How many days do you need to do all of the park going in Dec. 08 and have no children.

What characters are out ( really what to see Snow White and all of the Dwarfts. What Character meals do the offer.

Is there a place to see the park hours and what is going on on special days on the web like they have for Flordia.

Thanks I am sure I will have a ton of more ? before the year is done.

The menus to all the restauramts are on allears.net.
There are 5 character meals-

Storytellers w/ Chip and Dale (Grand Cali Hotel) Breakfast
Lilo & Stich (Paradise Pier) Breakfast
Minnie and Friends (Plaza Inn DLR) Breakfast- AAA Discount
Princesses (Ariels Grotto DCA) Lunch and Dinner- AAA Discount

It's too early to find the calender of events for December. It is found on the Disneyland home page under calender. I think they are only on June right now.

I have never seen all of the dwarfs out on any of our trips. Snow can be found at the Princess Meal at Ariels Grotto, At the Princess Fare in DLR and sometimes at Minnie and Friends breakfast. We saw her at Goofy's Kitchen a few year's back.

We go for 5 days and 4 nights. We get there mid morning on the first day and leave mid afternoon on the last day. We live in Texas and try to take a 7 am flight in and a 6 pm flight out. We get everything done. December 8th is a great time. The holiday overlay will be on at HM and IASW which should be back up from the refurb. It "snows" over Main Street. Santa and the reindeer are back at Big Thunder ranch. We love that time. It also should not as crowded and you should easily fit everything in.
As always, get to DLR at rope drop. Unlike when we visited WDW, they let you into Main Street about 30 minutes prior to rope drop.
There are some VERY helpful people on this board. I know you'll get lots of help with your questions!!!!
Have a great trip!!

Thank you for the help. I have been to WDW so many times I quite counting. We go there for a week and stay on property. When we go to Calif. we will be staying with my sister. So there are other things I would like to do while we are there. Tina

Snow white and one or 2 of the dwarfs have been seen at Animation building lately. A lot of the princesses rotate through there and then you don't have to do a meal.

December hours are the most different by week than any other month.

Early December the hours are probably going to be (for DL) 10AM-8PM and (for DCA) 10AM-6PM. That is weekdays in the first two weeks.

Then weekdays in the second week hours will be extended a little to (making an educated guess here) 9AM-10/11PM(DL) and 10AM-7/8PM (DCA). These would also be the hours for weekends in early December.

Then about 5 days before Christmas until the end of the year the hours will be 8AM-12AM and 10AM-10PM because of the massive crowds.
