My family (myself, wife, three year old son, mom and dad) are going to Disney Dec 5 – 12 this year. We all went in Feb of this year and had a blast. That was our first time so we did not do much planning, this time I hope to be more prepared. I will briefly layout the trip and would be glad to hear from Disney veterans with any advice or changes. We are staying at the Caribbean Beach Resort and using the free dinning plan. Parents are in their 70s so keep that in mind.
Arrive on Saturday, will go to Epcot for the afternoon and eat at Garden Grill (my son loves chip n dale).
Sunday we plan to spend the day at Magic Kingdom then eat at Ohana (my dad loved it last time), then watch the fireworks from the Poly beach. Anyone know what time the fireworks are scheduled for in December?
Monday we are going to Hollywood, not sure where to eat this night as I have not read much good about the restaurants there. We usually like to rest before dinner anyway so the location is not a huge deal as long as the bus swapping is not to bad.
Tuesday we are doing Chef Mickey for breakfast and checking out Downtown Disney for a little while. Plan to do the Christmas party that night. Kind of wondering if it is worth it? Will cost the 5 of us around 250 I believe.
Wednesday morning we are planning to go back to the Magic Kingdom for a few hours. That afternoon we will go to Epcot and eat at Le Clellier (if we can get the ADR).
Thursday we will spend the day at Animal Kingdom and return to the Poly again, this time to eat at Kona. Also plan to go back over to Magic Kingdom for the night Parade if we have time.
Friday I have no idea where we will go or where we will eat yet. Might just make a ADR at our resort for that afternoon and if we change our mind and get somewhere else if we can. Or maybe make one in Downtown Disney for the night?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
