Planning on taking the family to Disney world in November. Aside from being insane for going that time of year, where do I start?

That actually sounds like a good time of year? Unless it’s literally over thanksgiving. If budget isn’t a huge issue personally I love staying directly on the monorail in the Polynesian or Grand Floridian. But those resorts are more money for sure.

I’ve always wanted to go in November, I’ve only been in April, May & June.

Booking a Disney hotel has its perks. Grand Floridian is on the monorail, and you can also take a boat or walk to magic kingdom. Room service is great at Grand Floridian compared to the value resorts as they just offer pizza.

Sometimes dining at the hotels is cheaper and much better than the park restaurants. Check out Disney Food Blog. Don’t plan everything but maybe keep a list of what places look good to eat and where. Unless you want character dining and be sure to book that ahead!

Download the apps on everyone’s phones and make profiles so you can see wait times etc. plan which parks which days. Different parks have different opening and closing hours. Also different character meet & greets at different parks so make sure you know everyone’s favourites and where to look for them!

If you need to be anywhere in a hurry book the Minnie van as the service has just come back recently. Drivers are wonderful and knowledgeable. Homecoming restaurant in Disney springs is amazing and we never would’ve went without the suggestion from our driver.

Have fun!

Polynesian is the best, best pool for kids and as others mentioned, on the monorail. If you’re at a network agency, you could get a discount too, I’d check before you book.

There are Facebook groups where moms have fanatically built out Disney itineraries and I’m not gonna lie, they are awesome.

Agree with above, except over thanksgiving, that’s a good time to go and it won’t be as hot as the summer.

Hire a Disney planner. We used Middle of the Magic travel. It’s no extra cost to you, they get paid by Disney and universal. They know all the tips and tricks

Tips from someone who live in Orlando:
- Just because it’s November don’t expect it to be cold. This is a swamp and while it gets cool, you’ll be outside in the sun. Bring a light jacket/hoodie but you be fine in shorts and comfortable shoes

- Everyone needs their own camelback filled with water. Water is expensive to buy in the parks, and you need more water than you think to stay hydrated. Also, yes you can bring a filled camelback into the park.

- Bring spray sunscreen and a hat. The sun is not your friend.

- Don’t try to do a rope drop to fire works and plan to have every second filled with activities especially if you have small kids. That’s a long day and it’s a guaranteed melt down…for everyone.

- The magic kingdom really needs two days to get through it. The park is huge.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
