I am very much looking forward to hearing all about your trip. Have a great time!

Sounds great. Hope you have an awesome time!

Thanks! I can't wait. I added the horse drawn carraige ride for $35 for my daughter's and I on Nov. 24th. I have been dreaming of this trip ever since I made the itenary. My husband thinks I am fanatical about it, but he says he is never been disappointed, and the kids keep asking me what is the schedule. Hmm, I think I am going to be dreaming about this trip every night until we get there. Can't wait to report. I got some ideas by looking at other people's plans so I don't leave any fun out.

We'll be there from Nov. 16th-25th also! I am looking forward to Thanksgiving Day (we'll be at Liberty Tree) and you're plans look great!

I can't wait to hear about the Pirate Adventure!

[nitaworm]

You are going then! I love going Thanksgiving as you get 2 holiday's in Disney for the price of 1. You get great Thanksgiving Dinners, and Christmas fun. I couldn't ask for more. We go back in March for my girls birthday's (we have to drive that time since I got the cruise we can't afford airfare next March - gotta pay of the CC as I didn't book this cruise in advance). Oh well. The kids are looking forward to the Pirate Adventure, and the Carriage ride was only $35 for 4 of us (hubby and my oldest son doesn't want to ride). Where do you eat when you go for Thanksgiving?

[nitaworm]

Is this your first time to Liberty Tree? I loved it when we went 2 years ago. It seems hard to book now. I may do it in March. I remember the food was great and so was the atmosphere. That will be a treat!

This is the first time we will be there for Thanksgiving Day so it's kinda new to me. We were there the day AFTER Thanksgiving last year and loved the weather and lower crowds that weekend after so decided to make Thanksgiving week our "real" WDW vacation time this year.

Anyway, on Thanksgiving Day we have a 12:20pm ADR for Thanksgiving lunch at Liberty Tree. Then an 8:00pm ADR at 1900 Park Faire for Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of eating. hehe, I can't wait!

Great. I like going Thanksgiving because where I live the kids report cards come out the week before Thanksgiving, so I get to take them out of school a week early with no real loss of schooling. It allows me to get cheaper rates on accomadations and cruises. We also try to stay a day or two the week after Thanksgiving because when you go to the parks you can walk on any ride. You will definately get hooked coming this time of year! Hope to see your trip report too!

Your plans sound fantastic! Can't wait to read your TR!
