Pre-Christmas WDW meet? About This Page:

[chezp]

I notice there are a fair few people around in WDW in the run-up to Christmas.

We get back to the World on 20 December and I was wondering if anyone fancied a meet at any point?

There are all sorts of options, but it depends on people's plans - I notice a lot of people are (understandably) heading home on 22/23 December, so if you'll be in Disney during that time-frame, why not post your plans here and we'll see where we get to.

My first thought was possibly an IllumiNations meet on 20 December, if anyone else is planning to see it that night... but let's hear what everyone's up to and maybe we can go from there, as some of our plans are fairly loose at this stage.

EDITED TO ADD: Sorry, the plans for an IllumiNations meet on 20 December won't work, as I'd forgotten that we get a special viewing area for it, as we're doing the Candlelight Processional dining package that night.

For the moment, why don't people who are planning on being there pre-Christmas - i.e. 20 - 25 December post their plans so far and we'll see if anything pops out as a get-together?

Cheryl, this sounds like fun!
Here are my plans (so far): Arriving late on the 18th.

Dec. 18 & 19 staying at AKL in Jambo
Dec. 19 I am having breakfast at BOMA!
Dec. 20 & 21 staying at BWV.
Dec. 20 Lunch at Biergarten (4:00) Candlelight Processional at 6:45 followed up by Illuminations!
Dec. 21st Open and planning to visit EPCOT (I might make a ressie at either Teppan Edo or Restaurant Marrakesh as I have never dined either place).
Dec. 22 staying at AKLV (Kidani- unless BWV or BCV waitlist comes through).
Dec. 22nd Breakfast at Chef Mickey's and Lunching at GF Garden View Tea Room.

Flying home sometime on the 23rd (still have to decide on a flight, I am trying for a later one so I can spend a bit more time at WDW).

I hope things work out for a meet. I have never been able to make one as I am always with family and this sounds like a lot of fun based on what I read on the boards. I can finally put a face/faces with PP posters!

Cheryl we arrive on 12/23 & have no plans for that day. 12/24 we have dinner at 3:30 at Rose & Crown & the CP at 6:45pm. We will be at WDW until 1/2/10. We would love to meet up (last year in Chicago was fun!) let us know!

Cheryl-
Just a question.....if you are doing CP on the 20th, don't you get a special Illuminations viewing spot with your package? Do you mind missing out on that if we do a Meet that night?

Gosh I was forgetting that! And do you know? The CM didn't mention it to me when I booked it - do we know 100% for sure that we get this? If so, then yes, you're right, I'm going for the special viewing and the meet won't work.

[HiddenMickey]

From everything I had heard previously, there is supposed to be a special viewing area each night for people getting the CP package. Here's a link to info about it on another website...

Candlelight Processional, Epcot at Disney, Disney Candlelight Processional

It definitely says special Illuminations viewing area. I'd usually use AllEars.net for this, but I still can't get on their website at work (blocked for a couple months now).

Hey Chezp! We're local now so we'll be around during that time Me and my DH (Handyman) would love to meet up with you and Mark sometime during your vacation here. Let me know when would be a good time for you!

That would be awesome! Why don't you narrow it down a bit for me? Between when we arrive on Sunday 20 December and the end of Christmas Day, are there any days / times you can't do? Then we can go from there...

After looking at the calendar, I'm not available on the 22nd or 24th. Do you have anything planned for the 21st yet? That looks like a good day/night for us!

Well, the 21st is my birthday, so we do have a lot of plans for that day. We'll be lunching at the Crystal Palace with my donkey, then having dinner at the California Grill.
