LOL! I have been following this thread for awhile, but just realized I never added my dates to the list. Mark me down for arriving 12/28 and staying until 1/6. This will be our first trip over the holidays and first trip to WBC. We are so excited.
We are a larger group for this trip. Staying with me at Wyndham Bonnet Creek will be me, DH, DD9, DS6, DM, DF, DB, DSIL, DNiece 9 mo.. We will be in a 3 bedroom presidential. Other DB, DSIL, Dniece 3 and Dnephew 5 will be staying at CBR.
Must dos for this trip are:
Get to MK on 12/28 evening so that I can see the Castle lighting.
Go to DHS for NYE, see Osbourn Lights, Fantasmic (in all of the years that we have gone to WDW, I have never seen it), and Disney Jr Dance Party
Go to EP for Candlelight Processional.
Visit the resorts to see the Christmas decorations before they take them down.
See Yee Haw Bob at POR.
This is a trip packed with ADRs because we are traveling with my dad and he has to have a sit down meal everyday.
Here is what we have planned:
12/29 My dad and Dh are playing golf in the AM so my mom and I are taking DD and DS to Supercalifragilistic breakfast to celebrate belated bday for DD. (She decided that since her bday is in December that was close enough to celebrate at Disney
)
Dinner at T-rex with all 13 of us.
12/30 Go to Epcot. Candlelight Processional Package, dinner at Garden Grill (all 13 of us)
12/31 Go to DHS. Dinner at 50s PT (all 13 of us, but we assume that we will be split into smaller groups)
1/1 Go to MK. At mid-day, DH and I, DD9, DS, and DN 9 mo will return to the condo for a nap and rest the rest of the day. DF, DM, and the rest will go to HDDR for the 4 PM show. We went recently and thought it best to give our kids the nite off and offered to babysit the little one. This is the last day that DB, DSIL, DN5, DN3 will be there. They leave 1/2.
1/2 Go to DHS. Dinner at Boatwwright's for the remaining 9 of us and then see YeeHaw Bob.
1/3 Go to Epcot. Dinner at Le Cellier at 7:40 for 9 of us. (yes, I was just as shocked as you that I was able to get this reservation
)
1/4 Go to AK. Lunch at Yak & Yeti
1/5 Go to MK. Lunch at Crystal Palace (This one is especially for DSIL and Dniece 9 mo). Dinner at Plaza.
I am so excited that I am double digits already even if it does seem far away!
Since we are staying offsite I am not watching the discounts for January as closely, but I am crossing my fingers for all of you. I am also hoping for good weather. The last time we went in January was when DH and I got engaged and it was so cold all week that we were wearing gloves. ( I remember this because I had to keep taking them off to admire my ring
)
Only 95 days left for me!
), but we're on a budget and FD will mean the difference to allow us to save some money on food and spend that on souvenirs and a few select Table service locations (we'll be at Pop so its QSDP if FD is offered!)
