So, who's already going/planning for Christmas 2006?

[Twinks]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

We have our outbound flights reserved, just got to wait until after the 1st Feb to secure the inbound, but TA said there won't be a problem.

We are there 16 December to 1st Jan this year. We normally leave on Christmas Day, but DD is 21 on the 19th and so we will be celebrating Disney style

Stayed at CS and AKL this Christmas which was wonderful. Would love to have done the same this time, but as there are 10 of us again this year, a villa is a better option for us.

Only 48 weeks to go

We too will be there in December. We'll be at the Beach Club Villas Dec 17-22. Possibly going down one day earlier but waiting for the 7th month out to try for that. Can't wait for the decorations, atmosphere, Osborne Lights and Candlelight Processional!!!

I have read alot of comments about larger than expected crowds and it has me a little nervous. I thought the first full week in Dec would be great but....... weather, crowds, parade taping amd POP WARNER FOOTBALL have made me concerned. I usually go in August but loved the idea of short lines and Christmas Decorations. Should I change my reservation to January? I have reservations at the Swan at teacher discount rate ($165)but hope some discounts become available for the Boardwalk Inn. What do you think?

 

[Quinn222]

I'll be going with my mother and sister for our semi annual girls trip. We're going for the flower show in April too. Not sure where we'll stay. I'd like either the Poly or AKL. Depends on rates and if we go in October for the food and wine event.

 

[GillieRose]

We going and staying at the POP from dec 14-22 and going to MVMCP on the 19th.

Hi hjic15102

I could way off, but I doubt any resort on the boardwalk will be lower than teacher's discount. $165 is a good rate for a deluxe. I have been to WDW the 1st week of Dec a couple of times, and tho it won't be a quiet as Sept, it will be better than around Christmas. There will be lines to the new and popular rides, and MK is always busy on Sat. Just look at when the late hours are, and adjust your park time. You might want to get MVMCP tickets for MK.

The big PLUS is the holiday decorations. They are beautiful. DS has the Osborne lights. Epcot has the holiday storytellers, and holiday arch of lights. MK has MVMCP.Take time to check at the resort's decorations. They are wonderful!!!

Don't worry. You will have a great time!

We will be going down Dec 3-17, this will be our second time for December, first one was in 2003(7th-20th) and the Osborne Lights were closed so we really need to see them this year!!! In 2003 the crowds were very managable. Awesome Christmas decorations to see, and MVMCP is a must. One thing my DGS did was make a Gingerbread House at BCV (need to sign up early for this) this was one of the best highlights for him! Try to go see all the resorts decorations they really go all out! Weather was cool evenings but mostly sunny days (should plan for jackets for evenings) MVMCP, what can I say hot chocolate/cookies the snow falling on Main Street, awesome parade, shows! Wow, memories, I have to go now and plan for my tickets for this year

 

[3mouseketeers]

We are going Dec 16 - 21. We'll be staying at the AKL Concierge. We've been during the holidays several times and just loved it But we've never stayed on the property. I can't wait...the sunrise safari is my Christmas present to myself.

ETA:Ihave started a December list on the Theme Parks Happy Dance Page;please come sign up!!

 

[Bunchkin]

This will be our 2nd trip to WDW during Christmas!!

We are planning to go Dec 19-Dec 30, staying at POR.

Can't wait to go!!

 

[rwenzel2]

Fort Wilderness for us December 18 - 30. I've decided this is the year for "Skipping Christmas" and heading to WDW to enjoy their decorations instead of spending 3 days putting mine up and 2 days taking down, not to mention countless days of shopping, a full day of wrapping, and at least 3-4 days of baking, 2 days of cleaning house for the relatives and a day to clear out all the stuff left behind by the same relatives. None of that this year - just Disney Magic for us! OK - so maybe there will be some hours of wrapping since I've already started shopping at the Disney Store online for gifts for the kids to put under the tiny tree in the camper.
