I've posted this information on some other boards, but you must have missed it. We were at WDW at the end of Sept. and we saw filming for the new dvd still going on at that time. On the 24th they were filming the new Woody show in Frontierland, and on the 29th they were filming a "mother and daughter" walking in front of the "Partners" statue at the MK. There may have been filming going on even after those dates.
I ordered a new dvd, too, but since it hasn't even been 8 weeks since we saw filming actually going on I really don't expect to see the new vacation dvd until maybe December, and I think thats being way optimistic.
I know some of you are going down in December, and if I were going I would want my dvd, too, so I'm sorry to say I have my doubts you will have it before you leave. I would LOVE for the Disney folks to prove me wrong though!
