December 2011 - Christmas with Mickey!! Who's Coming Along and Planning Help Thread!!

Also is swimming this time of year possible?

Noelle
We've gone almost every Christmas since 2004 and it's only been warm enough to swim a few days out of all our trips. It's possible, but keep in mind that temperatures vary from highs in the low 40's to highs in the upper 70's. And those days in the 70's are rare.

We pack both winter jackets/gloves/hats and swimsuits ;)
 
We are booked for Dec. 25-31st at POR. Can someone tell me how do you get into the candlelight processional? Tuesday our ADR window opens and I'm cutious to find out how much is booked up after reading all this stuff online. Super excited though! Also is swimming this time of year possible?

Noelle
Once booking opens for the Candlelight Processional, you will book over the phone. Last year, wait times were over an hour for those who hopped on the phone at 6am. We are hoping they will allow CP to be booked online at some point, but I haven't heard any developments in that regard.

As for swimming, we generally vacation during mid-december and have gone swimming every year. They keep the pools heated, but towards the end of December, any potential chilliness could keep you away. However, definitely bring those bathing suits because you never know!
 

Could you change my resort please - we changed from POP to Port Orleans French Quarter!! Same dates - November 27th - Deember 8th!! :banana::banana::banana:
Thank you!!!!!

Where did you find this info?
Guess I've got some rethinking to do since Le Cellier isn't included this year....

Interesting. I'm a little surprised Biergarten isn't an option. Not too surprised about LeCellier, since it is now a Signature dining experience. Thanks for the info!

You're quite welcome. I couldn't find it online anywhere, so I thought I'd share.

We wanted Biergarten :(
 
Well, we are out for December, DH won't get paid if we go the week we were planning, because his vaction doesn't come in until January, but he probably wouldn't be able to get off then anyway, guess it's a good thing they let us know this far in advance.

Bytheblood, pleaes take us off for Dec.

I am sorry that you are unable to go. :(
 
Same here. I didn't get Rose & Crown or LeCellier. I understand they've "held" most of those reservations for the CP packages.

I did get everything else, even Christmas breakfast at 'Ohana. :thumbsup2

Don't give up on Le Cellier. I was booked for Tutto and was told I may have Celiac Disease so we decided to go elsewhere. We tried for Le Cellier just earlier this week and were able to get a reservation for 5 at several different times and on several days. ;)

I had a feeling that Le Cellier would not be as it is now 2 TS for dinner. It opened up a lot of reservations too! :cheer2::cheer2:
 
For those discouraged about not getting the restaurants you want, keep looking online. I was able to move some stuff around. Disney holds tables until all of the dates for events have been announced. They also open more tables (though not many) as we get closer.

We booked the following:
Narcoossee's
Sci-Fi (a little scared as we have never been here before)
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Princess Storybook
Tusker House Lunch
Bistro de Paris
Le Cellier
Wolfgang Pucks Dining Room Upstairs
1900 Park Fare Breakfast
Whispering Canyon Cafe
Boma Breakfast
