does anyone have one tucked away anywhere? I've searched online with no success. I know there's no guarantee things would be the same I just want to get an idea of the times father christmas has been around previously.

Thanks in advance :goodvibes
 

Be warned when waiting to see Santa - it can rake THREE hours! After waiting an hour we were cutting it close for leaving and my DD burst into tears saying she sill never meet Santa. I cried too and a CM saw us and ushered us through the back. That made my Christmas and it was real Disney Magic *sigh*
 
we went first thing in the morning to see Santa - ie instead of heading for BTM at ropedrop, we headed for Santas grotto instead :). I think we waited around 20 minutes or so.

I remember reading that! It was so sweet and what made me realise I needed to seriously plan Santa. I'm thinking if the times are the same and he starts at 10am, it'll be on the Friday (our 1st full day) emh and set up camp for santa as soon as we can get near maybe around 9am lol :santa:

Thanks we cross posted, I'll definitely be doing it this way! Luckily between mum and I we can rotate waiting in line for meet and greets if need be :goodvibes
 
Santas Grotto is right at the back of Frontierland, so you won't get anywhere near there until 10am ropedrop I'm afraid.

Hmmmmm that'll be my job then going and getting a place in the line. It's August and I am seriously planning every day as much as i can ... I must be mad!

You can't be, *** I'm doing the same thing :rotfl2:

We're travelling boxing day though, so Santa queuing is off my to do list, but I'm really glad you asked Xmas schedules :cheer2:

Yay for crazy planning :yay: What a lovely way to spend Christmas if we didn't have the puppy we'd be going over the holidays so I'll be looking forward to your report. Are you flying from Manchester? This is our first time on the eurostar, so all i have left to do is get the train tickets to London, can't decide if we'd make the last train or to do the sleeper coming home or stay over and get the first available train on the Monday morning?
 
Fantastic thread, I'd been looking for one of last year's Christmas schedules too!

Thank you all so much :lovestruc

Santa is usually still there after Christmas so you can still see him if you want to

Yeah we're flying from Manchester - just bought DD a Little People airport off eBay tonight, can't start preparing her too soon :laughing: I'd initially planned to do Eurostar so we could spend sometime in London, but I don't think we could have beaten the prices. We would have to of done a London hotel too, so the reduced travelling time & prices was too hard to resist.

Where are you travelling from?


Not sure what naughty word I used :rolleyes1
 
Lol was going to post a similar thread today!
Kids are back to school here next wednesday and once school goes back Christmas is going to fly in.
Loving the crazy Christmas planning in August. Im just waiting for my ticker to hit two weekd so I can do the PTR!!
Have a rough plan done up already so going to print the above links and do some more planning tonight :cloud9:
Ive the luggage tags printed, just have to laminate them and eeeeerm ive the kids clothes packed. DP thinks I need one of those fancy jackets with arms that tie round the back!!

Does anyone know what time the bonfire fireworks on Lake Disney start at? Want to get a rough idea of what time to book our 1st night dinner. Thanks

Looking forward to lots more crazy Christmas planning :banana:
 
I think the bonfire fireworks on the lake usually start at 9pm :goodvibes - we'll be there with our hot drinks/hotties in our pockets on the 7th! I'm hoping to get a spot either in front of HNY or on the SL side of the lake, to see Mickey come around the lake in his little boat.
 
Thats our plan too Elaine! We'll do either the SL or HNY buffet around 7/7.30 and be out in time for fireworks. They sound so magical.
