Changed our minds. So who else is going in Dec!?

[BigGreen73]

When I first joined this forum back in July, one of my first threads was asking the community on this forum what they thought about WDW in Dec. The responses were numerous and were very positive.

My DW and I then decided that we would forgo Dec and plan our next trip for May 2008 as we like that time of year.

Well, guess what. We got to talking about it today and we changed our minds. We are now heading to WDW in Dec from 12/08-12/15 and staying at Pop. We booked our WDW reservation, tickets, and airfare a couple of hours ago and we are now getting ready for our 1st WDW Dec Vacation. Talk about excited.

So, for the Dis community, who can I expect to see at WDW in Dec?

How great!! Christmas season at Disney is my favorite time of the year! We're going again this year & you would think it was my first time! There are so many things to experience that you cannot do in any other season! From going to the resorts to be amazed by the decorations, to the parks with their decorations & special "shows" -- Epcot, country storytellers, Candlelight Processional (I always cry) -- MK, MVMCP -- MGM, Osborne Lights. Can you tell I get a little excited about it?? Keep us updated on your schedule!

We booked two weeks ago! We arrive Dec. 7 and stay until the 16th. Originally I had booked us at POP, too. The next day I found a code and called back to apply the special. There were no specials available at POP but we could upgrade the entire stay to Caribbean for just $46! Not per day but the entire stay! Sooooooo, we are going to experience another new resort (for us). We LOVE love love POP, though. This will be our second December visit and I CANNOT wait! It is the MERRIEST time we have ever had. We are going to the MVMCP on the 11th. We believe the money is WELL spent. You will not wait in a single line for any of the rides, the play was beautiful, the parades, the music, the "snow" on main street, the hot cocoa and cookies... mmmmmmmmmmmm... You are in for a truly delightful time! I am so excited to be able to say that we will be joining you! Merry (early) Christmas!

We come in on the 6th of December, go on the Disney Magic for a week starting the 8th and when we get back on the 15th we stay until the 23rd.

Our trip includes MVMCP after the cruise.

We're going in December also, but unfortunately we have to wait until the night of the 19th. We went two years ago from the 8th - 13th and it was awesome! Low crowd levels and great weather. We're staying at POP too - I hate we'll miss you, but you will have a great time! By the way, I see you have stayed at POP several times. We never have and we're very excited. Any suggestions on room requests? Thanks and have a great trip!

We'll be leaving when you're arriving, but have a great trip! We'll be down there from the 3rd until the 8th. I'm so excited - it's my first trip during Christmastime!

My reward for retirement is spending Dec in Orlando with friends. They say this month is wonderful. There's a display called ICE (I thiink) at one of the hotels there that has huge carved ice sculptures. There's also a neat gingerbread house display. Cannot wait for MVMCP. I was told not to look at the pictures I was telling them that I saw posted here because it would not be a surprise but I cannot help it. Look at those and you are soooo waiting for Dec!

Yes, this will be our 4th stay at Pop. We always book a standard room and they have all been great. We were also upgraded twice to preferred rooms for free. Pop has always been a great experience for us. For our upcoming Dec trip I requested the 50's building with a lake view.

Mr and Mrs Conan the Librarian will be in Ft. Wilderness from the 9th to the 15th. We are going to stay a night in St. Augustine and then be in WDW about 10 am so we can hit the ground running.

We were going to have to leave on the 14th, but, my boss decided to swich dates with me for Christmas, so, I get an extra day off. We aren't leaving town for Christmas, so, it works out great! I get an extra day in the Magic Kingdom!

 

[SkcMom]

That's the truth!

We will be at WDW December 19-22, first 2 nights at CR, then 1 night at AKL. We won't be going to MVMCP this trip, but 2 new resorts to add to the list. Hope it won't be too crowded, but that would be okay too, since we are at WDW.
