VWL December 2008 - Who Will Be There?

[itsreally4mommy]

Can you tell me how long VWL and WDW in general leave up the Christmas decorations after Christmas?

 

[wildernessDad]

The Osborne lights will be up through the 4th of January. I suspect that stuff will be coming down close to that date.

 

[itsreally4mommy]

Thanks! I've considered going the first week of Jan (and poss considered taking mom for her bday Jan2) but would hate to be let down if they were gone.

I am sure I will get a lot of laughs, but what do you think the chances are of getting a studio from Dec 30 - Jan 3 at vwl? We are in the process of closing on our first DVC purchase and I have 98 points to use before 08-01-09 or they will be lost. With my DH & DD's schedule and mine we would not have a joint break from school and work until June if we don't go in December. With an extended family vacation already in the works for the summer, December is the best time for us. We probably won't be in the Disney DVC system until mid November also....I know I am dreaming right, but maybe a bit of pixie dust will help!

Slim to none, but here is some pixie dust for you! I hope that you get it!

I've still got my fingers, and toes, crossed that we can get a one bedroom at VWL from 11/30 - 12/6.

Call MS today and check on your waitlist! People may have cancelled before the 30 day point!

I'm waiting for some moosedust for a 1 bedroom to free up from 12/14-12/19 which would free up the 2 bedroom we have because our friends had to cancel out (they had a very good reason and are forgiven ).

If anyone has a waitlist at that time for a 2 bedroom, cross your fingers for me!

We will be staying at the Wilderness Lodge Villas for the first time - December 14th - 16th before moving to the Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas for the next 3 days and then finally a huge villa at Tuscan Hills for 11 days (fly back to the UK on 30th Dec and land on NYE).
Booked a dedicated two bed - really looking forward to seeing the decorations and taking the boat to MK for our first day.
I believe that we need to rub the nose of a very famous bear on arrival - is that correct?
If any of you stumble across a family of Brits looking very lost then please say hello and point us in the right direction!!!!

[Tarheel Tink]

Milly, we will be there also. You will love the place! It is such a magical time to be there.

Maybe we will be rubbing Humphrey the Bear's nose at the same time!

We'll be there during that time and looking out for you. You are now on the list!

Rub Humphrey's nose to receive good luck, but watch out, he's a goofy sort of bear!

We're getting to the point when some folks may need to cancel their VWL reservation before the 30 day point, so I wanted to bump this thread to see if there are those out there canceling or getting December, 2008 VWL ressies.
