We booked OKW Dec 2-14, I can't wait! We will do the party and the perhaps try the candlelight processional. Has anyone gone with a 9 year old boy? I don't know if he'll like it..
Maybe? Maybe not.... But remember, this is your vacation too, and he'll get through it if he has to sit through something that isnt his favorite. That's life, right?We booked OKW Dec 2-14, I can't wait! We will do the party and the perhaps try the candlelight processional. Has anyone gone with a 9 year old boy? I don't know if he'll like it..

I booked a Thanksgiving/DD's 16th birthday trip for Nov 16-25. Her birthday is November 18- same day as Mickey! We are a military family so I booked in Jan to make sure we got the military rate at the hotel she wanted to stay in. This is all her trip and she is picking out everything we are doing/eating/seeing, etc. It will probably be our last trip together as a family before college
We are going the same dates as you and my DH has a birthday a few days after your daughter’s. Are you going to do MVMCP on the 16th?
Enjoy it! I remember my last family vacation before college and it was amazing! Book things that you normally wouldn't book. I did go on two vacations after starting college and it wasn't quite the same. What an exciting time!I booked a Thanksgiving/DD's 16th birthday trip for Nov 16-25.

We are going 12/22-30th staying at the Poly LV Club! I am so excited! I just need to book our flights because they are creeping up. The nice thing is we are doing an 8 day trip in August so the Christmas trip will be our leisure trip and just enjoy a Disney Dream holiday!
Looking forward to planning with you all!
Also a first-timer at Christmas! We’re booked December 22-28 at POP! We’ve never stayed at POP before, so also looking forward to experiencing a new resort for us. And I’ll be booking a Candlelight Processional package- it’s on my bucket list!
When do people start booking their flights? We’re lucky to live in a suburb of Chicago so we’ve got 2 airports only 30 minutes away!
.We are going Thanksgiving day thru Dec. 1, split with free dining. Huge Star Wars fans in our group and really bummed out to hear that the Star Wars fireworks show and dessert party has been blacked out the last couple of years during this time frame. I know JBJB is there, but it just wouldn't be the same. I really hope that they find a way to mix it in n a few times a week. I mean they did that at the tail end of last season. Fingers crossed and covered in pixie dust!!Also, do the Jingle Bell Jingle Bam dessert party! I was skeptical about this, and it turned out to be one of the coolest things we did! My 70+ year old parents loved it, and so did I! You really feel like a bit of a VIP, it's great.
And make time to see IllumiNations with the special Holiday "Let There be Peace on Earth" tag at the end. It's both beautiful and explosive! That finale is something else! Wow!
Aww...have fun everyone!
Aw, I can understand being disappointed. I haven't seen the current Star Wars show, but in 2016 we saw the Symphony in the Stars one (just fireworks, no projections) and it was absolutely amazing. Star Wars' music is just ideal for fireworks..We are going Thanksgiving day thru Dec. 1, split with free dining.
