2010 Holiday Tour booked! Added: compilation of who's going when.

[Sherry E]

For me, the 3pm tour/5:30 parade just seemed to flow better......early morning packing in the rides, lunch, rest break, tour/parade, dinner, possible fireworks or Fantasmic (or more rides)! The noon tour/2:30 parade shifts the rest break to after 3pm, and does sort of mess up lunch. Also, snuggling up in our jackets with the hot chocolate and cookie as it's getting dark for the parade just sounded much more cozy.

Remember too that during the week there is only the 5:30 parade (so far as the calendar was showing last time I looked), so there isn't a noon tour option.

And yes, I will post about the experience as soon as I can. I'm not a picture taker though, so I have to rely on DH and MIL for that.

Is the 3 p.m. tour the last one for each day, or is there a later time slot? If that's the latest one, I would probably pick 3 p.m. too (if I ever do the tour) because it would be a nice opportunity to get on IASWH when the gorgeous lights go on at dusk. Without the tour to get me priority seating, I generally just ride IASWH in the daytime (early) and simply look at/admire it at night because the line is so hideously long in the evening. At least taking a late tour would work out, timing-wise, and I'd be able to sail past all the other people standing in line! So I would bet that's one reason why people book the 3 p.m. tour, if that's the last one of the day.

I do believe that's the last of the day, Sherry. The calendar into December as far as it goes is showing the last(or only) parade being at 5:30pm, so the tour would start at 3pm.

Thanks! Okay, so that must be part of the reason for doing the 3 p.m. tour - people want to catch a ride on IASWH when the lights have gone on. Otherwise, that is a hideous situation back there at night in front of IASWH! Yikes!! (Probably not so bad on weekdays but on weekends - yikes!). The mob of people can be impenetrable.

Kristen, can I correctly assume, for the sake of the list, that your tour time is 3pm?

I just booked mine for Monday the 6th of December

I had to call twice. The first time I called the CM told me they don't start taking bookings for that until the 1st of December As if!!!!!! That would mean the tour doesn't start until the 1st of Jan. Anyway, when I told her that the Holiday Tour runs in November and I know that people have already booked, she said she would go and find out - and then promptly hung up the phone on me

So I called back and got a CM with a brain who booked it for me no problems.

So we will be on the tour at 3pm on the 6th of Jan WOOHOO!!!!!!

We have, I believe, the first tour of the season: Friday, November 12 at noon. I know IASW will be much prettier for the 3pm tour, but our schedule works out better for the noon tour. I'm hoping it won't be very crowded!

Can't wait til Friday!

 

[Sally_fan]

And we are booked!! We are going to be on the 3:00 tour on Monday December 6th!! Soooooo exciting!!!!!

 

[NorCal Mom]

I'll add our names to the list!

We are booked for Saturday Nov 20th on the 3:00 pm tour.

It will be my husband and I and our 2 daughters ages 12 and 3. It's our 4th tour and it's become a tradition that we love! Although it did hurt me to pay for our 3 year old for the 1st time!

Hi NorCal Mom,

We are going on the same tour as you. This will be our 3rd year taking the tour. We love it! I also have a 12 year old daughter, and a 10 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. There will be 7 of us on the tour.
