A Cm just told me since she can not open the CP page at this moment, she thinks that is good indication the site is being updated and may have complete narrator and pricing info tomorrow at 6:00 am when the Disney site is uploaded.?

I didn't get up early to check, but it is still not there now.

Soon everyone will be double digit dancers woot woot!!!!

Not soon enough!

 

[Vickis3js]

Not soon enough!

I am so there with you! I have a Disney countdown widget on my cell and I have that one counting down from the day we leave NJ, we drive and stop one night so we leave a day earlier, and its still got way too much time on it LOL.

We're there the 22-28th! We've been at Christmas, but never on the actual day, so we're pretty excited. It's going to be strange, but fun!!! DH keeps saying, "So, we don't have to decorate the house, right?" Well maybe not, but I'm planning on decorating our room!!!!

DH loves the fact that we don't have to decorate the house. Especially since I would go NUTS. It would take us all weekend to decorate the outside and then I would take a day or 2 to do the inside. My kids did ask for a tree one year so I bought this cool little 2 ft prelit tree and got some mini ornaments and they are happy as can be. We have a similar tree we bought at the Pop gift shop our first Christmas at WDW. Other then that and stockings thats all the decorating I do.

We're going 12/9-12/14 at POR! Early December is my favorite time!

I'll be seeing you there. I'll be getting in 1 day later.

Me... I am a bona fide Christmas-aholic (my lawn and bushes are adorned with lights, signs and inflatables) and can't wait to see everything down there first hand.

Me too! And, I check it about 20 times a day!

I just noticed your ticker and you'll be there a day before me. How long do you plan on staying? We'll be there the 23-29th

We are driving down on the 21st, hoping to get there in time to go to the MK to see MSEP, since you can't see it very well from the Dessert Party area. We will be there until 12/26.

Have either of you decided where you will be on Christmas Day?

We have an ADR at Crystal Palace for 1:10, so I expect we'll just get to MK in the a.m. and then stay all day. It's going to be so different for us because usually we rent a car and stay at the Dolphin and/or the Poly, this time we're totally at the mercy of the buses and staying at POFQ. I can't complain to much though because this was a totally unplanned trip! to DH!

I would suggest you get to the park early. Right now AM EMH is saying 8a-9a, but last year, closer to the date, it changed to 7a to 8a for AM EMH, we were under the train station at 6:45am because of a downpour. I sure hope it doesn't rain again this year. We were at the bus stop at 5:45am and the bus didn't get there until 6:10am. We were told it would be there earlier.

POFQ only has 1 bus stop, so you should be fine. First thing in the morning, they might make to round at POR, but I don't expect it will be that way all day.

Thanks Suzanne! Yes, if I can get DH out of bed, we'll get there early!!!! He has this funny idea, you see, that while he's on vacation, he should sleep in regardless of being at WDW! Horrors! LOL! We'll keep an eye on the EMH times and hopefully I can get his butt out of bed!

Definatly get there early! Last year I believe it was around 10am when MK was at its last stage of closure.I don't think it opened up until after 1pm to resort guests.

Christmas day we are having a late breakfast at WCC and then hanging out at the resort or DTD until its time for our dinner at CM and then teh kids Christmas surprise is the Pirates fireworks cruise. We like to take it slow that day and avoid a park atleast until after dinner.

I've got a disney countdown widget on my cell too.! 109 days, actually I need to change it because I think we are going to check in one day earlier! So looking forward to the double digits!

 

[TruBlu]

Lots of Le Cellier ADRs just opened up if anybody still needs one!

Thanks! I just grabbed one. We've never been because I'm a vegetarian, but I know my husband will love it! I've been wanting to try it before it becomes a Signature restaurant, so hopefully the time I picked will work out. Ah, the sacrifices we make for love!

That's really nice of you! We went in July and DH (who is very nearly veg) kept making faces all the while DD and I dug into our meals (steaks). Needless to say, he doesn't want to go back. I hope your DH appreciates you for that!

I hope he appreciates it, too! He's a meat and potatoes guy from Texas, so there's no getting around it. I've grown accustomed to enjoying most restaurants for their ambience instead of their meals!

I think it only reached a level 3 closure last year. That's what I heard. We were there until about 7:00pm and We went back to Pop and I crashed for 14 hours.

It definatly was at a 4 for a bit because someone on the bus was yelling about being told she couldn't get in and she was NOT happy about it. Plus I was scared we were not going ot be able to make our dinner ADR if they stopped running buses if it closed so we called the front desk and she told us they never stopped running the buses and that MK has just opened to resort guests. I know it was not closed as long as it was the year before. 2008 it closed around 10 am and didn't open until after 3 I believe. We made the mistake of going to A park that year and heard a ton of unhappy people.

Yay! I'm so glad you got one!!!

Do you eat fish? The salmon sounds fantastic. (King Salmon Two Ways - Pan-seared and poached served with a fried brown rice tempura roll) I've never been willing to try it since I love the filet so much, but it really does sound good. As does this, Sautéed Potato Gnocchi - with grilled eggplant, cherry tomatoes, pesto broth, and parmesan cheese. I even think I could make a meal out of the mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Yummy!!!

Just make sure your DH knows the SACRIFICE you made for him.

 

[*Meagan*]

I don't eat fish, but that gnocchi sounds really good! We always try to do character meals, so it will be nice to visit some sophisticated dining establishments!
