OFFICIAL NOVEMBER 2017 THREAD

[dnllmz]

All this talk about food makes me wonder if I overlooked meal planning. Are you all planning all your quick service meals? I was just figuring we would pick up food wherever we felt like it, but now I'm a little panicky. Should I be adding quick service meals into my touring plans?

We don’t plan out our QS meals but my dh insists on eating at Casey’s at least once per trip & he also wants to stop for nachos in Mexico once during our trip. We don’t have a set day, just whichever day we are near there & hungry will work. I really want to try Peco Bills this trip if we can.

I also I am looking forward to not cooking or doing dishes for almost a week!

EPCOT - we want so many things at F&W, but I'm also looking forward to a Grey Goose lemon slushie.
MK - Dole whip and a churro
HS - I haven't tried a carrot cake cookie yet so that's on my list. We also love Dad's electric lemonade at the Tune In Lounge, and we are going to try the margarita flight at the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge.
AK - we love the Dawa Bar's sugar cane mojito! And I know it's not a snack, but I absolutely love the pulled pork sandwich at Flame Tree Barbecue.

Ah, I forgot the churro. I have not had one, but I think I would like that to change! LOL.

Day 2 FP+ selections for our epcot day: Soarin', Mission space and Spaceship Earth. I had a tough time choosing Soarin or TT. In the end Soarin won because it is one neither of us have ever ridden before. So excited to finally experience it!

27 days to go!

We have the QS we want picked out for the most part, but haven't made plans for times.

Yes us too we know which ones we want to visit.

 

[WhoDatDisney]

SO, what snacks/drinks are you most looking forward to??

I will have me a dole whip float and this time, DH and I will each get one, we will not share!
I want to get my hands in a Lapu Lapu as well.
OH, and the Grey Goose lemon slush in Epcot.
A homemade ice cream cookie sandwich at MK.

Hmmm...I guess there's not that many that I'm dying to have. I'm just looking forward to a week where I do no food prep at all!

Churos, turkey ciabatta sandwich at sunshine seasons at Epcot, margarita at La Hacienda, 10 gallon hat sundae at WCC

Still missing the gourmet grill cheese stand that was at Epcot

 

[RedWolf95]

We are AK that day too-what time are your fastpass for FoP?-I managed to snag some for 4-5 when all those extras dropped a couple weeks ago.

Yep same thing, snagged one for 3:20-4:20

 

[King Dominic]

How easy(or hard)would it be to try and swap fastpass+ times with someone? I currently have a FP time of 9:15 for 3 people for FoP on 11/30 and would rather it be around 11. Anyone?

Nevermind, I was able to get what i was looking for. Sorta....

[DisTXMom]

I am still trying to find a Bon Voyage for our last morning so We can spend our entire AK day at only AK from Breakfast to close.
22 Days and I really need to stop looking and say I am done tweaking too.

I found a chef mickey's dinner when we we were 6 hours from WDW on our first visit- for that night, so I'd keep checking if it's something you really want. Good luck

 

[cusegoose]

28 days! My mom's Magicbands are ready to ship. She has her tracking number. Hopefully we'll get our package by Halloween!

 

[Rachel L]

We are at 10 days today and I am excited but also frustrated. Our MK day is Nov 7 which is the last day of taping for the Christmas special. I wish they would just say if they are moving the parade or not b/c my plans need to shift if they do and I need to switch FPs if I can get different time ones.

 

[hazekids246]

24 days and counting! magic bands have shipped and now I'm starting to think of outfits for the fam to wear for pictures at Wilderness Lodge on Thanksgiving Day! Having dinner at Artist PointJust alittle excited over here! LOL

 

[SaintsManiac]

I'm starting to have the pre-trip jitters and worrying about a million things going wrong. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[dnllmz]

I'm getting excited from all the magic band arrival and shipping posts. A 7dmt fp opened up for the MK day that I didn't have one so I was able to grab that and canceled Pirates which we should have no problem doing at least twice during our trip. The only snag is if I get a BOG dinner on that night, it limits the time I can get since the 7d is at 5pm. So FX for a 530, 6 or 630 BOG.

 

[littlebittyhouse]

30 DAYS! Paying off our trip today WOOHOO

 

[brewhome]

I'm starting to have the pre-trip jitters and worrying about a million things going wrong. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Try not to worry too much and just HAVE FUN! After all, you'll be at the happiest place on earth!

Have the dreams started yet? I get those where I’ve missed my flight or they can’t find my luggage.

Have the dreams started yet? I get those where I’ve missed my flight or they can’t find my luggage.

Had the first one last night...we took a nap before MNSSHP (we're going on 11/1) and didn't wake up until 6:30 PM, I was freaking out because we have an ADR at 4:30 so I was like "Aaaahh they're going to charge a no-show fee! And we're going to miss the first few official minutes of the party!" Then we decided to drive to TTC and monorail to MK, but there were no parking spaces at MK Then I woke up...so lesson learned, no nap before MNSSHP Wednesday.

OMG! I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’ve been having a lot of anxiety and dreams about missing our flight. Our flight is super early and I haven’t been waking up to my alarm lately. I’m seriously contemplating just staying up and sleeping on the plane because I don’t want to miss our flight.

 

[SaintsManiac]

Not yet, but I am expecting them soon!

I had a dream last week that we got there and forgot our magic bands at home and we had no tickets. And somehow my dream brain also made it up that there was no way to get new magic bands or access to our tickets. It was a nightmare that actually woke me up from my sleep.
