Disney announced the swap of morning EMH between MK and Epcot on the 4th and the 6th. That's irritating but not critical. But if you look at the calendar they also made a change to Wed, Dec 5 - MK closes at 7, Wishes is at 6 and there's no MSEP. That means there's no MSEP again that week until Saturday which is a 9.2 crowd (and the day I have the tour booked at Epcot). Seriously?!?!
If it were just us, I wouldn't be so upset but with it being my in-laws first time and my MIL's all-time favorite Disney movie is Pete's Dragon.
No one has reported yet why they changed it. I can only hope that it's a mistake because I have no idea how I can work around this one.

I'll be staying with my girlfriend at BWI Dec 8-16th. Hopefully it will be a very "engaging" experience for us
Anyone have any fun tips for romantic spots to ask the DGF to become my DF and eventually my DW? (look, I'm catching on to the lingo! ...I think) I'm thinking something private... Im not really the "on the steps of the castle" type. Sooo... What do ya think?
.We did MNSSHP and this year we will do MVMCP. It worked great for us. We really enjoyed it and walked on most everything we wanted to ride. I know it won't be like the first time, but I think with the Christmas decorations and she's back and never dreamed it would be so soon, will be special. This is our first MVMCP too but I think MNSSHP will be our next trip. We may have to stake off a year, though. Next year will be ds senior year in college and he runs cross country. October is the end of his season and we want to travel to all his meets.....did you do F&W too? I'd like to incorporate both!
Brief background about your upcoming trip (include dates):Just made our reservation yesterday for 12/15-22 returning to POR and it is a Royal Room. That's all they had for FD. We overlap a day or two.....we're staying at POR too, but will be in the AB section
My Disney touring style - Commando or Turtle? We're fairly commando. Thanks to the DIS we were masters for the FP and followed a TouringPlan for the most part and it worked like magic. We take breaks, but we're pretty early risers, too. I'm tempted to do the Touring Plan too but I'm fighting my urge to control this whole trip. It really goes against my nature to NOT have everything planned out to a "T" but I'm trying to ease up and relax a bit more...i think that happens as your get older and since it's just me and dh......
We will try and hit a few things we missed last time and eliminate some of the been there done that's. I have a feeling Splash will be ridden many times, as well as Kali. We're from Ohio...December in FL will be balmy to us! Hubby is from NE Ohio and he loves the cold. It'll be pretty cold in StL so we're looking forward to retreating to the warmer weather in Florida too.....although I've been in December once 1997 and it got pretty darned cold that trip
We liked park hopping. Everyone says don't do it on your first trip, but we did. It was fun for us. I love POR, great Bloody Mary's in the bar! My DD even had a virgin one, they were impressed! Memo to self: try Bloody Mary's at POR! Actually, this is my drink of choice on the plane too......I'm not a good flyer.
I decided, while we should probably save the money, she is only little once. It is amazing what she remembers about that trip. Life is too short. You can always make more money. Get to the World, I say!WORD. Life is short, indeed. Enjoy each day and enjoy YOUR trip and your little girl every minute! My dd is 21 and is moving into an apartment next Monday. While I *know* this is the way life is supposed to work, I'm surprisingly not prepared for it!
We are NOT bringing winter coats. I bought several long sleeve thermal shirts from Disneystore dot com and hubby will, of course, bring his Ohio State hoodie......I also bought a long sleep zip-up disney jacket too. I think that's the bad part of traveling in December....you never know what the temperature will be like. I think you pretty much have to pack it all! I've heard that layering is the way to go so that's why we aren't bringing winter coats....but we're from StL/Ohio so I think our skin is a little "thicker". lol
Do you guys think you can get a good view of MSEP AND get to the Dessert Party in time to get Dessert? My friend says the absolute best place to see MSEP is over at Pecos Bills but I don't know how we could possibly get to the TTDP in time. Our problem is we've NEVER seen MSEP so that is a priority this trip. Where do you think would be the best place for BOTH? I really did want to do the TTDP but not sure where we could fit that in where we'd be able to partake of said desserts......which look yummy from the pictures I've seen!Just noticed that TTDP ADRs are open for November! Almost Decembers turn!! Can't wait...

Well I'll be in big trouble if they do anything like that on our trip Dec 9-17. MSEP is only offered 3 times that week....and I have Illuminations Cruise and La Nouba planned for 2 out of 3 of those. Even changing EMH will mess up our transportation plans on some days. Don't those people read these boards and know what planners we are?Disney announced the swap of morning EMH between MK and Epcot on the 4th and the 6th. That's irritating but not critical. But if you look at the calendar they also made a change to Wed, Dec 5 - MK closes at 7, Wishes is at 6 and there's no MSEP. That means there's no MSEP again that week until Saturday which is a 9.2 crowd (and the day I have the tour booked at Epcot). Seriously?!?!.
The really weird part is cancelling the parade but Wishes at 6pm.
We need a few grown up date nights and I have gone and done something similar at restaurants not in Disney. I plan on spending a few bucks, not nearly as much as dinner but it's not like I am getting a coffee and that's it...
