I called and was able to add 2 seats to each of the ressies, with slight time change on 2 of them:

12/10-Planet Hollywood-still 7:00-4 confirmed, holding a seat for Antss, that leaves 1 available.

12/12-50's Prime Time Cafe-6;30 instead of 6:15-5 cofirmed, holding seat for Antss, so full unless she cancels

12/15-Cape may Cafe-5:50 instead of 6:00-4 confirmed, so 2 seats available.

Good morning all,
I'm in the process of sending PM's to our group with cell phone numbers, travel dates and ressie times-should have them to all of you by this evening and will update info, as necessary.

Steve,
I hope you're feeling better.

PICK ME!!!

I'll be there Dec. 11 - 15th @ AKL!

I want to go to the Christmas Party on that Friday the 14th. I havent bought my ticket yet. So let me know if you wanna meet, and if you have any dinner suggestions for that Friday. I was thinking that I should eat at MK, but I didnt want to miss the parade. Got any info on that? (I guess you tell that I'm excited huh?)

that would be great...but I like to do the parties during the week, instead of the week~end...with the crowds and all. Is that an option at all for you? Let me know!
Thanks!

 

[ANTSS2001]

if everything work accordingly here at work.. this will be my 1st time in 12 years... the last time I did a Dec trip was in 1995 when I was young and innocent

Yikes Antss you definately need a Disney fix

 

[Colette]

I've been once on Christmas and loved it and once over New Year's, which was fun but New Year's Eve was so cold(30), that we had to wear our New England fleece and still froze. I still prefer that to summer-just too hot for me... I think early December is perfect to get the smaller crowds, the Christmas decorations and hopefully, not quite as cold. Colette

if my memory served me right... I loved it when I went in Dec. 1995 and the timing was right since I got a good bonus that time... new job and stayed at the GF Castle View so it was perfect... But by the time I came back I paid for that trip and had not done it again.... plus me and dsis we have April and Sept trips to the World to celebrate our bdays... Had tried January along side with the marathon weekend.. that was fun too and recently had done Star Wars weekend... now that was hot and crazy!!!!!!!!! But still had alot of fun!

Ohhhhhhh this totally look perfect !!! i have to go to all the temple in Chinatown to pray for a go for my Dec. vaca !!!

 

[Glendamax]

that would be great...but I like to do the parties during the week, instead of the week~end...with the crowds and all. Is that an option at all for you? Let me know!
Thanks!

I REALLY want to go during the week, but I can't because:
Tues. 11th - I'll be arriving after going to work that day and will be tired.
Wed. 12th - Dinner with DISers @ 50's Primetime, then Osbournes Lights
Thurs. 13th - Dinner with DISers @ LeCellier, then CandleLight Processional
Fri. 14th - Christmas Party
Sat. 15th - Go Home

The best night would be Tuesday, but I think I will be a bit out of it. So I'll just have to brace myself for that Friday!

 

[aubriee]

This makes 2 years in a row for us in December. Love the small crowds

Dec will be three years in a row for me. Dec '05 we almost froze. I went solo exactly a year later (Dec 06) and it was warm. Hopefully this Dec will be warm also. I also went the first week of Jan '05 and it was warm and first week of Jan '06 and almost froze. I still love that time of year though.

Can't wait to meet all you folks! How many of Daisy's group and Colette's group are on the DDP? With all the TS we are doing I'm trying to decide if I want to forgo the AP discount on the room, buy a one day MYW ticket, then buy the DDP or if I want to try for an AP room disocunt and just use my DDE card for the meals. What's everybody else doing?

 

[Colette]

Aubriee,
I am on the DDP, as well as Kat and Rich-not sure about the rest. I think it's a great deal because we're eating at some higher end places. I did some pricing from the menus, for what I like to order and it's definately worth the cost, especially when you figure it includes the tax and tip. Le Cellier runs around $50, alone. I kept track of what we spent on the plan on our last trip and we saved $140 over the price.

aubriee,

I go to table service (or buffet) restaurants for most of my meals at WDW, so I'm not getting the DDP. I wouldn't use most of the counter service and snack credits. If they had a DDP with two table service meals per day, I would consider it.

I don't know how many others in the group have DDP.

I am debating in getting it before my Sept. trip, I wont need it on 11th to 15th since I am on free dining. But on the 29th when we go for dsis bday with dmom and dad we would be paying meals out of our pockets. But then again their meal of choice are mostly the buffets and regular table services... so am a bit turn.. hows DDP work and I also have the AP and if I am not mistaken gives a discount price if I buy DDP... how much is DDP w/o the discount?

Unfortunately us AP holders do not get a discount on the DDP, In fact we have to give up our AP discounts on the room and must buy at least a one day MYW ticket in order to get the DDP (which we must pay full price for). We can get the Disney Dining Experience card for $65.00 which gives us 20% off most TS meals and even some CS meals (at resorts that do not have a TS and at AK--however, with the new Yak Yeti restaurant coming in I don't know if we'll continue to get the DDE discount there ).

The way I have it figured: if I stayed at a value resort (POP) I'd lose about $162.00 by giving up the AP discount (if AP discounts for Dec are what they are for Sept), plus have to pay $71.36 for a one day MYW ticket (which I don't need---after my Sept trip I will have three one day MYW tickets from trips where I've had to purchase them to get the DDP). Then I'd have to pay $311.92 for the DDP ($38.99x8 nights) and I'd still have to pay OOP for two character breakfasts, because I wouldn't have enough credits to cover all my TS meals=$19.98x2=$39.96 (with the DDE discount plus tax and tip). That means that I'd have to pay $585.24 compared to the about $482.00 I'd be paying for the same food if I just used my DDE card and used the AP discount for the room. I've used the DDP Sept '05, May '06, Sept '06, May '07, and will be using it again Sept-Oct '07 (thanks to the Bounce Back program). It's alot of food and I've found in the past that I frequently skipped desserts (especially CS desserts) as the week wore on and I've always had snacks left over. I also have a tendency to drink more sodas than I normally would, because they are included on the DDP. However, I love the convenience of the DDP and knowing that just about everything is paid for, before I arrive. Of course if no AP discounts are offered for the rooms during that time I'll definitely go with the DDP and just add the required one day MYW ticket to my current stash. Oh! decisions, decisions!!

duh! excuse my ignorance... what I meant was the DDE...disney dining experience.... with the AP you get $20 off and you get 20% discount on dining and all the restaurant on the ADR is on the list... but then how much is the DDE ? One reason I dont do DDP when we are on points is it kinda defeat the purpose on us because we do little meals at the resort and usually only ends up eating one TS in the park/resort....
