[disneytraveler]

I am still working on my December days. I know i will be at MVMCP on December 11th with dinner at Tonys at 6pm. I have not been to LeCelier for long time . I am not sure what to do for Candlelight Procession as last year
i did the package. It was nice since it was my first time.

Hey Steve,
I did the package my first time, but I don't think it's necessary, unless you really want to be down front. It's nice from anywhere, so we're doing le Cellier at hopefully 6:00-it's my birthday, then go over to the candlelight processional. Think about it-there's another guy joining us..We're working up quite a busy schedule-it's going to be fun. Colette

Sounds good for LeCellier then. I am on the dinning plan but it wont cover Cp

Great, now there are two men in our group, and hopefully, during the months ahead, more men (and women!) will join us.

 

[DaisyDuck001]

Glendamax,

Welcome to the group! I'm so glad you decided to meet us at Le Cellier!

ANTSS,

I really really hope you can get the time off and be with us in December.

Colette,

I am interested in the parasailing. But I don't know how to swim. Is that necessary? I mean, I know we would wear life jackets, and we are not likely to fall in the water anyway, right? Maybe we could go parasailing first thing in the morning, and have the rest of the day at Epcot.

hey Daisy!!! I was thinking of parasailing last April but just like you I dont swim... and then dsis said she'll do it with me but then the weight thing was in question... there's a limit of 330 lbs.. we're both def'ly beyond 330 lbs so that did not materialize!

 

[Colette]

Steve,
Le Cellier is only 1 credit on the dining plan, unless they just changed it. I double checked on Deb Wills and it's still listed as 1. Flying Fish is 2, but I want to try some new places. Also, Wolfgang Puck's Cafe is 1 and it's a nice menu.
Antss and Daisy,
The Parasailing at the Contemporary doesn't drop you in the water-you take off from and land from the back of the boat. i've only heard of someone landing in the water when her husband requested it..... It's $90 single and $140 tandem(that would be the 330 weight combo). I'm going to go single-I'm more nervous to be with someone else-probably the weight thing-lol-I'm no lightweight...Yes, I'll call to see what times they offer-I'd like to do morning then head for a park.
I'm sure that Rich will be glad to have another man at the table-we'll keep our fingers crossed for Antss-this is shaping up to be a great group and an unforgettable birthday!

ANTSS, I'm also looking forward to all the plans with the group.

DisneyTraveler, it will be nice to see you again.

Colette,

I didn't think that the parasailing involved being intentionally dropped in the water. But since they require lifejackets, I thought there was a chance of accidentally landing in the water. But I'm guessing this is very unlikely, and the lifejackets are just a safety precaution.

I suggest that you save at least three extra seats in each dining reservation. There will be lots of people who don't even start planning until late summer or fall for their December WDW dining. We can add some of these people later if we save room for them.

Also, I don't know if you saw the post where I mentioned some possible dinner times, so in case you missed it, here is that part again:

Regarding dinner seating times for any evening, they all seem to offer reservations for every ten minutes, so if you can't get 6:00, please try for 6:10 or 6:20 as next choices, then 6:30, 6:40, etc. (Don't know if some of them also have option for 6:15, 6:25, etc.)

Thanks,
Daisy

 

[Glendamax]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'll bet the MS phone lines were jammed this morning!
We'll expect a full report after your September trip, OK?!!

Yes! The phone lines were jammed! The line was busy for over 20mins. Then when I finally got through, I got a recording that the wait was 15mins. It was actually around 20mins. So after an hour of trying I was all set.
As for a trip report. I can't do another LONG one. Those things are hard work! I'll write one. But it'll be short!

awesome... you got December too !!! arrgghhh am ohhhh sooooooo Jealous!!! I wont know till around Oct if my request is approved...

Ummm . . . Antss you are SOOOOO spoiled! Aren't you going 3 times this year?

congrats glenda

Thanks Buddy!

