Hi Guys!
So we have been in the Fall a couple of times and have thoroughly enjoyed the decorations, weather, MNSSHP and the reasonably low crowd levels.
I would love, love, love to go to Disney when the Christmas lights and decorations are up. We are considering going either the 1st or 2nd week of December this year. There is me, DH, DS12, DS5 and DS3. We will drive down from Kentucky and we are slightly considering a split stay between WDW and Universal (but, we are leaning in spending the whole week at Disney). I am looking at a room at POR in Alligator Bayou with the Trundle bed, this would be the first time we would get to stay at a moderate so that's pretty exciting. Thinking about MVMCP, specials/discounts, weather, crowds and overall Christmas decorations.
What I would like some input/advice on:
1. MVMCP-I'm sure it's a lot of fun, please provide some details.
2. Weather-This probably varies, but just a general idea, is it still warm enough to swim?
3. Discounts-I have read that Disney is planning on scaling back on discounts/specials the back half of the year-does anyone know though historically what the discounts were? Free Dining, Room Discounts, Extras?
4. POR-I have read many great reviews of the Resort and it seems to be a favorite of many, I hope it will soon be a favorite of ours-any tips?
5. Decorations-Are all the Parks and Resorts decorated all the time? For Halloween, MK has some Fall decorations, but they really put out all the stops for MNSSHP that you wouldn't see during the day.
6. Dining-Are there any special dining things going on at Christmas? Characters in special costumes, special dishes only served at Christmas, special items in the bakery?
7. Any other special things I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for all your help, I can't wait for your replies!:mickey:
