They finally updated the calendar to schedule Wishes on our arrival day! But, now I have a conundrum. We have an Ohana reservation at 9:10. Wishes starts at 9, not 10 as I had anticipated based on the previous week. We also have a reservation for Lilos Playhouse from 7-9 so DH and I can go to Trader Sam's. Do I cancel Ohana and eat somewhere else at the Poly before the Lilos reservation? Do I arrive late to our Ohana reservation so that we can watch Wishes on the beach? I'm signing up for Disney Dining Buddy to try to move this earlier, but I need a backup plan. Also, will Lilos Playhouse allow me to pick up my daughter before the two hours are up, as long as I pay for the two hours?

Just booked air & all the WDW tickets/hotel this weekend & already made a change... we were originally going to stay at the Wilderness Lodge, but have changed over to the Contemporary! I am so excited. I have stayed at the Grand Floridian once, but otherwise we've been in moderates.

29th Anniversary trip!!! Our first Christmas trip... can't wait to see it all decked out!

CR (Magic Kingdom view)
12/14-18

So far we have a BOG breakfast before the park opens. I know we'll do HDD & the Christmas Party.

Just booked for Dec 4-8 at Poly. Wanted to do WL but was worried about the construction!

Whoops...it will be me, my mom and our youngest DS ...age 3. Giving him a solo trip. Trying to find meals, debating on MVMCP and if we just do AK and MK or add in HS!

Hi Fellow December Travelers - Sci Fi is doing a breakfast that will start in Nov.....it just opened up this morning! I was able to snag a pre-park opening ADR this morning. For those interested, go book now!!

 

[squeegee]

I snagged one for our DHS day, 8:00am, and dropped our dinner reservation there. Moved our H&V lunch just a little later in the day, and we're golden. am very excited to see what-all's involved in this breakfast.

It's the same menu as the SWW breakfast....minus the characters. Food was delicious. But the price tag is even heftier than BOG! Still....I booked it

We will be there 12/5-12/13 at AoA! So excited!!!

I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, so the absence of characters is something of a "plus" for me. LOL. We've got the disney junior characters at the H&V lunch later in the day for Little Monster to get her character fix. Am glad the food has some positive reviews, too, if it's the same as SWW

December trip back on! Nov 28-Dec 5 that is. Driving from CT on Black Friday morning will be me, DH, DS 6, DD 4 and DD 4 months!!! My parents will be flying down to join us. We are staying Pop. Not sure which day we will do the Christmas party yet. Planning 4 day base ticket and party tickets.

Congratulations! We will be there the same time, driving down from New Jersey. Staying off-property though as we are bringing my sister's dog. We plan on attending the party on Dec 3rd, just ordered our tickets yesterday!

I believe that will be our party day as wel!! Trying to decide on 4 or 5 days- I think 4 days and party will work. This gives us 1 regular MK day and one party day but I think you get in at 4 on party day? I'm leaving the last day as AK so kids can choose between more MK or getting to AK.

Party nights. So my husband and I are both going to get special magic bands when we get there but he was wondering about the special party magic bands. Can you get them anytime or are they only selling them during the party hours?

 

[dmc6469]

For all you ‘pros’, are we spending enough time at the MK on our trip? We are doing a full day on 12/7 and then the party the following night on 12/8. My sister is thinking that it won’t be enough time. It’s our 1st trip ever there yet we’ve been to Disneyland maybe 500+ times being from CA. Think it’s enough time? (no kids, just adults)

I think so. That is enough time to see the shows that are different than those at DL. As far as the ride, you can ride some that you miss the first day at the MVMCP the next night.

BTW, my wife and I also have tickets to the MVMCP the night of 12/8!!!

On a solo trip in September last year, I did one MNSSHP (and made sure to be in the park right at 4pm so I could get three FP+ between 4pm-7pm), then one full day in MK, open to close. I managed to get every single thing done that I wanted to do, at a relaxed pace. I think with just adults, you'll be fine.
