According to the text on the website:

How to Book

Advance reservations are highly recommended, as availability is limited.
Reservations can be made on this page or with the My Disney Experience app up to 60 days prior to your visit. Same-day reservations and walk-ins can be made on a limited basis and are subject to availability.

Booked! Thanks for heads up

Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t know about this before but thinking I’d like to try & book it. We’ll be at CR, I know they share buses with WL & I *think* the campground. If the bus does go to the campground, anyone know if the barn is right there or walkable from the bus stop? Or would we still need an internal bus? Is a Minnie Van or ride share better than a bus from CR? Thanks for any info.

I was hoping it would be available for November 30, since the regular carriage rides aren't available either Nov. 29 or 30. Nope, not available either day. I guess they take those two days to convert the carriages to "sleighs".

Under normal circumstances CR doesn't share with FW, so that won't be an option for you.

Easiest route is the CR-WL-FW boat - will drop you off right there by Pioneer Hall and it's a rather short walk to the barn. The only other option that gets you to the barn is a Minnie Van.

Hope that helps!

Thanks as always @GADisneyDad14!

Reservations for the November 29 & 30 must already be booked up as my wife and I have a carriage ride reserved for the night of November 30. Keep checking as someone might cancel their reservation.

I will. Thank you. The 29th and 30th were grayed out when I looked. I thought that meant the carriage rides weren't happening those nights.

I was really looking forward to this experience, naturally, after weeks of checking and not even 24 hours after booking, I realized my plans are going to have to change! I have Wednesday, 12/4 at 6:30 booked but I need 12/3 if anyone can switch.

Double checking with you about the carriage ride. It's definitely at the Fort, and not Port Orleans? Other days have no availability, but aren't grayed out.

The ‘sleigh’ ride at FW starts Dec 1st. But carriage rides might run on different schedule.

Yes, I know. The carriage rides end in November until the holidays are over. When I saw that the carriage rides were grayed out for November 29 & 30, I had hoped it was because those dates would be included in the sleigh ride. They aren't. I don't know why those two days are grayed out for the carriage ride.
