Dear Paula:
It is not too early to book! You have chosen one of the best times for a DVCer to go to Disney, Low Crowds and Low Point Costs! Therefore, these rent out very quickly. Also VWL is the smallest resort, and very lovely at that time. Decorated for the holidays! If you are interested, I would suggest that you book now.
My family just came back from Dec 11-20 at VWL, and absolutely loved it.
Suggestions:
Handicapped Accessable Dedicated 2BRs are available at VWL, (If you need it). Main Difference, roll in showers for wheel chair access, and grab bars for toilet transfers. You may not need these features, but I wanted to let you know about them.
You get the DME for free (free roundtrip transfers from the airport to VWL) and could purchase the
DVC-
Disney Dining plan if interested).
Do not miss Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! You get late access to the Magic Kingdom, with a special fireworks show, and a great special parade, with more characters than I had ever seen before. Also, almost no lines, as the park is closed to non-
MVMCP guests at 7:00 PM. It also 'snows' on mainstreet and you get free cookies and hot chocholate throughout the park. This was the first time I got to ride the rocketships atop the People Mover, there was no wait!
Also, if you are a Christian, the Candlelight processionsal at EPCOT is amazing.
(Actually, as a Jew I found it lovely as well, my DW is Catholic!)
I hope this helps, and that you can get your reservation!
