Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

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

My 3 year old just hit 38 inches he is going to be so excited to ride this year!

Our PPO Morning went so smooth. Loved being in the park early, got some awesome pics, enjoyed our only leisurely non sardine stroll down Main Street. It was truly magical.

I may just book a breakfast if I can get one and tell DH he's welcome to sleep in and I'll take the boys myself haha

I feel the same! We had minimal melt downs, had great mess 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

Ditto. Last year was perfect. Can't imagine this year can go as smooth. This morning proves that. Haha. Last year I was unaware Disneys website ever has problems.

With our PPO breakfast DH and I each got to ride mine train with our oldest, and on our 2nd ride the CM called us over and gave us a swap pass. We also all had FP For it that afternoon. My son rode it 5x in one day haha. I told him he was incredibly fortunate and to never expect to do that again haha.

We rode 4 times one day and 3 times another. It was wonderful!

Just out of curiosity, I just checked for ppo breakfasts for the 26th, and there are quite a few available right now, so maybe there is hope for us tomorrow!!

Good news! Also tomorrow the rest of FD arrivals for the 26th will be booking too! Hope that doesn't kill the system. Pixie Dust to us for good luck

I'm trying not to be jealous of all of you! My ADR date isn't until Wednesday. Leave me a crumb! Lol

 

[Meeko5]

You guys will appreciate this - I just looked at my MDE and somehow I made a reservation for TODAY at Hollywood and vine

Had a nice chat with a Disney dine guy on the phone since I couldn't cancel this close o the reservation. He was like "do you want me to change It to a different restaurant for today!" And I said "not unless you want to pay for me to fly in this afternoon from Michigan!"

He laughed and says this happens a lot haha. So glad I checked or I'd have been very unhappy to see a $40 no show fee on my CC lol

We leave the 3rd so only a couple of ours days overlap. Don't worry too much.

Ha! Glad you caught it!


As for us, I'm sure we'll have plenty of availability in the latter part of our trip. I'm a bit concerned about the first couple days, but I guess most of the tougher things I want will be later anyway. I'll chill.

The only thing I wanted for the 26 was Minnie's Fantasmic dinner for 5 of us. guess tomorrow will be the same thing trying to get BOG!

Oh no. My ADR day is tomorrow and I think I am more worried about that one (I also need the 26th for 5) than CRT prepark!

I bet it will be "broken" by 6:15! Lol!

Hey now don't Jinx us!

... Give it to at least 6:30 before it breaks!

Lol! I hope you are right! I didn't want to sound really confident nothing would go wrong or I would REALLY Jynx us! I need to have everything booked by 7:30!

I was just able to book a fantasmic dining on the 25th at H&V on the website using my iPhone. I wonder why it isn't working for you guys?!

Does anyone know what the time range is for the Minnie's Holiday Fantasmic dining package at H&V?

It's a pretty narrow window. In looking at the drop-down where you pick the time to search for, it looks like they are only listing times from 3-5 pm.
