Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

This is what my app view looks like as of today. It's like a new version? Mine has never looked like this before, what does everyone else's app look like, is it this?

Mine has looked like that for awhile. Wish I knew why it won't work!

Mine looks like that too, it's definitely new!

So strange, it's new to me but works fine. Wonder what the deal is?

Woah I just updated the MDE App and it's crazy. Why do I want a map view of restaurants as default?! So weird.

The apple update came out June 1.

Per the update page:
"In this release, you'll see a newly redesigned Park Hours screen that gives you an easier way to see the day's parades, fireworks and entertainment showtimes at a glance. Annual Passholders can check the new blockout calendar to see when their passes are valid.
We also enhanced content for attractions, entertainment, dining and more."

Hi! We staying at AoA from 11/27-11/30. We usually stay at my husbands grandparents (1/2 hour from Disney) but this year we decided to stay a few nights at a resort too! This will be our first time staying at a resort with our kids (4 year old twins & a 2 year old) and I know they're going to love it! SO excited!

Welcome Meghan!

 

[Darbylaine]

Thank you!

I do not like the changes at all.

HOURS HAVE POSTED!!!!!

Sure will be nice when they update HS and AK hours! Hoping real ROL in AK will be up and running by then, and that the Star Wars fireworks are still happening at HS.

I have a question for all of you who will be there the same time as my BFF, Nancy, and i are coming down again. She has told me for years that every one else that was there while we were, came from New Jersey. I have no clue where she came up with this, but after starting up conversations with other guests in past trips, it did seem like a LOT of people were from New Jersey.

So...a little casual research here...how many other folks on this thread are from NJ?

I'm not, but my sister and TWO of her friends are also going and are from NJ. I am a PA girl.

Have been reading everyone's posts and it looks everyone did OK on ADRs. Maybe not perfect but at least reasonably pleased? Just checking bc on my FB newsfeed I have been reading about people saying they can get no decent reservations during our timeframe. Trying to decide if I just lucked out by arriving on the 25 or if it's just a case of haters gonna hate hate hate hate...

I did fairly well for a 26th start. I think those starting on the 27th, 28th had a harder time.

The game of ADRs has definitely changed. Two years ago, it was definitely not this difficult. You have to have a solid plan and be ready to pounce before 6am. It sounds like all of us here played the game well. Disney doesn't make it easy, especially when they continually change up the "rules." I can understand that there would be a lot of unhappy people, especially during the free dining times. There are a lot of people who may otherwise not book a TS meal, especially the popular ones, now competing for a reservation. If you hesitate, even by just a few minutes, your coveted reservation can disappear.

I don't know...I had a really hard time getting everything during FD November 2013...

Welcome Meghan!

Thanks!

Thanks! Have you ever stayed there before? We are staying in the Nemo suites.

It's our first time staying there, but I have a few friends that have stayed there recently and they all loved it! I hear the table bed is the most comfortable of all the beds! It was all the positive reviews from friends and the dedicated bus that made me book there this time. We are only a group of 3, but are staying in the Cars suite because I love the extra room and second bathroom!

The second bathroom is what sold me too! My husband's grandparents are staying with us at the resort so there will be 7 of us!

Has anyone been able to book H&V past 4:30 on Dec. 1? I am not interested in F!. I just want a later time for Dinner. I am trying to figure out if I was late trying to get the reservation or if they have not put the later times into the computer yet.
