Week After Turkey Day Shenanigans

We went the ppo breakfast route last year for 3 of our days (AK and MK) and are planning to do that again for MK. Much less stressful, got some nice photos, and lots of rides done early.

We aimed to leave from CBR an hour before our ADR. Took much less time, but plan to do the same this year just in case.
 

We watched that hoarde coming as we got on SDMT for the second time after our PPO BOG. It was CRAZY!! Glad to have FPs both days just in case DS7 decides he wants to ride more than once. No way would I wait more than 20 min for that ride!
My DH almost got in a fist fight in that mess! Not really, but words were exchanged. Talk about your Disney magic! LOL:rotfl2:
 
I'm doing another ADR clean up for 11/30, 12/3, and 12/4. I am seriously having problems planning these 3 days :badpc: and I just need to make some decisions, or decide to not decide until we are there. Make sense? o_O Anyways, I'm pretty confident I no longer want these after the additions of some fireworks dessert parties and all the Epcot food info released lately (I'm basically starting from scratch). I'll keep these until at least Friday so PM me if interested before then.

I swear I'm not trying to be an ADR hoarder (well except maybe all my Yak & Yetis on my AK day...)

I have a friend whose son is performing in the Disney Christmas Parade. She says they are filming it on Sunday Dec 4th. I'm relieved it won't be while we are there!

Ooohhh, dodged a bullet there. I love the parade but hate crowds that crazy. Thanks for the heads up!!

I am dropping an ADR for Sunday, Nov. 27. It's DURING the VMCP so it may not be desirable, as it will also interfere with fireworks (which is why I'm dropping it). PM me if interested, I'll hold it till Friday.

I'm confused. I thought that Disney released that the taping at WDW was Nov. 9-13 and that the actual parade was being taped at Disneyland this year?
 
I've never used uber and am nervous because we have a toddler and I'm sort of a car seat freak! I assume you could request a car with a seat though?

I'll stick with the buses haha!
I'm the same way about the carseats. I'm one that gets on property and never leaves..
 
Today was a successful shopping day! Raincoat, 2 new pairs of yoga pants/capris, 2 new tops, new jeans, and a hoodie were delivered. Picked up a pair of Adidas running shoes for 50% off today at Meijer along with some glow sticks, a backpack for myself that will be perfect for lugging my big camera around the parks, a backpack for DS7 to use on the plane, travel size shampoo/conditioner, and a few pairs of cheap short for the 7yo.

this weekend I will start putting together outfits and packing stuff we don't use right now.

Checking so much off the to do list!!

23 DAYS!!!! :banana::cheer2::banana::cheer2::banana::cheer2::banana::cheer2:

I thought the same thing. I don't know her super well (wife of a friend, facebook friends) but she commented that they will be there Dec 1-5 to watch their son perform in the parade on the 4th. Maybe it's some other parade? I don't know. Either way, I'll be gone lol.

Could it be that her son will be in the parade but no filming? :)

:cheer2: Yay for successful shopping! I need to stop any more shopping! LOL! I just got us all a few more t-shirts today and want to check out GAP since they have 50% off :bounce:

That same weekend last year there were TONS of cheerleaders,band members and ball players. We stood in line with one of the cheerleaders at Pirates. She was "performing" in the parade that day. I feel like this is the weekend for Pop Warner Super bowl.

You guys reminded me that I need to get some shorts for DS11 - he grew out of his shorts this summer, ugh. And DS5 may need a pair of shoes, he has one pair of tennies that were new at the end of the summer but he's worn them nearly every day and they look a bit ragged.

I finished the pin binder this weekend and decided we needed a couple more pins for trading so snagged a few on ebay. I got the iron-ons for my sweatshirts but haven't actually done the ironing - I'm scared that I'll screw it up but that only means I need to do it sooner in case I do so I have time to order a replacement, lol. And now that the Magic Bands are here I need to apply the decals I got from Etsy. I'm glad that the initial order from Etsy came with a typo - she replaced it but now I can use the typo as a test run on the old Magic Bands!
 
Hi all, I've been following along this thread, we will be in FL 11/25-12/11 and at Disney 11/26-12/5.

Currently figuring out how to do Fantasmic, since with JBJB they can't be done on the same day. I have Coral Reef dinner reservations one night at 8:05- I could push those back. How long would it take to leave Fantasmic and get to Epcot? What is the quickest way to get there?

Also, we're staying at CBR. We have scheduled an 8:20am PPO H&V and want to do JA sign-ups before breakfast. What time is the absolute latest we should plan to be at the bus stop for HS?

I would be at the bus stop by 7. That way you are thru security and can get in the park at 745 when they let PPO'S in.

We did EMH RD at all 4 parks last year. Arrived at bus stop at 7am but by the time we got to AK it was already open. No big deal though. MK we had about 15 mins to spare before opening show. Drove to HS and Epcot. Had lots of time there. I much prefer driving!

I may be dropping one Dec 3 at 7:55 am.

I have party of 6 on 12/3 around 10am I will drop if I get Cape May.
