OFFICIAL December 2009!! Celebrating the Holidays.. ADR list page 41 :) - Page 3 - The DIS Discussion Forums

I went to Disney last year 12/5-12/13 and we are going the same time this year. It is Pop Warner week, but it was not nearly as bad as what I expected. I like this week because it is not crowded, prices are low, and the Christmas decorations are beautiful.

I also lucked out with flights. I can't believe how the prices change every day. I live 5 minutes from Lehigh Valley Airport - but they do not have a direct flight to MCO and the flights are always more expensive than Newark and Philly. This week, for whatever reason, the flight was cheaper from Lehigh Valley. Having a layover stinks, but you can't beat being able to get home in 5 minutes after coming home from vacation.

I also booked thru AAA. They were able to save me another $75 compared to the on-line price.

I am wondering if Disney is going to extend any of their specials till December. My AAA TA did say she would be able to honor any new specials that come out. Is that true?

They usually do have some great offers for December, but last year they didn't for the time you are going because of Pop Warner and the heavy bookings during that time. There were some great specials for the week after, some included free dining. And yes, you can change as many times as you want up until your final payment is due, I know that because I always change my resort several times. There were 3 of us last year and we got AKL pool view 3 adults plus regular dining plan for $2600 for 8 nights/9 days, that was an AP rate, so no tickets added, but the WDW AP site wanted about $300 more than that, this was booked by my AAA agent.

I know this sounds dumb, but what is Pop Warner week?

That's great about your AAA! Mine is not so hot.

Considering, it's their headquarters, I'm not sure why I'm not blown away by them. They could not care less whether I book with them or not. Plus, they don't book dining.

Pop Warner is a little league type group of teens and they have their "Superbowl" at WDW every December. This also includes football and cheerleading competitions.

Sounds like you need a new AAA agent. Mine is great, I would be happy to share her if you want to PM me, I will share her info with you. She is more than happy to help in any way possible. She would do alot more for me if I would let her, but I prefer to do some things myself.

Thanks for the info! I was considering a December stay (I'm a little WDW crazy this year).

I never booked a trip with AAA. I always start with them, but they underwhelm me. I end up with an online travel agency. I don't know if AAA agents can cross regions?

I am pretty sure they can cross regions. I was originally with AAA South, because there is an office in the next state over, but when my rep left there, the next one to take over was less than helpful, so I switched to one in my state. She has helped other Dis'ers in other states, as did my original rep. If you change your mind, just let me know.

Am here! This trip has a lot of firsts for us in it.This is going to be our first Christmas trip. I think that every Disney lover should see the Christmas decorations at least once. I hope I booked at a slow time. 12/5-12/13. Then this is our first time without my mom (gamma

) I am scared she has always been great, fun and makes the trip so much more enjoyable. And of course helps with the kids. BIG PLUS!!

My husband wanted to go without gamma this time.

I told him its going to be a lot harder without gamma but he insists. So we'll see

Oh and this is our first time as DVC members

We own part of Bay Lake Tower!!

So I will be here from time to time checking my ticker!

Oh I forgot and its going to be my birthday!! I am not telling my age!

My DBF has worked at a summer camp for persons with disabilities, he has Cerebral Palsy and is in a motorized wheelchair. I worked with him one summer and lost my heart to two boys with Autism. Also, I am friends with people here on the boards that have boys with autism. I wanted to help with awareness
