I will join the group! We are from CA so are AP holders to
Disneyland and go all the time but have only been to DW twice. Once in May of 02 and once in Oct/Nov of 05. We have done Flower and Garden Festival and Food and Wine Festival which we LOVED and we just hit the beginning of the Christmas and REALLY wanted to see that soooo we are going for that next time. We wanted to avoid the Thanksgiving madness but with my kids being in school it is SO hard for them to miss that much school so we are going to fight the masses and go Thanksgiving week. I know I know it is going to be nuts but so be it.
We are leaving on the 20th of Nov next year and flying in. We plan to stay the first few night at Universal, probably Hard Rock. We plan to go to Universal on that Friday (actually IoA). Then on Saturday we will check out and not too sure what we will do but most likely go to DTD and fart around during the day because we can't check into our time share until 4 and my dad may be flying in that day as well (he has to stay behind as my teen is not able to come, she is going to her mom's in Arizona for the holiday) But then we will most likely go to dinner in Epcot that evening and then spend the week at our timeshare and touring the parks making sure to see the osborne lights, holidays around the world, we will spend our thanksgiving meal at epcot, probably at coral reef, and then that Friday I don't know if we will go to the parks or not, may try to stay away. But then that Saturday we have to check out of the timeshare and we are going to check into Pop Century and that night we want to see Candlelight Processional at Epcot and then Sunday night hope to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and then head home on Monday.
I am hoping by doing it that way we will avoid some of the rush at the airports but we shall see.
Plus it kind of stinks to have to move around the hotels but we only get our timeshare for a week so it was necessary but we are very excited to get to see all of the holiday happenings.
Finally less than 365 days!! Woo Hoo!! Our time share is all booked and I figure beginning of January I can start looking into booking the Pop and the Hard Rock then I just have to look into airfare and such!!
