Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Central 2005

[bigbabyblues]

My mom got our tix recently too. We have not decided on dinner yet either, I think we may do Tony's for 5 or 5:30. We have until Sept to figure that out though.

Actually, I think Tony's is one restaurant you can make the ADR for when you buy the tickets, or anytime after that this year. Liberty Tree Tavern is the other.

This is true! In which case, you should call as soon as you figure out what you are doing for sure.... by the time the 90 day window is here, it may be booked for all the good time slots!

I've never heard of this. It sounds like a wonderful time. Can someone tell me more?

Thanks! Liz

Thanks! I think we'll be taking a sleigh ride next time we go in December.

We did the Sleigh ride a couple years ago and it was really nice.

Can't wait to go again this year. We are going to try and plan some really special things for this trip.

When can you book a sleigh ride?

 

[erikthewise]

When can you book a sleigh ride?

Whoa! That's a tough one!
But according to http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/pscalc/dispscalc.html, carriage rides are booked at 60 days, so that would be my guess. You could call 407-WDW-PLAY and ask, but be prepared to call more than once. It may not come up on their screen this time of year since it's not available, so you'd need someone with experience to answer it.

Got our tickets! 3 days after ordering - super fast! DS is thrilled that his kid's ticket is Mickey. We also have a Minney, Goofy and a Donald. Very exciting. Now, where did I put them???

Hello everyone. If you see my signature. I have posted the following times for last years times for the first two weeks of December of 2004. Maybe it will help you with planning along with other links.

Sincerely, Ray.

Can anyone tell me when they start putting up the Christmas Decorations at the parks and resorts? We are talking about going the week of Thanksgiving. Saturday before until Thanksgiving Day.
Thanks!

 

[sheridac]

When it becomes available of course! We'll be there from Dec 14-23, doing MVMCP on the 18th. Any help you can provide for advance planning will be greatly appreciated!

Just an FYI, I think no one will have that info until the first party on November 27 and then they can report back here with the showtimes etc....but it should be almost exactly the same as last year.

 

[RaySharpton]

Ray - would you be able to get the same times info for 2005?

Here is a list for the year 2003 for the installation of holiday decorations around WDW. This should give you an idea and help you plan.

I hope that this helps.

Ray, we'll be at MVMCP on 12/1 with you all (have AR at LTT at 6pm) and then we're also planning Epcot on 12/3 (PS at PSB for breakfast and hopefully LeCellier for dinner)! I really hope to meet you all! I'll make sure to have green Mickey heads with DIS on our bags, but I'm sure you might recognize me with my gang!

 

[colkath2005]

Hi, triplefigs. I hope to see you too. Let me say I really want to meet you. I may plan a very late LeCellier lunch that day. Please keep in touch as the time gets closer.

The PPP birthday party is this Saturday at noon. I work nights so I may not be able to make it, but if you are coming I will forgo sleep.

Sincerely, Ray.

Hi, colkath2005. Go to www.allearearsnet.com and do a search for "site map". Scroll down until you find all of your information for explanation for aps. BeattyFamily has a post here about when to buy aps. Look for navigators for activities on DCL, but I don't know if anyone has christmas day menus on the cruise.

Sincerely, Ray.

We won't be there Saturday. We have tickets to Peter Pan at the Fox. I think the kids are going to love it! I may even dress them in their Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and Captain Hook costumes. I'll keep in touch about December. BTW, I taught my first Marvelous Multiples Prenatal class yesterday for Northside. Had 5 sets of twins and 2 sets of triplets. It was fun!

That is wonderful that you are teaching classes. I wish that I could make more of those PPP days. I worked yesterday, too, in NICU, in Pod G. These 12 hour nights are really hard on me to show up on the weekend. Have a wonderful day at Peter Pan. I can meet you where ever you will be at WDW, too. I can work around your plans.

Sincerely, Ray
