We'll be there with our two boys (7 and 3 yrs.)We can't wait to spend Christmas with Mickey and friends. My 7 yr. old son asks me about the trip everyday.

The one and only time I went to a meet, I was too shy to really talk to anyone. So, if you see me and I'm quiet, it's just cause I'm shy - not because I'm rude! :blush:

[LoriMistress]

Updated the front page.

[DisneyKim22]

Ooops...sorry. We're staying at the All Star Vacation Homes instead of onsite this year because of the number of family members going.

Aww...too bad! Maybe we could have ran into each other Caroleh!

It would of been SO much fun if we could. But if anyone that is going to MVMCP on the 4th. I'll be there with a t-shirt on that says, "today is my birthday and I refuse to grow up!!" It'll have Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle on it. So feel free to say hi!!!:thumbsup:

[LoriMistress]

When DH and I are on vacation we go all out. We want to eat at the best restaurants. We'll be there for ten days so we figure we might as well have a great time. We don't want to be one of typical tourist who tries to get into a restaurant and are rejected because the place is packed.

[SoaringEpcot]

We have a cast of 12 going and staying at two campsites in Fort Wilderness.

That would be us........your typical tourist.........that is why we actually made our 3 ADRs this year. After 3 visits to WDW (total 6 weeks) I have decided it is time that we try a few nice restaurants. We will be there for 16 nights and DH and DS weren't too keen on me booking the 3 ADRs - 4 if you include the candlelight processional dinner package. This will be our first character meal and I can't wait! Needless to say, we have not yet graduated to the dining plan. Maybe next time!

DH and I arn't really married to the Dining Plan too. Just because we don't want to be forsed to eat more than we want to. Last time DH and I were on a tight budget and could only eat at one nice sit down restaurant a day.

The only suggestion I would make is to change the time for an earlier lunch/dinner at Chef's de France, because you can official go into MK for MVMCP at 4pm. You'll be wasting a lot of time eating one park and getting to MK. It could take 2-3 hours.

Thanks, I had been wondering about that one. At the time I called, they said that was the earliest reservation they could get me at CdF so I took it. I'm going to try calling back again to get something earlier if I can, and if not at least we have something.

We are planning on spending a full day at MK the following day (we're rockin' the park hopper), and the BF and I will be doing MVMCP again on the 9th so I know we'll at least get plenty of MK time over the course of the vacation.

[LoriMistress]

I would contact 407-WDW-DINE on 7/2/07 because that's when they'll be releasing the CP Dining Packages, and they'll have more availbility. I woudl call exacty at 7am on 7/2/07 if you want to get a better seating.

[WonderlandsMostWanted]

Yep, that's the plan! I'm booking my CP ressies and I was going to check on CdF while I'm at it. I'm so excited! And, I am SO glad to have discovered intercot!! Everyone else is sick of me talking about Disney and our trip! :D

[LoriMistress]

It's sad. I have friends that ask me about Disney stuff and how to plan their vacation.

[Dznygrl79]

Okay so far I have the folowing ADR's

DEC 8 Coral Reef
DEC 9 Fantasmic pkg Holywood and Vine

Normally, DH and I are definately NOT morning people. But it it comes to going on vacation (expecially at DLR or WDW), we're just little kids again who have to explore and do everything. I have tons of energy. Even my friends who work out a lot more than myself cannot keep up with me when it comes to going to an amusement park or on a trip.

I use to travel from time to time to the east coast (NY, NJ, MA, etc.) so I can adjust to the time change easily...but when it comes to arriving back to California--it does take a few days for me to adjust.

[LoriMistress]

The pricing increase are for ADULTS ONLY!!! No word of price increase for children. I got this info. from another site...so I'm not sure how accurate this information is.

Rates are based on time the bill is printed (basically when you eat) not when the reservation is made.

[LoriMistress]

They will start the Christmas Parade Filming on December 1st at MK. They will start filming/setting up early in the morning, before park openings, so be aware of that.

Come on, people. Let's get this thread active. Why don't you all post if you're going to be bringing anything to decorate your room like putting up a Christmas Tree, stockings, Christmas window sticky decorations, Christmas lights, etc. to show that you're celebrating the holiday or just want to give a shout out to any other Intercot member that you're in The World.

[Donalds Duckie]

I won't be going to WDW in December after all. You can remove my name from your list:mickey:

[LoriMistress]

Ahh...maybe you can rechange your plans Donalds Duckie. It would be nice to have you along on the December crew!

