Thanks to chiisai for the first post of the December 2018 thread which is the reason for much of the content here (updated for 2019). I am open to ideas for what else to add!

Thanks for doing this! I thought I had our dates in the original thread but maybe not; we're at the Poly 12/28-1/1 :)
 
Fantastic start @shairpdrh ! :smickey:

Our info has changed since the other thread.

Our trip is 11/29-12/8 and we will be staying at POFQ.

So excited!!
 
We have changed our dates a little 11/30 - 12/2 Cont. and 12/2 - 12/7 Pop. We are so doing this split stay backwards it was the only way I could work out the dates to stay at the Contemporary, for my son's 16th bday and heart surgery celebration.
 
12/7-12/14, staying at CSR for now unless a room discount comes out then I'm open to switching to deluxe.

Kinda worried about crowds, but my kids have been begging to go again, so whatever

I am worried as well. My family doesn't seem to be, but again...they aren't the ones constantly on the blogs, researching, etc...

We've been in early December many times. The crowds aren't bad, they're not the best either, somewhere in the middle. That first week has been POP Warner cheerleading and football week for years now. This year it looks to be pushed off a little from the 6th to the 13/14th (Cheer and football). The kids tend to staying in the value resorts, so plan accordingly. Competitions are usually all day long and many teams will hang out at the venue, meaning the kids won't overrun the parks until evening. Families tend to tag along and will be in the parks, so you will see a drop off in attendance toward the end of their competition as they all head home.

What may be different this year is with the opening of the new SWGE land I think many folk have arranged their visits to coincide with both the holiday festivities and the "end of fall" timeline that Disney first announced (it was moved up to Aug 29 if you've been hiding in a hole ;)). It may be a bit busier that usual due to this. If crowds stress anyone, I suggest taking advantage of the luls - try to do the opposite of what everyone else is doing and you should have a good time.

I really love the look of this new tower!
 
Now that we are all settled in over on this side, let's talk ADRs! The first batch on the roll call can start making reservations on June 1, which is only 10 days away.

What ADRs does everyone have planned? Any new places you are excited to try or favorite repeat restaurants?
 
After looking at my son’s school calendar, we added a day onto our trip and will now be arriving on the 2nd. Now we need to figure out if we want to do MVMCP on our first full day, Tuesday or our last full day, Sunday.