Glendamax,
Great-you'll be able to join us in December-now we're just waiting to hear if Antss will get her request. Take a look at Daisy's updated list of what restaurants etc. that we have so far. I can call for PS on June 14th, so I'll need a head count by then. I'll add an extra seat or 2, just in case...
I have the 10th open still, at night. I expect to be there about 3:00, so could meet somewhere for dinner and evening park.
Colette

Colette, put me down for 2 for LeCellier. If my friend cancels, I'll let you know.
Wish I could meet you on the 10th, but I wont get there till the 11th in the early evening.
As for the rest of the dates, I think the 13th is the only night where our paths cross. The 14th I want to go to the Christmas party. Even though there is one on the 11th when I get there, I dont know how tired I will be.
So I guess that's it! Unless something changes, the 13th is it!

Finally, I have a question about the Candlelight Processional. I read about it online, but still .. . . 1. We dont need tickets to see this? We'll be okay just walking over to the show? 2. Is there an actual procession? If so, from where to where? 3. Will there be Illuminations that night?

Well that's it! See ya tomorrow!! Woo- Hoo!!!! I'm excited!

 

[Colette]

Good morning all,

Daisy,
I believe that PS can be made for every 10 minutes, so we should be able to get between 6 and 6:30, no problem. I'll call right at 180 days out. I'm sure that there is always an accidental chance of a water landing and even though I can swim, I'd never want to go up without a life jacket. I feel safer at disney trying it than in the islands-because it's Disney. I'll call them tomorrow and get all the details.

Glenda,
I'll book extra seats for all meals, in case we have late comers. The Candlelight Processional is done at an outside covered stage, with bench seating. The choir files out onto the stage(450 people) and the guest speaker(we saw Gary Sinese) stands in the middle to read the Christmas Story. As I recall, it's performed 2-3 times each night, weather permitting and it's free. You just have to go early and wait in line. If you pay for the package, you get preferred seating down front, but I really don't think that's necessary because you can see it from any seat. I don't remember if thety do illuminations after the last show-maybe someone else can answer that because I have to see that while there and the parade. Are you able to join us on the 14th for Crystal palace, late breakfast or Wolfgang puck's Cafe and Comedy Club, at night?

Antss,
I am only able to do a trip to Disney every other year, so far, but maybe now that I only have to pay for one, I'll be able to go every year. I also alternate Disney with a cruise, because I have to go to the Caribbean in between-my other favorite place. I just came back from an 8 day Eastern Caribbean, on the Carnival Liberty, in March. It was my first solo cruise and it was great fun. I love the ocean.....

Colette

I really believe that I'll only get to see you guys once. Here's my schedule:

Tues. 11th Arrive, Eat, Sleep - I'll probably eat at Boma since I'm staying there.

Wed. 12th - MK in the AM, break MGM for Osborne Lights and Fantasmic

Thurs. 13th - Epcot in the AM, break, back to Epcot for LeCellier, Candle light processional, Fireworks

Fri. 14th - AK in the AM, break, MK for the Christmas Party

Sat. 15th - Go Home

So take a look and see if you think our paths will cross somewhere else!

Hi Everyone

Colette, Marsha and I have been corresponding, and Colette invited me to subscribe to this thread.

I will be at WDW December 8 - 16, and so far will be joining the group for the Osbourne Lights, Candlelight Processional, the Cape May Clambake, Le Cellier, and the Crystal Palace breakfast, and Pleasure Island (We simply MUST go to the Adventurer's Club after the Comedy Show!)

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

 

[PennConn]

I meant to ask, is someone keeping track and making a master schedule? I eventually want to put the schedule on my Palm Pilot. (I can't believe that I am bringing the Palm Pilot on vacation - that's something I used to swear I would NEVER do! LOL)

as of right now I guess it is all over the thread... I guess as the dates gets closer maybe 30 days before... they/you guys can post a finalized itinerary!!!

come check in on us from time to time.. we would love to hear your everyday woes

 

[Colette]

Glendamax,
You'll be at MGM on the 12th, as will some others and we'll be making PS for 50's Prime Time Cafe for dinner, before the Osborne Family Lights-do you want to go there? That's a fun place to kick back and act "Goofy"......
That's the only other time I can see right now.

I'm making a schedule which I will gladly share-it's similar to Daisy's, but we all have some individual things that we're doing so no two will be exactly alike. Don't worry Rich, I'll give you one with as much as possible, that we're all joining in on, once we get all the PS made.