[Donalds Duckie]

Boy, how I wish I could. I was really looking forward to a nice, long December trip to WDW. But, life has a way of changing things.

Y'all have fun and I'll live vicariously through your trip reports.:thumbsup:

[Fire314]

Will be putting up a small x-mas tree and the kids stockings in our hotel room. Also I made a mistake we are going to the MVMCP on Dec 20 so anyone that is also going on that date and would like to meet up please let me know and we can get together for the party.

I completely understand. There were times throughout the four years that DH and I were planing to go to WDW and/or DLR and had to cancel them. This year has be an intersting one, never the less--and the only thing we're looking forward to is our paid in advance trip to WDW in December. We still have some saving money we need to do (food and gifts), but we should be okay by December.

[diznedreamin]

We'll be at POP Dec.1-Dec.8!!! We'll also be going to MVMCP on Dec. 6 (just ordered my tickets today!):cloud9:

It's a trip of firsts! My DD's first trip, she'll be 20 months at time of travel,we'll also be celebrating DS's 8th B'day there, and it's also the first time we will see all the decorations!:santa3::tree:
I'm so excited!!!

[WonderlandsMostWanted]

We had to change our dates again. :blush: (You're starting to hate me a little, aren't you?) But hey, we're saving about $100 each on airfare for the change, so we decided to roll with it. :thumbsup:

New, OFFICIAL dates:
Dec 2 - 12 at POP.
MVMCP may change, but were's still debating, so I'll get back to ya.
CP is staying the same.
And, we might go see Cirque de Soliel!

But, we now have airfare, so our trip feels more real! I am so stoked!

Anyone there during the first week and a half of December who sees a 29 year old red headed girl bouncing around like a 6 year old with ADD and a sugar buzz, may as well just stop and say, "Hi, Ana"!!!:D

We will be there from Dec. 15 - 19th. We are staying at the Poly.Resort. We are attending the Candlelight Proc. on Monday the 17th. We are not planning on doing any room decorations, but I'm sure I'll be buying some type of Disney holiday hat to wear - in the spirit of the season - of course.

OK, new MVMCP dates Dec 2 and Dec 11.
Cirque plan: Dec 4, 9:00 show.

Photopass CD. Though they do charge for Photopass, I believe. I know at specialy events (MNSSHP, MVMCP, P&PP, etc.) the photopass is no longer free (they offer 50% off photos).

I'm excited, Lori, but right now I'm just majorly distracted!!!! I just finished inventory at my store, I have a seminar coming up in September for the store and need to make things for that, I have 6 Christmas stockings and a quilt to make and sell to a friend of mine and we're having our first home being built!!

Lori, I can't get excited, YET! I've been at Ft Wilderness for 3 weeks and after breakfast at the Poly in the morning we're going home.:crying:
We'll be back at the end of Oct for a long weekend.:mpumpkin: Already looking forward to that.

By the end of Nov. I will be beyond excited and most likely in full panic mode! The Christmas trip takes a lot of creative packing, like where to put all those decorations. :unsure: I think as the time gets closer everyone thats going will be jumping for joy!!!

Strangers are friends we haven't met yet,

*Effective July 1, 2007, Disney modified its Business Casual Dress Code at its premier restaurants to include t-shirts. The guidelines, which originally went into effect July 2005, still prohibit hats, swim suits, swim suit coveralls, tank tops, torn clothing or flip-flops.

The Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery is also closed during this refurb. On November 18, Tusker House will reopen as a table service location, with character meals at breakfast.

[LoriMistress]

Yak and Yeti Restaurant - Animal Kingdom - Scheduled to open October 9, 2007.

[gauvin4]

We will be staying at POP 12/19-12/27. MVMCP 12/21!! :mickey:Yay!!! I can't wait!!!!:mickey:

[dundeehunter]

My DD's (8 & 11), myself and my parents will be staying at CBR 125-12/11. Can't wait!!! I made my ADR's today...le cellier was booked solid my entire stay:mad: I will be calling for hopeful cancellations!!!

We are doing the MVMCP on Dec 9 and are going to try the Candlelight Processional on Dec 10.

[LoriMistress]

Recently read from another message board, this person received a letter from WDW informing them that the ENTIRE WDW Resorts all of the rooms are booked for 12/4 and 12/5!!!! Wow. Amazing. December is going to be so crowded! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank god I won't be at WDW during that time.

[LoriMistress]

Updated the front page.

