Thank you, I was just about to post something about this and you beat me to it. we are going next November and planning it now.
just a couple more questions.

1. Is there somewhere I can find the prices for each restaurant?
2. If it's usually a character meal, will it still be a character meal? we are looking at Norway and usually it's dining w/ princesses, will it be that way as well?
3. Will Christmas decorations be up?
4. Are all the meals buffet style, or do you order at the table.
5. how hard is it to get into a meal?

thanks.
