I called at 6 am when I saw there message of flight dates switch, but still couldn't select those dates. Rep couldn't see anything, then saw what I saw and told me they were still loading the dates. She said they would be ready at 8 am CENTRAL. I had to leave for work, got there early to get myself some time at work to finish this. I decided to check at 8 am EASTERN just in case she misspoke, and I am so glad I did. Sure enough they opened (I also checked about 15 minutes earlier and thwy were not open at that point). My purchase scenario I outlined in a previous post was stressful enough as it was. ImI so glad I was stuck an hour behind everything else, especially when I had to be sure we got on a certain arrival flight.
hello, joining in on the thread, DH and I had a serious Disney conversation today and we have our minds set on Nov 17-23. We have been in November just never Thanksgiving week. I have heard positive reviews about Boma for Thanksgiving so I made an ADR. I guess no fried turkey for me this year, but that's ok! I'll be at Disney eating zebra domes
I just found this thread and so happy to join
Holiday time at WDW has been a dream for awhile now and we will be staying at my dream Christmas resort too!! We arrive November 18 and stay through November 26. We are staying at POFQ an that resort is a huge piece of my dream trip. As West Coasters, DLR is our home resort and New Orleans Square is my favorite area especially during the Holidays.
During this trip, we will activate our APs and attend our first MVMCP. I've also secured a dinner reservation at BOG for Thanksgiving day. So far, the trip planning has been fun, exciting, and magical. Fingers crossed that the pieces continue to come together once we reach FP day
Hi all! We are heading back to the Poly for the week after Thanksgiving, 11/25-11/30. ADR day was today and I had MUCH better luck than this same week last year. I wonder if there were fewer free dining packages than last year? In any event, there are a few times I'm hoping to change and I had a tough time getting a BBB reservation, but so far so good! We're planning to go to MVMCP on 11/29, and buy 3 days of the CL FPs so that we can fit in more rides on a shorter trip! Happy planning!
We are official. Just booked our flights this morning!
We will be at WDW November 24-Dec 2, staying at ASMu with free dining. So excited!
So far we have been in January, then December, and now November. I guess next year we will go in October.
Have a seat, pass the cranberry sauce and come plan with us! It's the November 2018 thread!*A previous Nov 18 interest thread was in existence, but a poster requested an "official thread" that would keep track of roll call, events, etc. Let me know if you want this taken down!
Whether you're celebrating Thanksgiving, an early Christmas, a birthday, an anniversary or life in general, we're so excited to have you with us!

No you don't have to leave the park. There will be CM's stationed in the parks to scan your magic bands for the party and give you the wristbands. There should be one near Liberty Tree in Frontierland.
