That was our thinking. I'm not keeping up with which park for which day - to be honest, I'm making my plans around what pops up and with Wendy only there for one night and having said she wants to see the Osborne Lights that night, I figured we'd extend the invite to everyone else - it would be rude not to....

We'd still love to host a meet, but certainly don't want to impede anyone else either. We were waiting until we had official word on the parks of the day. Is that still going to happen, or will it just be based on consensus from this forum? In any case, I'd like to at least listen to the Candlelight Processional (may not wait for a seat, but watching from in front of the American Adventure with a cup of hot cocoa is fine with me! ) Given how tight the schedule is, I'd probably do that on the designated Epcot night. So, if that's Saturday, then my gang will host another DHS meet (might turn it into Toy Story or general EMH meet) on Sunday. If the official DHS night switches to Saturday, then we can have our meet be the dessert to Cheryl and Wendy's meet!

My very lose plans at this point:
--Arrive Thursday, Dec 10th about 11AM - parks for the day open (if they have a DVC member holiday event like last year, I'd love to go to that)
--Friday, Dec 11th, Magic Kingdom all day and for MVMCP (Sha, Heather, and I are going to try to do the Ultimate Magic Kingdom touring plan, but anyone's welcome to join for a portion)
--Saturday, Dec 12th, Morning EMH at DHS and afternoon and evening at Epcot (assuming it's the park of the day)
--Sunday, Dec 13th, Morning at Animal Kingdom, Evening at DHS (again assuming those are the parks for the day)
--Monday, Dec 14th, open (probably want to go back to Epcot) leaving about 5:30PM

Not that I think anyone cares where I'll be 24/7, but thought it might be helpful for what we were thinking about meets! Sorry I've been bad about keeping up to date here, but I thought we were waiting until things became more official!

I love that idea my husband and I did this last year and it was really wonderful!

That's exactly the view I've been taking as well. The only reason we mentioned the Osborne Lights is simply because we know that's what we're going to be doing that night, as it's Wendy's only night with us and that was her request. Outside of that and a few other loose plans (the Christmas Party on the Friday night), I'm waiting to see what the official line-up is too...

DH and I want to go to the Candlelight Processional while we are down in December. We have never been before. Until we make plans for that, we will make no other plans. Then again there is the issue of "we are not planners". I have a hard time committing to anything so far out. I have a lot going on between now and December with a trip coming up in a few weeks, a trip to Block Island in October and a teacher conference in November in Washington DC! However, all of the ideas that people have talked about sound like lots of fun.

Thanks for the update Karen and Kathy. My guess is that we're waiting til Sept. when the hours come out before ironing out our plans. (even though I want to plan everything ) And Karen, I'm interested in everyone's plans. I'm getting to Disney on Monday for "me" time and by Friday it's all (or mostly) about PP's.

As far as the CP, I stood outside for part of it in 2007. I could see and hear just fine. I even got a few nice pictures. So that may fit into my plans again as well - we'll see.

As you can tell, I'm very OCD and I've been waiting to plan this trip since Mousefest '07. I know. I need to do this trip every year instead of every other year. I'm working on it. (not the OCD part but the part about getting to WDW in December every year but don't tell my DH)

I'm guessing that she's looking for mental health help vs. trip planning help but I could be wrong.

Or maybe a little of both
Need a cruise for 2010 & a tree-house villa for 2011.......
It has been over 100 here for 2 weeks, May need some cool down help too!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I could send you both some relief from the heat. I never understood how the blasted heat could effect a person until we experienced it. We had upper 90's with heat index of 109-113. That's stupid hot for us. I had a headache the whole week/week and a half and was grumpy. The heat broke Thursday. Today was 80 with 39% humidity. Kept the windows open last night and today. The temp at night is in the upper 50's. Nice!
