Good news! The Wilderness Lodge tour should only take one hour, after all. (It was confusing because I had been given conflicting information before about how long the tour lasts). So for those who were interested in this one-hour tour, it is still on for Thursday, 12/13 at 9:00 AM. It's best to arrive there at the WL lobby at least ten minutes early. We should be done around 10:00 AM, so maybe we can plan the parasailing for Colette at 11:30, and for me at 12:00 noon. That would give us plenty of time to go from WL to the Contemporary after the tour, without rushing.

The idea about jogging in the morning one day was just for anyone who might be interested in that and physically able to do so. No pressure for anyone to do that if they can't or would rather not!

Reply to my own message. This DISBoARDS site is HUMUNGUS.....Its outragous. I wish I would have found this place a long time ago. I love it. Anyone for fishing on 13 July 7am?

Hi Daisy

Thank for researching the WL Tour - I hope to be there - we'll play it by ear!

Hi Daisy

I would love to join you at Liberty Tree Tavern on 12/09 at 11:40 AM - Count me in!

So I will make a lunch reservation for 12/10 at Akershus Norway Epcot - Are we allowed to reserve extra people? If so, I'll make a reservation for four people, in case people decide to go at the last minute (People always seem to be reluctant to eat at Akershus, as the food is quite unique).

Colette

What time are we eating dinner at Planet Hollywood on 12/10? Can we go a little late, say 6:30 PM or so? (I'm not sure if I get the same $15 PH Gift Card that you get, but I know I get a AAA Savings Certificate good for 10 percent off participating locations, including PH. Chances are I'll still be so full from lunch that I'll just have an appetizer and dessert at PH)

Hi Rich,

OK, I'm saving you a spot at the LTT lunch on 12/9.

I'm glad you are considering joining me/us for the WL tour on 12/13. Also glad it turned out to be a one-hour tour. That will appeal to more people than a longer tour would have.

General comment on WDW dining reservations: Yes, you may reserve a table for more people than you have signed up at this moment, but if you haven't filled the extra slots before your trip, it would be best if you call WDW and adjust the reservation accordingly. That way, no one will have to be turned away from the restaurant because someone reserved extra chairs they won't use.

Also (and this gets a little complicated), if you reserve a few extra slots, and can't fill them, and you don't have enough people to fill the capacity of the table, it's possible that WDW won't let you use your own reservation. For example, if you book a table that seats 5 to 6 people, but you end up with only two people that actually show up, the restaurant wouldn't let just two people occupy such a large table, because it wastes space and cuts down on profits. If the restaurant had a two-person table available at the last minute, they would let you sit there, but you would be taking your chances the same as if you had no reservation at all. So, if you book a table for 4, but it turns out you will only have 2, you are best off to call WDW in advance and switch the reservation to a table for 2. Also, don't wait until the week before the trip to do this, because by then, the 2-person tables could all be booked.

When you call for dining reservations, the agent can tell you the seating capacity of the table. If you book a table for 4, but its seating capacity is 3-4, then you will be fine whether you show up as a group of 3 or a group of 4. But if you show up as a group of 2, they probably wouldn't let you sit there.

I hope this all makes sense!

[DaisyDuck001]

yes please... I am really hoping they will let me... like this June vaca... it was a last minute thing that they let me go... I am leaning more to be able to go since nobody here go on vaca at that time and everyone wants overtime for xmas money.

OK ANTSS,

I'm saving you a spot at 1900 Park Fare 12/11, Le Cellier 12/13, Crystal Palace 12/14, and Wolfgang Puck Cafe 12/14.

If you want to join any of the other meals listed on my schedule, please let me know.

Also, when you find out for sure if you can be there in December, please let us know, either way. If you can't go, we'll need to find someone else to use the seat.

But I hope it will work out for you to be with us! After all, you started this thread!

In that case, I'll just make a lunch reservation on 12/10 for two people at Akershus Norway for now, and increase it later if necessary (I almost always eat there solo, no one else seems to like it but me!)

Am I still to early with any early Fab people? I can't wait to try to hook up with some Dissers!!

Hi December Visitors,

I've gotten some more info about my schedule, so I've posted the updated version here. If anyone would like to join me for any of the meals or activities and we haven't already discussed it, please let me know. I've mentioned below how many seats (spots) I currently have left in each dining reservation. It would be nice if there is a group at each of these meals.

This schedule is still somewhat tentative, in that once the MouseFest detailed schedule is released in fall, I may need to adjust some of the meals that occur during Mousefest (12/6 - 12/10).

Hi English Rose -

You may want to start an entirely new thread with "Early February 2008" in the title - this particular thread seems to have evolved to be primarily early December 2007, so other groups may not know to look here.

 

[PennConn]

Hi Everyone

After looking at the dining menus more closely, I decided to do lunch December 10 at Rose & Crown England in Epcot instead of Akershus Norway. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the reservation!

Daisy your schedule looks great (altough I personally will probably go to only one Comedy Warehouse show!)

[Colette]

Rich,
I just e-mailed Kat re: dining time for planet Hollywood, to see if she' o.k. with later. It's fine with me-I was thinking 7:00-that way if i'm late getting in, it won't be a problem and if not, I'll grab a snack and do some shopping first-works for me-I''ll let you know.
I would assume that AAA still has to book the ressie through Walt Disney Co,., so you should get the luggage tags, Planet Hollywood cert. and there's a coupon for a free game of mini golf, which I don't think I"ll have time to use, but you never know. If not, I'll give it to someone. Definately more calories when using dining plan because I don't usually eat dessert and not always an appetizer, but I enjoy it all this way. All the walking we do will work it off.... Colette

7:00 PM for Planet Hollywood would be perfect - I'm going to eat lunch at Rose & Crown rather than the buffet at Akershus in Epcot that day, so I'll have more of an appetite for dinner.

 

[Colette]

Daisy,
I'm glad to hear that the tour at Wilderness Lodge is an hour-now we can fit everything in with out being too rushed. Count me in... Colette

I totally agree! I'm glad it worked out well, and we can do this tour together.

Hi Everyone

Well it's official, I now have the Disney Dining Plan. Here is what I plan to use my 8 Sit Down Options for (in no particular order):

Breakfast Crystal Palace
Lunch Liberty Tree Tavern
Lunch Rose & Crown
Dinner Le Cellier
Dinner Cape May Clam Bake
Dinner Wolf Gang Puck Cafe
Dinner 50's Prime Time Cafe
Dinner 1900 Park Fare

I'm doing Rose & Crown solo unless I hear otherwise, Liberty Tree Tavern with Daisy, and the other 6 meals with most everyone else. Our group is going to be the best yet!

 

[Phantom82]

I went with a dinner at victoria and alberts, narcoosies, yachtclub steak house, brown derby, etc etc etc. you get the point. You will like wolfgang puck, and if you havent the ribs at the drive in theater are great!

 

[Glendamax]

That day I was hoping to get to EPCOT at rope drop. But, I will keep this in mind. The tour sounds like fun!

Obsessive planning you have no idea...I"ve been obsessive about it since december of last year, I am doing every 6 months to disney world. I'm so addicted. I start planning way ahead of time. I even look for someone to go with. Its wild. I try to go with family sometimes I will pick some random person to go with me. But I am definatly obsessive about it.
