F! Added

[Husker Mouse]

We were planning on going to DHS on Wednesday, November 16th-a nonF! day. Well, Disney just added it to our DHS day. I don't know what I should do since I have ADRS made for all of our days. Disney Dining said there isn't any availability for a F! dining package. I really didn't want to eat at any of those restaurants. I was planning on coming back to the park around 7 for OL. I figure it will be slammed with people exiting F! and heading back to see OL, too. Has anyone dealt with this while trying to see OL? We are eating at Cape May at 5. I thought we would be back DHS around 7. Should I cancel Cape May? Change my itinerary for the whole week.......:confused:

What is an "OL?"

[josh]

Oh, Osborne Lights. Tricky.

Is your itinerary laying around here somewhere?

As I posted to this forum earlier today... they added it to Wed but removed it from Thurs so that day should now be recommended for DHS.
Does that help at all?

[josh]

Yeah, there is a corresponding crowd calendar update with that. Maybe you can switch those two days around (Wednesday and Thursday?)

Okay after my initial panic attack:RpS_scared: I did just that-switched the days. I could switch all adrs so I feel better. I couldn't get R&C for a good time to eat and see Ill. I decided we would be better off going to DHS on a nonF! day and lose our R&C ressie for that same day. I am trying not to buy PH. Okay, now I can get back to cleaning:RpS_sad:

[ellie]

Yeah! Glad it wasn't too bad. It hasn't affected my schedule for that week except DHS may be busier now Friday than I had hoped... our up in the air day.

Shoot!!! I just looked again and DHS on Thursday are now only until 7! They must have a party that night. Once again, my itinerary doesn't work. If OL are running you won't be able to see them long since I would think they will rush us out for an early park closing:RpS_cursing: Back to the drawing board........

Private parties aren't much of a concern, even if there is one. Last year, the day with the Pop Warner Party had the second fewest people go through the tunstiles at the Studios of the entire month of December.

Oh, there was one day last year that they didn't turn on the lights - for a private viewing for touringplans.com/MEI travel of all things :RpS_laugh:

My assumption is that it would be okay, even if they get everyone out right at 7pm. There's also the rumor that the Lights won't even be up until after Thanksgiving, for that matter.

[Husker Mouse]

Yes I have heard that rumor:lalala:I keep thinking since they start staying open (DHS) until 8 during Nov. that they will turn them on. I am going with the assumption they will be on:pray2: If they close the park early should I assume they won't turn them on at all? I don't know why but this has been my hardest trip to plan.

[josh]

There was only one day they didn't turn them on last year and it was sometime in December I'm almost positive. 7pm is the standard closing time for most of the year when Fantasmic isn't scheduled even in June and July.

[Husker Mouse]

When will they post the OL calendar? That would just make my planning easier. I thought they usually have the OL schedule done by now.
