The Official December 2007 Thread

[mantysk8coach]

Yes, I know it's a year and a half away, but you can never start thinking about a Disney trip too early, right?

I am planning a Magical Gathering for my 30th Birthday at WDW. If I have to turn 30, it might as well be there, right? Not sure of dates, or how many nights yet, but will be around Dec. 13, as that is when my birthday is. I know we'll be doing Hoop-De-Doo that night for sure.

So anyone else looking that far ahead that wants to form a support group with me?

Also, wondering if anyone knows approximately when the WDW Holiday Parade (the one they show on TV) is taped? I am hoping to be there for that.

I have never been there during the holidays before, so I am excited about all of the new things to do!

Hello

I am planning our trip for December 2007 as well. We will be staying from December 3 to 13. We are looking to rent points from a DVC member this time, first time trying this out. It will be myself, husband 3 year old DD and our new baby who will be born in March 2007. I am so excited and cannot wait to get there. I will be taking my oldest DD to the Perfect Princess Tea Party and I know she will love it.

I believe that the pararde is taped the first Saturday or Sunday of December, so in 2007 that would be the 2nd or 3rd.

I love the support group idea, how about we keep updating our plans as we make them and post them here on this thread?

 

[schlepsnort]

Ok we are so bad, we haven't even gone on our FIRST trip yet to WDW and we are already planning for Dec. of 2007 to stay at WDW again! This year we are going at the end of Sept with DS (4), DS (2.5) and DS (at time of travel 6months) Are we nuts? Heck Yeah!
But with all the planning we've been doing for our first trip we've gotten so excited that we already know that we will want to do it again...Plus the timing of the trip works in great for me to avoid a certain family gathering that I can't stand! I get WDW magic and avoiding relatives I can't stand, can it get any BETTER???

 

[kimkarli]

WOW! We haven't gone on this trip yet either and are already planning for December 2007!! I am a teacher, so we are planning for hopefully the week before Christmas. My daughter will turn 8 on the 16th, so hopefully it will be in WDW!! We are also planning on renting points from a DVC member for the trip. I have heard it is awsome at Christmas. Looking forward to seeing it "snow" on Main Street!!!!! OP thank-you for starting this thread!!! It is never to soon to start planning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MagicMe]

Crazy (I have a 4-day Wonder trip coming up in August and a trip planned in late Oct/early Nov) that I'm already planning on an early December 2007 trip.

We were down in 2003 for Christmas and loved the decorations and the MVMCP!! This is just going to be a trip for me and my Mom (at least at this point) and I'm planning it as a surprise to her. We'll see how long I can keep the surprise (a year and a half is a loooong time)!!

 

[mantysk8coach]

Thanks for the replies! Great to hear from all of you! Let's keep this going for the next year and half!

The "cast" for this trip will be me, DH, and our daughter who will be 3 1/2 then. My inlaws want to go, and I am trying to talk my mom and step-dad into it (mom is game, step-dad is hesitant). Also my dad and brother would probably go. My grandparents would love to get to Disney "one more time" (I hate when they talk like that), but I'm not sure if they actually will.

I think with a group that large, the planning and coordination almost has to start now.

So any December veterans, what is the weather generally like?

 

[kyirish25]

We are looking into a Dec 2007 - the days after Christmas through New Years. I know this is the CRAZIEST time to go, but I will take it over nothing at all.

We have a trip planned end of Nov 2006 and also looking at June 2007, along with Dec 2007.

 

[danny1649]

Part of each year Dec. since 1992 and will be there 2007 also.

 

[chewysmom]

I think we're *tenatively* planning a trip in Dec 2007. We've never been to Disney (sad I know ) and have planned on a few different occasions to go, but something always comes up. The most recent thing that came up is our newest "surprise" that's due Jan 2007. I didn't want to go to WDW pg, so we've postponed our trip until Dec 2007.

Has anyone taken an 11 month old to WDW before??? That's how old our newest babe will be once we finally (and hopefully!) get to go. Our other kids will be 7 and 3 at the time of the trip.

I look forward to trip planning w/ all of you!

 

[loveysbydesign]

We're planning to go either the 1st or 2nd week in December 2007!!! We just had our 1st trip in May and are now planning our 2nd! We've been bitten by the bug-LOL! Especially my dh who didnt even want to go in the 1st place! Anyone know which week is better? alos are there any good DINGS that time of year?

 

[Simba's Mom]

I'm looking forward to December 2007 too! Although I'm going a couple times before that, December 2007 is when I plan to take my longest solo trip ever. There's just so much I plan to do during that time it won't fit in one week. So glad to see others thinking about it already too.

 

[Texa]

Hooray a thread for December 2007! That means it's close enough to really start thinking about it. We are looking at Dec 19-25th and renting points also.

 

[chewysmom]

Does anyone know when we can go ahead and book? (package + dining) I don't know how far out their computers go. I feel like once I send my $$ dh would be more inclined to actually GO this time. I've had a hard time convincing him that WDW would be fun-and worth the $$. He's pretty excited about it now, but it's just so far off!

 

[mantysk8coach]

Just bumping this up!

Any more joiners???

 

[daisy_77]

We are also planning on a Dec trip! Nov 27-Dec 6, 2007 at the Wilderness Lodge! It will be our daughter's first trip and it will also be her birthday!
We went last year Nov 29-Dec 5 and it was perfect weather! The parks are all decorated for Christmas. It is a great time to go!

 

[Scornelius]

Oh, I'm so happy that I'm not the only one planning a trip 16 months away! We took a trip around July 4th for our honeymoon, and as soon as we got back, we started planning our next trip! It was going to be a bit earlier, but we found out that my step sister is getting married in the Bahamas in September 07, so it got pushed back. We'll be at POR from the 10th to the 16th, hopefully avoiding those pesky POP Warner crowds. I can't wait to see the World all decorated for Christmas. And after the crowds of Independance Day, I'm looking forward to a bit of breathing room from the off season. (Personal space, people!)

 

[mantysk8coach]

Any of you December '07 people getting even more excited now that the 2007 packages are out? Part of me wants to go book right now just because I can. But we are doing a family magical gathering for my 30th birthday, and I have lots of people to coordinate with, who aren't fans of planning this far ahead like me.

Hey...my ticker is gone...WTH???

Off to build a new one!

 

[cjtorres]

I am planning our trip for December 2007 as well. We will be staying from December 11 to19 .

 

[javaonline]

I kinda half way expected there to be a December 2007 thread...and went searching for one....and voila! here it is!

We're just back from a mid-Oct vacation to Disney, and now planning to go during my son's birthday in 2007. He'll be 7 and my daughter will be 3 1/2.

Planning on Dec 8-15, 2007...Assuming we can scrape enough pennies together to make it happen!
