Last year was the first time we really enjoyed it since 2009. We wisely avoided weekends, and evenings in general.
Also, the booths were more spread out last year, spilling into Future World, making the WS promenade “feel” less crowded.
The bump up to two snacks per day per person also meant that I felt more inclined to be adventurous and spend credits just to try a few things.
Looking at 2019 Free Dining BounceBack dates, I’m wondering if we should stick with our usual Labour Day dates or give December a whirl. (Bricker has some interesting thoughts regarding these dates vis a vis SW:GE not being open.)
Also, maybe for giggles we downgrade back to POP for one year, and try out the gondolas. (Or not.)

It has been about 18 hours since the last post on this thread. Did all of the regulars agree to meet at a certain location? Are you enjoying yourselves at a private party?

You couldn't pay me enough to go to Disney in December of 2019. I'm betting it's going to be a madhouse with SWL just opening up. I know I read somewhere that it's slated to open in November, but I can't remember where that was. I was just really happy that we would be there before it opens.
I made the mistake of going to Wizarding World of Harry Potter a month after it opened. I'm the biggest HP fan I know...it was CRAZY. There were wait times just to get into the shops!!! 45 minutes to get into the shop with wands. It was wall to wall people. I got clobbered trying to look at wands because people in back of me just dove over my head to grab the wand they wanted....I finally gave up trying to get to them. I'm not even a Star Wars fan, so there's no way I'm going through that for it. We'll go in a few years again when it's died down a bit so that Hubby and DS can get their fix. We learned our lesson.

Sorry....it is my FIL's birthday and we always go there to help serve the guests. My MIL is one of 9 children and my FIL one of 11. It's always very busy and if my in-laws have to serve, they wouldn't get to enjoy the party. I'm betting everyone just has somewhere else to be.

I ran the WDW in December idea past Mike.
He said no way does he want to give up September and do 11 days in December. He wanted to know if we can book two BounceBacks - 10 nights/11 days in early September and 4 nights/5 days in December. I think we can book two reservations - one in each name.
This isn’t really about SW:GE. It’s about doing Christmas in the World. Also staying at Pop for 4 nights and riding the gondolas of death might be fun.
This would supplant a NYC in December trip though; assuming that was becoming a thing.

I’ve seen Osborne twice, but early early in the season both times, so Christmas had not been fully rolled out resort wide yet.

Be sure to bring a good book with you. Then, while all the peeps are out at the parks, you can snuggle up in one of those quiet alcoves in a nice comfy chair, and read your book. You may get up for meals, though.
