So excited to see all your plans. sounds like renting dvc points saved you quite a bit of cash. All the more to enjoy spending in the parks
What a great way to spend a big birthday!!! So excited for you. your excitement gets me excited! following....
I am enjoying reading about your plans. I am excited to see how it turns out! For our November trip, there are hardly any restaurants available for the days we are there. Why is that? Will the parks be super crowded, or are the dining rooms just that limited for capacity? We really want to try Sci-Fi Diner at HS, but I can't find a single opening, even when I change the size of our group from 8 to 6 to 4 to 2.

I'm a 1970 baby also! One of the last to turn ... end of November is my 5-0. We had Tokyo Disneyland trip set up for Nov 4-15, our 15th anniversary is Oct 1 - so we thought we'd combine them into a fabulous trip. We are in the process of cancelling everything.
But, we booked flights to WDW instead Nov 7-14! We haven't booked room/tix yet, but are going to finalize a package tomorrow. Hubby said same thing - if 5 days is only $30/more per person, why just get 4? YAY!!
I haven't been since 1995, and kids & hubby have never been to FL. It'll be an adventure! We're DLR regulars, and I'm kind of excited to hit WDW WITHOUT any planning! We'll skip ADRs, we really don't do sit downs in parks anymore - kids always feel like they are missing out on rides, and given the shorter hours, I don't blame them! And, apparently hubby gave green light for 5 days, so we just have to pick our 2-day park!!
Oh, and I drive a Sequoia too On my 2nd one!!! We refer to it as the "tank" too!!! "honey, are we taking the Lexus, or the Tank?"
We will be there the 10th through the 18th, but our HS Day is on the 11th. If we don't snag a RotR boarding group, my son will be really disappointed.Well it's not quite the trip we had planned originally...since that one was a cruise to Italy and Greece and some other European destinations...back in June...and of course that didn't happen. Still he seems excited about this after enjoying our last trip so much. Thanks for following!
Thanks! Wow...that is pretty odd? What are your dates? We are there the first week in November. I was checking last night at other possible ADRs and there were quite a few for us for a party of five...but I think I only changed one and that was Narcoossee's. I do expect the parks to be more crowded than they were for us back in August, but hopefully not "Thanksgiving Week" crowded as we've been there done that plenty of times.

Hi!! Glad I found your PTR!! We were supposed to be flying to Rome on the 31st of October but instead we are going to WDW. Hoping we can get to Italy in 2021. The Italy pavilion will be a little more special this year. Enjoy planning and your trip!
Regarding 7 people at a meal - it was inconsistantfor us. One place at DS said they wouldn't seat more then 6 people. Another place said they would. We only have one park day that a 7th might join us (EPCOT day) and we were able to make reservations at Biergarten for 7 people. I don't what the difference is.
Hi Dina!So for now I have it for 6 people...wonder what they will do if all 7 of us show up for that one?
Hi Dina!
We were able to add one to our Beaches and Cream upon arrival and it was no problem.
We felt the parks were a lot more crowded.
We also had some CM issues with them being less than magical.
Sigh.
It was still a wonderful trip and can't wait to go back!!!
Yes all of this! I feel confident there will be slightly extended hours on the weekend like Fri and Sat for all parks. I'm wondering if dining will open a little more as part of that. I do like planning also...but this is a bit frustrating with the limited dining options at least.I totally agree on how hard it is to plan right now (I've got a trip in mid October). We can't be sure about the hours, the restaurants that will be open, how long waits will be, etc. I'm trying to simply relax and go unplanned, but I like planning! It's going to be a weird trip.
