It's never too early....WHO'S GOING DURING 12/04???

[mapmakerj]

I am sooo excited! DH just got a AAA membership and said we could upgrade to AKL. We originally were at ASMo but heard about Pop Warner so I talked DH into moving to POR. He knew I really wanted AKL so he said ok with the AAA discount. (Hopefully codes will come out to bring down price even more, but at least I have reservations) We will be there 12/6-12/12. DS will turn 5 while we are there. What a great BD surprise for him.

We will be there Dec 4- Dec 11. We is me and DD. Dad is going to be deployed. We will meet my parents there. I will turn 33 while we are there. Can't wait to see the decorations. We were there last year for the MNSSHP. Will go to MVMCP this year!!!

Holy cow! Cindy's on Christmas morning!?!?!?!? Now THAT is a TOTAL dream come true!!!!!!!!!

PattiPB:

Like I said, Keeping my fingers crossed, and hoping for all it's worth!! I don't have a ressie yet, and it's likely not to happen, but you never know... I guess I'll start calling on PS date at 6:55 a.m. Have you ever eaten there?

Hi delswife!

Your trip report actually made me come out of lurk mode. My crew will be there from Dec 18-27th. So far, we are 10 and counting!

So, no SIL????

Question about Pop Century. I'll be at WDW Dec. 5-11 at POFQ. Looks like they will be there the entire time I'm there- except the first park day. Will this make a difference in the parks? Do they usually lurk into the parks or are they at Wide World of Sports competing the whole time?

I'm excited to be there for a few days the infamous Del's wife will be there!

We LOVE Cindy's!!! We try to get breakfast there on every trip, and DH and I had dinner there on our "alone" trip in 2002!

I am hoping against hope to get ressies in Dec., but will have to pare down our group if I'm going to stand a chance! We will have a total of 12 people, and I'm probably only going to try to get 8 for the breakfast. I figure that is reasonable, since it is two tables of four! My parents haven't been to Cindy's yet, so I'm really going to try. Fortunately we have a fair number of days I can try for! Unfortunately I have to get up at 4 am to get the ressie!

DH and I took an anniv trip alone in 2002, and planned our anniv dinner there. I told them it was our anniv on the ressie, and noted a request for a window table, to try to time with fireworks. Not only did we get a window, not only did we watch the fireworks eating dessert, but we got an anniv gift!!!! Our server gave us a pair of champagne flutes with "Cinderella's Royal Table" and a picture of Cindy and the Prince dancing etched on it! They are on display in my house.

The neatest part was Prince Charming was circulating through the room, and when he approached the table, he said "I see you've already found your Prince Charming, and I hope you have an enchanting evening"!!!

Sorry---this is longer than I thought!!! LOL!!!

Patti, that sounds like an awesome experience! Don't give up on your Cindy's bfkt for 12 though. Not long ago (maybe 10 days or so) someone posted they got a ressie for 22!!

 

[lentesta]

I'll be there December 9-12 at least. No idea where I'm staying yet. And I'll probably pack on the way to the airport.

[PattiPB]

Thanks disney4us2002!!! I'll get my hopes up just a little...

PattiPB- we had a group of 15 this past year and got Cindy's for everyone. We had to get to different PS thought b/c above 12 goes is transferred to group dining and by that time it is full. So, we ended up with two PS for 12 and lessened the number of one from 12 to 3. We also got 12 for another day but kept the date we wanted and cancelled the other. We also got a PS for 11 two years ago. Just remember to say party of 12 or as many as we can get in- if not the CM may not grab that table of 8 that may only be there for a second- my mother had this happen to her! Just assign some extra callers and you will be fine. We had 5 people calling and both days we tried 2 people got PS for 12! I don't think it's really the number that is as important as getting through early enough. Good luck! Sending pixie dust your way!!!

PattiPB:

How magical and dreamy!! Thanks for sharing those great memories! We are so looking forward to our first Christmas at WDW, with or without Cindy's. You make me think maybe an anniversary dinner there would be better anyway...

[PattiPB]

I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many posts about large groups at Cindy's! What months were you able to secure large party ressies??? Since this is our first ever off-season trip (teachers), I'm optimistic for Cindy's, and an Illuminations cruise, too!!!

 

[tink2]

PattiB- we got reservations for our large groups Thanksgiving week for 2 years- and Thanksgiving Day was the day we kept out of multiple reservations. So, a very busy day at MK but special with Cindy's that morning! Again, I think it is how quick you can get through to a CM when you call.
Good luck!!!

I am! I am. We got back around the 5th of December in 03 and within a week of coming home I made reservations for right after Thanksgiving - Dec 6th of this year.

Looks like we are going at the same time!
We are booked from Nov 26th to Dec 3rd!!

Will you be doing any MVMCP nights?

 

[mickey58729]

We will be there.... My friend and I will be on our yearly get away to Disney Dec 3-11 and are staying on property for the first time (Pop Century) and cannot wait to go....

For those that have not been to Disney around the Holidays it is incredible. I highly recommend MVMCP.... Also, a tip if you plan on attending make a PS at one of the resturants at the MK for around closing time or a little after for dinner - that way you don't have to leave the MK and then come back. You are already in the park and get to avoid all the crowds at the entrance and on main street when they reopen for MVMCP.

We're doing 3 days from 11/25 to 11/28 at POR, leaving on 11/28 for a 4-day Wonder Cruise, and return to POR for 3 more nights from 12/02 to 12/05. I'm getting so excited. Just wish I could make time pass faster.
