Official December 2008

We'll be at Pop from 12/11 through 12/15! Can't wait!! And also hoping that December hours come out on time... It's hard enough trying to coordinate stuff with two other adults, even with the correct info! Guesstimating makes it that much more difficult...

I saw a blurb somewhere on the DIS boards about holiday dining surcharges and buffet for Sat night chargers; will this be all of DEC of just Xmas day and etc.?

I think it is during the most crowded time, maybe starting with Dec 19 and going forward, just like with the resort prices going up beginning that date, and ending just after the first of the year.

197 more days sounds like forever, but 29 more Fridays makes it seem so much closer!

 

[Leonsmom]

Question for my fellow December pilgrims...we arrive the 2d, leave the 9th. I'm a bit nervous about boking the 2d, b/c if we get in late/tired/etc. we will either have to be less that optimally ready for the event or we just eat the ticket. the 4th and 5th are premium nights, so that is a big 'ole red flag to me that there will be WAY too many people. Our last opportunity is the 7th, but Pop Warner will be at WDW....does anyone know if the Pop people venture out at night? I know, I'm probably over-thinking this, but if I have options, I'd just as soon pick the one that will be the best value based on crowd v. cost and most likely to fit our schedule needs. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

We are going to be there the same dates and I am wondering the same thing. I was thinking the 4th also but can someone tell me the difference between a premium night and not a premium night?

As far as over-thinking it what else do we have to think about until we can make our ADR's

 

[Karlzmom]

So at this point dh is not as enthusiastic about discussing ADR's becasue we are still 7 months away from going BUT he just does not understand how this stuff works!!!

I'm in the same boat....but I found one way to work it out with DH. I handed him Birnbaum's book (thin, so not overwhelming and lots of pics -what is it about men and pictures )

Once he was able to thumb thru on his own while we talked, it was much easier to discuss what he might want to do. Much, much easier than when I was holding UG and asking "what do you think about.....? Thought I'd pass my sucess along, and it may be helpful. GL!

Hi everyone... I am new to this thread - but we will be heading down to Disney Dec. 22-27th.... Totally bummed that I will miss MVMCP...but I guess that just means that another trip needs to be planned - and soon!!

Actually, you are the lucky one, you get to see all the things we paid to see for free. The only difference is that they won't be serving hot choc and cookies. Probably starting Saturday Dec 20, they will show the parade, Holiday Wishes on a daily basis.

Add me to the "official" December 2008 list!

12/6 - 12/13 Polynesian
12/12 MVMCP

Note: I'll be taking my 4 year grand-daughter on her 1st trip!

Karlsmom - when do you arrive on Dec 2? If it is late, I kinda agree with you that you may not want to do MVMCP that day. I was going back and forth between Dec 4 and Dec 7 myself - finally settled on Dec 4 because it fits our schedule better. I wanted to avoid a Friday MVMCP altogether. I'm hoping the Thurs will be OK.
