Business Casual Dresscode for Restaurants Update!!!

Effective July 1, 2007, Disney modified its Business Casual Dress Code at its premier restaurants to include t-shirts. The guidelines, which originally went into effect July 2005, still prohibit hats, swim suits, swim suit coveralls, tank tops, torn clothing or flip-flops. Suggested attire includes dress shorts, pants, jean pants, collared shirts, blouses, sweaters. Restaurants now requiring Business Casual dress include: Artist Point (Wilderness Lodge), California Grill (Contemporary), Citricos and Narcoossee's (Grand Floridian), Jiko (Animal Kingdom Lodge), Flying Fish (Boardwalk), and Yachtsman Steakhouse (Yacht Club).


In addition, holidays at Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a special sparkle this year as the park hosts the Harlem Gospel Choir Nov. 30-Dec. 25, 2007

My DS and I made a "countdown chain" on Saturday. We decorated each paper link with a WDW-related theme. It was blast! Now he has a concrete reminder of how much longer we have to go!

92 days remaining!

My son and I also made a count down chain. We did the fab5 pattern. 1 charactor on each link. He LOVED making it.:sohappy:

I can't believe it, I had to really look for our December thread today, so I thought I'd post 89 days until we leave and 91 days until our WDW arrival. We've all been playing VMK because we're homesick for the real Magic Kingdom!! Sad, isn't it? :xmas:

Literally, as I am writing this, I get a call from Disney-MGM--they have bumped up Fantasmic! on Dec. 6th to 6:30 instead of 7:30 and had to call to let me know that they bumped up my ADR at H&V to 3:30 (it was originally at 5:00)! Yikes! :eek: However, she said it would be great to watch the 3:00 parade right there and then go in to eat. I then asked if the Osborne lights would be available after Fantasmic! and she thought that they would, as that is how it has worked in the past. Also, I will not get my Fantasmic! voucher at dinner, but rather at Guest Relations at any time during the day. I hope I don't forget!:veryconfu (I put a big note in RED on my typed Daily Itinerary!):D

Also, we got to choose our airplane seats yesterday. DH and I stayed up until midnight so that we could get them at 12:01 yesterday morning! (Good thing it was a holiday!:animwink: ) Of course, that means we get to choose our seats for the trip home on Sunday. :cry: Not sure if we will stay up until midnight or not for that one!

Here is a question for discussion (I LOVE being on page 1!): Those of you going the first part of December...when will you put up your C-mas decor at home? We travel for Thanksgiving, so I am thinking...the first or second week in November. Too early?:lol:

Last year we tried to get everything up by Thanksgiving at the latest! Some people thought we were crazy, but I LOVE Christmas and it was nice to have everything done. We were able to enjoy Disney's Christmas decorations and WDW in December, then go home and enjoy an already decorated house! :xmas:
We tried to get as much shopping as possible done before we left. Although I usually have that done early. It was nice to come home and not have a lot of Christmas decorating or errand running to do!

Christmas decorations

We put everything up during the week prior to Thanksgiving.

Since this is our first year in a new home, we may start earlier so we can have time to arrange and rearrange and rearrange to get everything where we like it.

My question--is there such a thing as "Too early" for Christmas decorations?

I am THISCLOSE to being done with my Christmas shopping! Once we booked the trip in February, I started! (I have lots of young nieces and nephews, so some of it is pretty easy. Just a matter of finding the right sale!:lol: ) I hope to only have to shop for the four people whose names we draw at Thanksgiving. (Two from DH's family and two from mine!) I will try to have as many of these wrapped by Thanksgiving so that we can take them with us and drop them off when we go. Sure, we will be back at Christmas, but the less I have to think about by then, the better!

84 days for us. I called and booked our parasail trip for Dec 4 right before our 5:00 Chef Mickey dinner. Then we have tickets for the Mickey's Xmas Party that night also. My father and DH are going to Petty's driving Sat. the 1st while the kids and I dine with Pooh at the CP. I'm saving my Disney visa rewards points for a special pair of earrings I had my eyes on, hope they're still there. If not I am sure I can find other things:ROFLOL:

I forgot the Candlight processional 12/2/07 with dinner at Mexico. Has anyone had any luck when requesting special hotel wings. Our last 3 trips I've requested the Mighty Ducks wing at ASMo , hockey player kids. Fantasia was nice , so was Herbie. When I booked the nice lady said that wing is not a pricier one. Any ideas?

Wow, I can't believe it! In three months I won't have to countdown the days, weeks, months, years, to be at WDW! I'm at 94 days today!!!

I've started to do my Christmas shopping. Normally, my DH doesn't like it if we start decorating the tree, decorate the house in the usual Christmas theme, etc. until December 1st. But since we'll be going to WDW during half the time in December, we'll be putting up the Christmas tree and the decorations the day after Thanksgiving. It will help us get into that Disney Christmas mood.

Cooleo posted some info in the news and rumors section that could also apply here--he gave directions to some holiday videos on the Disney website. If you weren't excited before, you will be after watching those. It makes it feel even closer...:xmas: Anyway, either check out his "Castle Christmas Lighting" post in that section or log in on the Disney website under My Vacation and watch the backstage pass videos--3 out of 4 are holiday related! :sohappy:

I think I may put up the Christmas decor the day after Thanksgiving. I used to do that anyway, but haven't lately, so I think this will be a good year to get back to it :xmas:

See, here is my dilema--we travel out of town for Thanksgiving and won't be home until Sunday night. That gives us one week until we leave the next Sunday for DISNEY and I really need to focus on laundry, packing, etc. Sooooo, that means I need to get my Christmas stuff up before Thanksgiving, even if it means I don't light it up quite yet. I figure the Halloween decor comes down and I can take my time putting up Christmas (and perhaps keep my blinds closed to avoid the scorn of the neighbors :lol: ) as long as it is done in time for me to prepare for our Thanksgiving trip (which includes gift wrapping, laundry, etc., since two weeks after we get back from Disney we travel again for Christmas!) :eek:

Once Halloween comes and goes, things definitely intensify around here!:hammer: As a stay-at-home Mom, I am ready for the challenge!:lol:

Wow, I feel like I need a nap just thinking about your schedule! Maybe when you get home from Disney you could put up just your favorite things and not go all out. It sounds like you won't be home for Christmas anyway so... maybe make it easier on yourself and do just a little after the Disney trip :shrug:

There was one year that I didn't put up ANY Christmas decorations because I was in an apartment and we were moving during the Christmas holidays, so it seemed like too much extra work to unpack only to pack it again before Christmas!! We survived... ok, I may have gotten out a few small things, but no tree or anything major. That was really bad timing to have to move btw, won't try that again!
