1) Does anyone know how the crowds will be at this time? I have been during Halloween and various times in July and August but never for the Christmas Holiday.

2) Also, what does everyone think of my proposed itinerary. Also, I will be proposing at some point in this trip, I just haven't decided when, although I am leaning towards popping the question when we arrive at the hotel

- Saturday 15th - arrival then MGM Studios
- Sunday 16th - Epcot, Candlelight Processional Dinner Package at Le Cellier
- Monday 17th - resort hopping, carriage ride, boardwalk @ night
- Tuesday 18th - Magic Kingdom, ADR at Liberty Tree Tavern, and MVMCP @ night
- Wednesday 19th - Animal Kingdom, ADR @ Jiko
- Thursday 20th - Blizzard Beach, ADR @ Fulton's Crab House, Downtown Disney @ night
- Friday 21th - ADR @ Boma for breakfast, revisit parks
- Saturday 22th - revisit parks, Fantasmic Dinner Package @ Mama Melrose's

Don't forget the Osbourne Lights at MGM! Don't know if this was factored into the arrival on the 15th or not. I think a proposal on the first night there at the MGM in the midst of all those spectacular Christmas lights, with the Christmas music playing and the snow falling around the two of you would be spectacularly romantic.

the crowds won't be too bad - the closer to Christmas the worst it will be.

are you getting DDP? then you realize that you have some expensive ADR's - right?

Jiko uses 2.

how about doing your dinner at Jiko - tell the staff what you are planning - they like to help with things like that.

We were there last year at that time and will be again this year. The crowds were minimal. Although you will see an increase each day near the end of your trip, but still nothing like summer or holidays. Your itinerary looks great. We will be at MVMCP on Tuesday, too! You will recognize me because I will be the one breathing and sigh of relief with a big grin on my face...my son will be home from Iraq!

PS: I am hoping my son will use Disney as the perfect place to propose to his girlfriend!

Soccer Mom,

I'm praying for your son's safe return from Iraq. WDW is a great way to celebrate.
