I so wish they'd fill in those TBD narrators, lol!!! We have the option of 3 different ones during our stay & I'd love to know who the 2 TBDs are!!
Debating making a CP package ressie for at leats of them, that way, if it's someone I'd like to see, I'd already have the package booked!

I know!! Same here!! It's either TBD or Trace Adkins. We're not sure if we should take a chance on the TBD

I was only on hold for 32 minutes this am at 7:00! Got both CP reservations
that we wanted for dinners on 12/22 and 12/24. Now, we have all our room,park and dining reservations... what will I do for the 142 days until we leave for WDW?

Hate to rub it in, but I beat you...14 minutes for my CP res!! All my ressies are done, now I just have to wait to go!

Over an hour trying to get through then 41 minutes on hold but got reservations I wanted. Now just have to keep trying for a Fantasmic dinner package.

 

[DisneyGuess]

CP ressies all made!! Now, the wait for the TBD narrators to be announced & waiting for December!!!!!

 

[ciadriamom]

YEAH!!!! After only a 15 minute wait got our CP ressie for Christmas Day! Almost all dining ressies are done!

Now on to mapping out our days. (Who me, a compulsive planner??)

 

[hunterfaimly]

I called twice early this morning and got a busy signal. I tried when I got home from the gym and got CP in like 5 min for the 30th. All ressies done now I just gotta pay this thing off.

For kicks, I checked today to see if I could use my free trip from Southwest. The ressie agent I asked to check laughed as I told her Dec 21-26, but we were both suprised that there was still some availability! I'm booked the air and need to work on the room and dining very soon. I can't wait to be in MK on Christmas Day.

[disneylovin24]

Got a new ticker! 4 months just sounded more appealing then 128 days

 

[insoin]

I will be at Pop from 12/9-12/17

 

[boswellnakia]

I'll be pulling my first Christmas at WDW from Dec 21-26 staying at All Star Sports. Wish the kids could join me, glad the "ex" isn't. If there are any other solos there who would be interested in someone joining for rides and shows, I would love the company

 

[pit303]

CP booked La Hacienda 12/29 5:45. 8:15 show. We also have CA Grill 12/30 at 9:40 hoping to catch MK pre NYE fireworks and Rose and Crown 12/31 at 10:20 can I just say how excited I am!! Great way to celebrate our thirty fifth wedding anniversary

 

[kjmommie]

We will be taking a quick girls trip (for my 40th!) November 30 - December 4 and staying at Coronodo Springs. We are doing the CP on the 1st with Rose and Crown! We love Rose and Crown. I have been there at the holidays but my best friend has not so it should be a lot of fun.

[MPHARJ]

This will be our first trip to WDW in December, had to make it a cheaper trip but couldn't pass up adding days onto a cruise we are doing when I got great flight prices. So we will be at -

POFQ December 2-8

Just wondering if I should book the CP or MVMCP? My kids will be 16 and 11. Tryig to keep things cheaper since we leave in 6 days for 2 weeks at WDW, but would hate to miss out on these if we never go back in December.

If you had to choose one, I would go with MVMCP. With CP, you can still see and/or hear the narration without a package, you just have to do so from outside the theater (I wouldn't recommend waiting in a stand-by line, unless you have lots of time on your hands!). Depending on where you are outside the theater, you will be competing for a sight line and contending with noisy crowds, but it's still possible to experience it and enjoy it. With MVMCP, you either have a ticket or you don't! So I would opt for the hard-ticketed event.

 

[hunterfaimly]

I would go with MVMCP, it lasts a couple hours with somewhat reduced crowds. Can ride rides, see parade, meet characters and have some yummy snacks. CP is a show, lasts about 30 min. They aren't having MVMCP while we are there so CP it is for us. Also you can watch CP on YouTube so you might take a look and make your choice
