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

[Valgoof]

SO. HAPPY.

Got my ressie for the Dessert Party! I can finally stop stalking the board and the DW site!

We are going Dec. 3rd!!!

I am with you!!! Such a relief to have that done. I deleted that thread from my subscriptions.

mom2travel--are the Mickey heads the number of times you have stayed at each resort? If so, wow!!! Where are you staying this trip?

Yes, you guessed it
I forgot they were there - I've been using the disboards app and can't see anyone's signatures or tags

We're trying POFQ this trip. Haven't stayed at a mod yet, but DH and I did a quick walk-through once when we decided to jump on the PO bus and take the boat to DTD (ah, the freedom of a couples trip!). Picked POFQ because of its more compact layout.

I actually had LTT on my list early on (it was one of the first, after our repeats from last year) because they have a vegan patty with vegan tzatziki, which sounds like a nice, different thing for me to eat.

I've never eaten at Le Cellier before, but I wanted to check it out while we had free dining and it was still 1 credit for lunch. I'm not sure if I'll let them know I'm vegan or will partake in the gnocchi. Ha!

Ooo I love gnocchi!! I didn't look past the filet.

I think you'll really enjoy it! We have stayed there a couple times, and love it. I don't think there's a bad choice of room locations.

WISHES FIREWORKS DESSERT PARTY NOW OPEN!!

You can now make your December dessert party reservations (just saw this on another thread!)

WOO-HOO!!! On hold now, so I'll not commit to the dancing bananas yet.

It would be so much easier if I could use the online reservations, but the site is scrambled and useless here at work!

 

[rubybpc]

I haven't heard good reviews about the dessert party. I didn't think it was worth my money. Have you guys been there before?

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it. I love trying new resorts. POFQ seems like it fits right in with what we like about other resorts

Looks great. Not sure I understand your Ohana issue. MK opens at 9am on the 14th.

They sometimes add a morning EMH during December, so I'm waiting for that.

Ah yes, I forgot Cupcakes is like our Bat Signal.

I was surprised. It was the one extra thing that DH immediately wanted to do. He liked the idea of having an assigned spot for Wishes and not fighting the crowds. And I still have MVMCP to watch them from Main St. But I know I am giving up MSEP. My BIL and family have done it 3 times and say they will do it every trip.

They don't normally add morning EMH's that early in December. They do sometimes bump up the regular opening time though, so you're wise to have a fall-back plan. I'm curious to see with how the dates fall this year whether they start that week or wait for the following week. I know last year they did move up the opening time Friday the 14th from 9 AM to 8 AM .... because we were sweating whether we'd get in ahead of the crowds for what was initially a pre-park opening appt at BBB.

Oh, I see. TP shows they started opening at 8am that same Friday last year. I didn't think they did that until later in the month. Interesting. I need to mark that on my schedule. Thanks.

Wow. A night filled up in an hour and a half?! Glad you got something that worked.

I read reviews that everyone was standing and they couldn't see a thing. That the desserts weren't all that they didn't refill them quickly. I guess it all depends, I'm looking into Dec 20th..LOL! PEER PRESSURE! I guess you won't know till you try it!
