Congratulations!

You may have to shift days around to accommodate Mother Nature, but you're likely to have some pool and sunning days in December.

In December 2007 (7th through 17th), daytime temps were in the...

YC/BC frequently shares a bus with BWI--or at least they have in the past.

If not, and one arrives before the other, take whichever arrives first!

As other posters have noted, it can be very loud and occasionally can be completely dark for a very short time between scens.

I like the idea of explaining that it's Mickey's bad dreams and there...

Purchase glow sticks and similar items at home--Tinkerbell can leave them, particularly for the youngest child. Take them to the parks for use in the evening--SpectroMagic, Fantasmic, etc., rather...

Well, I can tell you from experience that it's best to have the names on the airline reservations match the names on the ID as closely as possible. We traveled with one person who has a...

Oh! And if noise from other guests is an issue, we encountered just as much noise when guests walked past our rooms at the deluxe resorts as at Pop Century.

If quiet is important to you, request a...

Absolutely!

I've stayed at all levels of WDW resorts--and the deluxe resorts don't begin to compare with five-star resorts elsewhere! So I had no qualms trying the other levels.

The main issue...

Your children will love Pop Century--or any of the value resorts. Whether the adults do or not is up to them. As other posters noted, if you go in expecting to dislike the resort, you will. If you go...

Take a deep breath. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out....

Okay, now relax just a bit! :)

You really need to wait for the 2009 packages and rates to be released before you can make any...

Ummmmmm....my last cultural geography class was a loooooonnnngg time ago, but...

Aren't Australia and New Zealand part of the UK? Which already is represented in WS?

I could be wrong. As I...

Yep! It was in the Mickey Insider--or another email I received from Disney.

Looks like you'll be driving at the beginning of rush hour if your flight is on a weekday. Might be a good idea to allow some extra time. Probably leave the park by 1:30 p.m. and head directly to the...

AeroBed--twin size.

It definitely would fit in the room better--particularly if anyone needs to use the facilities during the night! :)

Be sure to ship it via a private service, such as FedEx, DHL or UPS, rather than USPS. It's been reported that anything shipped via mail goes to a central mail area rather than the resorts.

I mark...

I plan ADRs around park hours and have a list of things I want to do each visit, but that's about it. I have four dinner ADRs planned for my upcoming December visit (11 nights), and likely will...

I've done three solo trips at the holidays and thoroughly enjoyed it!

You can be as social as you like--meet up with others for a meal or some park or shopping time--or stay solo the entire visit....

We've had good experiences with dinner at Crystal Palace.

Also safe, but nice if you would like a quieter venue, is the Turf Bar & Grill at SSR. Limited menu, but excellent food & service. ...

WiFi, no.

High speed internet (WDW version thereof) is $9.95 per 24 hours--or was in December 2007. If you plan your 24-hour period well, you can encompass a good part of two days with one fee,...

I believe the DTD Hilton participates in EMH. None of the other DTD properties do.

Haven't stayed at any of them, but I probably would lean toward the DTD Hilton because of EMH. :)

Is that true even if it's booked through CRO and not on points?

It sounds as though the OP booked a room only ressie--that happens to be at a DVC resort.

We were definitely past wearing our "Sunday best" to Disneyland by the time the go-go 60s arrived, but we still dressed nicely. Very few jeans and t-shirts, more khakis or nice shorts and collared...

I'm with your mother on this one! *LOL*

I've done all of the thrill and coaster rides at WDW at least once--just to see if I could handle them. Once was enough for most of them! :)

Still...

Regular shower heads at Pop Century. Not sure if a handicapped room (shower only) has the hand-held showers or not--haven't stayed in those rooms.

My mother used a large tumbler (glass) to rinse...

POFQ is an excellent choice for a moderate.

Pop Century is great if you go value. We had a 14-week-old guy there last December and he was completely in love with the resort. His 9-year-old sister...
