[Jakesmom504]

Not booked yet but in the process of planning a trip for my family, parents, 2 brother's and sis in law! Can't wait....so excited! Thinking it will be the 15-22. Dec 15 will be our 12 wedding anniversary...what better way to celebrate!

 

[MandeeLeigh]

Just got a *surprise* email confirmation for December! My dad and I went last year (our first time!) and were talking about doing it again...then I open my email a few minutes ago to see he just booked it without telling me! SO SO EXCITED.

Arriving 12/10 and staying at AKL with Arusha view. The zebra domes are calling to me as I type.

And now - I wait.

 

[JCSCBROWN]

We are going in December and I cannot wait!

hhhmm I could of sworn I posted this already but maybe it was on the other thread.

Who's gearing up for ADR's in June! I can't wait! What's on everyone's must eat at list?
We want to do:
CRT
askerus for my daughters 5th birthday
Liberty Tree
Tuskers for Breakfast
Boma's
Ohana's
Biergarten
If the Be Our Guest is open I would love to try it out.

We our doing the deluxe dining plan, so we will probably have 2 sit down and a Counter service a day. I know it's gonna be a ton of food, but my husband insists so that's the plan.

 

[MindyLuvsMickey]

I'm ready to book ADRs!! Only . . . I dont have a clue of where to book.

Ohana is a definite
Maybe Whispering Canyon and 50's Prime Time.

We are doing the regular dining plan for only 3 nights.

What's good at EPCOT?

We always do sit down at Beirgarten when we're at Epcot. We love it!! The food is great, and our girls love dancing down in the center with the german band.

Glad to see you made it. Welcome aboard.

 

[My2Qtz0205]

You can add me!

We'll fly in on the 7th, but our first park day will be the 8th. We'll fly home on the 15th.

This will be our first time at Disney during the Christmas season.

We will be celebrating our daughter's 7th birthday, so that is what we are the most excited about! I am trying to convince my husband that Christmas will be just as awesome as the Food & Wine Festival was, but it will take some doing.

We are staying off-site at a rental house.

I don't yet have a PTR, as the only thing I have officially purchased is my Photopass CD and my travel planning books! But we are going!

 

[jimjenkids]

Jumping on.....we will be at Disney Dec 22-27-Pop Century.....Driving from NW Iowa and to top it off.....3 of the 4 kids will get a chance to drive a bit DD:14, DS15, and DS17.....paying off the trip Friday and then just counting the days! This will be the celebration of my 40th bday(aug) and DH bday (dec 21) and just to get away from the cold and snow!

I usually have a good idea of where we're going to eat well ahead of time but I'm not sure this time. We usually do HDDR on our no park day but I'm hearing that it will be closed for refurbishment in December so I'll have to choose something else for that evening. I also read a rumor that CA Grill might be closed also. This is disappointing as its a must do for us, but it might push us to try a different signature on this trip. But which one I have no idea yet.

I know that I would like to book a CP package for our trip but I'm not sure what restaurant yet. And DH really wants to try Mama Melrose because he has a friend that went and says its really good. But DD and I ate at SciFi a couple weeks ago and had a great time and I think DH would like that. So we'll have to see. DH doesn't ask for much though. Maybe we can SciFi for lunch on the morning we do DHS and maybe book a Fantasmic pkg for Mama Melrose on a different day.

The few that I know we'll do are:
Chef Mickey's for a late breakfast on our no park day
Crystal Palace for breakfast hopefully the early 8:05 ADR
Ohana for dinner

 

[My2Qtz0205]

I also read a rumor that CA Grill might be closed also.

What?!

We ate there for our 10th anniversary celebration, and we LOVED it! DH is a huge sushi fan, and he is already tasting that sushi! I don't even know of a second choice for us!

Our only other must-do ADR is Akershus on the 9th for DD's birthday dinner. I was thinking of a Chef Mickey's breakfast to see the Fab 5 without having to wait in line. We did DS's birthday dinner there on our last trip. The rest of our meals will probably be counter service.

 

[CarolinaBlue]

We'll be there for Christmas! We're doing the Eastern Caribbean cruise on the Fantasy Dec. 15th-22nd, then going to WDW Dec. 22nd-26th. My birthday is Dec. 23rd and I will definitely be at MK that day. Not sure yet which resort, either Fort Wilderness or POFQ.

 

[taaren]

We are planning on:

T-Rex Cafe
Chefs de France
Whispering Canyons
Fairfax Faire
and an Illuminations cruise!
(with a possibility of Chef Mickeys for a character dinner if we can fit it in for the kids) on our first week.

Kouzzina
Tusker House character breakfast
Wolfgang Pucks Express
and possibly Coral Reef (maybe just dessert?) on week 2.

Just need to download/subscribe to a Touring Plan and then figure out how EMH's fit in. I'd like to avoid the morning EMHs and go for the evening ones, since even with 5, 6, and 7 year olds our time change clocks will be geared towards night time hours.

What's a touring plan? Well I mean are there programs out there that do it all for you? I'm a newbie but for our first trip in Feb and our next trip in Dec I'm just writing stuff down. What are these downloads/subscriptions you speak of
