Christmas 2008 booked, now what??

[girli565]

Ok, so I just booked an ASMu Family Suite for me, Dbf, Dmom, Dsis(3), and Ddad!! We're going Dec. 22-28, 2008 . I could only book room-only right now because the system was not that far ahead but I will change it to the Deluxe Dining and 5 day hoppers next week when the system allows the package ressies to be put in.

Any recommendations on what SHOULD NOT be missed when we're at a Disney Christmas?!!!

Yeah, resort hopping was in my ideas because they are all so beautifully decorated!! And I'm beyond excited for the Osborne Lights!! It will be my family's first time seeing them, me included!

A 3rd recommendation for Candlelight Processional. I would not try to do the Dinner Package, or even without it, on Dec. 24th or 25th. We did the 25th dinner package. Even getting there 45 minutes early with the "special pass" didn't get us a good seat. If you can see Gary Sinese on another day, do that!

Also take at least one non-park day on the 26th -28th. The crowds are crazy those days.

I did figure that it would be very crowded on the 25th, but I think my mom wants to do something that day that is special so we may just get there very early.

Should we be at epcot that day or could we park hop? I know crowds are bad.
