Timmy,
Yes 12/12 is MGM day with dinner at 6:30. If you can get the extra day, you'll be able to join us at Le Cellier and CP.
Colette

Since Le Cellier and Candlelight Processional are 12/13, ANTSS will be with us for them even if she doesn't get the extra day.

If she gets the extra day, she could also be with us for Magic Kingdom and Pleasure Island on 12/14.

Daisy

 

[DaisyDuck001]

I'm posting my schedule again, in answer to Mandy's request. The dining times ANTSS asked about are also listed in my schedule below.

Everyone,

I'm there December 4-15, and I have small group meals and activities planned for every day! Please see my schedule below, and let me know if you would like me to save you any of the remaining spots in any of my dining reservations. As long as I have space available in the ADR's, you are welcome to join me for as many of these as you like.

Daisy

I will have an AP, plus my Disney Dining Experience card. I know with the DDE card I can get half price admission to the PI clubs for myself and guest. I'd be happy to use it to get someone else the discounts. I believe the AP may also have some discount associated with it, but the DDE is probably better. I know it also gives 20% off TS meals and alcoholic beverages.

Thank You Aubriee! But now I know why I didnt sign up for that night - I'm going to the Christmas Party @ MK. Here's my schedule:

Tues. 11th Arrive early PM, Eat (@Boma), Sleep

Wed. 12th am MK/ / pm MGM dinner with you guys at Mama Melrose (right?)then Osbourne Lights, and Fantasmic

Thurs. 13th am EPCOT/ /pm EPCOT dinner with you guys at LeCellier, then Candlelight Processional and Illuminations

Fri. 14th am AK/ /pm MK for Christmas Party

Sat. 15th am MK/EPCOT or DTD. Leave for airport about 3pm

I am starting to question whether or not this solo trip is a good idea. All of a sudden it hit me that I will have 9 days to myself.

I understand how you feel, but after posting my schedule, and realizing that I will be missing out on hanging out with everyone at Pleasure Island, I wish I had more time. So ppost your dates, and where you're staying, so you can hook up with some DISers. I think you will find, like me, that you wish you had even longer to stay!

One of my girlfriends is supposed to go with me, but she has 3 kids, and she hasn't firmed up who will be watching them. So I planned my schedule as if I WOULD be alone. For now, she says that is going, but yet I want to be prepared in case she has to drop out.

Thanks everybody for keeping all of this straight! When I come back from my Sept. trip, I should be less confused! I keep getting everything mixed up!!

 

[Colette]

Glenda,
On your schedule, you have 12/12-MGM, which is correct, but we have ressies at 50's Prime Time Cafe at 6:30, not Mama Melrose's. I'm guessing you're going there on the first trip. I don't know how you keep it all organized for two trips-I'm having enough trouble with one....
Colette

 

[newholidayx2]

I am right there with you. This was a surprise trip. Life has been nuts and I just needed to regroup. So DH told me to make plans. I was going to go alone but now my DM is going to join me. Not sure if I am happy about it or not. My mom has only been once, so now I feel I have to show her around instead of just going with the flow.
I am also the lead planner (by my own doing) of a group of 16 of us going in Nov. It is a bunch of people we went to high school with and their kids. It is going to be alot of fun, but a pain to get everyone what they want. (most of all me )

Oh you will be proud, I did bring the suitcase up from the basement. A step in the right direction!!

 

[apirateslife4evr]

if anyone wants to meet up, I'm at BWV from 12/11-12/18. PM me, and maybe we could hang out at DTD one night !!

Hi Donna Lynn

Please see the last few pages of this thread - a group of us will be going to Downtown Disney / Pleasure Island on Friday, December 14. We would love to have you join us!

P.S. See Daisy Duck's schedule on this page - She has openings at several of our group dinners. Let Daisy know if you would like to attend.

 

[ANTSS2001]

Since Le Cellier and Candlelight Processional are 12/13, ANTSS will be with us for them even if she doesn't get the extra day.

If she gets the extra day, she could also be with us for Magic Kingdom and Pleasure Island on 12/14.

Daisy

Yup.. def'ly making a note of this as we speak... and Le Cellier only count as one TS if you are on the DDP right ?

Oh you will be proud, I did bring the suitcase up from the basement. A step in the right direction!!

Hooray!! You are on your way!!!

Thanks !!! I just PM'd Daisy Duck to check about the 14th. That's the one night I DEFINATELY was alone, since my parents are on a dinner by themselves that night. Hopefully I'll see lots of you there !!!!

 

[bpmorley]

I'm up for that, we'll be in touch

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Apirateslife4evr,

Yes, please join us for dinner at Wolfgang Puck Cafe on Friday, 12/14. We'll meet there at 6:00PM. The reservation is for 6:30, but it's a popular restaurant, and for our group to be seated together, they advised arriving half an hour early. Originally I had reserved a table for seven people. I just called them back and said I'd like to add three more people (that way we include you, and also the next two people who RSVP to me. Mandy, how about you??) Although they couldn't book one table for ten people, we have reserved a second table for three people, and if we get there by 6:00PM, they will do their best to push the second table right next to the first table, so we'll probably all be together. Even if not, we would be there in two groups, which is also OK, as no one will have to dine alone.

The revised schedule is below. We now have room for two more people to join us at Wolfgang Puck Cafe on 12/14.

Aubriee,

I just booked my slot for the Yuletide Fantasy Tour on Monday, December 10. Have you already paid for yours, too? Did you get your AP discount? That will be a fun morning.

ANTSS,

I'm still saving you a spot at both breakfast and dinner on Friday, 12/14, until you find out for sure if you can add that day to your trip.

OH! That's right! I'm looking forward to going. People seem to either love or hate the food, but LOVE the atmosphere! So hey, either way we can't lose right! I cant wait to see if I spot something that used to be in our house in there!

I Oh you will be proud, I did bring the suitcase up from the basement. A step in the right direction!!

I'm doing better than you! I actually practiced rolling my suitcases in the hallway, and I'm even THINKING about putting something in it today!

 

[MainStMandy]

Hey I'm in for Wolfgangs if there is a spot left


apirateslife4evr I'm there from the 8-16 solo, so I am up for anything. I'll be at the All Star Resorts, but I am renting a car.

Hi Mandy,

Yes, I'm now saving you a spot at Wolfgang Puck Cafe dinner on 12/14. Glad you can join us!

Hi Apirateslife4evr,

In answer to your question about the dining plan --

When we get together as a group for meals, some people have the DDP, and some don't. That is OK. At the beginning of the meal, the server will ask each person if they are on DDP or not.

Ok, I can not get it together. I have not put one thing in that suitcase. It is just sitting there mocking me. My DD starts Kindergarten in 1 hour(first day) and I am sitting and reading trip reports. While she is there I hope to pack while my DD1 is taking a nap. We will see if that works out.

Thanks Daisy for the update on the time at Wolf Gangs . I will put that in my notes.

 

[PirateMel]

I am looking for a place to watch the Pat's game on Sunday night September 16th, I will be down for a quick weekend solo.
Any Pats fans in the world at that time?????
