I've done the same thing Suzanne. We have park hoppers so it won't be a huge big deal to have to hop to our ADR's, but we'll see. I also tried to estimate EMH's based on last December's hours... so between the two I'm satisfied with what I have... (fingers crossed)!!

Right now 3 of us have AP's and a 4th may have one shortly. The rest of our troop have 7 day hoppers, but we hope not to use them too much. This will be the first trip for 3 in the group and 2 of those 3 are 3 & 6 years old and the 6 year old has special needs. I am sort of restricted to certain times for meals because he has to eat on a schedule. I don't think we utilized evening EMH much on our last long trip, but we might this time having more flexibility. We don't really like Morning EMH much, maye at Epcot, MK, and AK.

Last time I had to switch 2 days around because of the schedule of parades, but that wasn't too hard. I want to make sure the kids see all of the parades, because they will love them.

We will see

Got my MVMCP tickets in the mail yesterday. Now I'm really excited!! I wish the tickets were holiday-ish. They're still cute, though.

Where did you find last December's hours??? I have tried to find this, and have not been able to. I was hoping to do the same that you and Suzanne did...plan based on last year + UG crowd calendar.

thanks!

Gosh,
After reading all of this and everyones plans, I am way behind on our planning...

I am putting down our deposit this week, and planning on ordering our MVMCP tickets.

On the good news side, our friends finally made the decision to go with us! We have done 2 DCL cruises with them, and it will be their first time going to WDW.

Guess I need to get busy with the planning!

I didn't have last years hours, I just used the UG chart for crowd levels on which days.

I had originally decided to do MVMCP on Dec 18, then last minute decided that Dec 14 would be better, so se my plans have changed at least once already. I am sure it will change again several times and may even change after we get there, because it usually does.

In 2006 we avoided the parks with EMH, but I don't know what we will do this time. I just strated off by haveing MK as my first day and last day visit, as it should be, then went from their. I tried to keep my ADR's at the park we were going to be at, so we weren't running here, there and everywhere, because there will be 2 little ones in the group. There are a total of 8 of us going and 3 are 10 and under. My cousin with the children will have to probably take longer breaks than we do, but we can split up if we want to. Her 10 year old will be staying in my room and will probably stay with me most of the time, since the 2 younger kids need naps and cooling off times.

If I can help, please let me know, I will do the best I can. That is why my cousin is letting me do all of our planning.
