    Christmas in November?

    Thanks, I did read that thread, and just wanted to confirm that everything actually started on November 8, including the ride overlays, parade, special WoC, etc. I know they all happen "during the season", but I couldn't seem to find anyone saying that ALL start on November 8. Anyone know? Thanks.

    Christmas in November?

    For those of you DL veterans... most of the places I've been reading say Christmas decorations go up around November 8 at DL. My question is, if we go Nov. 9-13 will we also get all the Christmas activities? Parade? Special ride layovers, etc? How much Christmas is actually going on before...

    Tickets and MaxPass Questions

    Thanks everybody! I think it makes sense for us to get the 5 day park hoppers and then add MaxPass for a couple of the days. And thanks for the tips on where to get tickets. I wasn't going to purchase them this far in advance, but the consensus on some other sites seems to be that ticket...

    Tickets and MaxPass Questions

    Thank you! This is helpful. Our dates are November 8 to 13 OR December 6 to 11 (haven't decided yet- I have hotel reservations for both weeks and am still trying to figure out which time to go :) You are right - getting non-hoppers will save us even more, and maybe we really don't need the...

    Tickets and MaxPass Questions

    Doing my research and planning for November 2020 Mother daughter (ages 67 and 29 !) trip to Disneyland, and trying to figure out the budget. Saving every dollar helps, so I'm considering only getting MaxPass on part of the trip. Would love advice from the Disneyland vets (we are long time WDW...

    How to not have sore feet?

    I know this is an older thread, and I haven't read it all the way through so perhaps someone has mentioned this already, but I find that the problem is NOT all the walking. It's the STANDING. Even those of us who walk several miles a day in the normal course of our lives can get very painful...

    Fast Pass + Light Show = confusion

    In my humble opinion, the Fast Pass area in World Showcase is not the best place to view the Epcot fireworks. Waste of a Fast Pass. There are no Fast Passes for parades (that I'm aware of)

    Double-checking that I understand things about MDE

    Your ADR should show up in MDE automatically. And also your magic band will "magically" know about it as well... Editing: just read that it's on your husband's MDE. You can make your plans in one account showing both of you, that way when you are in the parks it's seamless for getting Fast...

    Is BOG worth it for 7 Dwarves Mining Train?

    Just found this thread when i searched. I just got a breakfast reservation at BOG for next Thursday, and I am confused. It's quick service but we still need an ADR? Our reservation is for 8 AM. There is no EMH that day, and the park opens at 9. So ... I assume they will let us in a few...

    Leave a Legacy

    Does anyone have photos of the new location of Leave a Legacy? I never liked the look of it (it looked like a graveyard to me), but I loved the idea of it... and my daughter and I always get a kick out of seeing our little photo year after year... We will be at Epcot for the first time in 5...

    Oh great! I don't know why I thought I saw somewhere that it is sold out. Hope that holds another 2 weeks! :)

    Love fireworks and night time shows but I am SO over these dessert parties

    This has NEVER been my experience. We've never ever shown up hours before (or really even minutes before) a fireworks show at the MK, and always just stood on Main Street within minutes of it starting. I can't ever remember people actually waiting more than 20 minutes or so in a spot for the...

    Love fireworks and night time shows but I am SO over these dessert parties

    You will be absolutely fine! No need to think you won't see the projections! I have never attended a dessert party or FP for viewing of anything, and always manage to find a prime spot. It's absolutely not necessary to pay all the extra $$ to see these shows. They are planned so that ALL can...

    "Official" 2019 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: Oh-So-Jolly Holiday Celebration

    Hmmm, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I'm not aware of a meet and greet with Peter Pan... I do believe he appears on a float in the parade, but that too, could be outdated info! Please please, get a Fast Pass for Peter Pan ride for the 2 hours before the party officially starts, to be...

    "Official" 2019 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: Oh-So-Jolly Holiday Celebration

    This sounds perfect. I am now working on a plan that includes watching the second parade instead of the first... or possibly even both parades (it's my favorite thing), and I might post my plan for tweaking later. For those of us not lucky enough to be frequent visitors we have a bit more...

    "Official" 2019 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: Oh-So-Jolly Holiday Celebration

    You are right that planning makes it better... that goes for the entire vacation, not just the parties. It is, however, a shame that after paying so much for the hard ticket event, you can't just relax and enjoy and go with the flow... Do you have any suggestion for a good plan for the party...

    "Official" 2019 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party: Oh-So-Jolly Holiday Celebration

    This really saddens me. Where is the magic? I remember when the parties WERE like having the park all to ourselves. So magical and so "extra" for all that extra money we paid! Now... what is the point? I am so disappointed for you and your family. The only thing redeeming in your post, for...
