**December 2012 Roll Call** Holidays, FLE Opening & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

[JLa01844]

I think my ADR's went well... the only thing I couldn't get was Le Cellier for lunch. I even was able to get the 8:05 Crystal Palace and a 6:00pm Ohana!!!!

I decided to try Boma for breakfast on our last day (travel day). We are hoping to stay AKL next year, so I though this would be a fitting send off and we can see the Christmas decorations as well.

My ADR date is in tge morning and not really sure I know what to do. What is the time?? Is there a way to add you CC info (for holding purposes) before the time or do you need to do it every ADR? Any tips??????

Did you find the answer you were looking for (or figure it out this am) about pre-entering your credit card? Glad to hear it went well. Keep checking back re: Le Cellier.

. I am what you think of when you hear the terms big and burly. I have been a bouncer in Boston for 16yrs. .

What clubs have you been a bouncer at? I used to live in Boston for 7 years.

Roll Call updated!!

Can you believe we have 177 people on it and it's only early June?!?!?!?!?!

Somewhere in the world (Walt Disney World) there is Clint Eastwood western, whistling music playing. Should we invite any other NHL fans throw down in our Canadian standoff ?
Could be interesting. Like the Enterprise Rental commercial, except with WAY more trash talking.

I'll meet you there and talk up the Oilers (I'm still living in the glory days of MacTavish, Messier, Coffey and Gretzky )

I have been living in Chicago for 9 years, so I'm also a Hawks fan, but between the two, I'll cheer the Oilers any day!

I feel so alone. We're the only ones staying at CBR during our dates. Oh well.

I'll be on the look out for LGMH's while in the park. Mine will be on my hip pouch/fannypack. Anyone else wearing one while in the parks?

I managed without getting the answer! I did google what time the ADR system "kicked on" though because I finally finished "the plan" at 1:30am and then I couldn't get onto the disboards, it just kept spinning and spinning.

I'm pretty happy with my choices. I'm sure 1 or 2 of them might change when we get closer (obv. I will be canceling those if that occurs).

We are there 9 full days and I have the following meals planned:
1) Travel & Explore Day, Ohana Dinner.
2) Epcot Day, Biergarten late lunch, Magic Kingdm for evening parade & fireworks.
3) Magic Kingdom Day, boat to Wilderness Lodge for Whispering Canyon dinner.
4) Hollywood Studios Day, 50's Primetime Lunch**, Epcot for Illuminations.
5) Downtown Disney AM, Earl of Sandwich*** / MVMCP Evening.
6) Animal Kingdom Day, Rainforest Cafe dinner. Maybe Epcot for Illuminations, maybe.
7) Epcot AM, Via Napoli lunch* / DHS Evening.
8) Magic Kingdom Day, Crystal Palace 8:05!.
9) Explore & Travel Day, BOMA breakfast, Downtown Disney.

*This is where I wanted Le Cellier lunch. **This is the one that was last minute add-on. May cancel it. ***This is just going to be whatever we decide that day. Probably Earl of Sandwich though.

What clubs have you been a bouncer at? I used to live in Boston for 7 years.

I have worked at the same place for 16yrs. The name of the place is called Trinity. It's just outside Faneuil Hall. Before it was called Trinity, it was called Shawn's and Fin McCool's. It's right next to the Hong Kong.

I'll meet you there and talk up the Oilers (I'm still living in the glory days of MacTavish, Messier, Coffey and Gretzky )

I have been living in Chicago for 9 years, so I'm also a Hawks fan, but between the two, I'll cheer the Oilers any day!

As a Bruins fan speaking to an Oilers fan, thanks for taking Hall #1 over Seguin. Seems to be working out for both of us.

So BDL, wanna give some advice???

See we live in Methuen, and my hubby is a burly man-man too. It's his 30th Bday next month and I was going to surprise him with a night at Hotel Marlowe, dinner, etc. Any other suggestions? We stayed at Hotel Marlowe on our 1st anniversary(almost 7 years married now), so I thought that would be nice.

And we have a 2 year old that doesn't sleep, so we are really needing a real "sleep in until your body wakes up" type of day.

I hope so.

Like I said in a previous post, on our last trip, I wore mine from my lanyard, and not 1 person came up to say hi...

We are staying at BCV fom Dec. 11 -15 then moving to THV until the 20!
We are a family of six and our second time going in Dec.
I can't wait from the Osborne lights, the World Showcase Santas and the Earl of Sandwich Holiday sandwich.
I am beyond excited! Just bought airline tickets yesterday!

Added you. We will be staying at BCV the same time as you.

So what's the Earl Holiday Sandwich?? Is this something like their already awesome ice cream sandwich?

I sent you a PM. I hope it's the answers you were looking for.

Okay here is my current dilemma. They have released the dates for flights from SW, I have enough pts to get 2 tickets and I will be buying one w/cash. Right now the price for a round trip ticket from san antonio to orlando with 1 stop in houston is $461.10 That seems a little high to me. I can't decide if I want to buy now or wait to see if the prices come down. I can buy now but the refund will only be in SW credits and I don't think we will doing travel by flight within a year if I go that route. I'm also of course super paranoid they will sell out of the earl morning and late afternoon flights that I want. There are only 5 flights to choose from for my dates. So what would you do?

WDWinfo has listed the hours, EMH's, MVMCP's, Fantasmics, etc...

I got my tickets through AirTran....I checked SW, and it was more expensive. I ended up paying 638$ for two tickets....it was closer to 850 through SW!

Mine will be attached to my over the shoulder bag and I'm hoping to attach one to the stroller along with a sign as well.

I hope so.

Me too... no one said hi me either.

Maybe I will change up the placement of mine but I will post exactly where shortly before the trip... I will definitely keep an eye out for them.

SW was more expensive for us too. And it's not a direct flight either. We found cheaper airfare (and direct) on AA. That's including the bag fees too. Our flights ended up around $360 rt.

Airtran doesn't fly out of San antonio. :-(

Hmmmmmm...that is a dilemna. Im in Houston and I've been checking the SW website before the Dec calendar showed up to get an idea on fares and haven't seen anything fall dramatically. On the screen after entering your airports/dates, you can click where it says "Try our low fare calendar" to view the previous months fares for the whole month instead of daily view. I only see a couple of times where the fare drops to $113 to MCO in June and July so maybe they would drop in October/November for December???

Anybody else wanna try to analyze SW calendar to see how it works?

If it were me, since my dates aren't flexible, I'm flying with little ones (which I;ve never done before ) and don't wanna make any stops, I would buy it now.

Good luck!!
