Grand Floridian is looking like my paradise with the Mary Poppins interiors and now the Alice pool!

Which part, the main resort or the DVC section.

The whole Christmas week is very busy. Suggest stay longer as there are plenty of other things to do at Disney apart from the theme parks.

The two weeks leading up to Christmas are the best.

We will be arriving on the 16th and were hoping to do the parks (rides etc) in that week before Xmas. I was really just thinking of celebrating NYE at Disney because we will be staying there then. Those crowds though...

Will you try to use your Aulani points to book at the 7 month window or rent points to book at 11 months.

We went to Magic Kingdom yesterday and it was busier than it was the week before Christmas. The weeks before Christmas are great with little maintenance work, Christmas decorations are up and the parks have long opening hours.

There are plenty of places at Disney apart from the parks to celebrate NYE.

Boardwalk entertainer. Carlo doing the sword swallowing. Carlo told us he drinks 4 litres of water to expand his stomach beforehand.

Placed on either side of the fireplace are the scary "nanny chairs" that were originally found on 19th century European carrousels. They were intended for adults to rest upon while their children rode the moving animals. From this concept developed the more traditional "chariot" benches. It would have been inappropriate for female nannies to even ride side saddle on a carousel horse. These reproductions were cast from circa 1889 originals, hand painted and highlighted with gold leaf. In a moment of cleverness, the two Imagineers involved in the reproductions printed their names on the back of each chair: Todd and Paul.