[LoriMistress]

Walt Disney World ticket prices will be going up on August 8. If you were planning to buy tickets, now is the time! (WDW tickets can be purchased in advance, because unused tickets are valid forever.)

[LoriMistress]

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I'll post it again.

I wanted to show some people here the difference on how much money you can save if you put the time and effort.

For our trip from November 9th to 15th 2003 we bought our hotel/tickets/airfair through Expedia and spent $1,877.16 (7 PH Water Park & More tickets/ASMu). On top of that we paid $56 for Mears and hand $750 to our name (food/suvineers/etc.) So total on the trip was ($1933.16 if you don't include food/suvineers); $2683.16, which wasn't bad...for a first time.


This time around:

* Our airfair will be free since my parents are paying for our roundtrip flight for a Christmas present.
* Two Adults 10 Day PH Tickets for $529
* Four PI tickets total $68; Two DQ tickets total $58.
* 11 night stay at Pop Century $65.60 per night; total $811.80
* Cirque Du Soleil® La NouBa two adult tickets total $152.
* MVMCP (total four adult tickets) $170.20.
* Sunray Transporation (RT total including tax etc.) $82
Total costs (not including food and suvineers): $1871!!!!

If I didn't spend the extra money on PI, DQ, MVMCP, or Cirque Du Soleil tickets...I know I would be saving more money...but I wouldn't be having as much fun.

[LoriMistress]

In addition, holidays at Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a special sparkle this year as the park hosts the Harlem Gospel Choir Nov. 30-Dec. 25, 2007.

[LoriMistress]

Disney has released a Package offer for Disney Visa Holders. That usually means the public special is not far behind.

Travel Dates: sept. 30 to dec.23
Code ZQL package no dining
Code ZQM package with dining

Availability is very very very limited. The beginning of Dec, Thanksgiving and the end of Oct/beginning of Nov is extremely limited.

[ToDisney]

YES!! I can't wait ! We will be there Dec 10 - 14th. We will be at Port Orleans Riverside to celebrate my DH, DS, and DD's birthdays. Its my DD's 16th b-day and we are going on the DDP so its really special !!
:mickey:

[LoriMistress]

Updated the front page.

[grego77]

I am very excited to say that I will be doing a solo weekend trip Dec 7-10. I will be staying at Coronado Springs Resort. Can't wait! :D

I will be seeing Candlelight Processional Dec 7th with Phylicia Rashad at 5:00pm and going to MVMCP Sunday, Dec 9th. :mickey:

[Dznygrl79]

Wow I am so happy I used one of the public codes and saved about $400! However that means I am now staying at All Star Sports instead of POP. But it was worth having extra spending money and we actually have an extra day of park hoppers now!

oh boy I cant wait to go!:yay:

[LoriMistress]

Updated the front page.

[grego77]

that's awesome you saved so much money! I saved over $150.00 for Coronado...but in the end, I spent roughly $50 MORE than I planned on paying...$650ish for POP as opposed to $700 for Coronado :cloud9:...WELL worth the extra $50 IMHO! :cool:

Can't wait!!!! :mickey::number1:

[LoriMistress]

I feel like Eric Cartman when he's freaking out over the Nintendo Wii or when he's dying to eat at Casa Benita (sp?).

For me it's like, "Come on...come on! I want to be in WDW right now! Do you hear me God? Right now! Come on...it's not going fast enough!!!!"

:bang::angry::fit:

[diznedreamin]

Originally we had booked Pop for Dec.1-Dec.8, but now we are booked at CSR!

Debbie from MJ informed us that there was nothing available to us at a value during our stay, so she checked out the mods for us. We actually saved $33.88 by moving to CSR (once you figure in the price of the fridge at Pop for 7 nights!):blush:

I also went online and priced what CSR would have been for 7 nights/8 days park hopper, with MYW + dining = $2531.83, with the discount, we saved $362.32! I'll take it!:D

[LoriMistress]

Updated the front page. I have 111 more days to go. :mickey:

[Caroleh]

I really think I need some enthusiasm, I haven't really made any plans except for my ADR's and the night of MVMCP. I think the new house has majorly distracted me.

[diznedreamin]

LoriMistress,
I noticed that you updated the front page, however, I'm listed as staying at CBR, when I'm staying at Coronado Springs.

P.S. I did double check my original post to make sure that I did put the correct resort.

I'm sorry...:blush:

On another thread, I think you would like to check out.


