My family and I are doing the basic dining. We like to have at least 1 sit down meal while we are there, but if I were going solo, I would probably do the quick service.

We probably won't. I'm thinking we'll do the Deluxe Dining Plan when we head back to Disney later in the month for my birthday and Christmas, but I think for the gathering, we'll go without a Dining Plan.

I am doing the dining plan, but I haven't made any decisions on where and when to eat.

Deb, I am feeling the same. I would love to dine with you. Maybe we could get others to join us.

Deb - I won't be doing the dining plan because I'll mostly do counter service. I like the flexibilty and I really enjoy some CS.

I will be dining at Boma on the evening of 12/9 and would love to have company. If I can work it into my plans at all, I'd love to do the Gospel Brunch at the House of Blues on Sunday. My only other plans are MVMCP on Friday.

I want to start working on a general plan for the trip but I need to wait until Dave or Chrissi pick 'parks of the day'. I could get everything planned and then find out that everyone is some place else - you know what I mean?

I'm guessing (hoping) that we'll start making plans after the DoD trip.

I also think you can expect to see more feedback about the December Gathering after DoD. It's a very busy year for Jenn and Dave. I suspect they have to tackle each event individually over several months rather than planning half a dozen gatherings all at once.

Why not chuck out some ideas for where you'd like to dine - you already mentioned the Crystal Palace and that's been hugely popular for Decade of Dreams - and see what response it gets from others. You don't have to plan dates at this stage, but it might be an idea to see which meals people are interested in, then you've got some thoughts about what would work for you.

Just a thought...

I use the dining plan and go ahead and make ADR's.
I find that when I reserve for one, it is always a table for two.... so I can post the dates and have mini-meets with other passporters. (I even buy their meal once in a while since I have lots of credits to use up)

We won't be doing the dining plan either as my in-laws don't get there until a few days after us (but we're all staying in a room together) so it isn't doable.

CP sounds good. I tentatively have all our TS places mapped out. And we plan on doing CP on Friday, 12/11 for breakfast.
