[drag n' fly]

We are flying down to Tampa to do Busch Gardens etc and then spending the 22-24 at our home resort AKV and doing a dcl cruise from the 24-28th Christmas on the Wonder!:yay:

[ktdaiwik]

Oh that sounds awesome,I would love to do a cruise sometime,maybe next year we might get to do one?I have a feeling going this time is going to make me want to go back alot more!

[PBX1]

We're going to be at CBR from Dec 13 to the 19th. :banana:

[chxray4]

Hi, we are going from Dec. 2 to 16. Seven of us all together. Can't wait!

[ktdaiwik]

Wow 7 sounds like it would be alot of fun to have that many people going!Where are you staying?Sounds like we are going to be down there for roughly the same time.:santa:

[iluvwesties]

I will be in the "World" November 29th to December 7th :banana:

Do I understand this correctly, you are flying from NZ?
If so, this will be a loooong flight for your family!!!

OT:
I flew to NZ Dec 29,2006 from Toronto - San Francisco - Auckland - Dunedin to join my cousin and family for New Years 2007 and loved the country :thumbsup2 It was beautiful.

It was just my daughter and I and we travelled from Dunedin to Te Anau, Milford Sound, Queenstown, Greymouth, Christchurch, Picton, Wellington, Rotarua and back up to Auckland, then flew to Fiji for a week before returning home via Los Angeles. What a trip :thumbsup2

Anyway, seems like there will be a few of us Dis'ers down in WDW in December, and I can't wait :banana:

Good luck with your planning :goodvibes

[DonnaBoo]

HI
We'll be in the world from Dec 29th to Dec 18th. I can hardly wait. :banana:

[Boomer1]

Booked for Dec. 13 - Jan. 1st at FW. Will be our 5th Christmas at WDW.

[Ian McFadden]

We are going on December 7 - 17, Yacht Club, and attending the MVMCP on the 11th. Can't wait, planning on booking our meals in advance this week.

[ktdaiwik]

Yup i have to book mine tomorrow,so we will see what happens.Since it is our first trip I have no idea what to expect to happen when I make that call!

[Teresa Pitman]

We will be there from the 3rd to the 12th, staying at a FW cabin. It's me, my son and his wife, and their three kids (my grandchildren). My daughter-in-law's sister and her family, who live in Trinidad, are meeting us there and will also be getting a cabin. They have two kids, so we'll have five adults and five kids. We're planning to do Hoop Dee Doo for the first time, and also the Grand Gathering Safari in AK.

[ktdaiwik]

Wow teresa it sounds like you are going to be in for alot of family fun!!!How neat to be able to go with a big group like that!

[Teresa Pitman]

I think it will be a good-sized group - but when I celebrated my 50th birthday in WDW a couple of years ago, we had a group of 52!! Well, people came and went at different times, but we had 52 at my big birthday breakfast at Boma. That trip was SO much fun!

And I should also mention - I'm going to New Zealand at the end of September and early October. I'm speaking at a conference there, so I'm taking a little extra time so I can check out some of the countryside. Auckland, Rotorua, Coramundel (I think I spelled that wrong) and the Bay of Plenty is what we're planning. (My youngest son is coming with me.)

Teresa

[ktdaiwik]

Oh teresa you are going to have so much fun!New zealand is a little version of Canada!I am so glad to see you are going to get to see some of my favourite places.Are you going to be driving yourselves or using a tour company?

[Teresa Pitman]

Our plan is to rent a car and drive ourselves. I did see a website with a company that offered self-driving tours, so we might try that. I already have batches of brochures and info from various places.

I just wish it wasn't such a long flight! That's the part I'm not looking forward to.

Teresa

[ktdaiwik]

It is a long flight but so worth it.We flew to Australia when our son was 10 months old,flying home he had a double ear infection and did so well!I am glad you have been getting lots of info,hopefully now you will be able to understand the accents!lol I get told we talk fast, but I don't see that??!!lol I do not even think we have accents?!

[tgropp]

We will be at WDW from Dec 14 - 21. MVMCP will be on the 16'th and plan to play a round of golf also. We are staying at the VWL.

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

My family and I will be at WDW from December 13-23 and will be staying at the Contemporary. After that we are going to Clearwater Beach until New Years Day.

[mollyseven]

Hey there.
We are also booked to go to Coronado Springs Dec.22nd -30th. It's 10 of us again, just like March Break...can't wait. We picked CSR this time, we've done CBR and POR so I hope this is a good choice.
Christmas at the world, first time.
AND....I had planned on flying Jetblue from Buffalo but then wham!! Airtran had 99.00 seats so that's who I booked!! wow.....under a thousand for 4 at christmas!!!! win win

[mrs.explorer1977]

We're down there the 6th to the 14th. My parents are also coming, so there will be 4 adults and our little guy -- it'll be his 3rd trip already!

We're doing MVMCP on the 9th as well...

And, we're staying at AKV, SSR and BW -- right now, we switch rooms 4 times!! :( We're hoping a waitlist comes through!

[BKMETV]

We are at AKL Dec 7 - 9th then Poly from 10 - 15th. We'll be at the MCMVP on Dec 11th.

[chxray4]

We are staying at the Pop Century. It will be the first time there for my sister and her family.

[joech]

It will be our first trip home at AKV from Dec 27 to Jan 5.

[SaskDisNut]

We are going to WDW Dec. 4 - 14 and staying at Pop and CSR. And now that December's park hours have been posted, the planning can really get into high gear. We plan on going to MVMCP either the 9th or 11th.

We've had our flights and hotels booked since Feb. but the kids don't know anything about the trip yet. With only 6 months to go before we leave, it is getting harder to keep the secret. I think we'll tell them pretty soon - maybe even this week. I can start making our ADR's this Saturday so I want some input from them as to where they'd like to eat.

[Charleyann]

Cruise first from Nov 28th- Dec 5th and Then Disney from Dec 5th- 18th onsite and then offsite from Dec 18th- Dec 29th!

Can't wait!

Charleyann

[ktdaiwik]

[Reese]

This will be our first time to see the Christmas decorations:woohoo: . We have a group of 16 of staying at Pop Dec 9th to the 18th:banana:. I'm just trying to plan out are ADR's right now.