Last year I went around to all the resorts and took pictures of their decorations. You can see them here:

Christmas @ WDW (http://jpag822.smugmug.com/gallery/2206127#116843451)


The gingerbread house has been mentioned as well as the carousel at the Beach Club. My other favorite was the village at the Yact Club. It was very detailed and my pictures don't do it justice at all.


Check out the link! Wonderful pictures! You will pine to be at WDW after checking these pictures out.

[grego77]

great pics, and brings back memories of me being at WDW for New Years last year seeing the Epcot arch and the CS holiday tree...I can't wait to see that CS tree again...then it will truly hit me that I'm at WDW during the holiday season...as I'm sure the weather will tell me otherwise (as I'm from snowy New England)!!!:mickey:

[Dznygrl79]

Okay I am officialy having a super freak out need to be in the world now moment!
I work for Starbucks at a local shopping mall, I was really excited because pumpkin spice is back and its my fav. fall flavour. That reminded me of my Disney trip last year in October so I started thinking about that...on break I walked across the mall to The Disney Store and decided that would be a quick fix. WRONG it made me want to go more than ever and NOW! I need to walk down main street and have a chocolate eared mickey marshmallow treat! I want to go and stand by the bronze chip and dale statues and watch all that is Disney. At this pace I'm never gonna survive til December!
I need a Disney intervention! What is the first thing you are going to do when you get to the world? What are you most looking forward to? Help!!!! 108 more days!:fit:

I'm right there with you, sister. I'm at 104--in a few hours 103, and I'm starting to get crazy. The Halloween decorations is coming out, and pretty soon with be the MNSSHP, so you know sooner or later it will be MVMCP. I listen to some podcasts about WDW and it helps fill in the Disney void. I would recommend either WDW Today or Inside the Magic.

[aprilisis]

I am right there with you, too!!! I have 94 days to go & I just can't wait. Saturday I am planning to go to the Rainforest Cafe here in MA just because I (sort of) relate it with Disney. It is just too far away!!! I will never go this long between vacations again.
LoriMistress, can you pm where I can find those podcasts??

[Grumpys Crew]

LoriMistress, forgive us for stumbling upon this thread sooooo late--We are attending the Candlelight Processional on Dec. 22, with the Le Celleur Dinner Package, For the 6:45 Show. We have attended this performance before, and would have really preferred to see Gary Sinese again, but his nights were booked up. We will be staying at WILDERNESS LODGE, one of my favorites, Arriving on or about December 17-24TH!!!!!! Can Hardly WAIT!!!!! Thanks

[LoriMistress]

[disneymom2000]

OK I took the time and read through all the posts. I read the updated frontpage. I signed up for the photopass because it looks like a really good deal and since I saved some money on my package thanks to good ole Visa. I can't believe with all the people on this Board that no one is staying at the Boardwalk Inn the same time as I am and only one person seeing the Candlelight Processional the same day as me. At least I'll be at the MVMCP on the 18th with several of my other intercottee's. That I am looking forward to. Come on you guys that don't have a resort yet - come stay at the Boardwalk Inn. :woohoo:

I am now in double digits with only 99 days to go. I even created a countdown chain in my office at work. The people there think I am such a goof. But you know who they go to when they need answers.:muscles::high5:

My DH is always trying to trick me into looking at photos of Disney at Christmas on the internet, but I am determined not to see anything before I see it in person - departing in 90 days 6 hours. Hopefully I will be able to view the Back Stage Pass still once we return from our trip.

That's too funny. My DH doesn't like any spoilers either. He doesn't want the magic to be ruined.

HEY!!

94 days to go!!
your killing me with those videos. They practically bring tears to my eyes!
But a question, Do you know if the Castle will have the christmas lights every night or just for the MVMCP?? We aren't going to make it to the Christmas Party, but I am dying to see the Castle looking like that!!!
OH, hurry December get here soon!!
:mickey:

[LoriMistress]

I thought the video said the Castle lights will only appear during MVMCP.

Oh my goodness! The castle is going to be so beautiful! I love the fact that you shouldn't be able to see the wires during the day since they are color coordinated to the castle! That's Disney...they think of everything!:magic:

I'm 84 days out...I need to start my packing list! What types of clothing do you take for December, a little of everything? I'll also be packing for my DH, DS (who's turning 8 while we are there), and DD (she'll be 20mos. at travel time). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[ToDisney]

I thought the video said the Castle lights will only appear during MVMCP.
The guy said "Every night" so I wondered if that could mean more than just the MVMCP.

I suggest clothing that can easily be layered. The temps are usually pretty mild, but can fluctuate (sp?) quite a bit between the morning, afternoon and evening. I like things like zip up sweatshirts a lot, as they can easily be added, removed, opened, etc.

Bring at least 2 pair of comfortable shoes for everyone and I usually bring extra socks. Between water rides and the occasional rain, I like to make sure I've got dry feet whenever possible.

Bring sunscreen, don't let the idea that it's "winter" throw you off. The pools are heated, so bring the swimsuits along, just don't expect to spend EVERY day in the pool, and if it were me, I'd prepare the kids ahead of time for the idea that they'll probably be able to use the pool a few times, but not every day.

I also try to remember to bring Aleve, Ibuprophen, Asprin, etc. It's pretty expensive if you need to buy it onsite, and if you've ever waited in line for IASW near a crying toddler for any length of time, you can appreciate the value Tylonol! :thumbsup:

No, the guy said only during MVMCP.

Yep, I've switched days. I'm now going on the 3rd to see Dennis Franz at 6:45 with dinner at the Coral Reef.

[LoriMistress]

I've decided we're only going to see one CP show. I think seeing it twice might not be the best idea.

[kelly.garrett]

We'll be there Dec. 10-14. MVMCP on the 11th. Can't wait! :santa3:

[LoriMistress]

As of today (9/18/07) you can now book your reservations for Sleigh Rides at the WL for 12/1 through 12/17!

I also booked my dining CP package for 6:45pm for 12/17!

75 more days!

Update for all!!! As of today (Sunday 9/23), on the Travel Channel from 2-8pm there will be a marathon of Disney. Granted, the majority of the shows/specials are older, but Travel Channel and Disney has been known to update the information on the video. They will be showing the details of some of the deluxe resorts, behind the scenes for WDW and DLR. There will also be behind the scenes at AK. And lots lots more!

As of today, if anyone wants to be added on the list, I will NOT be able to put in the request. I've already filled up the max amount of words on the first page, so unforuntately I cannot add any other users on the list. I tried making room, and though of changing information, but when the information wasn't on the front page, I got nothing but questions regarding the subject matter. Though, I'm sure closer to December, stuff will be changed with more new updated information. Also, there may be some people who may cancel/change their information before December arrives.

[LoriMistress]

74 more days! Come on people, where is your December spirit?!

Though, I should let you know that December Hours has changed again, per http://waltdisneyworld.com

[LoriMistress]

I've just added a surprise for my DH at the Coral Reef (personalized menu), and we're going to be booking the GF Photo Session. The Christmas decorations at the GF will be wonderful.:mickey:

From Scream Scape:

Park News - (9/25/07) Screamscape has been informed that the management at the Magic Kingdom has decided once again to not run the Christmas version of the Country Bear Jamboree for the second year in the row. The lower level management protested of course, reminding them of all the complaints they had last year when the Christmas show was given the budget ax, but apparently this was shrugged off because those were just ‘verbal complaints’. Apparently Disney management feels that verbal complaints hold less water since they carry no physical presence and are often made hastily, while anyone who sends in a written complain is taken more seriously since they have the paperwork to deal with as well as the fact that the guest took the extra time to actually write something and send it in.
Since this is the second year in a row that they have tried to skip out on the Christmas show, it pretty much leads one to conclude that they are ready to get rid of the show forever and may never bring it back if something isn’t done. So if you would like to see the Christmas version of the Country Bear Jamboree show brought back to the park then please send your written comments to:

Guest Communications
PO Box 10040
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

You can also send an e-mail complaint as well, but know that the snail-mail method is the one taken most seriously.

What's the GF photo session? 74 more days!:mickey:

The Grand Floridian is scheduling portrait times with families. A professional photographer (Photopass) takes you to several places in the GF for family photos. I've seen some that were posed and some that were not. The session lasts about 20 minutes. The sitting fee is $50. If you don't have a PP then it will cost around $150 bucks (at least to my understanding.) If you pre-ordered the PP CD, the sitting fee is waived and the photos are added to the CD. I've read that a $25 fee will soon be charged to folks with the CD. To order in advance you have to call 407-824-1700 at exactly 30 days before your arrival.

Can your husband train my boyfriend? :D

We just transfered the money from our savings accounts so we can officially pay off our reservations!!! Woo hoo, it's so real now, it feels so close!!
