Maybe they aren't letting the cast members know until the 12th about the changes.

It's too secret, i'd say.

It would be great to know how many people get reservations for those times and how many are going. For instance, if you are just going to Spirit of Aloha because it is a group activity and now one else signs up.....

Disney is accepting Hoop-dee-doo ADR's for 10/12-12/12 now.

Just made mine for 10/8 at 6:15 calling Disney Dining 1-407-939-3463. Lordy, planning Disney for a week with 2 small children has turned into more work than anything I every dreamed. Grand Canyon and Zion National Park 2013 should be nothing compared to this.

Factoid: If this link works it gives you the parade times. If the link doesn't work, google Disney World 2012 Parade times. November 2012 - Walt Disney World Parades and Fireworks Times

It is almost a job into itself. It isn't exactly easy but it could be worse. You could be trying to get into Cinderella's Royal Table.....

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party | Walt Disney World Resort

The first night of Mickey's very merry Christmas party is 11/9/2012. Can anyone tell me if it is worth taking the little darlings back into the park that night?

Oh, Nicki, I listened to you and booked that right away. We are there at 5:30 on Wednesday! Happy Birthday Grandpa

Does anyone know when the "Be Our Guest" restaurant may be open? I have heard reports of "late 2012" but haven't been able to make reservations. I keep checking for construction updates. It looks like it is going to be a very unique experience.

The last I had read they had not released an exact date, just around the holiday season.....If anyone hears something please let us know.

Be the first to post the news. Sounds entertaining.

[rebelstand]

Some recent events have reminded me of some things to remember when making your reservations-

Make sure you let the Disney Reservations people know if you are traveling with pets. they have special loops for pet owners and charge $5 a day extra per site.
The pet loops closest to the Dog Park are 300(preferred pet) and 500(premium pet).

Does anyone have any questions or concerns? Need help? Like to add an event to the schedule?

Hi All Rally Attendees,

We have four months left till the Fort Wilderness Rally.

You can start making your Advanced Dining Reservations at anytime. Although availability may already be an issue for some of the Character Meals and Dining Shows.

All reservations for campground fees/sites must be made by Sept 4, 2012. At this point we will offer up the remaining spots to anyone who might be on the waiting list. As of now, we have between 25-30 reservation made through Disney. If you have not called Disney yet and need the information again, please let me know.

As of Sept 30, 2012 we will be releasing any unreserved sites back to Disney's general pool. At this point, if we do not have 15 campsites paid in full (not talking about tickets or dining plans just the campsites) we will be canceling the group contract as we, Shawn & Nicki, are financially responsible if the group falls below the minimum required sites. We will NOT be canceling the Rally, just the group contract which will cause the rates to go back to being un-discounted.

After October 5, 2012, the financial responsibility/penalty of canceling a reservation falls onto those who have made reservations.

If you have RSVP'd for a spot and your circumstances have changed please let me know so I can change the RSVP status and take your email off the notifications list. If your name is on the list and I should have removed it already... please let me know and accept my apologies.

Sincerely,
Nicki


PS. As per the usual procedure, a copy of this email will be posted on the rally thread.

I will also be moving this to the first post of the thread for ease of locating it.

I read an article that said they will start taking reservation for it in August but I didn't see an opening date....

[H2K]

We've made all our dining reservations and have no dinner times open. We wil probably try getting in BOG (did Disney think about this?) for lunch. I will check the website for the first date to be able to make ADR's and post it here.

Can't wait until November.
