Any tips for early December?
I just read that part of our trip (December 3 - 12) will be shared with Pop Warner teens, although Pop Century appears to be a safe place to be staying. Other than being prepared for occasional crazed-teen sightings, any other hints to make our trip (when I'll also be celebrating my 39+21th birthday) even more memorable?
Thanks!

I believe the taping of the Christmas parade is December 4-6 in the MK. You might see some famous people walking around. Regis and Kelly host it.

That's true. Just keep in mind that MK can be insanely crowded on parade taping days, especially Saturday,

Make sure you get a chance to check out the Osborne Lights at DHS. It is my favorite thing to do at Disney that time of year. Like the PP stated, I would stay away from MK during parade tapings. Have a great trip!

DH and I will be there the exact same days you will be! It's our favorite time to go to WDW, along with mid-late October.
Be prepared for all kinds of weather. We've gone to WDW during this time in 2003, 2006 and 2007. 2006 and 2007 were both warm and sunny, with only a couple cold evenings thrown in there. Most days were upper 70's to mid 80's, oodles of sun, and totally dry. BUT, you could just as easily have chilly days, too. I'm hoping for warmer days again.
You'll have to check out the resorts on the monorail and see their decorations. We love the gingerbread house at the Grand Flo. The delicious scent fills the lobby, and the decorations are amazing.
The crowds will be pretty decent during this time since it's right after Thanksgiving, and the Christmas crowds haven't really shown up yet. You will not really notice the Pop Warner kids in the parks except for a few groups here and there. It's not bad at all.
Definitely don't miss the tree lighting at Epcot, and the castle lighting at MK. The castle is absolutely stunning decorate with all those lights!
We also love strolling around WS at night and listening to the various story tellers in the different countries. I especially love Germany and Norway.
Oh, and the Christmas finale to Illuminations is so beautiful! Do not miss!!!
I can't wait to go!!!!!

I also recommend checking out the resorts to see their decorations.
Check the weather forecast before you leave home to make sure you are prepared just in case there is some cooler weather.
One of my favorite things to do is to ride the TTA and just look around the Magic Kingdom.
