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

Abby was into LM because we only considered values at first. But the budget changed, plus she's also a huge animal lover. I don't think we can go wrong either way...it's just figuring out which to do *this* time.

If that's the case, then I saw DO IT!!! You can't go wrong with AKL!

We arrive New Year's Eve, but no parks. Dinner at Chef Mickey's will be our Disney adventure for 2012

The room we heard is available is a "Deluxe Studio - Standard View". I know we won't see the savannah from the room...but are there places that we will be able to look out onto it?

here is a link that i have used in the past to find information out. As far as I remember there are animal viewing spots.

We were planning on staying at LM at AoA, which didn't have free dining anyways...so it's a moot point here. But good point!



AKL has a studio room available in Kidani

Got me excited for me to do a potential room switch up! Thought 6 in a 2br isnt terrible... I looked nothing available my week - but your week was wide open minus the value studios.... Good luck!

Looks like there is a savannah view studio available too, at least as of 5 minutes ago.

Man! Can someone check my dates? It seems like there have been cancellations!

12/1 - 12/9, would be looking for studio.

Yup, I saw that. Now comes the internal debate as to if I can/should spend the extra money. It's an extra $533 for the week. And I'd like to not break the bank if I can help it. It'd make my package $2949 ($449 more than I've budgeted).

I know, I shouldn't break my budget by 20%+. And in the end, I (probably) won't. But, for tonight, it's fun to think about.

Early December there won't be many DVC resort openings. It is low point season and most of the rooms are already booked.

Many DVC members go this time of year because of the lower points per night and the lower crowd levels.

LOL I went and changed my guess earlier today ...

my punishment for not reading the rules properly is I based my guess on how many would be on Roll-call by the close tonight so I have no chance Good luck to everyone else though!!! Yet another one of my ditzy moments

That's why we go when we go... The benefits of Value seasons- needless to say Mickey has us all wrapped around his little gloved fingers! DVC to keep people there during the off season.... He is a financial mastermind!

Just read on Touring Plans WDW Chat, that you will be able to start making reservations for Be Our Guest by phone starting at noon Aug 20th and online reservations will be available Aug 22nd.

"Also this location will participate in the Tables in Wonderland program. It's one quick-service entitlement for lunch and one table-service for dinner.& credit card will be required for the hold when making resv."

"Guests will not be able to note a dining room preference at the resturant when making reservations, they can inquire at the podium when they check in. Lastly Lumiere will not be at the restaurant, he will instead be nearby assisting Belle with the telling of her story at Enchatned Tales with Belle."

"As for the rooms lunch will only be served in the The Castle Gallery. And dinner will be served in the mysterious West Wing and The Ballroom."

The person reporting is a Disney Dining Reservationist who just got the Advisory sent via email.

CONTEST NEWS

As I mentioned earlier, the contest document gets locked at 9pm for now more edits. Now if you currently have a guess, you can still change your guess up till 9pm EST tonight. Keep reading---

I only mention this all again because I just took a look at the current roll call. Those of you with "low" guesses might want to calculate where we are currently on the Roll Call and make a NEW guess. See, how nice I am?

It looks like you have me on the roll call twice. Once dec 22 which is the correct date, and also on dec 25 wrong date.
