We went to WDW from Nov 30 to Dec 4th, 2013, just before your trip date's and I remember that during the pre-planning stage the prior year's calendar was a good place to start. Some things stay constant, like Epcot always having EMH evening hours on Fridays. And we also discovered that Disney changes the operating hours at the last minute, so plans might fall apart or at least be slightly upset when they change hours on you. As long as the calendar is released before you make your ADR's, then it should be okay.
The most important thing you need to know when planning for a December trip is the days that MK closes early for the Christmas Party. Without that knowledge it is hard to plan your parks. The MK gets crowded on the nights that don't have parties, but it might be the only chance you get to see Wsihes, etc. Are you planning to go to a party?
I never knew Disney Bounding existed until recently and I'm sure that the average guest doesn't know about it either. The CM's would know, though, and probably recognize it when they see it. I understand your need to go 100% into something when you decide to do it because I am like that, too.
As far as the new forum software goes, I very much like the fact that I can once again use my iPhone and iPad for the Dis. The old app messed up and I wasn't able to access it on those devices. And I am getting used to the new website. I am one of those people who need to know how things work, so I have been digging in to learn the new tricks.
