***1st Week of December Thread ADR Plans, Park Hours, and dealing with Pop Warner***

Since we aren't doing JBJB or EMM or any special dessert parties and after reading about it this morning I feel like I NEED this Sleigh Ride in my life. The only day it would really fit is the first day, 12/4. We have the brunch at Trail Ends and then were supposed to head to Disney Springs for shopping and dinner at Raglan Road. Should I move the TE brunch to dinner and do brunch at Raglan Road instead?

I was checking the Raglan Road menu for a Sunday lunch and they have a special brunch menu. We like Trails End for both breakfast and dinner. We haven't tried brunch at TE yet. Both restaurants sound good.

I am here 11/28 - 12/5 and I am desperately seeking a CP anywhere! I have to have a dinning reservation to see a CP correct?

No, you can see Candlelight Processional on standby, but the wait can be long to get in. Are there seriously NO CP packages on any dates? I'm really surprised (although I know NPH is very popular, but he isn't there that whole time!).

How many do you have in your party? Are you looking for a particular restaurant? Are you wanting breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

@Spowell Yes, let us know, we can help you look!

@Spowell In a very quick search I found a CP dining at la hacienda on December 4. But I only put in for 2 people.

 

[Iowamomof4]

I'm seeing several options for lunch and dinner. @Spowell , if you go to dining and just search Epcot, pick a date and a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner), all the options that are available for CP will show at once. It makes it a lot easier than trying to search restaurant by restaurant.

When I called this morning/afternoon, it was an hour wait. When I finally got on with someone, there weren't many available. Hope it is for you, but try not to get your hopes up too much.

I think this is because it is bookable 180 days in advance... When I first booked and didn't find the time I wanted, I called again a few days later and they had availability... but this was a couple of months ago.

[Mintycake]

Country Bears... anyone doing this? How is it? I've never been...

It's cute from what I remember. I am planning on it. Will be a nice break.

 

[Lisa F]

I asked about 7:30pm on 12/4 because I have CA Grill for dinner and maybe free after. They had some decent times but nothing that would work for me. I think 6:30 and 7 might have been available but all too tight for me? I don't remember for sure but i think it is worth a phone call.

 

[Candycane83]

For anyone interested... I just saw on the restaurant board that they may be able to do take out for Sanaa bread service

 

[Talby]

About the FW sleigh rides...

Sorry if this was mentioned; I am so far behind! But POR has horse and carriage rides. Maybe that's an option if you can't book the one at FW. Not quite the same environment but the horse/carriage setup looks to be at least similar. And the grounds at POR are beautiful. The ride apparently goes alongside the river. Maybe a stop before time spent at Disney Springs? Then you could just take the boat that goes from POR to DS. Looks like it's a little less expensive. Just throwing Disney option number 10,084 into the mix!

Now this is an extra we might just do, @Talby since we are staying at POR and the kids would find it fun Although I have us so scheduled, not sure when I would fit it in after dinner and before bedtimes. Ugh! Maybe if RoL doesn't happen this is our alternate evening activity with a plan to cancel for RoL.

 

[BDFmom]

@SilSprBea I'm so sorry your having such a hard time with your TA.

Feel free to rant and rave to us! We all get it!

It sounds like I need to round up the people attending the 12/1 and 12/4 MVMCP to 'plank' spots!

I'm all for group holding so that we are not all

 

[Lisa F]

I'm not above drinking out of a sippy cup!!



DH is into Pokémon Go too, so I imagine kiddo will be kept busy talking with his new friends

yeah he is going to be over the moon lol. Mommy will need a sippy cup
