***Official Planning Thread -DECEMBER 2024 - Welcome all!***

[japanese maple]

Please add us to the December 2024 list. DH decided he wanted to spend Christmas away from extended family this year and picked a cruise or WDW. We didn't find any good cruise options so Disney World it is. We will be staying at the Villas at the Grand Floridian from December 21-28, 2024. I'm looking forward to the Christmas ambiance but dreading the crowds.

Welcome!

Checking in with a December stay! We will be at POFQ December 20th-24th. I have never been to Disney any time other than summer, so I am super excited for the Christmas decorations but also super anxious about the crowds!

Does anyone know when they announce dates for parties that happen during the holiday season?
I know it's early right now, but just wondering when to start paying attention for that.

Likely early this summer. Halloween party dates will come out - in May - and then the Christmas party details.

We are going to drive instead of fly, so we will be adding a night to the beginning and will be arriving 12/21 instead of 12/22. also, we are not staying at All Star Music - we are at All Star Movies. Thank you!

Just saying hello everyone. Hello!

8 ish (for me) months to go. At least it's closer than 14 months when I started this thread.

Next few months things should pick up planning wise with Christmas party coming, maybe discounts for our time of year will drop.

Enjoy your planning, I sure do.

It's official we bought our plane tickets!

We had enough travel funds on SWA to buy our return flight. I'll keep looking for the prices to drop really low for our trip to MCO.

My DS, GS, and I will be traveling to Disney December 3 to 12, staying at Pop. We'll leave in the morning, arrive around noon if they don't change the flights and head over to Disney Springs for the rest of the day.
