Thanks!!! We're VERY excited!!! I'm just about to call to book our trip... We decided on Coronado Springs December 6th to the 10th and Contemporary Bay Lake Tower Theme Park View 10th to the 12th!!!!
Welcome!!! I don't know about you, but I **can't wait** to see the castle in lights!!! (we're staying at BLT too!!!... it's going to be AWESOME to see the fireworks from the observation deck!!)
I just wanted to share this with all of our holiday-lights-in-disney go-ers... it's a video (a VERY good one ta-boot) of the castle in lights and the wishes fireworks on youtube...

We're still going the 9-16 but for now we have switched to BLT. We decided to just use our points and so I went ahead and booked at our home resort. We may or may not try to get in somewhere else at 7 months. I really like BLT though so I'm okay with staying there.
Since DD and I are going in March for her birthday I'm hoping to plan a much more relaxed trip in December without worrying about trying to do everything. DH really wants a more laid back trip this time.
We are planning on a relaxing December trip too...but I wonder how much of the new Fantasyland expansion will be open by then? Gonna want to see that for sure! I'll see if I can drag my DH into MK a couple times despite the horrid crowds long enough to ride whatever is open
I'm reading multiple reports that the HDDR will be closed from early August through the end of the year. My DH is going to be so bummed. We all will. That is a must do for all of us and is probably DH favorite part of the whole trip.
I always plan it mid week on our no park day and its such a fun and relaxing way to end the day. We like to get over there about an hour early and check in and sit on the porch and have a beer and people watch before the show.
I have no idea what I'm going to plan in its place. I thought about doing CA Grill on our no park day. That's another must do for us each trip, but I've read rumors that it might be closed as well.
I've wanted to try some new things next trip, but I really didn't want to not be able to do our two favorites. I guess if CG is closed it will force us to try one of the other wonderful Signature restaurants. But I don't know what to do in place of the HDDR.
We will be returning to WDW for Christmas. It is my favorite time of year to go because it is wonderfully festive; it is like Christmas on steroids! Every year when I think we will go at a different time we just end up going back to Christmas week.
We will be doing a split stay starting at AKV Jambo December 22-26, then moving to the THV's from December 26th-30th. I cannot wait!
