what is the deal with the sleigh ride? we will be out there for HDDR our last night.No dessert parties for us this time, but we have MVMCP on 12/6 and unless I change my mind again, 5:00 CP on 12/7.
Our other extras are a sleigh ride at Fort Wilderness on 12/4 and the Marceline to Magic Kingdom Tour on 12/10.
I had gotten interested after I came across it somewhere on a holiday Disney guide of some sort, and read a few other good reviews, but this is the review that sold me:
I know we're not the only ones still hanging, but man, I wish they would announce our narrator already! It's our first time to see it, so I hope it's somebody neat!Looks like we are stalking you! We have MVMCP on the 6th and 5:00 CP on the 7th also
Amen!!!!
I will keep checking but not the end of the world if we don't get it. I would like to go though!
Yah that's what happened. She who hesit ates
hell yeah!
oh boy. Seriously wondering if I can squeeze it in after HDDR. Most places say HDDR lasts about 1:45 but if it starts at 6:15 it might make us a few minutes late. We have a 7DMT from 4:20-5:20 but even if we show up there right at 4:15 it might be a little tight to get there for 5:30, although it would be a sunset sleigh ride before dinner. Might be nice. What do you think of doing it at sunset? maybe the lights wouldn't be on yet. Asking over on the dining board if a 6:15 HDDR into 8pm sleigh ride would work. I wonder if the CM on the Play line would know, I can't be the first to ever ask. I guess I could make it 8:30 but that would be a long time to wait. we still need to get back to the room and pack. But I wonder if 5:30 is just too early to really see christmas decorations as that is when the sun sets.I had gotten interested after I came across it somewhere on a holiday Disney guide of some sort, and read a few other good reviews, but this is the review that sold me:

It's a little old (so I hope it's still accurate, minus the price bump. It's $79 now, for up to 4 adults or 2 adults and 3 kids.), but one of my hesitations was what if we book and nobody's decorated, so it calmed my nerves when I found out there's actually a competition for decorations at the campsites. Plus for us, we are having dinner that night with a local friend, so it was something special and festive we could all do together for a flat fee instead of per person.
Oh I'm actually stalking @areno79 , @Candycane83 and @SilSprBea various times throughout the Week.
........
I would say it's better to do it after your hddr so it's fully dark. They have times going all the way up to 9:30or 10 I think. Definitely some for 8:30.
I booked it a while back and cancelled when I booked the holiday dessert party.

I know we definitely overlap on Epcot day 12/7 ppo at akershus. I know @SilSprBea wpuld be at Garden Grill then and @Lisa F would be rope dropping at Epcot too! (see stalker... ) I'm looking forward to seeing those tags! 
We'll keep checking for u!Yup! We are not doing a lot of extras. Just emm which I'm shocked dh agreed to.

I still think there would be cancellations after reviews come out so watch out for availability on Nov 14 I guess.
Thanks! Seriously considering cancelling the dessert party... especially if I could get a spot not too long before...
It would just be so nice to get off the monorail say around 7:15, walk on to spaceship earth (it is probably walk on at that time anyway but insurance is good) then head over and do Soarin' and maybe living with the land depending on how early we get to Epcot and then head over to world showcase to stake out a good spot for illuminations and then walk home after that. Heck we could probably even walk clear to the international gateway bridge in that time and stake out a good spot so we are close to home. again lol. Of course I could just choose not to do it this time!
We don't have any, either. We did MNSSHP earlier this month, so that was it for us. We had a great view of the MNSSHP parade. We stood right next to the viewing area that the dessert party had, and got the same view as they had. We just didn't get any desserts.
he is right now running around the living room like a maniac, he is not sitting still for an hour.
lol we are at garden grill at 10am. is @SilSprBea a PPO ADR? maybe we will run into you on Soarin' in between our meals, lol.
haha I just worry about getting back to the hotel too late but it's our last night so whatever. not like I'm gonna sleep that well anyway lol. I guess as long as we are back before fireworks it is fine, even with the boat transfer an hour should be enough time. or if we are just landing at the poly at that time we can just hang at the boat dock for the fireworks and then go back to the room. I guess it's not a huge difference since we are planning to be up for the fireworks anyway. Not sure i'd be able to get it but i think I am going to call and try to book it.I would say it's better to do it after your hddr so it's fully dark.

Yes I have an 8am garden grill so we will be doing soarin right away with a child swap so hopefully will see you there!
You guys are killin' me! Or more specifically, killin' my wallet. After reading about the sleigh rides I decided that this would fit perfectly right after our 6:15 HDDR. This is our last full park day so I'm thinking it would make for a really great last night. Just called to book. Was hoping for an 8:30 time slot but that wasn't available. So I went with 9:00. I considered trying for an 8:00 ride but thought it might be too tight because CM said to be there 15 min. early. Well no 8pm available for my night either so 9pm it is!
