Yay!  I'm going back this fall, too.  I'll just miss you by a couple of weeks.   (I always go right around the 2nd week of November - sometimes I catch the last few days of the Food & Wine Festival, but, alas, not this year).

Think I've only been to the Food and Wine Festival once before. Am looking forward to see what it is like this year. At least in November the weather is a bit cooler. Have a wonderful time on your trip

HarmonicSonic In reply to WDWParksGal [2014-09-19 20:38:50 +0000 UTC]

If I understand the schedule right, you'll actually be there for Food and Wine this year - it overlaps with the Not-so-Scary Halloween party (it started in September and ends only a couple days before I get there this year).

And I like going in November because it's more temperate, but also because it's less crowded, and I can usually get a free quick-service dining plan at that time.   That free quick-service is what makes the trip a bit more affordable for me, most of the time.

WDWParksGal In reply to HarmonicSonic [2014-09-21 22:58:34 +0000 UTC]

November is a much nicer time of the year in Florida. Went at Thanksgiving one year and the temps were quite comfortable.

I do believe we'll catch the Food and Wine festival. I have a lot of food allergies, so I'm not sure how much I can try but will enjoy taking a look!

We got a quick-service dining plan with our package then upgraded it to the dining plan for not much more money. It is so  helpful to have an all-exclusive trip. Even have Halloween Party tickets, fast passes and dinner reservations attached to the wrist bands

HarmonicSonic In reply to WDWParksGal [2014-09-22 14:36:29 +0000 UTC]

The one bad thing about November in Florida is that it can be unpredictable.  In summer, you can always count on it to be hot.  But when we've gone in November (for the last 2 years now, going on 3 this time), there are days when the temperature gets into the high 80s and 90s, but then there are some days when it doesn't get out of the 50s.  Last year, we had a day where it was 40s and windy.  I've learned that in fall/winter, you've got to bring a hoodie, even if it is Florida.

I never get to try a lot during the Food and Wine festival, though in my case it's money that is the factor.  Last year was a little bit better because they've changed it to where some of the festival items can be bought on the dining plan, but there's still definitely a limitation there.  It's still fun, though.  I got to try Ouzo for the first time there, and there were other good dishes I never would have been able to try otherwise.  Even if you don't get anything, it's fun to walk through the World Showcase and get to smell all the different foods.

I thought about upgrading to the standard dining for us, but I worry that not everyone in the party will use all the meals, and it'll be wasted.  I'm not as worried about that with Quick Service (since we got it for free, and we wouldn't be out of any money if meals go unused).  But I'd love to try doing standard dining one time.  I know that usually, if they're offering free quick service and you want to upgrade to standard, all you pay is the difference in price.  I've already got a Fastpass for the Seven Dwarfs ride, but when I go in November, I actually don't use the Fastpasses very much (surprisingly, I find that I really don't need them most of the time - the crowds are pretty light then).

WDWParksGal In reply to HarmonicSonic [2014-09-22 18:22:42 +0000 UTC]

Hopefully the crowds will be light when we're there. Tina and I got Fast Passes 28-days out not realizing we could get them 60-days out and did not get a Seven Dwarfs ride, so we'll have to wait in line. Being a new ride it will probably always have a line. If we can get there at park opening we'll have a better chance of having a short line.

Last year with the dining plan, we had a few quick service meals left and since we were driving home (fly down then hubby drove down a few days later), we got three to-go meals that came with gluten-free cookies and water bottles. They were great to have on the way home.

Maybe there will be something I can get at Food and Wine with a snack credit. You're right, the smell alone around World Showcase if worth it!

December at WDW is the same way... one day it can be blistering then the next cold. Tina and I always take our OSU hoodies just in case. A lot of people don't realize that it can get cold in Florida. It is a wet cold versus the dry cold of Ohio, so it chills to the bone!

My concern is the love-bugs, since they are usually out in September and just nasty. Still, I'll put up with the bugs and the otherwise mutant-life forms in Florida to go to WDW

HarmonicSonic In reply to WDWParksGal [2014-09-23 02:59:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh, the FastPasses for the Seven Dwarfs ride are going really fast.  I went to get them 60 days out, and even then, they were already all gone for every day except the last, and that in the afternoon.  There's going to be some ridiculous lines there, but I guess that's par for the course.  I remember when I went last year, Test Track had just re-opened, and the lines were pretty crazy.  I discovered that the trick is to find out when the park has extra hours in the morning, and just go straight to the ride on that day as soon as the park's open to resort guests.

Incidentally, I found a sort of "line hack" for Test Track.  You know how there's the really long group line and the shorter "single rider" line?  I think people don't want to ride the single rider line sometimes because they don't have those stations for customizing the vehicle.  But there's a way around that.  If you go into the exit area (it's a shop, so there's no rule against it) you'll find one of those customization stations there.  You can completely customize your vehicle there, load it onto the Magic Band, and then go into the single rider line, and poof!  You have your completely customized vehicle, and you still can use the short line.

My dilemma about the Quick Service plan is that there are some Dine-In places I always want to go to (namely the Rainforest Café in Animal Kingdom and T-Rex in Downtown Disney), so that's a meal I pay for and an unused meal on the plan.  And the quick service portions are really large, so some days I don't even use two meals (because I'm not hungry enough to need them).

I really haven't noticed any bad bugs in November (and I'm pretty bug-ophobic, so I'd notice if they were there), so at the time you're going this year, you might dodge that bullet.

I think about getting together with you all the time. Would like to get out to California but not sure if I ever will. I'm hoping to do okay at WDW this year. I would love it if you could go to WDW some time. The resorts are fabulous and some are really affordable. Have you not being going to Disneyland?

I haven't been to DL since 2011 and after the latest changes and prices hikes, I would only set foot in California Adventure on my own. I want to remember Disneyland the way it used to be. Sounds silly and petty but I have been going since I was in the womb. I remember when the corporate wasn't strangling the magic. They recently made some changes to my favorite land, New Orleans Square, that are awful looking and total money-grubby

I really like WDW in the fall, since the weather is just a bit cooler. Tina and I are going to one of Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween parties, which are always fun, and we have fast passes lined up and all our sit-down reservations ~ already have our bracelets, too. Am excited!!

Mine, too, thus my screen name

There was a five-year gap when we didn't go due to lack of funds and health issues. I'm still not up-to-snuff and must use a wheelchair due to mobility issues, but that doesn't stop me and my daughter doesn't mind pushing me, as long as there aren't too many hills!!!!

Yes, that was the first thing I noticed about your username Yeah it's a shame it is so, so expensive now. One-day passes are about $100 now right?? Makes it very difficult for most people to go and bring a whole family.

That's good that you can still go though, mobility issues and all! Thankfully it's a fairly accessible place to get around.

WDWParksGal In reply to JenFruzz [2014-09-16 19:15:09 +0000 UTC]

People have to buy packages to be able to afford a trip these days due to the cost of a one-day pass. Staying in a Disney Resort and getting the Dining plan free, along with purchasing a multi-day park pass makes the trip easier to handle and more affordable. Tina and I use a travel agent that does nothing but Disney-related trips then we get our own airline tickets. For us, it is the only way to travel to WDW!
