I was thrilled to come across this thread with so many like-minded people. We were last at WDW this past summer and knew before we left that we would come back for December of '07. As soon as we booked in October, we began planning. However, with the holidays, it wasn't too full swing.
Once January hit, it's been full speed ahead! It's nice to know it's finally less than a year away. I hope it doesn't go too slowly.
We went out during the last week of December and bought this year's Passporter book. We've made a list of where we want to eat and when, and have changed it several times. Our original reservation was for POR and just this week we switched to AKL. We're excited about that.
Having these message boards to help feed the excitement really helps. I've been reading and posting for a while now, and totally loving it.
I'm more pysched than usual about this coming trip because we are going during a different time than usual, it will be the holidays and I've wanted to spend the holidays at WDW since I was a kid and most importantly, we'll be celebrating our anniversary. We wanted to go to WDW for our honeymoon, but when you get married in December, around the holidays, and live in the northeast, you have to plan for potential bad weather, so we're treating this like another honeymoon (eight years later).
I enjoy all this planning!
