Okay thanks! Honestly I was a little skeptical, but WTH? Like you said you skip the standby line... We also have ADR's for DINNER!!!! For Dinner I would like to get the west wing. Do you have any idea how that works? No way to make a request in advance right?

We have never been for dinner but I have read that you get seated where they put you. Honestly, the west wing is our least favorite room...it is SO DARK...it is also noisy because that is where the doors to the kitchen are located, plus you have guests milling all around trying to get pics of the rose or watch the portrait change during the thunder (yes, we have been said guests

)

We much prefer the portrait gallery or the ballroom.

Looks like you have a perfect week planned. Good score on the Frozen events and the meet and greet!

Everything seems to be coming together for your trip,Frozen events and all the meet and greets. Great choices for food reservations. You seem to be scoring on every ones wishes. Have a wonderful time.

Thank you guys! Not much more I think we can squeeze in. Thankfully my DGF has been doing a lot of clothes shopping and we are starting to lay out our clothes for the trip already! Not sure what else we can add, but I really would like to squeeze in Ragland Road and Splitsville in this trip!!!

Looks like a great plan, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an invite for BOG fastpasses too! We are also booked in for dinner, I've eaten in both the west wing and the ballroom at lunch time. I actually preferred the ballroom as you have lots of people crowding your table in the west wing to get photos or just waiting on a table to open (obviously that wouldn't happen for dinner).

Great plans

Enjoy the prefeelings as much as we do

Hey,
I'm not sure why or how I was selected. I did take every possible opportunity to fill out every survey or phone survey that came my way. I don't know if that plays into getting selected for these things or not, but every little perk is well appreciated!! Good Luck! How much longer do you have to wait for your trip??

About 73 days! I can't fricken wait!

I know there is a link you can use too and insert your reservation number and that works for some people even if they didn't get an invite so fingers crossed!

More packing tonight! DGF went shopping for us today. I now have 8 outfits set aside n 2 extras!!

Last min ADR stressing has begun. We traded in our Sifi for a more realistic time but for 2 instead of 3 people thinking we could squeeze in DD with us. Now we are thinking that was not a good idea.

Both worth squeezing in. You wont need an ADR if you go for lunch either!

So glad you were able to get the Frozen Premium Package. Its well worth it! The Illuminations party is excellent as well.

Thanks Coach,
I think what happened is that when they extended the dates to September (weekends only) some people probably relinquished some reservations (although they are prepaid, not sure how that can happen) and I guess we scored....

If we go to Ragland Road, I'd be partial to getting a Ginuess, but I'll take the other end of that Smithwicks to toast ya!

Raglan Road is amazing! We have great memories of that place and my DD (then 3) dancing a jig to the live band. The food was also pretty amazing! Can't wait to hear what you think.

Hi Gang,
Not sure how she did it but my DGF managed to score Frozen Premium event tickets!!! I noticed one night (on the WDW magic home page) that the dates had been extended to september. I casually mentioned it to her one night and after I went to bed she went to the MDE site and called a CM. Amazingly they had an opening and we snatched it up!! I'm not sure what prompted her to call from the MDE site but we definitely scored!! And woke me up out of a deep sleep to let me know LOL

We made a bunch of changes to the agenda as well. I'll update in a bit!!!
RP

Don't know what made me call...but spur of the moment...I called...and lucked out with getting a cancelation. I feel soooooo lucky and so thrilled to be able to experience this event.... <3
