December hours

[tinks_1989]

I couldnt contain my excitement the December hours are up well the first two weeks any way.

Just thought you might like a little tip. I logged in using my country Australia and couldn't access the park hours for December. When I logged in as UK for my country the hours came up. I don't mean to harp on this but this isn't the first time I have come across deals and things being offered for the UK and those of us here in the land of AUS get forgotten. I really don't like this segregating countries. We all share a love of Disney and shouldn't be disadvantaged just because we live on the other side of the world. It costs us an arm & a leg to get to DLP you would think they would offer us the courtesy of the same deals and information as our Commonwealth brothers & sisters. There my rant is over, can't wait to arrive in 4 weeks and be sprinkled with Pixie Dust.

porsche - totally understand where you are coming from, that would annoy me too. You do know that you can book on any country's offer don't you? You just ring up the booking line and tell them what you have found - they have officially said they will honour it.

Leanne, thanks for posting - . Have to say though, one thing saddens me - no teacups at all while we are there . We love riding teacups during EMH as a family - lots of smiles & laughs as we see how fast we can spin. I suspect IASW will be open instead but tbh, there is only so many times I can do that ride . Looking forward to seeing the Christmas overlay but would prefer to ride the teacups several times over during EMH.

Nevermind, the Carousel is open this trip - and was closed our last, so it's swings and roundabouts....

Hmm, not sure how the EMH ticket distribution for the PP (IF they decide to keep it running) will work when there is only 1 hour of EMH on a weekend . As distribution is 9.45, it effectively means it's no longer a privilege of EMH guests (and could have long queues), unless they bring the time forward again to be solely in EMH, say 8.45 am. I know a lot of French people are not happy about the EMH distribution, but I think it is nice to have an extra perk of EMH (we pay enough for on site hotels to get that perk (or buy APs)).

WOW that's not fare! Glad you are still taking the giant leap to DLP though

Im not to worried about the tea cups it will be cold enough with out spinning around in it lol!

We will be in Its a small world, Phantom Manor and Pirates I dont expect we will do many rides as we plan to see Santa take it all in at Main Street, see the parade, may be see the princesses depending on what system is in place and seeing Elsie's hero the Mouse

The hours were pretty much as we expected but Rock N Roller Coaster is closed when we go

I'd love to worry about the thrill rides being closed when we go but as DD is way too small and DH hates them I don't worry any more lol! Hopefully DD will be a thrill junkie like me and DH can stay off with the bags lol x

 

[Serenlas]

I'm a little sad about the tea cups as well. They're not the most thrilling ride ever but they're cute and I think my little non thrill seeker would enjoy them. Ah well! At least Casey Jr is opening for the last 2 days of our trip. Shame about Space Mountain as we'll be able to do the bigger rides this time (2 adults so we can take a kid each if needed) but I know there are plenty more than we're going to love!

Glad we'll get 2 opportunities to see Dreams at 7pm on the weekdays, just incase we can't manage the later nights!

 

[small2006]

Does anyone know if Dreams will be on every night in December or only at weekends and Christmas?

 

[princessjodiebo]

Dreams will be on every night until at least (oficially) end of March and (unofficially) end of September 2013 as the 20th anniversary celebrations have been (unofficially) extended

Aaaawww nooooooo!!!!! Tea cups is closed when we are there I will cope without it but DD will be devastated. Better tell her in the morning and give her plenty of warning.

The park hours don't change from the middle of November onwards so I shouldn't think the daily schedules will change much either.

Four and half weeks until we go - so excited (love that smiley!)
