Cast Member parties

Just checked Disneyland.com and they have their schedule up for Mon. Dec. 12, and the hours are 8 - 6. Some people might be disappointed that the park closes early for the CM parties that day (and I assume the 13th too) but I am SO glad - I am going Dec. 12 - 16 (my first time at Christmas!) with my two two-year olds and they won't stay up past 8:00, so this way they will for sure get to see the fireworks and snow on Main Street! Yay!

Counting down the days...so excited!

I'm seeing the bright side in this as well!! It'll be nice to go to the parks all day AND be able to see the holiday activities, while also being able to go to DTD to have some food and relax and shop. DBF and I are going the 10th through the 14th and we have APs so we will still have time to do what we want on the 10th and 14th if need be. We've never gone at a time where the park hours aren't scheduled for 8-12, so I'm interested to see how this will go

Also DCA stays open late so people going then should get PHs (unless like OP they'll be putting kids to be early).
