OMG - Disney World Here I Come - Again

[disney4life2008]

I just found out my job is sending me to Orlando for a conference November 12 - 16, 2014. How on earth did this happen why I tried to maintain composure that they were sending me to Orlando (but Disneyworld at that), lol. And I can stay anywhere (with respectable limits of course) - so I checked the dates and everything on disney property is booked. So to the drawing boards I go. The official conference hotel is The Caribe Royale so I may just stay there. But who cares - I am going back to Disneyworld and I think the christmas decorations will be up!!!

Not to mention my job is sending me to LA next month and I may be going to to the Disneyland Halloween Party. This is just too much.

LOL that is almost a guarantee. All work and no play haha. If I can just get a few evening hours in at the MK I will be happy. I want to see the christmas lights and castle lights.

Does the company that you work for need new employees?

No fair. Is your company hiring???

Hope you can fit in enough Disney time to enjoy. My DS had a conference in Orlando, stayed at Swan but only got a couple of hours to play. His district Managers wanted to talk business at dinner and then the bar after hours so that cut into more Disney time. By the end of his conference days he had only gotten 5 hours in to play. The next year the conference was in Calif. so he was looking forward to DL. By the time the conference meetings let out the parks were closing up and it wasnt worth buying park tickets. He only saw DL from his window view.

Lucky!

I'm not sure what you're searching but I just found plenty of rooms after searching room only prices for the dates you have listed, I hope that helps.

EVERYTHING on all disney property is booked in November ??!!
help me figure this out, is this Jersey week?
if not, what's up with that?

Please help - everytime I put in November 12 - 16, 2014 (party of 1) it shows everything as unavailable for the dates and party size I selected. The ones that show availability are the very expensive hotels that is beyond the budget. I was looking more at the values and moderates - any availability at those? What am I doing wrong?

I want to see the christmas lights and castle lights.

I've got some photos of them somewhere from my last trip in 2009 - I'll dig them out for you then you don't need to bother going after a long day at work

I know - its once in a lifetime I never get these type of travel opportunities and no guarantee it will happen again. So I will enjoy it and be thankful.

IDK - I must be doing something wrong because when I look on the official site it shows nothing (excluding villas and premium rooms) - I really was interested in staying at the mods but there is nothing coming up. I think free dining promotion is during that time as well. As far as the dates - its only the 12-16th the week prior and after I think show rooms in all categories.

OMG I forgot about the lights at HS. I wish Epcot still did all the lights - I caught them once and miss them dearly.

I received the schedule today - my first day is conference registration and "disney day" hey it says it on the agenda, lol. The rest of my time im in meetings throughout the day and late evening. But as long as I catch Fantasmic!, Osborne, Castle Light Show - I will be happy. I have an AP so it will be pretty easy to get in and get out - but now I just remembered something - do I get free parking with an AP (I am not staying on property)?

Yes you do.

IT all depends on size and dates. Call them best bet. Worse comes to worse say your 2 people and check in yourself and play off that your wife is already shopping at DTD

If you go to an individual resort and search without a discount, it brings up availability. I saw standard rooms at Pop, ASMusic, CBR and both Port Orleans resorts for those dates that way =) If I go to the big page where it searches all the resorts at once, it finds no availability because it's searching with the fall discount.
