Hi, everyone. Time is getting so close.

Hi, tpaetz. Just have fun and relax.

If you go to disney.com, you can put in information using using your reservation number to save you a little time checking in at the counter like your credit card, etc., that they ask for. They have two checkin lines. One for online checkin and many regular checkin lines.

Look on the opposite wall of the checkin desks and see picture frames of different items from the different decades. I always look at the 50's decade area. Here is a photo from Cory.

Check out the Everything Pop store and food court.

Check out the different Pop Century Resort three story icons and the sidewalk along the lake. Here is a map.

Here is a link to the park hours that travel agents get. This was recently updated. Notice at the bottom of each days park hours you will see Extra Magic hours. If the park listed is AM, then add one hour to the park opening. If the park listed is PM, then add three hours to the park closing.

And here is a great thread on everything Pop Century Resort.

After checking in you can look at the resort map and park your car closer to your room and the WDW buses will take you to all of the parks and Downtown Disney or water park.

Visit the other Resorts like Wilderness Lodge and Grand Floridian and Dolphin Resort for three story high lobby Christmas trees.

Visit Fort Wilderness Camp Ground and tour the campers lighted Christmas decorated camp sites.

Visit the Boardwalk area at night for the Boardwalk entertainment and the Christmas decorated hotels around the lake either by walking or using the boat launch.

Did you know that the boat launch connects Epcot at their International Gateway and Disney Hollywood Studios?

Don't miss the Magic Kingdom Wishes fireworks and castle color changes or Epcots Holiday Illuminations lake fireworks show and Epcot's Candlelight Processional and Disney Hollywood Studio's Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights.

So much to see and do.

RaySharpton -Thank you for all the advice. I hope the next 12 days fly by. We have tickets to MVMCP and can hardly wait. Do you have any suggestions on how to group the resorts together to visit several at once?

You're welcome.

When I am at Epcot or Disney Hollywood Studios, I can either walk or take the boat launch to the four resorts in the Boardwalk area.

The boat launches have a nice covered, but open/outside seating in the rear of the boat launch.

They make routine stops continuously until about one hour after park closing.

If at Epcot International Gateway, they travel to the Boardwalk Resort; Beach and Yacht Club; Swan and Dolphin Resorts; and finally, Disney Hollywood Studios.

There is a continuous sidewalk all the way around, too.

Here is a great map by Robo.

If you are at the Magic Kingdom, you could use the sidewalk to walk to the Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower Resort. Here is a map by Robo.

Or take the monorail to the same resorts, plus, Polynesian Resort and Grand Floridian Resort.

Magic Kingdom also has a boat launch that will take you to see Wilderness Lodge Resort and Fort Wilderness Camp Grounds. And you could take a bus to see the other resorts. Here is another map by Robo to see where the resorts are located in relationship to the parks.

And this link to Josh's review and suggestions to Mickey's Very Mickey Christmas Party is outstanding with photos.

I leave for WDW on Monday morning after work and a shower and a lot of coffee.

Thanks, you too. Everyone safe travels. I hope to meet some DISboard folks. I'll have a limegreen DIS button on the back of my AllEars baseball cap.
