PART FIVE!! *December 2012 Roll Call* Holidays, FLE & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

We did the dinner package and even though that line was super long when we joined, we had awesome seats. We got in line 30 minutes before show time and it moved very quickly.

One thing a lot of folks don't know is that once you're in the seating area, it's open seating. There aren't seperate sections for dinner and stand-by. So although the front section filled in quickly, there were still several seats, dead center available.

We got in line about 30 minutes ahead too and had seats on the center end of the left side section which were great

The scrapbook is finished!!!! I mean, completely, absolutely, ready to be wrapped, finished. Now I can totally focus on my Disney trip in 4 days!! I am beyond happy right now.

I just bought two scrapbooks when we were down there. This is my first attempt at doing this, so I don't know how it's gonna come out.

Actually, on the back of the card in the small print it says that in order to get the CD you must have the promotion code. I'm hoping we can still get it without paying an additional cost.

Good luck w getting the CD :

How'd your son do getting all his homework done from vacation?

Yeah but if you didn't receive it.... Not your fault - Disney is a fan of repeat business so I'm sure when they see you have a PP+ card it shouldn't be an issue.

I have a 5:10 reservation at California Grill, and I am thinking of buying MVMCP tickets for that night. Do you guys think the line to get in the magic kingdom will be super long if I keep this dinner reservation and head straight to MK after dinner?

I agree completely, but I saw people lined up when I first walked past at 2pm, and there were hundreds already. And only a few dozen of them made it into the showing I was in, the 5pm one, and I doubt the majority of them made it in either of the 2 later shows either.

How was your 5 o'clock show? Was it ok even though it wasn't completely dark?

Last year we left after the Castle Light show, so about 6:45ish and there were a TON of people coming in.

I'm running to Target after work to get a few last-minute things and then I have to go home and...CLEAN MY APARTMENT! Ugh! My landlord needs to come in tomorrow, so I have to do a full clean...and pack! I wish I would've known about this yesterday!

We were at Epcot on 12/5 and headed toward CP around 6:30. I thought for sure we wouldn't get in because I had seen the lines since early afternoon!! We walked up and the CM said "They are doing really well at getting everyone in." We had to park the stroller and we got in right at 6:45. Had a great view and there were a few empty seats, even!

If you want to do Enchanted Tales, definitely head there first! Then I would head to LM and the Grotto. If PP is on your list you can grab a FP first before heading into New FL.

I second this advice. We went to Enchanted Tales with Belle immediately after breakfast at CRT. We were the first group though the attraction. DD5 LOVED it! It was such a sweet attraction for young children. The effects and details were cool to me as an adult, but the experience was truly magical for my 5 year old. (She was the horse.) The line was very long when we were leaving at about 9:25. The next thing on DD's to do list was Merida so we did that next. By the time we were done with Merida a little after 10 Am, there was a line for Little Mermaid fast passes. We ended up skipping Little Mermaid because the timing just didn't work out and there were other things that DD and DS wanted to do more. Frankly, I was a little princesses out after encountering 7 princesses in a 2 hour span so I was fine skipping it too.

Yep. Every day. That's why I like to visit here on this thread. Hoping some of the excitement will rub off on me! I think I've just traveled too much this year- but not to Disney!

I guess it depends on the day of the week then

I am assuming you are not staying on points? I heard they never upgrade DVC?

We were in a 2 Bdrm @ Kidani a few years ago for Xmas. It was awesome!
