DLP on Christmas Day?

[edinburghlass]

Its been 15 years since we've been to DLP but with a special birthday coming on Christmas Day I've been looking at a short break over Christmas with my teenage daughter.

Silly question probably but is it very busy and what are the chances of getting a meal booked for Christmas night?

Its difficult now to get a room for Christmas Eve funnily enough, but I wondered about doing a "split" stay will Disney shift the luggage the way they will at WDW?

We were in DLP last Christmas and though it was busy on Christmas Day - it was 'quiet' compared to Boxing Day. We have just returned from DLP (late Thursday night) and it was mad busy all 5 days we were there - easily comparable to Boxing Day!

On Xmas Day, we didn't bother with the dinner at the resorts - it is very expensive - we had an early - ish dinner at Lucky Nugget instead - characters and a band playing Christmas carols at the front - the price was the standard price.

Can't help re split stays at hotels - we have also done this more than once at WDW - I would just ring and ask them - can't be that difficult for them to arrange as all the hotels are much closer together.

I have been back and forth to websites all w/end and finally booked flight and hotel through Expedia, worked out cheapest and owing to the time its taken me I couldn't get anything onsite for Christmas Eve via the Disney website.

7.00 am flight out of Edinburgh arrive Paris at 10.00 on 24 December staying at the Cheyenne for 3 nights and celebrating my 60th birthday on Christmas Day

Thanks for the info re eating on Christmas Day, quite happy to have an early meal and as its 15 years since we've been to DLP I really quite like to celebrate at Annette's Diner

I'm thinking a Birthday Tea at the Plaza Gardens Restaurant might well be a good option as a chocolate birthday cake sounds ideal to me

Thanks to all the reviews and links in the stickies which I have been studying all day and half the night

You have booked exactly the dates (and flight times) that we booked last year (except we flew from Liverpool) - have a wonderful time - I'm very jealous.

Call from Expedia today, Flybe have cancelled the 7.00 am flight on Christmas Eve

Once more back to the drawing board while I worked out the best options as the reason for taking such an early flight was to have more or less a day at the parks on the Monday and the alternative flight wasn't until lunchtime.

I rang Disney to see how much an extra night would be and was quoted £274 Rang Expedia and asked if I could change the flight to the Sunday how much would an extra night be through them and they quoted £137. Now admitedly this is without tickets but I can get a 4 for 3 day ticket for £77 each sooooooooooooo we are now booked to leave on the 23rd
