Thanks!

Thanks! I am leaning that way but it's a group decision. We didn't book any other character dining or I'd make the decision myself. I may see if I can add a character meals somewhere else and stick with Cali Grill. However, we are staying at the Wilderness Lodge and it would be nice to dine...

Thanks! I am still trying to decide and we are only 10 days from the start of our trip!

We will see the fireworks in the park our first night. My daughters always loved watching Wishes from the roof of the Contemporary and the food is right up their alley! We've eaten at Artists Point in the past - it's just the character experience that is luring us in this time. Our dining...

Thanks - we were able to get the free DDP so price in not as big an issue as getting he best experience for the girls.

Thanks!

I need some advice. We are taking a trip that includes our family and two of my daughters friends. We have always loved dinner at the California Grill and rooftop viewing of Wishes. This is our first visit since Wishes was replaced and was wondering if experience has changed? We haven't been...

If there were no closings, there should have been. I was at MK last night and had the extremely surreal experience of watching the much anticipated fireworks from a parking lot behind Main St. With views only to be found behind your average strip mall, we had the choice of seeing the top of the...

I couldn't agree more with your observations. We spent 10 days at the parks in November and I was shocked at the surly cast members. And the fast pass seemed to take some of the magic out of our trip. Too much scheduling. We left with the same thoughts. Fun but enough. We've always left...

Just caught up! Love this report. We were there until the 9th - doing the MK in the rain was a bit chilly but a real blast for my daughters who fell in love with the thrill rides this year. Hope you had a blast and were just to tired to finish the report! No way could I have the energy or...

Rereading my post I see where you may think I just tried to make the FP but I was up at 12:00 - at the dawning of 60th day before our trip hoping to get all our rides. As I said the system was down until 5 a.m. I know that because I stayed up (like a fool) trying the site every 10 to 15...

I must be missing something because I wanted to like the new system but it was just not pleasant or easy. I used the FP+ for the first time in preparation for our upcoming trip (11 days away!), and it may just be my own experience - but I did not find much flexibility in scheduling FP's. The...

Well, I am not an expert on this by any measure. I only found out about it when Disney sent me an invitation on Monday 10/8. It did not work at that time. No information as to when or how ofter to try booking was given so I made the mistake of calling WDW-Dine after my first few attempts...

Thank you Texas84! Thanks to your post I was able to book as well. I sent an email to Guest Services explaining my frustration regarding this process. I was not requesting a reservation as I am fine with a 'No" as long as the reason is given in a kind and intelligent response to my...

I see your point but I don't think it applies to this specific instance. This is my 5th or 6th trip so I know the drill. I comply and make my reservations early and suck it up if something I like is booked. I even haunt the WDW DINE number if my kids really want something that is unavailable...

It boggles the mind (well, my mind at least) that they invite guests to something that has no open reservations. Change the marketing materials at least to reflect the very limited spots available. Is that too much to ask? We've done the BOG ADR experience and wanted to see what lunch was like...

I called the Disney Dining this afternoon to express my frustration re getting an invitation but finding no times available the same day the invitation was received. (Staying 10/31 thru 11/9 but only 10/31-11/5 were offered.) I politely asked why they would send an advertise something that was...

It seems that even if you are staying on property and receive an email invitation you can still be shut out. I received my invitation yesterday and thought I had hit the jackpot - until I tried to actually make a FP reservation and no times were available - at all. Only the first six days of...

I suppose it must have been an odd combination of the lure of finding the best stand by times and not realizing how often I check our schedule when it's just folded in my pocket that made me feel so tied to the iphone on our last trip. It was constantly in my hand! I think I relied on my phone...

My question is, why does Disney want me hooked to my phone? While in WDW last year I felt far more tied to my phone than I do in real life. I got sucked into using the MDE ap instead of a simple list of reservation times jotted on a piece of paper. Not to mention using the ap to check ride...
