We are hopping to DHS this evening also!! Crazy... we all have the same plan!

You could add them on down there... We use them but it works with our schedule set up.... How much is it again? $55?
Personally I like the freedom of skipping around too- however you also have a lot of ADRs too.. Right?
I recommend Park Hoppers to all of my friends and family. We don't follow a strict schedule, and there have been many times we have gone to a park, found it too crowded and hopped to a different park. AK and DHS don't take all day, so it goes the option of 2 parks on those days.

DS was mad when he found out that Lou Ford is with the Orioles now. He was part of the Long Island Ducks not too long ago. DS got his autograph when DH took him to a game.
Wow! Page 240 and just 10 pages to go. We will definitely be on the 3rd incarnation of this thread before the weekend is out.
My TA (yes, I booked with a TA...before I learned of the DIS) is trying to convince me into adding park hoppers onto our tickets. I'm not sure when we'd use it based on our schedule. I'm gonna ask her when she thinks we would use it. I'm torn about it. Thoughts?
levenhopper said:Yup, $55 per person. And yes, we have lots of ADRs. Usually a breakfast and a dinner. But it would allow us to move around for PM EMHs.
Our AK day we have a 5PM California Grill ADR, so I figured we'd leave the park by 3PM at the latest to head to AoA, change, and then to the ADR. Then, I think we'll monorail hop for a bit to see resort decorations before heading back to California Grill or the Polynesian beach to watch fireworks. It's our only "free" night, so I doubt we'll head to a park. Plus, I think we'll end up at Jellyrolls that night, too.
It's weird, some people say DHS doesn't take a full day, and others say they need two days. I'm incredibly confused as to how to plan our day(s) there. My TA has us there for an AM EMH + most of the day for one day (before heading to a 6PM showing of Cirque du Soleil), plus another full day later in the week.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Ok guys I really want to do Chef Mickey's but I can't find any openings that aren't at 9pm the week of Dec. 10-16. If anyone sees any let me know please. Should I be stalking dining reservations daily?

It's a COLD, FROSTY morning here in PA. We have a 2 year olds birthday party to go to today. His momma is a Disney fanatic too and the party theme is Mickeys clubhouse. I can't wait to see it, she said she's doing a 'hot dog bar' for food, lol. Gotta love Pinterest

80*!!!! Wow! All though I'm ready for winter so that all these germs can get killed off around here. We had practically no winter last year and we are paying for it with sickness.

Happy Saturday All! I've noticed that WDW hasn't put out a numbered map of the Fantasyland Expansion. They love their secrets!
Soooo, I made one in Photoshop by combining the hi-res graphic that Disney gave out and information provided by talented and dedicated DISboarder Robo who has been keeping up on attraction locations on a sattelite map. Here is a board-friendly version:
On the 1 or 2 day DHS debate it really depends on how many of the stage/stunt shows you want to take in and still enjoy the rides. With the Indy Stunt Show, LMA, Beauty and the Beast, and Fantasmic! you have a pretty full day if you can even make the scheduling work. Add on to that ToT, RnRC, TSM, Muppets, and more and you're easily beyond a day. If you want to see everything you're probably looking at a day and a half. If you can miss some stuff a day will do you.
Is it really possible to see the turn on of the Osborne Lights and enjoy it ...and catch Fantasmic!? Or is it possible to watch Fantasmic! and still have enough time to go over and really take in the lights?
On another subject, I've read several posts about the wait for Neil Patrick Harris's reading of the Story of Christmas/Candlelight Processional. He seems to be the one to see and he is doing his last night the day we fly in. I've heard his line can stretch down to Canada, even with the Processional Dining Package. Is it worth it to pay the premium for the dining package if the line is still going to be that long?
Good call on the doughnuts Wedgie, good way to start your weekend
We're finally getting some rain today, which I'm actually happy about. We've had a long summer with higher than seasonal temps and this is the first rain we've seen in months. Tomorrow will be cloudy and cool, which also works as we plan on taking our girls to a local farm/pumpkin patch
Small world... Lew Ford is from our town.
ksromack said:I bought the Canon Power Shot SX260HS. It was around $300 when I bought it right after christmas......I do not love it, but I don't hate it either. I specifically bought it for this trip and I promised myself I'd use it so that I'd know the ins and outs of it.....but I always find myself using my dSLR all the time because it takes such fantastic pictures. On the upside, the new camera came with a darling wrap around short tripod.....I envisioned wrapping it around a tree or some fixture so I could take good fireworks pictures at MK. It's small enough to throw in my small cross-body bag but who am I kidding....I'll probably use my Rebel more than anything. I will try to make myself use this silly camera between now and December.....did I mention that I don't love it?
