Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

[heath92681]

We are in a camper until tomorrow with my in laws. No wifi, and I'm 1/4gb from going over on my data plan. No running water. No electricity without turning on a loud generator.

Send helpppp

Why didn't I bring alcohol?!

Oh my, you are a much better woman than I'll ever be!!

Thank you for this! I was able to book exactly what we wanted just now.

Yep, I was just coming back to say some people were getting things booked already.

I just booked my CP at Coral Reef for two.

 

[jlundeen]

So I tried to book online, but couldn't...are you folks who did get packages, did you call in for your reservation?

 

[Melwhit16]

That explains why I got a text about openings for Coral Reef at 3:30am! Without skipping a beat I got on the app, got my reservation and rolled back over and went to sleep. This morning thought it was a dream so I had to check first thing and it was there. Making ADRs in my sleep

I booked on line, but did not go through the Candlelight sight. I went through the regular dinning site.

Yes, I recommend looking through the regular dining site! I was able to find a lot more options just searching for reservations at Epcot for the time I wanted than by looking at just the CP page.

Think it's strange that there's nothing available for Garden Grill or Akershus...

Keep looking they might be the last two to load. When I started looking for Coral Reef only a 4:30 showed up, but a hour later three later times showed up

 

[Jgeauxmo]

Has anyone done cp with a two year old? I'm thinking he isn't going to sit through it and I don't want to set him up for a melt down on our last night.

 

[jlundeen]

Does anyone know if a FP is still included for Illuminations with the dinner package for CP? Haven't done this for many years, and way back when, it was an added benefit...doesn't say anything about that now.

 

[ValerieK]

I was hoping for Rose & Crown, but nothing available except a night we can't rearrange stuff. I ended up booking San Angel Inn for 11/29. Looked at a 5:15pm time, but its $71.50 for dinner at San Angel Inn?!! Booked a lunch instead. There sure isnt too many available times and restaurants to choose from.

 

[SweetMo]

A ton of Akershus ADRs just opened up if anyone is still looking!

 

[TiggerManiac]

Akershus just opened up a ton of availability, for CP and regular.

I got non-CP Akershus for 5:00 pm on 11/28.

I got a Captain's Grille (at Yacht Club) breakfast reservation for 9:20 (for 8:15 CP) originally, but called in and was able to change it to 8:00. I plan on showing up about 7:39, hoping they can seat us early, so we can walk over to Epcot and be there for rope drop.

I am also ecstatic that Neil Patrick Harris is the narrator on the 28th, which I already had scheduled as our first Ecpcot day.

Now the only ADRs I'm still hoping for are 8:00 am Be Our Guest on 11/27. It's not a huge deal if I don't get that, because I have that for 12/4. I also want to change our 12/2 4:15 Yak and Yeti to a later dinner time. Pretty sure that availability will open up if they extend AK nighttime hours for December, which they haven't announced yet.

Today is a very good day!

 

[heath92681]

So how difficult is it to see the CP if you don't have seating via the dining package? Just not sure I want to spend 2 credits or pay for a meal out of pocket . . .

 

[MichiganScott]

There's a fair amount of standing room if you get there in time (depending on crowd level). We watched it last year and were very glad we didn't spend 2 credits, cause we were fine with standing for that.

 

[MonaMN]

I grabbed a reservation for 12/1 at Biergarten - in part because we really enjoyed it last time, but also because it was the cheapest and we will probably pay out of pocket - assuming we keep the ADR. I really want to go (NPH!!!!) but I am not sure if DH and DD will be too thrilled. I have about 150 days to convince them!

 

[kellyjeanie]

I had talked myself out of a PPO Akershus reservation but lo and behold, a bunch opened up today. So I now have an 8:30 reservation for Akershus on 11/29, and a late lunch reservation the same day for CRT. And to add more choices, I'm now considering a 1900PF dinner instead of those. So I need to pick only one. I think I'll wait until we tell the kids and then ask DD what she prefers - my 5-year-old DS who will be with us will be down with whatever, I'm sure, he's pretty easygoing. And wait to see how crazy Norway remains - 8:30 may not even be early enough if they make you wait until your actual time to be seated.
