Hey snicker-doodle if you get back before 12/2 can you let us know if this was the sched? We are leaving on 12/2 and would like to have a plan for the parade and fireworks. We will probably just figure out the rest once we get there.

Thanks for the info.!!

Hi kar313 -- we're actually returning on 12/2 - our flight comes in mid-afternoon. What time are you leaving? Would love to help you out, if possible.

Another option if you can't get a reply from someone who's returning earlier than 12/2 - I'm taking my cell phone with me - I'd be willing to give you a call if you wanted to PM me with you phone number.

Kar, I'll there for Nov. 28 and will be back Nov 30. I'll post the schedule.

Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks!! We're counting the hours and finally packing!

Let's compare with last year's schedule.

Parade, Wishes, and Night Before Christmas are the same as last year.

Celebrate the Season is the same except the 2nd show starts at 9:40 instead of 9:30; no doubt the earlier time conflicted with Wishes.

Belle's Enchanted Christmas has changed significantly. The 6:40 show is an addition since last year, the 9:30 show has been dropped (Wishes again) and the other times adjusted. This show is held at the Fantasyland Pavilion -- does this mean Fantasyland will be open 6:00-7:00? (It might help if I knew where the Fantasyland Pavilion was!)

No mention (so far) of the Snowflake Special Storytelling or Goofy's Country Dancin' Jamboree Celebrates the Holidays Show (whew!). We didn't see either of those last year.

 

[cruisin'Mike]

Belle's enchanted Christmas is supposed to be in the Fairy Tale Garden this year. I think that is the usual spot for Belle's storytelling, kind of near Cosmic Ray's. Last year it was in the Pavillion in Fantasyland between Dumbo, Pinocchio's Village Haus, and Ariel's Grotto.

I leave in 16 days for Dec. 12 MVMCP! Thanks for the info!

Seems like they have cut down on the photo stations. We have always got ours done at Small World. Since that is closed, I guess they aren't moving it somewhere else in that area. I thought they also had one in Hall of Presidents.

 

[zulaya]

Seems like very few photo stations...could they be expecting less attendance or are people just skipping the photos.

Kinda icky places too...I mean on opposite ends of the park and all.

Thanks Shirley and snicker-doodle.

I also have question about Wishes if anyon can answer.
Where is best place to watch them? Is it different for MVMCP?

 

[cruisin'Mike]

I personally think its best to watch from Main Street near the Hub. It is similar to the regular Wishes show, which showcases Cinderella's Castle. There are some extra enhancements at the end. If you've never seen it, I don't want to spoil it for you, but you definitely want to be sure to watch this display! Happy Holidays!
