My family is looking at a trip back to Disney Thanksgiving weekend of 2020. I am in the early planning stages and just trying to get up to speed on the changes since our last visit in 2012. MDE seems to be the biggest change in terms of planning. Also, for the first time, we will have different travel arrangements and I'm curious how the best way to book would be.
On Thanksgiving, my wife and I would be arriving with our teenage sons. I'd like to reserve a 2 queen lake view room at CL for the 4 of us. On Saturday of Thanksgiving, my daughter and 3yo Granddaughter would be arriving. On Tuesday afternoon, the boys would return home so they didn't miss any more days of HS and College. My wife, daughter and granddaughter would stay until Saturday.
I'm wondering if I can book the same lake-view tower room for the whole trip? We would stay with the boys in that room until the girls arrive on Saturday. Then for the Saturday - Tuesday portion when everyone is there, we book a 2nd room....King Theme park view for my wife and I? Once the boys leave, we go back to the lake view room with our daughter / granddaughter.
I'm thinking I would reserve rooms-only since I know Thanksgiving rooms will be hard to get and less likely for a discount. I'm just trying to figure out how this will work with the MDE, specifically meal and fast pass reservations. Is this doable? Or is there a better way to manage this trip?
Thank you in advance!
