Early November Travelers! For those arriving Nov 1 ~ Nov. 17

[jenseib]

I have decided it was time to split the November travelers in half. The other thread is going to fast for many of us. many of the topics discussed don't pertain to those traveling earlier in the month.

The first page is a work in progress, so bear with me while I spend a few days adding things.

With this thread, I would love to share ideas and tips and park levels, etc. I do ask that we not post our itineraries here as well as lists of ADR's. Those get better feedback on a Pre Trip Report (PTR). I encourage everyone to start a PTR if they haven't already and to post the link here so we can following along with our fellow November travelers.
I will try to set up a FAQ post as well, and as questions come about, I'll update that post.

There is also a facebook page called November 2012 DIS'ers. This is a private group and you can search it and ask to join. .... or you may PM me and ask to be added. Please don't post "add me" here. We need your full facebook name to be able to add you and it may take a couple of days to actually get approved.


Thanks for joining and and lets have some fun!!!!!!

List of PTRs.

FAQ's

When can I make reservations? This link is a great calculator to help figuring out days till something. We have passed our 180 day mark, but some things can't be booked till 90 days or less. It's a great tool to help plan.

http://pscalculator.net/pscalc.php

Who can I get groceries deliverd from? many people suggest Garden Grocer. Hopefully we can get some who have used it to chime in and get more info. How to place an order http://www.gardengrocerblog.com/p/placing-order.html I believe you can also ask them to purchase beer and cigerettes as well. Just email them with any questions.

Transportation Help

Here is a great link to figure out travel routes and time to various places from various places on property. I do think the times are not always correct on here, but it does give you a bit of an idea and it really works great for finding your options.

http://www.ourlaughingplace.com/aspx/twiz.aspx

Traveling to Down Town Disney always seems to be slow...be sure to allow extra time for this destination. Buses seem to come less frequently. Also Buses do not go to or come from parks to DTD....you must make a switch at a resort first.

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

HI!!! Am I first!!!?

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

At this point we are switched over to the Wilderness Lodge, I don't know if I posted that on the other thread...

I'm actually going in early December, but have been watching the November thread for tips about traveling to Disney during the holidays. I like the idea of a slower moving thread. Thanks for starting it!
