Just to say hello and to share....

This is only my second ever thread on these boards, although I do lurk almost every day and read the fab trip reports etc.

We were last in WDW for Easter 2012. We booked our 2013 trip the day after we got home!!

This will be our 7th trip to the World. We are there from Oct 31st to Nov 15th, staying in Saratoga Springs, Contemporary Resort( Magic Kingdom view) and (whisper) Royal Pacific at Universal.

We is Mum - Kerry 38, Dad - James 40, DS - Oliver 10, DD - Madison 6.

Our dining reservations are:

Nov 1st - Dinner at Tony Town Square
Nov 2nd - Dinner at Via Napoli
Nov 3rd - Lunch at Tusker House
Nov 5th - Breakfast at Akershus
Nov 7th - Dinner at Cinderella Royal Table
Nov 8th - Dinner at Be Our Guset
Nov 9th - Breakfast at Chef Mickeys
Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern

We have got the free dining thing offered to us Brits. So we have 9 table service credits that we have booked as above.

We are also booked in for Halloween party on Nov 1st, Christmas party on Nov 8th and Perfect Princess party on Nov 7th.

We haven't told kids about holiday this time so have had to guess at what they would like from previous visits.

Agree with others..Tony's reviews are,how can I put it,not the best at WDW.However each to their own.When we stayed on I- Drive on our first visit,we loved Olive Garden,great value and never a bad meal..Maybe I'am too easy to please.

Looks great and have a magical time. The only thing I would change is go to Crystal Palace instead of Tony's if you can switch. The food is better at CP and the whole family will love Pooh and friends!!!!!!!!

I agree change to Crystal Place the interaction with the characters is priceless. So if you are like us, and are not great fans of the 100 Acres, don't let that put you off booking it is one of the best character meals you can do. Do you know about the preferred Illuminations and Wishes firework viewing areas that are available to UK visitors?

Yay!!!!

We will be there the same time (nov 1- 10) and we are going to the Halloween and Christmas party on those days too!

Also we are having dinner at BOG on the 8th for my husbands birthday!

Have an amazing trip. You will love the parties. I can't wait!

Yay the real mad hatter has posted on my thread. Cool. I love reading your stuff. Nothing wrong with Olive garden compared to some of the tat on offer in our area.

Jo - we do love crystal palace, so we are going to add it later in our trip. My DD in particular loves Pooh, and hubby loves Tigger.

No idea about the preferred viewing thing. How would we arrange it, especially for Illuminations. Wishes we intend to enjoy from our balcony at Contemporary at last! But would love to see it up close for photography purposes.

 

[ferbtones]

Hi Oswald. Great minds think alike. Hope you have a good time, I will listen for you singing Happy Birthday on the 8th and give you a wave!!

 

[coachwnh]

You are going to have a great time. I think it would be awesome to do both Halloween and Christmas in the same week at Disney. Its great that you have the timing right to do that. Doing the last MNSSHP and first MVMCP sounds fantastic! Enjoy your trip. Everything looks great

 

[SyracuseDisneyFan]

Enjoy.

Looks like you have some great plans ahead of you!!!! Have a fantastic time, and welcome to the boards!!

Curious as to what the Perfect Princess Party is????

Sounds like an awesome trip and I hope we get to read your trip report!

Hello coach, we never planned it that way, but when I realised it could be done i was thrilled.

Mad hatter, if that happened i would move to scotland!

Hello Jessica. The Perfect Princess Party is at the Grand Floridian at 10.30am. An adult and child get to meet Aurora and have a tea party. Then child gets a doll and bracelet and flower etc. Lasts until 12pm. Never done it but I though my DD would love it. It cost me $292 for the both of us, which is pricey, but its Disney so who cares.

We were going to do BBB for her but last year she got an older fairy godmother who didnt interact with her very well, and when we got home we noticed she had a bald patch on her scalp and short bits through her hair. So we figured once bitten....

Curious as to Ohana meals, as we have only ever done breakfast, but the poster with the two beautiful daughters, one who is kendal, said that dinner was nice there. How does that work then. Is it still served family style, and if so what food is served

Thanks everyone for your lovely replies.

Poster is HouCuseChickie, just checked.
