it now and the latest I see is 4:25.

Ouch. Okay, thanks! I'll make a back up plan then. Of course, I ought to do that anyway. And here I thought I was ready!

Thank you again!

For some reason it won't let me search past 5:30 for that date/restaurant, which is weird because I have a non-F! H&V reserved for 6 p.m. earlier in the week.

Huh.

Clue me in, peeps... I just went to make a practice reservation at Trail's End for lunch for 6 and it auto-filled my party for me rather than it just being me and 5 adults. Did it do that for you, too? If so, that's new since whenever I made my adr's for the September 2016 trip I ended up canceling.

If you want characters, id pick chef Mickey over BOG. Only the beast is at BOG and he doesn't come to you, you go to him after your meal. I wouldn't call it a Character meal really. But we did love the food and the atmosphere

Thanks for the advice. I didn't know O'hana was that close too. I did get a breakfast there for our last park day since I don't know which park we will want to go to again that day. I am thinking a 3rd MK day but will probably let the kids choose if they still have any energy left by then. I also grabbed a BOG dinner just in case. I agree the atmosphere is cool. My kids aren't needing characters, but I am trying to get our money's worth out of FDing I guess.

Yes, you have to choose your party now. If you don't have enough people in your friends/family it will make you name the guests too. Disney just loves to micromanage

It really threw me for a couple seconds so I'm glad I found out now! Thanks.

 

[Meeko5]

Huh.

I think the F! packages won't be very late, because with decreased hours currently Fantasmic starts at 7pm so if it's after 5 you won't have time to eat and get to the show on time...

Yeah, we actually don't want a F! package. We just want to eat there.

Duh, I see that now haha. Oops! Hope you get what you want!!

I've decided if we can't get what we want there we might do a Trail's End brunch on Saturday instead. I've heard they started doing brunch 'til 2:00 on the weekends but the Disney website doesn't confirm that. I don't like not having that confirmation! I know better than to call, so I guess I'll just book the time I want and find out as we get closer if they're still doing the brunch. sigh.

Glad ADRs went smooth for everyone. We also were up bright and early at our house this morning (too early). I did get all of the restaurants we were hoping for but some aren't exactly when I would have liked them. Hopefully in the next 6 months others will shift their schedule and I can improve our times. My computer worked fine but not the app. Besides being on-line right away, I called when the phone lines opened too so I could schedule BBB. I waited about 40 minutes. I layed in bed and listened to the Disney hold music. Thankfully I didn't fall back asleep during that time.

 

[CaraMiaBelle]

Did u get Minnie's?

Yup! And CRT prepare, and BOG breakfast and dinner! Woohoo! The only one I am working on is getting a Coral Reef dinner. I was only able to snag lunch.
Also, I was unable to book for my last two days, for my split stay. I think others said they could, but bo luck here. So, I will have a couple to ow up with next week!

 

[CaraMiaBelle]

Hoarding a few here too! Got all the places we wanted, though not the "perfect" times. But gives me something to do the next 179 days, right?

Did the app work for anyone? The website worked smoothly this morning, but the app wouldn't work. I even uninstalled and reinstalled and it still won't work...

App did not work for me....

I thought about Trails End brunch as well. Ended up going with our favorite breakfast, Boma instead though.

We plan on that one as well! We ate dinner at both last time.

 

[Meeko5]

So weird that the app worked so well for me! My computer is a dinosaur so I expected issues there.

I've definitely got some stuff I'll be dropping in the coming weeks - likely a BOG PPO bfast on 11/29, a BOG Lunch, and a BOG dinner either the 29th or 12/2. I'll offer them up here first in case anyone wants them

Oh and an Ohana for sure too. I need to decide between BOG and Ohana on 2 nights lol

Is trails end a pain to get to? I've never been to FW so I'm picturing it to be a hike lol. We've got dinner at Whispering Canyon so we can take the boat over, but may need to look into Trails End too!
