Good Morning! I have to admit, I am dragging today because I stayed up late to watch the series finale of LOST last night. I liked it and I didn't. I wasn't too fond of the ending but leading up to that did have its high points. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a LOST attraction at The Magic Kingdom in Adventureland? Or maybe in at the Disney Hollywood Studios they could have the set pieces of the plane wreckage? That would be something I and other LOST fans I'm sure would love to see!
And now back to my travel info for Walt Disney World... :)
Have you noticed on the calendar to the right of this blog that we are fast approaching the 180 day mark to book dining reservations for Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving this year is November 25, 2010 and believe it or not...on the 180th day out (which this year will be Saturday, May 29th) the phone lines will be packed for the dining line and I'm sure the internet will be spinning and spinning on the reservation page with the amount of people trying to book. It's gonna be busy.
Don't think this is necessarily because of the people who are going to be vacationing at the resort, but more so the Orlando residents who have made it their "Thanksgiving Tradition" to dine at Walt Disney World and play in the parks that day. They wait all year for the day the dining reservations are available and know to jump on them at 7:00 am when the phone lines open.
Most every restaurant on property will be serving some type of traditional Thanksgiving day fare, or serving a Thanksgiving feast with the restaurants "flair" to it. So you can definitely find turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. that day. But these of course are the restaurants that will book up first, and I can almost guarantee that the very popular ones probably won't be taking walk up that day or you may have to wait an hour or more. In the past few year, they have even been opening restaurants like Chef Mickeys for lunch that are normally not open during that dining period to accommodate as many people as possible.
So here is my advice to all of you who are planning to visit during that week and don't know where you'd like to eat or what you plan on doing. Book something. You can always cancel it or TRY and change it. It's not a good idea to wait on this one. Restaurants will be booked up for Thanksgiving day on May 29th. I don't mean to scare you or freak you out...but it's the reality. It's better to have something and try and change it if you change your mind and then cancel rather than wait and not be able to get anything at all. I know this message isn't going to reach everyone who isn't aware of the situation for Thanksgiving day, but if I can get it out to as many people who may be going as I can....it's all I can do. Don't wait!
