Yes, same, almost. Lol. I did buy ILL for RotR and RSR, but I was able to do so much without the Genie+ addon. Would have been nice for the pix, but we don't typically get in photopass lines.
You sound like me! I did that for my birthday once. Only issue was that I slightly over-imbibed at Trader Sam's just before catching my ride to the airport
. I underestimated the power of the tiki gods, but it was a quick flight home because I slept the whole way.
You know, it's annoying when there are places you really want to go to but can't snag a reservation, or, in your case, you miss the opening of dining reservations and suddenly they're gone. If you haven't already signed up, try one of the notification services or just keep checking. I used m....d..... to try for Trader Sam's, which I'd been unable to get on my own. After 5 misses (received a notification that there was an availability but I wasn't quick enough to grab it), I finally succeeded last night! Anyway, I hate this new dining reservation "system" which is atrocious.
I love your attitude!! It looks like you're a pro already so sorry if I came off as pushy on the dining stuff. I'm so excited about my upcoming trip. I'm going with my best friend since high school. We've never gone together and we're not exactly spring chickens, lol.It is frustrating... but it doesn't get us down because WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!
I have notifications set at m.....d..... but I have more that I'm open to than I had space for with the free account. I have my priorities set and just check the website repeatedly throughout the day. Our one thing we really wanted was a character breakfast. I'm still hoping for a Minnie and Friends cancelation but have a Storytellers book as a back up. Everything else is more "nice to have" if you know what I mean. Oh... and I know what you mean about the notifications... I've had two for Minnie's that I've clicked on immediately and wasn't fast enough! I don't mind the checking though as it gives me something to do with my excited energy!
We love the DTD restaurants too... every one of our mother daughter trips start the same way... buying a new lanyard and blind box pins in DTD and having dinner at Tortilla Jo's where we open our pins and set up our lanyard. That's when we know our trip has really begun!
I have to cancel a Mickey Storyteller's brunch and a Lamplight those dates. PM me if you want to try to co-ordinate. We are still going, but we need to shift our trip a bit, we will be there July 28-29, first DL trip for us!
Can I coordinate the Lamplight on July 29. How many people is this for?
Did you rope drop? How long before the park hours did you have to arrive?
Did you try any walk up table service restaurants? Oga’s was one we were hoping to get but we’re a party of 5. The wait time said 25 mins at 6 pm today.
We only did a walk up at Trader Sams which said 20 minutes but it took 40. They said the online walk up wait times were inaccurate. If you plan on doing that, I would get there early and at off times. Best of luck!
