Anxiously Awaiting December Hours Thread! - WE'VE GOT HOURS!!!!

[LilGMom]

Pop Dec 1-7 and totally hanging out for hours! My first WDW trip and just knew I couldn't pick any better time of year than Christmas!

You will love it!!!! The lights, the atmosphere, the weather, just about everything is wonderful. If you can fit it into your schedule I'd recommend touring the resorts and checking out how they are all decorated for the holidays. Some of the decorations (the GF gingerbread house as an example) are absolutely amazing!!

Joining in on waiting for December hours now too We had to change our trip that was supposed to be next week But we are now booked 12/12 to 12/20 @POFQ with free dining! I have started the count down all over!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Add me to the list!!! We will be at the GF from 11/27 to 12/7 and only having part of my park hours is a killer!!! Our ADR date 8/29, and I need to get IPO my info a couple days prior... I just hope EMH nights etc. follow the same pattern as last year

 

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

Cant wait. Booked at BC from 11/29 - 12/6

My family and I are staying at the same time and the same resort as you. Might see you there!

 

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

We'll be POR Dec 12-19, free dining and military saltute tickets!

I just hope that spectro is scheduled at least once between Sun and Fri (getting there to late and leaving to early on the two saturdays).

Waiting for December hours here too.
I am going with my bet friend on a "girls only" trip December 2-6.
Can't wait to finalize plans!

 

[OnceUponADream07]

We'll be there Nov. 30-Dec.6. Staying at POR, with the exception of the last night when we'll be at CS. Sooooo excited!!!

I'll be looking for you at the POR - 4th year, can't wait. I wish they would release the Dec. hours, so we can see when Fantasmic is!!! Hope it is Thurs. again. It is going to be tough getting or ADR for that one, I think.

DD and I will be at CSR 11/28 - 12/5 for her birthday. Waiting on Dec hours so we can finish planning our ADRs!

DH and I will be celebrating our first anniversary 12/3 - 12/12. We cannot wait, we're so excited. LOL, I've been a little park hours stalker for quite awhile now. I've tried to "crack the code" with the hours, but to no avail. They are different then they were last year, at least Oct and Nov were. Oh well, I'll just have to do my itinerary all over again! (sometimes I think I'm sick in the head because that last statement seems more fun than a hassle. )

 

[kupperman]

Nov.29-Dec.6th for us. Can't wait. Got free dining and its our first time doing the dining plan and staying at a mod. resort! Come on Dec. hours....

 

[FINFAN]

add us too...12/17 (or 18 )to 12/27!

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Ok I'm on board (and subing). Was just thinking about the hours and starting to plan.

This will be our girl's first trip to WDW. Staying 12/8 to 12/15.

 

[Redbudlover]

Going to be there Dec. 3 at ASMU until 7th, moving over to BWI until 11th and then over to AKL until the 15th!!! I am waitlisted for front and back end of this trip, but have never moved this much before. It will be an adventure...

For those of you that are able to make an educated guess of the hours for Dec, can you tell me when you think the evening EMH's will be for DHS early in the month? People have said they look at historical schedules and they seem consistent year to year but I am at a loss to see how this works. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I looked at the first three weeks of December last year (http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dec08.cfm?requesttimeout=1000), and evening EMH for DHS was on Sundays, while morning EMH for DHS was Saturdays.

The same thing seems to be true for morning EMH in November of this year (http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/nov09.cfm?requesttimeout=1000) -- the morning EMHs for DHS are all Saturdays. The evening EMH for three of the 5 weeks are Sundays (the other 2 weeks are Mondays, but one of those weeks is Thanksgiving week when the EMH schedule in general is a bit different).

So I would say the odds strongly favor evening EMH at DHS in December of this year being on Sundays.

POP for 11-30 thru 12-14.

I'm somewhat annoyed because I think I'll need to make dinner reservations before Dec. hours will be out. I can't plan real well with extra park hours, etc. and I won't be having park hoppers.

 

[missnanse]

Waiting too, for those precious hours. I will be there from the 20th--Jan 1st.Hoping for LeCellier for Christmas Day and so many other great ADR'swill try online for the first time next month.

 

[Nancy for Disney]

Planning on Dec 8-13. Haven't made reservations yet but hope to make the call tomorrow or the next day. I've had some trouble trying to decide which value but just learned that Pop Warner will be at All Stars so that leaves POP for me. Going QSDP with one TS meal at O'hanas (hopefully). Since we will be just on the QS plan we can be flexible but I like to have everything planned out. I also won't be able to get an airline ticket until the end of Sept which makes planning hard too.

If you want to take advantage of the room discounts or the free dining, I would strongly suggest you call ASAP and make your reservations. Room availability is going very quickly.

 

[LUVMICKEY]

We are right there with you. We will be at BCV from Dec. 1-15. We've already made all our decisions where we want to eat, all that's left is being able to call to make ressies. The park hours may not be out yet when we call, but we will do our best.

 

[BellaDomani]

Add me to the list! We'll be at Poly 12/12 - 12/19 and can't wait to get the December hours. This will be our 4th trip during December and it is always magical.

We are HUGE fans of Fantasmic and are excited about Whoopi at CP this year while we're there, plus we want to take advantage of EMH and want several ADRs at in-park restaurants. But I think all of these things won't coordinate well with the park hours, so I think we're going to have to get park hoppers.

In any case, we are waaaay excited about our December trip.
