The Silly and Mischievous Canucks do Christmas - Dec 2015 PTR - Update 12/13

[KatMark]

We've only done the CP once and we had Oprah...she was fabulous.

Just an FYI...Marie is no longer at Epcot; Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger don't have Eeyore with them anymore in the UK and it is a FP+ attraction so the standby lines could get long.

I don't think I ever knew that about Erich and Test Track. I'm not a fan of the whole new design and will only go if it we hit it first thing.

I could go for one of those slushes your mom is drinking right now.

Hi DM here, that slushie does look good right about now as well, each time we go to EPCOT I plan on drinking my way around the world and I get about half-way before the kids start shaming me. I just love the Grand Marnier Orange and I hear that you can get them supersized now with an extra shot added.

 

[KatMark]

Supersized with an extra shot? I'm on that next month for sure.

Yep, saw it on http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2014/...range-and-grey-goose-citron-slushes-in-epcot/

Great plan for Epcot so far. The tiering makes it really difficult to decide on your FP+....That candlelight processional sounds awesome...but...I don't think I'd want to stand and wait for hours for it either...

In my experience there were only ever two rides at Epcot that really needed Fastpass: Soarin and Test Track. Can't speak for Mission: Space as somehow we have never been! So I think we should be okay doing the rope drop dash to Test Track and getting fast passes for Soarin.

I definitely want to do CP but will not stand for hours in line to do so. So I am going to make a list of places offering the dining package just in case I can't get one at Via Napoli. That way we get some yummy food and get to see CP without the long wait in the "standby" line.

That would be pretty cool!

That's okay, we don'thave any characters we would want to see in particular. If we see some and the lines aren't crazy we will stop. Really, for characters I just want some pics with them in their Christmas attire.

I don't think I ever knew that about Erich and Test Track.

Oh yes, Erich is a ride wimp, even when some of the rides aren't scary such as Test Track.

This is my mom, Beth, just to make things clear. She likes to pop in once and awhile. Alek and Erich are on the Dis too but probably won't show their faces until the TR. Like I've said, they don't like to plan or even to know the plan ahead of time.

I'm a lurker....I am the silent and quiet one in the family. Lessa said that she would not be posting any surprises, so it was ok for me to follow and join in.

Silent and quiet online. In person mom LOVES to talk to anybody and everybody. Mom loves chatting with strangers in the parks. I think it is one of her favourite parts of a trip.

I love meeting people!! I think I will wear my Beta Sigma Phi sorority sweatshirt on a few days and see if I run into any fellow sisters from across the states and Canada.

 

[KatMark]

I love the relationship you two have.

 

[IheartDDuck]

The tiering in Epcot definitely does make the approach a bit different. We try to do the same thing, get a FP for one and then head to the other right when the park opens.

Real Italy is beautiful. I went two years ago and it was just lovely.

NPH as narrator would be amazing!

This was the day I had originally considered for the Magic Kingdom before getting scared off by the crowds.

I'll be at MK on the 9th and it's too late for me to change it. Don't freak me out. I didn't have a choice, through. Due to MVMCP, it was the only day that would allow us to see MSEP and Wishes!

Real Italy is beautiful. I went two years ago and it was just lovely.

My problem is that there are so many places I want to travel to in the world and not enough time and money to do it all in. This is especially true because I end up loving many of the places that I visit and end up wanting to go back again and again just like WDW. I know I will get back to Italy again someday, it is just a matter of when.

NPH as narrator would be amazing!

It really would! Crossing my fingers for an amazing narrator!

That was my same struggle as I love MSEP and Wishes but in the end we decided on the lower crowd day. Your family will love the nighttime shows though and hopefully the crowds won't be terrible.

It is ADR morning! It is 5:56 and I am sitting here watching the clock. I got up extra early to get all my work stuff ready so I can spend the next 30 minutes focused on getting ADR's. Here's hoping it all works out and I get what we want!

You're 15 minutes into it right now! Sending lots of pixie dust and hoping that it's all going well!

Crossing fingers for you!!

I think the pixie dust worked, thank you. Stay tuned for update from Lessa later today as I am not sure of all the ADR's
