Who wants to plan with me? mid Nov - mid Dec - We're up to 110! WOW!

[princess-rn]

So, DH is looking into going on a WDW fishing excursion on the Downtown Disney lakes. Has anyone done this before? If so..how did you like it and what was the cost? He wants to do the Bass boat not the pontoon. He's an avid fisherman. Thanks in advance!!!

Haven't done that yet....interested to hear if others have though!


For those interested in the parade taping, I found a thread on it tonight: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2435735. It doesn't appear to have a ton of information but I bet more will be coming out soon as our trips all get closer.

Just a little bump since it's been a couple of days! Hope everyone had a great Easter/spring break!

Does anyone know when and or if Disney will be distributing their "DINING CODE PINS" for the fall or for winter, such as Nov/Dec. dates? ? Need help with this one, and if you happen to have one, please PM it to me, please. THANKS. Have a Magical Day.

Pincodes are only good to the persons name there issues in and can not be shared.

Me too! Only making one dining reservation, but can't wait to do it. Need those park hours first so I know which day we're going to the MK.

YAY!! Isn't it great that something's close??? It feels like this trip is years away!

Oh what's the one you're going to make? I'm praying for an extra early CRT one morning for this trip. Other than that, everything else I'm willing to try and fit in whenever. I wish the hours would come out very soon!!! I'm not so patient!

51 days for ADRs for us.

 

[bouncy54]

We're going to try to get a reservation for early breakfast at the Crystal Palace. We did this in 2005 and just loved it! Kids are older now so they probably won't get into Winnie & Tigger so much, but still... Main Street with hardly anyone there? Yeah...now that's what I'm talkin' bout'!

I don't think this has anything to do with an excursion? but when I made reservations it mentioned something about Bass fishing voucher?

I think this a good article about DTD Pleasure Island..brings back memories of my honeymoon in 98'. My wife and I visited everyone and had a great time..

For those looking for stickers to take along and use for your kids or to help spread the magic, this site looks like it has quite the assortment of Disney stickers. Now I've never personally ordered from them myself but I was looking for the bigger stickers to order and they've got rolls of 100 for $3.

[mom of 3 blondes]

Hello. We have changed our dates slightly....going from Nov 30 to Dec 9. Flying on a tues would give us a better chance a getting a seat sale from Canada. The prices to fly are really outrageous!!!! And then we thought that we might as well add a couple days to our trip b/c since the flights really are expensive, what is the big deal of paying for a couple of extra nights?!!! Anyways, it will be me, my DH, our 3 little blondes (DD3,DD7, and DD9) and my mom. Is anyone else getting excited as I am!
As for ADRs, I did have a plan but cannot really decide whether go ahead and book all our dinners, and two breakfasts WITH the dining plan or to just do a couple of character meals and pay for them out of pocket. My DH really does not like being on a time line... Any thoughts?

Dates changed!

I love the dinning plan and for us it's a huge money saver because I always make sure we use all of our credits (don't leave any left unused at the end of your trip). It's hard to be on a super strict schedule at Disney - things always seem to come up, a line's "super short" or there's a "must see" character along the way. One thing I do is schedule our breakfasts before the parks open (my boys are VERY early risers!!) to not have to worry about having to leave a park or anywhere to make a reservation. If I do dinner, I try to pick a time when we're coming back into the parks (early dinner reservation after taking a rest at the hotel) or later so we can stop on the way out of the park. The biggest sell for me is showing DH all the places he wants to eat and what it would cost to eat everything he wants at the places he wants and that shows the savings alone.

Good luck with your decision!!

I'm in!!!

*Where are you staying? Theme Park View Club Level at the Poly (SOOO excited to be back home!)
*When are you going? Dec 1-8
*Who's in your group? Moi, DS(will be)5, DNiece(will be)8, DSis17, BFF and her DD(will be)2, mom, grandparents
*What is everyone hoping for as far as ADRS? CRT breakfast, CP breakfast, Tusker House breakfast, Garden Grill dinner, Cape May dinner, 1900 PF dinner
*What are you looking most forward to? Christmas!!! My DSis (just adopted) and BFF and her daughter are newbies, so I can't wait to see everything with them for the first time, character meals, our WONDERFUL rooms at the Poly, just being there!
*Are you using any other site to help you plan? I've decided to give up my control and have sent my ADR requests to the Poly IPO. We also plan to do the VIP tours for two or three days so I won't have to think. At all.
*What are you doing to get in the Disney spirit now? Wishing it was December!!! I LOVE DTunes, so I have that on whenever I get home. I'm always on the lookout for good deals on Disney trinkets to bring for the kids. Just made and ordered their photo autograph books. Thinking about costumes and customs for the kids (and probably should get started). Have to space all this out when you're so far away so you get a fix every few weeks.
