Every night. a few of us here will be there on Dec 3 I think I have seen someone say Dec 8, but not sure if it's this thread or the main thread for DHS...

It's new news that got buried by DHS fireworks


I guess that's why I had so many times to pick from

@Iowamomof4 your plans look great, filled with lots of wonderful things and great extras. They look like they are coming together very nicely.

It's going to be an awesome vacation!

We have a few similar park days!

Enjoy reading everyones advice on here, it has really helped me in my planning our first visit to WDW! Just a question. I received notification about a cancelled FP for 6pm for 7DMT on a party night that I have tickets for. Can anyone advise why this might have been cancelled. I have two others booked for other rides between 4-6 and they are still ok. When I try and book something else between 4-7 it has no availability for anything.

This is why I LOVE the Dis boards! I now have dessert party ressie for Dec. 8 for the new Holiday show at HS! I never would have known about it or known to CALL because it's not available online yet.
Thank you, Dissers!

I've read that the last fp for mvmcp is 5:30-6:30, anything after gets cancelled. I'm sorry your fp got cancelled.

I've heard that people were able to call and were given an anytime fp for 7dmt. Try calling tomorrow and just see what they say.

12/3 jbjb party sold out? Ah well. Temptation removed then.

 

[Candycane83]

Just checking park hours... Dec 9 and Dec 10, DHS hours is actually until 9pm (regular hours)... wonder why the fireworks is only for 6:45.... I wonder if they would add a second show.... contemplating of watching a second time if the show is good...

I can't believe how fast it sold out! Anyway, I think it just goes to show they need to finish DHS sooner rather than later.

I'm 30 chain links down! DH is currently working on our USF day. From what I know, we're starting in IoA and ending in USF. I'd like to catch the Macy's parade. He says he's enjoying putting our day together, so I'm letting him!

The only few things I know about the day, is that we're leaving at 8am, and we're eating dinner in City Walk. It'll be kind of strange to be kid free in a theme park, but I'll welcome it. I turn 30 in 2 years, and he wants to come back, just the two of us and do a two week mega theme park blow out trip. We'll see. It really depends on how many kids we have at that point!

I've just started looking at USF! It's not too hard to plan but there are certain things that put a kink to the plan like trying to maximize the nice quiet time in the morning for HP.

Such a great DH you have!

Our main focus are the thrill rides, because in Disney, our focus there are characters and tame rides. DH and I will try any coaster! We're definitely looking forward to riding the Hulk, Rip Ride Rocket, The Mummy, Dueling Dragons...and many many others.

It'll be cool to see the HP areas, but they aren't our main focus. We just want to maximize our time there. I definitely feel like next time it's a must to stay on property.

He is great! So selfless and wonderful. Works hard so we can take these amazing vacations. He's a keeper.

Definitely a keeper if he's willing to try any coaster! DH needs to be forced to ride with me at US! I rode Hulk alone twice last trip when it was only me and him! LOL!

I would recommend staying onsite JMHO, I think it makes it much more worth it than just one day. (got spoiled from our first trip) Im hoping it would be a relaxing first few days to ease us into the vacation mode since it's the first true family vacation we are having.

Edit: I know I'm riding RRR and hulk alone too this trip

Yes, our first trip we took as a couple was to Six Flags Magic Mountain, our freshman year of college for a long weekend. We spent every dime we had, but it was one of the best trips we've ever taken together. That place is a mecca for roller coaster junkies.

He wouldn't try RRR?

First family vacations are the best! So many memories! Remember to take lots of pictures!

Nope. Come to think of it, I rode dueling dragons alone too. Hahaha! But I have no problem riding alone. I'm the only one in my own family who rides too. I remember my dad being forced to ride with me when I was a kid

Yes! I definitely will take a ton of pictures! I got the memory maker already, got camera, phone and just got extra memory for my iphone too! Totally going overboard!

 

[areno79]

I'll be riding the coasters alone too, @Candycane83
DH will ride BTMRR and 7DMT, but that's it. I'm on my own for RnRC, EE, and any of the coasters I want to ride at US/IOA. The only good part is that I get to go in the single rider line; and he usually gets ice cream! LOL
