Happy Planning!! (Can you tell I'm excited to start planning this trip?????)

 

[newtodis]

I'm in!!!

Welcome to the group!!

 

[meredy338]

*Where are you staying? First trip for our DVC home resort, BLT and hoping to get a few nights at BWV for the first half of week. 7 month window opens May 5th

*When are you going? December 5-12

*Who's in your group? Me, DH, DD 2 1/2, DH's best friend and our DVC roommate, Josh

*What is everyone hoping for as far as ADRS? haven't started thinking that far ahead yet

*What are you looking most forward to? Christmas stuff again. Last year was our first Christmastime at Disney and we only did MK, MVMCP, and AK. Can't wait to see Osborne Lights and hopefully Candlelight Processional. Hoping Barnstormer is still around for DD to ride this time.

*Are you using any other site to help you plan? The Dis, Touring Plans, trying to decide about TGM. Used it in 2006. Can't decide

*What are you doing to get in the Disney spirit now? Planning our first DVC trip to AKL-Kidani next month. Adults only this trip!

Thanks for the links!!! keep em' coming!

 

[newtodis]

Thanks for the links!!! keep em' coming!

No problem! I know so many of us don't have days, hours or weeks to find the "Good" stuff that pertains to their trip and when I have time, I enjoy the challenge! I know we'll still all have questions, but hopefully it will help someone out or spark another question that we haven't thought of yet!

If someone's looking for something in particular, let me know and we can all keep an eye out for information on it! Maybe I'll get the ambition today and put all of our links in one post and hopefully organize them a little bit better....

 

[newtodis]

Page 3, post 31 is where I've consolidated all of the links to. I've added links to PTRs if people had them in their signatures as well as just helpful planning links. I've broken them out into different groups the best I could and seperated the links that aren't here on the DIS in case anyone's not interested in using the "other" websites.

Happy Planning!!

[MomofKatie]

We have a few changes- DD's BFF is coming with us! And we changed our dates slightly- we will be at WDW from 11/9- 11/14. Also thinking of doing 1 or 2 TS- we are going to try some new places. We are thinking of a DTD TS (maybe Rainforest Cafe or T-Rex Cafe) and possibly 50's Prime Time Cafe at DHS.

I added your other guest and updated your dates.

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Hey!! I need to update my dates and resort!!

We are now staying Nov. 28th to Dec. 7th

And we have upgraded to Wilderness Lodge Woods View...

 

[ShortyNBug]

I just found this thread but thought I'd join in if I can. We are staying at Pop Nov 28th-Dec 4th. This is our first trip to WDW. Infact, our first family trip anywhere! My kids are saving to "go someday" but have no idea it's in the works. I can't wait to see the lokos on their faces when I finally spill it!

 

[ForTheLoveOfDCL]

I am so excited to say I am going Dec 3-7th at Pop!!! Me, DH, DD(10) and DD(6)... We (i mean me)are dieing for the MVMCP dates to appear so I can see if my bday (the 6th) is one of the dates. I am hoping!! Then we will do another park with our "Give a Day, Get a Disney Day" tickets!

I was thinking of doing a character breakfast on Monday(my bday) and wanted to know the best one......haven't done one in awhile cause actually we are cruisers. So we come down go to MNSSHP and then get onboard the Magic and never do them at the park cause we have them onboard. So I need suggestions. Don't want the most expensive ones but I would love Lunch if they have one. Ok my disney nuts, help me out....LOL

Chef Mickey's is quintessential "Disney character breakfast" to me, but we also enjoyed breakfast at 'Ohana. I was leaning towards resort meals since it seems you're only doing one park day (aside from the party)

Questions on Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party:
What are the "shows" everyone talks about? Are they like the ones @ Dollywood/Branson during Christmas?

Also the dates haven't been posted, but what days during the week, when its held is the lowest on crowds?

 

[maidenfairy]

Put me on the list.
We are staying offsite at WH Nov. 20-27.
I'm trying to decide where to have our Thanksgiving dinner.
The travel party consists of me, Dh, DS (8), DS (5) and Auntie. Auntie is in a Scooter, so this might get interesting.

Questions on Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party:

We have been on a Monday, Tuesday & Friday so far.

Monday & Tuesday were pretty empty. We were walking right on rides - no lines at all.

The Friday we went was crowded. The rides weren't horrible - there were lines, but they were 20 minutes tops. But Main Street was really packed. We wound up leaving and taking the boat over to FW to watch the fireworks from the beach there - as Main Street was wall to wall people.

If anyone has been on a Sunday night - I'd love to hear how the crowds were when you went. I'm still debating on one or two MVMCP nights again this year.
