Hey Whispering Canyon group on the 27th! Or anyone interested in resort hopping.

[glo]

I was just thinking...I know a dangerous thing. How about after the Whispering Canyon dinner, maybe 7 pm or so, we can do the Christmas resort hopping on the 27th?

We can start at the Wilderness Lodge, and take the water shuttle the TTC and hop on the monorail there. Then we can hop the monorail resorts and see the resorts lit up for Christmas...you know maybe even have a drink at each one ..."coffee, tea or alcohol.. pick your poison"

What do you guys think? I think the resorts at night would be awesome. Anyone interested?

OK, working list of those who posted that they want to do this.

I am thinking WL, Poly, Contemporay, GF, YC/BC, Boardwalk, S/D.. what do you think? We could end up at Beaches and Cream or anything that will be open late. I know Tubbi's is open 24 hours..

WooHoo!!

Now you're talking! This sounds GREAT! Are there going to be fireworks @ Magic Kigndom that evening? If so, maybe we could cordinate a place to enjoy a drink/or whatever and see them at this time as well since we'll be doing the Monorail resorts. Hmmm, the timing may not be quite right though. You WDW experts will have to figure that one out!

I am so glad that you have suggested this time for this! That was when I had considered doing this anyway.

Just let me know what's going on for sure here Marsha, the girls and I are definately IN!

That would be cool since we are all on the Epcot end we can tour those and end up at one of the places mentioned...A huge hot fudge sundae would be just the thing to end the day....lol

Does the boat go from the WL to the TTC - or just to the MK? If it goes only to the MK - you can get the monorail there and start at the Contemporary.

As long as you'll be on the monorail at night, be sure to take it from the TTC to Epcot - because it goes over much of Future World. I'm assuming you'll have AP's or else will have been in a park that day - then you can walk through Epcot to get back to Beaches and Cream.

Sounds like lots of fun. Too bad I'll be elsewhere with my family that day.

 

[luvdsny]

This sounds like a wonderful idea!

Hey Livia, Barb, Dayna, Tammy, Steve, and anyone else who planned on meeting me at the Swan for shopping at DD, how would you like to resort-hop and see the decorations instead???

 

[DumboOrBust]

I think the resort hopping sounds like a great idea. We could meet at the Wilderness Lodge. It's so pretty there decorated for Christmas.

 

[Patinmn]

That sounds great...should I add it to the itenerary Marsha?

If so can I host this one since I am no longer going to be hosting the Osborne Loght Tour ...I was really looking forward to that one.

Glo if you were wanting to host it, can we be Co-Hosts?

 

[dvc_bwv]

Dh and I think that's great and my DS is along for the ride (he he he). When I tell him we need to make plans and to come over so we can, he just says "whatever you want to do". Little does he know!

 

[Barb]

I think this is an EXCELLENT idea. Glo! Great job!! It seems to fit in perfectly with our plans! We can fine tune the trip as we get closer, since things seem to be changing all the time. But, I do think this is a terrific way to end our first night, and I love stopping for a drink or dessert at some point! I am definitely in for this one!

 

[BelleMom]

It is a great !!!!!

glo, but for a moment I had this weird impression that you were proposing a dangerous combination of the yuletide tour with DATW

I think we could take the boat from WL straight to the Contemporary and proceed on to the other MK resorts, then Epcot resorts, finishing at BC (i.e. Kitchen Sink). This is going to be fun, fun, fun!!!

Oops, and I remembered sg. We can take the bus from MK and go straight to one of the Epcot resorts, avoiding to cross the whole park (and making it easir for people who don't have Ap).

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Is everyone accounted for that is doing dinner at Whispering Canyon that night?? I think it best to hear from all involved before we add to Itinerary, but I think we should plan on it.. Glo and I were chatting this morning about this... and Livia it does sound a little like DATW and Yuletide Tour.. LOL At least this way we can tour some of the Resorts because it sounds like we are going to be too busy otherwise.. and I have intentionally left my dance card open for unexpected events..

 

[BelleMom]

Marsha, I think we had around 30 diners at WC, right Barb? So I think quite a few haven't said a word yet.

And my dance card is not complete also ... I still have (pardon the pun) some gaps in it.

 

[perfectmatch300]

This sounds like a great idea to me! We'll probably have to skip any parts that require park admission since we'll be using parkhoppers and do not plan to be in Disney parks that day - it's a Universal Studios/IOA day for us. I love the idea of touring the resorts with a group of DISers. What could be better than sharing those great decorations with a great group of DIS friends?

 

[Secret DISer]

Sounds GREAT to me, too!!
I was wanting to do this, but didn't know where I could fit it in!!
HURRAY!!

 

[tammyh-oregon]

I'll miss this one. Not getting in until 11PM that night. But I'll be thinking christmas carols on the plane for ya. Of course, I might forget while I am relaxing in my first class seat. Of course, if I was a good sport I could switch my flights, come down a day early and fly in coach. NOT!!!

 

[glo]

I think this will be a blast. I will find out exactly tomorrow where the water shuttle from the WL takes you to. Either way it will put us on one of the Monorail stops. Perfectmatch you do not need to use park admission to see any of the resorts. I was thinking of doing WL, followed by Contemporary, Poly, and GF then take monorail or car to the Swan/Dolphin, then the Boardwalk and end at the YC/BC. We can end with icecream, or at Tubbi's or anyplace in that area....I am planning that it will take us atleast 3 maybe 4 hours to do this in a relaxed manner....and enjoy..

Barb, not totally my idea, Marsha and I have been discussing this for a while, as we have been very interested in doing this as a tour. This morning we just hashed it out and put it together...not a bad mornings work huh?

So what do you all think?

 

[BelleMom]

That is what I think!!!!

As I will be arriving a day earlier, I will be certainly up to this Christmas extravaganza!!!!!

Just one thing: we can't take the monorail to the S/D, glo. If we do so, we will have to cross Epcot and leave through the International gateway: I don't remember buses to the Swan from Epcot's main gate. I believe it should be more convenient to take the bus from MK (or car) straight to S/D.



Ice cream!!!!

 

[glo]

Yes, Livia you are correct....we would have to take a S/D buss from the TTC ...I forgot that Epcot would be closed by the time we were done with the monorail resorts. SO it would be the resort busses...Still, not a bad form of transporatation.

I would love to see how many are interested...I know I am doing it no matter what...lol
