For me it wouldn't matter, 2 hours of MK would be disappointing.

Mom2Cody06 said:This is the same debate we had. I was going to join a photopass share and when I discussed it with DH he said it was worth it to him to spend the money on the PP+ because it's a special trip. It's our anniversary, our first trip alone since having kids, etc. he said he wants pics of both of us and pics we wouldn't normally allow ourselves to buy. He almost looks as it as being as important as our wedding pics. Which was awesome to me because I didnt new convincing to get PP!!

But congrats on being all paid!!!!
I still need to decide about Photopass. DH is not a big picture poser. I told him I want a pic of us in front of each icon and he agreed to that. But he would rather just ask someone to take a picture of us and not do photopass. I of course want the borders to play with, so for $99 I think I would do that. But then I think about for $70 more I can have the ride photos. I know we will do Dinosaur a couple times and Buzz multiple times. Not sure if he will ride Splash or not. I will probably ride EE alone. Neither of us will ride Space. I can't remember the other rides. I wish there was a picture on TSMM.

Rags123 said:I've been lurking on this thread for a while. Lots of good information! I'd like some input on my plan for our Dec. trip. It's the first trip for DD and Ds (DS will turn 4 a few days before our trip and DD will turn 5 while we're there). DH and I have not been since we were kids in the 1980s. We're staying at AOA in a LK suite. Our trip will be short, but we plan on coming back in a few years for a longer trip when the children are older. DD is princess-crazy, and DS loves Star Wars the way only a preschooler can love something. DS also LOVES Christmas lights and decorations.
Dec. 8 - Arrive around lunchtime. ADR at CM for 6:00. May go to DTD to see decorations and Santa or ride the monorail to see decorations at the resorts.
Dec. 9 - AK. We want to see the characters in their Christmas attire (esp. Santa Goofy) so I hope that they're doing that again this year. Otherwise, priorities are the Safari, LK show, and the Jingle Jungle parade. We plan to hop to DHS for EMH to see the Osborne Lights, ride Star Tours, see JTA, hit the Disney Jr. dance party, and hopefully see the Muppet and Little Mermaid show. I'd like to see the B&B show, but I'm not sure we'll make it there in time.
Dec. 10 - MK. 8:05 CRT ADR. 5PM CP ADR. MSEP and Wishes.
Dec. 11 - Leave to go home.
I don't want to try to do too much, but I also want to maximize our time. The children understand that we will make another trip in the future and that some things will have to wait until that trip. Any suggestions on "Must Dos" for this trip? We may not be able to come at Christmas time again. I know about MVMCP, but have decided against it. Also, I'm worrying a little about MK crowds on Dec. 10. I'm considering doing MK on Dec. 9 and then hopping to MK on Dec. 9 for the parade and fireworks. My main issue with that is the CRT ADR, but I'm also not sure about all the hopping with preschoolers. We will have our own car, but I know that is not necessarily more efficient for getting to MK. Anyway, I'd love some input!

My cat does that - we call her Fatso Malatso. It might be your view. Go to View> Zoom > Zoom in, you may have to zoom in several times to get it back to your size

We're paid in full!
Abby and I three-way called our TA last night, and each gave our CC info. It suddenly seems so real!
I think we've got everything paid, but remind me if I'm missing something: Disney package (hotel, meals, park passes), PP+, Seas Aqua Tour, Cirque du Soleil, MVMCP, airfare.
I'm budgeting for the following: tips (Mousekeeping and meals), and any shopping we do while we're there.
I got a ton of extra hours at work this week due to the circus being in town at the Q (I'll be seeing the circus ten times in 6 days - thankfully I'm on fall break from school this week). So, now that the trip is paid off and I have some extra, unexpected cash, I thought I'd splurge with one thing. I'm really liking the 2012 park sweatshirt, but I don't know if I'll want to wear something that says 2012 after the year is over...
That is so sweet!!!!!!! Sounds like you snagged a great guy
Thankfully, sissy just texted me that she has had a couple people call her about pet sitting in November and she's going to use that money to pay for the PP+ since she knows I'm about tapped out in regards to our trip (I covered sissy's air and her 1/2 of the hotel for her Christmas present).
VERY happy about this because I was beginning to think I was bleeding money
Yeah, you are going to WDW and staying at WL in December!
Good morning another beautiful day here in Minnesota.
I am thinking of signing up for a tour in January; spent last night reading about the different tours and know I am more confused then before . It's just Jeff and myself going in January what tour would you recommend?
The 9th is a party night, I am having a debate with myself over that party.
I have a question for you guys. I have my Christmas
Stay at the WL but couldn't get it for my last night.
What do you guys think of POP Century? Would I be dissapointed
After staying at the Wilderness Lodge?
Thanks!!

I think it sounds like a good plan for your limited time. MK would probably be less crowded on 12/9, but I wouldnt give up that CRT ADR!! Eating in the castle and the empty pictures on Main Street will be worth dealing with extra people, I think.
Will your kids be able to stay out late at DHS and then get up early for that ADR??
It sounds like you have a lot more must-dos at DHS than at AK. And the AK parade is in the afternoon, like 3:45. Maybe start at DHS and then hop to AK and then go back to DHS to see the Osborne Lights and the dance party. Toy Story is a fun ride, but you need to get there early to avoid a long line and/or get a fastpass for later.
