That looks good - we arrived on 14th last year and the parks were empty for the first week and 1900PF is a great choice for Christmas day :thumb:

Hi Elise

Your intinery has given me a couple of ideas, thanks!

We will be 'joining' you at the AKL on the 20th December!

This is only our 2nd trip and we are soooooooo excited about being at Disney for Christmas. Have fun.

Hi looks very good, my daughter recently turned vegetarian, done a little research so she's not just stuck with pasta etc, Beaches and Cream seem to do the veggie burger also cosmic rays at MK do a good veggie wrap, Kona Cafe have a good reputation of working with vegetarian options if u give them notice, they even have a noodle dish which is vegan friendly

Thanks for your comments...I am already editing my plans every day!

Not planning on doing Universal or Sea World this trip.we are trying to be a bit more chilled out than last time .
I am thinking of getting Magic your way base tickets (10 days-no hopping) as his works out 200 pounds cheaper than hopper tickets.

Can't believe its less than 2 months away!

Has the character breakfast at Tusker House started yet?I'm dying to know what it's like!

The nearer you get to Christmas the busier the parks will get so I would say as soon as you get there for the next few days hit the parks 'hard'. They will still be pretty quiet before the Christmas rush. It is actually very noticeable how much busier they get in the Christmas run up.

[MickeyMadMandy]

Hey! See you there. Everyone's right - do the rides and attactions early in the holiday and just enjoy the atmosphere later in the week.

Disney at Christmas.....here we come!!

:Santa1: :santasmil :sgrin:

[2waterford]

Tinkatoo nice to hear the parks were quiet.

[elise]

Just doing my own private 50 day dance!!

Haven't actually changed my plans for a while...

Tried to contact gaylord palms,but they haven't got back to me.I'm not actually that bothered about the brunch,might just go for a mooch.

[Nail queen]

Ooh you're so organised, I feel a very inferior mother in comparison :blush:

Have just had a brainwave, am going to print off your itinery, then pass it off as my own work. ;)

So if a mad woman starts to look a bit familiar after the first few days that will be me :d: :d:

[elise]

I look forward to being stalked!
I am not organised in any other aspect of my life...am meant to be ironing right now,before the mountain topples over(it's almost 5ft high!)

Even my best laid plans have gone wrong-Villa de Flora was fullt booked go now I've got a free day,DH will faint when he finds out!


Seriously though,I have based all my theme park days on what are meant to be the quietest days.

See you there!

[TinselAngel]

Hey Elise - it's comforting to know I'm not the only one who gets the ironing pile that high - though I'm sitting here smugly grinning to myself because I cleared mine last night - yippeeee ! Enjoy your Disney Christmas - we did it last year, our first time at Disney Florida, and it was everything we hoped for and more. :thumbs-up I was dreading getting to 15th Dec (the date we left last year) and being miserable because we weren't going to be there, but last weekend we booked for Easter 08, so I've got that to look forward to now.
