[boxiedryluvsdisney]

Going to disney dec 9-14 called this morning CM told us that December hours will posted around september 14th. has anyone else heard this as well because my 90 day adr window starts september 9th. CM manager also told me that i could make mulitple adrs for the same restaurant for my enitre stay. I only have base tickets this time which makes planning a "fun" adventure.

a CM told you to do that? I thought if youbooked something around the same times it would be cancelled.

I think he probably meant on different days ie: you may want to eat at the same restaurant several times.

I am in a similar boat - we're going to be at WDW 11/28-12/6. Our ADR window opens on Sunday. I had the same question. I saw in one of the DVC threads (of course I can't find it now) that someone suggested using the December 2008 hours as a guide. The theory is that the schedule won't change substantially. I put that theory to the test, comparing the November 2008 and November 2009 hours and it appeared to be true. So I planned my ADRs using the December 2008 hours EMH/parades/fireworks schedule as my guide.

Using the 08 schedule as a guide is better than making a complete guess. It's also better than waiting to make ADRs and finding everything booked (I'm going during free dining, so that was a concern for me.). Good luck!

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm trying to help a friend plan a trip for the same time you will be there... and the lack of Dec. times have been driving both of us crazy!

You're welcome.

The one change I would make to the 12/08 schedule (and have made for my ADR schedule) is for Fantasmic. I'd assume they will continue with the Monday-Thursday schedule for Fantasmic that was implemented earlier this year (in 08 they were still performing Fantasmic every night).

That's what I was thinking, that it would still be on a limited schedule.

FYI guys- When I called on 8/27 I wanted to book a Fantasmic Dining package for the first week of December and CM had no info on when F! would be and could not book a package. Surely this information will be available before Sept. 14th.

It is frustrating to do ADRs without park hours, escpecially working around when to go to F! now that it only shows on select nights.

Good luck with your plans.

ITA ! Our trip is Nov 28 - Dec 4 ... The first 3 days we have covered, but for the last 3 ... Waiting until Sept 14th ?? That seems late. Hopefully it will be closer to the first week of Sept
