ADR's are getting closer for me. We are doing quick service dining but we might be 2-3 table meals. 22 days until ADRS!

Changed my dates and some other stuff too:

summerlady
Where are you staying? POFQ
*When are you going? Nov 15 through Nov 20
*Who's in your group? Me, DH, DD, DGD10
*What is everyone hoping for as far as ADRS? 1900 Park Fare breakfast, Rose & Crown dinner, Biergarten lunch, Liberty Tree Tavern dinner, 50's Prime Time dinner
*What are you looking most forward to? Experiencing a Disney World Christmas! Spending time with my family at POFQ. Our DD hasn't been to WDW since 1995, DGD has been there twice with us and she's excited about having her mom with her this trip.
*Are you using any other site to help you plan? I've always been able to find everything I need right here at the DIS. I like watching ride videos at youtube and I check stuff out at the Disney site as well, just because.
*What are you doing to get in the Disney spirit now? Beginning to make lists, reading menus, waiting for park hours, talking about Disney constantly , DGD is very excited about wearing her Alice costume to the breakfast at 1900 Park Fare.

I'm happy with the 35% pin code I received, but if free dining is extended, I'll be calling to change again. Disney consumes way too much of my time!

Welcome to both of you!! Happy Planning!!!

I have to say I'm super honored to have mrsksomeday over here!! I've read your PTR/TRs and you're like a DISboard Idol to me!

AmberHeartsDisney - I can't wait to make ADRs either...I've got to spend some time sitting down and figuring out where we're going to be which days once more before I commit to ADRs. The only one I'm super worried about is breakfast at CRT. The rest I can juggle around a bit...that's one I'm not willing to miss though!

I'm trying to get my ADR ducks in a row also-- But since we'll be there Nov. 26 through Dec 25, I'm going to have to commit to some ADR's before I know December hours. How are others handling this??? Use last year's hours?

Thanks!

That's what I'm doing. There's a link in post 31, page 3 for last year's hours. I haven't compared November's last year to this year yet to see if they're close or not yet. I hate not knowing! Hopefully the hours will come out and we'll be able to swap ADRs and get whatever we want without headache!

That looks really awesome!

 

[Melodious]

The new itinerary does look awesome. It'd be really helpful for us now because we made all our ADRs this morning And we got everything that we were looking for Now we only need to buy our la Nouba tickets and we'll pretty much be set

here is the link to the survey http://www7.intellisurvey.com/run/imd056656

We're scheduled for November 26 - December 5th. This will be our first time doing the week AFTER Thanksgiving. We usually do the week OF Thanksgiving. We are excited!! Oh boy! Let's start planning now. Can you close your eyes and see it? I can... And, I love it!!

Hey tinkerfan, we will be there the same time from November 24 - December 4. We brought already brought our Mickey's Very Merry Christams Party tickets. We are having a wedding/family celebration. 23 family members in all. Planning a Grand Gathering.

 

[SabbyR]

We are staying at the Beach club From Nov. 30 to Dec. 13!!! My Dh, 3 dds, and MIL and FIL are all coming. I hope we are able to get into the castle to eat. and cant wait for MVMCP

 

[Christine42566]

It is my husbands and my 20th anniversary this year!! We've never been to Disney World around the holidays. We are booked at Saratoga Springs in a 1 bdrm. Dec. 5th thru the 9th. We are waitlisted at Boardwalk Villas and Wilderness Lodge Villas. Hopefully one of those will come through!! But just to be at Disney is enough for us!!

 

[TNMOUSE]

We will be there Nov 20-27. Looking forward to Thanksgiving at the World... we are staying at Bonnet Creek. Own DVC/SSR but also own Wyndham...can you believe it is "Value" season with Wyndham. Hopefully the crounds will be manageable, this is our first trip at Thanksgiving.

 

[AmberHeartsDisney]

We just booked are flight down! Now we are all set! in less we get a rent a car haha

 

[Melodious]

We are getting so excited We've paid for our flights, two nights of tickets to MVMCP, tickets to la Nouba, and half of our resort!! And we booked all of our dining!! And best of all, we got everything we wanted. After spending far too much time on the boards, I thought it wasn't possible to get everything, but we got a TPV room at the GF with our 40% off pin, all of our dining choices, even the exact seats my mom wanted to la Nouba. Guess all this preplanning pays off! Because this is going to be our dream WDW trip

We're not on the dining plan and today my mom even bought a gift card from the Disney stores site because we want to prepay for our food instead of having a large credit card bill. We'll probably buy several and have them put on our keycards at checkin.

The only thing left is to order a cake two weeks before we go. But that seems like such a looooong time away

Anyone else going crazy about now?

 

[PolyndianPrincessJes]

Added our flight info today (for DME), sent a revised list of ADRs to IPO and called VIP Services to get details. Lots of sewing and creating outfits for the trip over the summer. Can't wait for December!!!!!

How were you able to book your dining already? That's wonderful. You must have your trip the first two weeks of November then? I think we have to wait until next month before we can do our ADR's. Our trip is Nov. 28th-December 7th. Sounds like you guys are going to have a great time. We wish we could go to the MVMCP, but I don't think we will be able to afford it this time around. Maybe next time.

You don't need to get multiple cards if you don't want to and live near a Disney Store- just bring your giftcard with you to the Disney Store. They will just add $$ onto it as you go. We do this as a way to pre-save for our trips- I just make sure to save all reciepts, make photocopies, and keep track of how much $$ is on the card. Makes it easier, only having to keep track of one card instead of lots.

Sounds like we might be at WDW around the same time- I made 2 of our 3 ADRs this past weekend. Have a wonderful trip- sounds like it will be great!!
