and to the boards.

First of all, make sure 180 days out you book your table service meals (ADR's). With the popularity of the dining plans, many of the best restaurants have NO room for walkins, and if they are really popular, the book up 90 + days out.

This is really true for EPCOT restaurants at Christmas. The have Candelight Processional packages. It is realistically the only way to get to see it (Your admission pass comes with the meal) Between CP and ADR's , EPCOT evening meals have to reserved in advance.

Otherwise, do not hesitate to ask questions : We will try to give you answers that make your trip more magical

Welcome aBoard!

We're going around the same time as you... Definately need to make those ADR's at 180 days or so, particularly if you want something like CRT. Also, if you want to do something like a carriage ride, Hoop dee Doo, etc., those need to be booked well in advance as well!

Ask lots of questions here... everyone is awesome about helping and making suggestions!

Hi and welcome to the boards!

This will be our fourth Christmas at Disney. If you're actually going to be there over Christmas, then be sure to make your ADR's at the 180 day mark, especially for Christmas Day, so you get exactly what you want. And be sure to catch all the special events that take place at Disney over Christmas - they're all excellent and worth seeing.
